Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Jackcrevol]

The first Wonder Woman movie was good IMO.

The only DCU movie that has been.

It was serviceable bc of its actress, all else post Nolan is hot buttered garbage.

 

[Jackcrevol]

When younger? I had a very strong arm. All of 25 years. How I wasn't recruited as a QB is beyond me. Now? Maybe 20?

I know exactly why I wasnt recruited.

never played 1 down of football.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Original was my favorite.

What's the sad part? That college athletes are getting paid for the revenue they help bring in?

I did a punt pass kick with a bunch of has beens last year. An almost 50 year old, whose name you would know, threw it 50 yards. There wasn't a lot of velocity on it but it just hung and floated down. Guys with technique and mechanics never lose it.

Now you got me wanting to try and rainbow a 50 yarder.

which is really ****ed up because colleges get paid by donations of fans, and, by ticket sales from fans. players get paid by companies and...fans.

Colleges havent suffered one iota.

We have a great staff that appears to know how to develop players but most of our fans want immediate NFL talent and don't have time for development.

I hope they can develop players. Too early to say definitively if they can truly develop a freshman, that may or may not be a project type player, over 3/4 years. They almost certainly have shown that they know how to get the absolute most of out players. I don't want to just blindly trust a coach, that didn't go well for the last 3 (not that us griping over recruits would do much good), but Heupel has earned my trust for at least 2 years. Heupel was so good that no one hardly even cares that we beat Florida and that's been the game you point to and say it was a good/bad year over the last 10 years depending on the result.

But Mitchell came from the portal correct? Maybe the portal is not all that?

Is maybe a little better bet than high school but a bet nonetheless.

If you cannot appreciate the roster, or lack thereof, he inherited then I really can’t help you. It has absolutely nothing to do with where Tennessee belongs but where Tennessee was. Sports analyst were arguing if we could possibly win 4 games last year!

When did I say I don't appreciate it?

I'm just saying he didn't work a "miracle"

What he did was not a miracle.

I am very much aware of the mess he took over, but it did not take a MIRACLE to bring Tennessee back to being the top 10 program that they had been for literally 100 years.

It's literally not a slight at all to Josh, but he already had talent here, he was gifted with the transfer portal and as many resources as any program in America.

He's done a great job. He's an incredible coach, but we weren't so down we needed a miracle. We did not need intervention from God to be back where we belong.

Anyone seen the new Avatar?

NFL players can't just go where they want every year. You make a commitment now and there's 0 penalty for breaking it.

 

[Devo182]

and your point is?

Just reflecting on us being better than Bama in this moment and being 1-0 vs Bammer in the new Era of The Vols. No grand "point"

 

[Glitch]

That makes me sick to my stomach.

The irony is they probably pop over here in peak recruiting times...see all the separate threads, negativity, silly questions and endless bickering (all done by FFers) and think it's a shizshow here

Those damned peasants

I thought it was pretty much a hot pile of garbage with a painfully forced plot line.

 

[yourstruly23]

Original was my favorite.

I thought Top Gun 2 would suck and it was pretty awesome. That gives me some hope for this one

Apparently we’re pretty toxic over here .

 

[SweetasSoda]

Honest question, how far could you guys throw a football?

40 yards?


(no Uncle Rico)

I would challenge myself to see if I could get it 10 yards.

Maybe that will discourage them from venturing over here and make our experience all the more enjoyable

He is a bammer, but this is what a leader looks like. I wish him the best and hope he had a successful NFL career.

I can’t help it. I think the world of Young. Strikes me as a special leader.
