Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[GiggerVol]

I’m not saying anything, because it bit me last time, but you might find an interesting name show up in the student directory sometime today.

Will this potential name be someone we have been posting on already or a name that came out of nowhere?

 

[Vol423]

Lockdown CB SN!!!

I've heard this before.

 

[Jimmy Football]

That's bit us in the but before too. How many players name have shown up in the directory but never made it to campus

That’s true. Again, I’m not making any more predictions. I shouldn’t have the last time.

Someone we’ve been discussing.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

So it's either the BYU corner or UGA corner

 

[bkbasketball]

I don’t expect any activity today. Today is last day to inform school of intentions but then school has 48 hours to put u in the portal.

It’s actually there now, if anyone wants to look.

Edit: Also, as @Pridedad said, this doesn’t necessarily mean anything other than we obviously have serious interest in the prospect.

More than interest.

I played travel ball at that age for years. Too many parents and coaches there too trying way too hard. Adding and dropping kids, lying, paying for stuff, it's just a game your 10 year old isn't getting a full ride if he goes 4-4 that day.

I totally agree about specializing in one sport, at some point maybe but too many parents force kids to do it way too early. Playing multiple sports is advantageous for many reasons. Hell when I got my college offer it was for a sport I had only done since 7th grade and was just starting to figure out, I had played baseball for a lot longer and would've never sniffed an offer. Plus it leads to burnout which isn't good either.

I never liked it because if one kid that was good enough couldn't play because of the cost I thought that was wrong. They always said we could do fund raisers and the like but my thing was that those parents couldn't get off to participate in that either. Burn out for kids is real and playing that many games is good for some but as I look back at some of the ones that parents "pushed" them I found that a large percentage never played high school ball much less college.
Everybody likes to see there children succeed but I think letting them be good at what they like is best. I played all sports growing up but football was my sport. My son played baseball but never football and I had people say why isn't he playing and my response was he ain't me. He made All Stars in baseball and was tired of playing and told me he wanted to try something else and I asked after All Stars and he said no now. I asked what he wanted to do and he said In-line hockey so I told him we would get his equipment. He played Ice Hockey in High School , In-Line for UT Chattanooga (club sport) and plays Ice Hockey to this day in the Beer Leagues in Nashville. I still enjoy watching him play and he's 28 and what I enjoy most is watching him glance up in the stands after he makes a play to this very day.

The coaches have been helping portalers find soft landings. Most have solid interest or something in the works before putting in the paperwork. The SA can go directly to compliance without sitting down with the coaches first, but that hasn't been happening. So no one expects a blindside today.

 

[Walkman]

Swain says he’s here but for some reason they are holding off on announcing.

 

[LA Vol]

Me, neither. Not a clue.

t’s dotted and i’s crossed.

Don’t know who would win but Tyson could throw massive uppercuts from the clinch. It seems like people forget he was like a bull coming at people and wanted to fight in a phone booth. If you didn’t get a perfect tie up with him you were eating hands.

Tyson was NEVER a phone booth fighter. Thats Frazier, Norton, Marciano. It doesn't make sense for a short armed fighter, but for whatever reason Mike was remarkably unremarkable in the clinch. Almost never punched his way out of a tie up nor wrestled his way out. He either tried to break the dude's arm or waited to be seperated.

we got ourselves a soaker

The two best boxing matches I ever saw were Hagler vs Hearns and Ron Lyle vs Ernie Shavers. Lyle vs Shavers was something that people should see if you want to see Heavy Weights go at it. Jack Dempsey fought 17 fights in one year and only weighed 187 lbs. He had 85 fights total. Ali said Ezzard Charles would have caused him more trouble than any other boxer if they had ever fought.

Those Gatti versus Ward fights were something else too.
