Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

That changes the game. Sounds like a(n attempted) protection of the individual's (supposed) rights at the state legislative/constitution level, verses the rights of an organization to define their own standards of membership.

I doubt the NCAA will challenge that law, but would there be a case for "we're not telling them that they can't make $$$ off their NIL, just that the university can't pay/facilitate the payments of NIL"...?

Whose rights are actually infringed with this law? Does an athlete actually have the right to play in the NCAA? Does a member institution have the right to pay/facilitate NIL as a recruiting enticement? Or does an organization have the right to set limits on who can join their org, both at the individual and school level?

I am all for NIL. At first glance, I am REALLY against this law.

Tennessee will look to get Tylen Singleton, Aydin Breland, Ryan Wingo, Chris Cole and Brandon Baker back to campus during the open week as we mentioned in the last War Room. Trust me, if guys that were expected to announce something by the end of the month at some point have not, Tennnessee will be doing their best to get them back in town, too.

We got the opportunity to hike Alum Cave during the government "shutdown." It was awesome only two other couples at the overhang at the top.

I got up there just after sunrise. When I finally made it to the bluff there was already a few people there, but they weren't hanging out long. Great hike.

I think Alum Cave is the best route to Le Conte.

Phil Steele was on Josh and Swain and said Tennessee is THE challenger to Georgia in the East. He said he could easily see them getting to double-digit wins again because of the talent at WR, RB, and an improving defense. The only two games he has the Vols as an underdog are Bama and UGA, and identified the other 3 games to watch as Florida, Kentucky, and A&M.

Well duh

Please let us know how the courses are. By the time I post this, you will have already played.

Tennessee will be well on their way to

15-0

I’ve narrowed it down to 2. Think I’m going to play Haymaker but need to call and check on their club rentals situation. I don’t feel like bringing or shipping mine. Most courses have decent ones though so should be fine.

Why do I feel like he is referring to Mike Matthews here

Because you’re paranoid. Could mean Jefferson, Warren, Franklin, or the other 10 guys scheduled for late summer decisions

More about Amari Jefferson in my opinion.. there’s a chance he visits us and Bama again at the end of the month

I probably am, BVS kicks in right around now

Little man is doing awesome, thank you for asking. Glad all of the crazy health scares have stayed away recently. He’s walking and creating maximum chaos lol

Is your son, 'Neyland?'

If so, I'd been trying to find an update. So glad he's doing well.

As he should be

What is the water like? I've use to big deep open river in west tn. I've been told some parts are very tricky over there

There's a shipping channel from Loudoun to Neyland. I wouldn't go past the Forks unless you're in a small boat. Just keep it between the bouys.

@Enki_Amenra, you need to talk to Sally about the quality of her umpiring.

Sally is off the rails today, she needs her lithium. . . she's lost her mind!

I did the breakdown of the 2021 class the other day. What a doozy.

But here's the 2022 class so far:
18 recuits have stayed from the high school class.
5 have been dismissed or transferred - Tayven Jackson (P5), Justin Williams-Thomas (P5), Cam Miller (G5), Jordan Phillips (P5), Savion Herring (Dismissed) far better destinations than the 2021 class.

Of transfers:
1 dismissed/transferred - Lyn-J Dixon (Paxton Brooks' son)
7 are still Vols - Bru, Turrentine, Walker, Hannah, Browder, Shuler, Mincey. 4/7 are contributers.

Obviously more attrition is expected each year. Some of these guys will move on next year as they get recruited over but I don't see it to the point of that 2021 class.

Also, Heupel seems to take about 8 transfers a year. 21 - 10, 22 - 8, 23 - 8.

Hoping we have one of the most lenient NIL laws around. Love seeing the states stick it to the NCAA

No sir, my son is Parker. Had some health scares in May but he’s doing really well now. We are thankful.

Yeah, I think so. Probably the most scenic anyway.
