Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[volbeast33]

Got some good answers on players to watch. What position group are y’all going to pay particular attention to? Do you think the team will be farther along than they were this time last year?

Spring games are fun to watch( I’m very excited) but they typically tell you very little on how good the team or players are doing…. The most fun will be the overreactions by our fans after the game…. I’m excited to see all the new/younger players.

 

[JCVol00]

That's @jpope9's avi. Try again.

Better?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Every year I'm like "oh I'm gonna watch this group or that"

And every year I watch it like any other game...watch qb until ball leaves hand...then watch whoever has ball...ball in air...just watch ball

That’s pretty much what I do.

 

[therickbol]

Wth did I just watch?

The death of the UCF football program.

 

[BigOrange15]

Don't give credit for loser mentality of giving up on your most beloved team.

It's also just flat out silly to decide what a team is or isn't partway through a season. UConn bball was meh 2 months into the season...

Im giving credit to the team for not having a loser mentality like past ones.

Mel Kiper moved Darnell Wright up to No. 9 going to Chicago.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Beautiful

Edit..you have to click on it to see it all.

 

[Volbucky]

You going offshore

Yeah, Islamorada humps.

 

[Devo182]

Wtf did I just stumble across? The Council of Andrews?

Some weird shiz that only comes about on the internet.

First I ran across this FB post:



Which then led to wonder why hundreds of people named Andrew were telling this employee named Andrew "NDH"...so I googled NDH meaning and came upon an Urban Dictionary entry by someone named "The Council of Andrews"...ok now we're getting somewhere.

Then I googled this apparent council and came across this bizarre site:

Council of Andrews


So yeah...wtf...

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Don’t know if I’ll get to watch the spring game live, but I just put $500 on the Orange team to win.

 

[Orange.]

We are positively loaded with recruits on campus this weekend.

If we do, we may portal shop. Depends on who is out there, and if it's at positions we need help. Could be we put Bishop on scholarship given the reports of how he's done during Spring Practice. JMO, but the only positions I'd say we may need help at are OL and TE (for depth). But if there's a star player that jumps in the portal that instantly makes us better, and he has interest in coming here, you likely don't say no.

And I'm not sure if we really need help at the OL, or if we just need our OL to gel. We just need them to protect Milton. As far as TE, I just wonder if we might need one more for depth? I think we have our starters, but if someone gets hurt...??

Thought Bishop was on scholarship..

 

[butchna]

Prolly right. My favorite thing about Bo was and will always be the Vols beating him and top-ranked Auburn in Neyland. A top-tier game.

I watched a VHS of that game until I wore the tape out. Didn't Dale Jones break his face-mask on Bo's chest one play?

If not? You won’t hear it from me! Errybody loved Dale…for good reason. My favorite was Kelly Ziegler…our resident Ray Nitschke.

 

[rgvol]

Yeah, Islamorada humps.

Awesome!!!! Good for you man.

 

[butchna]

Thought Bishop was on scholarship..

Apparently he said he was during his signing interview.

 

[butchna]

Mel Kiper moved Darnell Wright up to going No. 9 to Chicago.

Not a problem with taking your guy earlier than his projection, but like the idea of trading down with Pittsburgh at 17 and selecting him there after getting our 2nd pick back and maybe a second the next season. With our luck, someone else will jump on him before 17 tho…he’s climbing.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Haha I agree that’s where I’m fixing to head

Fixing the head? That will take all day.

Unless that's what she said?

I'm on here too much.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I’m in south Florida, about to go fishing, no

 

[Batman1948]

2nd base and SS have been like the secondary in football. Boobs.

What's really bad is that we picked up the SS from the portal and almost screwed the pooch to get him. Everyone seems to think he has MLB talent but he's not showing it here right now.

 

[drvenner]

We know one thing. Our pitching staff ain't the problem

Dolander and Burns have under performed. If you were talking about just last night, Lindsey definitely deserved better.

 

[Weezer]

Thought Bishop was on scholarship..

Last I heard, he was not, but it's been a topic of much debate. I don't really know for certain.

 

[drvenner]

I say vice versa. He loved baseball and would have stopped his part time “hobby” well short of HOF candidacy imo. We forget just how great he was at his first love. With a fake hip he was still launching homeruns.

Selfishly wish he had focused solely on MLB. AND, I'm a Raiders fan

 

[drvenner]

That's at 2b. He's often involved some how. Change up 2b and see if it sparks some focus into him.

It's not just Moore. Burke had been bad and Ahuna average, at best.

 

[butchna]

It was fun…specially the Boz trampling. But not worth the end of the baseball highlights.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Blah. Nothing excuses all the errors being made. As a pitcher how can you pitch without being able to trust the fielders behind you…..

You are worried about anything being put into play……

I think that’s why he started Lindsey. To make a point that it ain’t the pitching.
