Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

What happened to Cooper?
how long will the hernia issue have him out?

I wonder if its something that can be easily corrected with surgery and about 3-4 weeks recovery?

Respect and feeling is mutual.

Josephs is huge

Milton has trimmed down. I bet he's a bit shiftier in the pocket.

Any nugs from the scrimmage today?

 

[SoilVol]

Practice reports are hilarious.

Guy 1: X wasn't at practice today.
Guy 2: X had a great practice today.

Guy 1: Y looked great throwing the ball. Very accurate. Z had a single drop... not a good sign and might lose his scholarship now.
Guy 2: Y was up and down throwing. Had good throws and bad throws. Z has amazing hands and almost reeled in a tough ball off the mark.

Bonus: Folks in the FF talking about Okoye learning how to catch a football. I've seen comments about "just move him to defense he can't catch" "a TE that can't catch" etc. He's still learning the game. Get him on the jugs machine 3 times a day and have him carry a ball around campus. You can learn to catch a dang ball lmao

So according to the practice reports this week, we are either starting Lane at C and Karvic at LG, or Lane at LG and Nichols at C

Probably Nichols at C

 

[JCVol00]

Probably Nichols at C

Would make most sense imo, he will likely take over next year regardless so might as well get him the experience while Mays is out

Which players have lost their black stripe?

 

[GRRN7MAXIMS]

No reason to overpay unless its an almost guaranteed stud like Nico

I have a question for everyone and @KingNico @MetalVolunteer , I would like your two cents please. Who are top 5 in the 24 class that is being overvalued in recruiting for NIL and overpaying and also reverse the question and name a top 5 of recruits where you feel the return on investment should/could/would be worth it if they have a healthy college career. For example. Okoye is a top player in the class but what is his price tag and is it worth it in your opinion versus taking let’s say Braylon Staley for far less monetary resources than what it will take Wingo to land in this class. Basically Boom or bust top 5 for Return on investment for the 24 class.

Yesterday, Schumpert reported that Michael Bittner had the catch of the day with a 1 handed snag. Then Patrick Brown reported that the catch of the day went to VT transfer Cody Duncan with a 1 handed snag in the end zone.

It's Schrodinger's Catch of the Day

I mean, its his money to do as he sees. I dont see the problem other than he's a total **** stick.

 

[jpope9]

[Jackcrevol]

Will, (clears throat), I think I speak - at least for any Vol fan over 40. That, from the highest peak I would shout to thee...go **** yourself.

I agree. Can't wait to see him ball out this year.

It was ALLEGED….I should have said alleged in fairness to the man, to have happened between the 97-98 season. The internet wasn’t what it is now. I first heard about it around 2002. If I get a chance with work today I’ll look and see if the story I saw is still up.

You stated it as FACT.

So I didn’t say he was a good leader of men. I said he was a far more ethical leader than Jones or Fulmer. How soon we forget that meeting at the Chapman Hwy Shoneys where Fulmer pressured a girls mom to change her story about being raped. So please don’t put words in my mouth. Or I might want to vomit.
