I mentioned this name in another thread and it got me wondering what happened to him/where did he end up. Looking like he didn't go anywhere?

Adarius Redmond at Powell Recruit Rank History (247sports.com)

Look at his ranking in spring of 2021 compared to just a little over a year later. The bottom fell out on this kid. I can't say I can recall a recruit plummeting so far in such a short period of time.


edit: I do remember a couple of 2020 kids from Florida who committed to us pretty much out of the blue back in, I want to say 2020. One was a running back and the other a receiver. Both were ranked as almost 5 stars at the time they commtted IIRC. The receiver eventually came down but ultimately ended up at UF before transfering out but the running back ended up being ranked as a 74 overall on 247 and never went anywhere.

These are the two.... I want to go back and check out there threads on here. I bet they're funny as hell to reflect on

I bought a 96 Accord 18 years ago for $1K, it was a junker. I told my wife I wouldn't get another vehicle until that car died. 12 years and 280K miles later the transmission dropped out and she gave up the ghost. Sold it for $400 to a guys wanting to sell the parts off of it and never looked back. Now there will always be Honda in my driveway. We currently have a 22 Pilot, a 14 Accord and a 05 Civic gracing our driveway and I'm looking to add a CRV to my collection.

Had one in the driveway for all but a couple years since our first, a 1991 Accord. Daughter used our '99 Accord as a beater to learn with and followed it up with a new CRV. I have a '20 Ridgeline now.

Lack of discipline will do that to you.

Laughing at you guys going to have your kids drive the oldster car reminded me of my first car. It was a Kingsport Power Company car they were tired of working on. My dad thought it would be a great car for me to drive my senior year of high school, circa 81-82. I give you the 1976 Plymouth Volare. My friends called it the "FBI Car".

They say Porches are really fun cars to own. You can daily drive them and their performance is lights out. Most people I know who've owned/own one would never pick a different sports car in that price range. . . some would choose a 911 over any vehicle, no matter the price of either car.

I have a buddy who's in a group called "MVading the Dragon", its mostly BMW's, but several Porches show up to their drives. You may want to check them out on facebook, if you like stuff like that. . .

I'm assuming the Porch is the redneck version of a Porsche.

Thanks! Looking forward to doing some of those drives. Keeping my e350 as my daily driver, but definitely will enjoy breaking out the Porsche on weekends.

Go Vols, seriously I rarely watch replays of games unless I missed the game. To me watching replays is liking eating last night's Meatloaf for lunch it's good but not as filling!!!😏😏😏

I was just flipping around. Not much was on. I watched the last 5 minutes. Yes, I know what you mean but I did watch the replay a couple times right after the victory but now it’s just a good memory. I did watch the 4th quarter of the replay of Tenn-Bama on Wednesday. I watched that one 2 or 3 times for the next month after it was over.😆

So, laying our body on the alter of "please don't hurt us"... or, If you try to hurt us and break our laws, we'll drag your ass to court where you always lose.

I see it as further proof that cooperating with the NCAA doesn't really get you anything. Threatening with lawsuits is the key.
