Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[InVOLuntary]

I don’t know…don’t think it was ever officially announced. You think he would’ve let him skate if he had FAILED the drug tests due to cannabis?

I have no idea and was just trying to remember.

I have an idea…Majors didn’t play around!

Any chance you can scrap Naples and go to Venice instead. Venice is awesome.

take it to the baller thread, please.

Correct. And even into his seventies, he had whiskey on his breath. I remember him coming into the store in TC, and would always ONLY talk to one blonde. Sometimes people just dont need smart phones. I loved Johnny, was very personable. But when he came in, folks scattered.

He and Bruce were and are people persons. Fulmer would wait in the car outside and wouldnt talk to plebes.

My nephew runs a travel center in Crossville and had a different experience with Fulmer. Said he was down to earth and friendly. But heard similar stories about Johnny. It was said he blew the recruitment of Brent Collins by showing up for the home visit likkered up.

I agree with the Amalfi coast but would also like to add that Cinque Terre and Sienna were my two favorites from my trip to Italy.

Yes, Siena was amazing! Drove right through that tiny town like Clark Griswold waving at people like an idiot. There is a really cool winery called La Lastra right outside the town worth going to as they make you homemade pasta and desert for lunch.

Would you take these places over Sicily? With everyone’s say about Naples. We have thought about flying into Sicily now then fly to rome and rent a car for rest of trip.

 

[Volsdeep4]

Split is supposed to be really nice as well.

That was one of the places we talked about, staying more on coastline than going inland

Yes Naples is gone already haha. Honestly I never even thought of Venice. That’s silly of me. Thank you

I wasnt shaming Fulmer, if anything to the contrary. Who would want to walk into a busy cell phone store? If anything, I completely appreciate it. Majors and Pearl were the narcissists needing all star attention to feed their egos.

Stephen Strasburg hit the lottery retiring because of arm issues and still getting paid contract thru 2029.... Moral to story he retired and still will get paid every year of contract...Bobby Bonilla says hello...

You saying Bruce Pearl has an ego???

If you don’t place a bet (for whatever reason)…what’s the infraction? I “draw the line” on what actually HAPPENED. And throwing a bat is a physical ACT…it’s not mulling it over.

And you’re lumping a LOT of players together by saying they ALL did it. Maddux set records and was never implicated and never reached 90 on the radar gun. Griffey had a natural career arc…he didn’t get BETTER as he approached 35. Throwing an asterisk is coward sauce.

You’re coward sauce….

Says something when a guy, who lived in a Country with snakes that have very little response rates to venom, is scared.

Rattlers arent near as poisonous as taipan, browns, kraits. But most notable, Death Adders.

You don't know danger until you meet the Death Multipliers. Shiver...

Not all schools. Mine has never had anything but an A and took all honor and AP I’m core subjects but no one can have higher than a 4.0. Some schools do the weighted and others do not.

UT rescores all transcripts to their own weighted scale just because different schools do it differently.

But the bottom line is AP > Honors > normal classes…

When John Majors came to Atlanta on recruiting trips, we would visit a lot of recruits and he was never "likkened up" when we made those visits. He always was greatly respected by the parents of the recruits and most were eager for their sons to play for him. He signed a bunch of very good football players from Georgia and built his teams with a lot of Georgia players. I realized that fans can no longer assist in recruiting players, but he was still a very skilled recruiter.

Looks good, but they no longer have running water.
