Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[SweetasSoda]

He's using a photo from an official visit in high school to mess with folks. He knows some fans will freak out over a photo like that.

But why exactly would he want to do that to Tennessee fans?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Random though but do you know who I was irrationally excited for as a recruit that never panned out?

Jerod Askew

I was convinced he was going to be a beast just like Jerod Mayo. Oh well.

That would be Q Crouch for me.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

But why exactly would he want to do that to Tennessee fans?

Maybe because Tennessee fans accused him of all kinds of bad things when he didn't play against South Carolina.

Drake Maye turned down 'a whole lot of money to stay' with UNC football, Mack Brown shares

Good for him! Loyalty.

Flashback to June 2021.... Thought some in here might need a good laugh!!!!



Mike Farrell from Rivals:


1. Tennessee is in big trouble at the quarterback position.

Harrison Bailey (AP Images)
Farrell’s take: FICTION. Normally I’d say yes with the Vols reaching on
Joe Milton
in the transfer portal and now with the dismissal of
Kaidon Salter
but I’m making this fiction because of my belief in
Harrison Bailey
.


Hendon Hooker
also transferred in. but I’m not a huge fan of his passing consistency.

Brian Maurer
is solid but Bailey, the former five-star, is the one who excites me. The question will be if he has enough talent around him to succeed and how big a step he can take in his development. But I still believe you’re as good as your best quarterback, and Bailey is going to be good.

Vols 3 seed

Or we calmly observe the coaches doing their job. We then enjoy reading about the players after they sign and are on campus. Have personally never obsessed over recruits. Just not my thing. I’m pretty laid back about recruiting.

When we had crappy coaches, I hoped that the players would rise above their coaches competence. We had many bad years with players that were highlights.

Now that we have qualified coaches with great vision of a winning program and the ability to help players develop, I am just here to enjoy the ride.

I just scroll by the obsessive posts (mostly), put trollish posters on my ignore list and look for the brighter side of life.

I am by nature an optimist.

We’re twins!

These morons obviously forgot to update their preseason predictions with the actual results of what happened on the field. Idiots.

The good thing for Levis, though, is that the Texans seem to already run the Kentucky no-scoring offense. He should be able to really hit the ground running there.

 

[SweetasSoda]

We need backups that also log many, many plays. Offense and defense. That way we can continue to run lightning fast and overwhelm opponents. There wasn’t any drop off from Mincey to Crawford. Would be great to have along the entire OL.
Same way with DL or the entire team…

Yes, that’s how you get a championship team. You’re only as strong as your weakest man.

He will definitely hit the ground… with the ball. Ha, see what I did there!

 

[Rizzo924]

Guess we are going to have to watch it. Watched episode 1 from season 1 and it never grabbed us but have seen so many people talking about it

I watched Season 1 - was just ok. Wasn't gonna watch Season 2 but then did because I was intrigued by all the memes! (I thought Season 2 was better).

Coach material?

There were several in here mad at my Bailey updates about how bad he was doing.

 

[99Vol]

Wow!

 

[Nash_Vol97]

He planning to transfer to UCLA? Weird he's wearing all Under Armor attire while talking about Nike.

He OV’d to UCLA during his recruitment and I think he had UCLA pretty high on his list. If he does transfer somewhere, it wouldn’t surprise me to see UCLA heavily in the mix.

 

[volbeast33]

He would have to really want it bc you will be broke for awhile as you work your way up.

Young enough to not know National Lampoon was actually a magazine! Ya learn something new every day.

Officially a great person

 

[Ten_Titans]

Huh? I need to find out why from his aunt.............

Obviously I have no idea, but minor league baseball is grueling. Definitely not like other sports where even the lowest guys on the totem poll are compensated well.
