Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[volbeast33]

Glancing at the Gamecocks board and they’re raking Montario Hardesty…and all the other assistants. I remember second and third guessing Heupel for hiring Mack over him.

They have been pissed at his recruiting for awhile now.

Unless Milton is perfect, people will complain. That throw that Keyton dropped had every NFL franchise drooling. I have no doubt Milton will be successful here, and at the next level.

In defense, the long throw into the endzone was flat. If he'd put some touch under that and led the receiver to the back of the endzone, it would have been a touchdown.

But that's the thing about the deep ball. They aren't supposed to be a high percentage ball.

And people seem to have romanticized Hooker. Again... He had periods that he was just plain flat and inaccurate. But this offense is good enough that QBs don't have to be perfect to put up huge stats and a lot of points.

i looked that up the other day. CBS had contract thru 2023 as far as I can tell

ESPN-SEC deal finally official, will go into effect in 2024

About a year after the news was first reported, ESPN has officially acquired the SEC television package currently held by CBS.

Their OL coach should be taking the majority of the criticism. Swiss cheese mania!

Those OT commits should take heed.

Definitely—he wasn’t perfect. And you’re right that people seem to forget Hooker’s struggles at times.
One thing about Milton is he really opens up the field with his ability to hit a receiver anywhere. That’s only going to help our running game be all the more devastating.

 

[SweetasSoda]

That was a small snippet of what he said….. he said he took personal responsibility for the loss two or three times…. Fans are nitpicking and mad bc they lost.

He said they were going to beat FS then they looked unprepared physically in the 2nd half, and coaches were out coached. Then he made another stupid comment. Then the fans that were mad because of how they lost after being assured of a win jumped on. Yeah!!

 

[VolNash17]

The only thing that worries me is the dang punter. Good lord… sheesh. Got to clean that up. Joe played ok for first game. Real test will be Vs Florida night game. Punter has got to be better or that’ll cost Tennessee a game or two

 

[VolGee4]

Just look at week 1 and 2, CBS game is big 10.

There aren’t SEC conference games in the first two weeks. They usually show Pac 12 or Mountain West games the first 2 weeks, but maybe they are warming up with Big 10 this year. But CBS is showing a full SEC schedule this year.

 

[knoxvol52]

Cedric Tillman and Jalin Hyatt were great at Tennessee but this years group of receivers are better than last .... Bru and Squirrel with a year in program and with the addition of Thornton makes this group more dangerous as a receiving group.... Plus Keyton improvement also.... Thornton is a 1st round draft pick with his size and speed ......

 

[marcusluvsvols]

This is the last season CBS is contracted with the SEC, so CBS will still have its pick of the top game each week. next season is when we will go to having the top sec matchup on ABC Primetime

So next season we will FINALLY be able to quit muting the game as not to listen to Gary and Verne kissing bama/gator butt for 3 hours straight??? Yayyyy!!!

Also, there will be a 12 team playoff that CJH coached VOLS should make more years than they miss?

What a GREAT TIME to be a VFL!!! Having weathered 20 years of heartbreak. Thank you Lord. Wish my Pappaw and Dad had not died in the last 5 years before they got a chance to see our resurgence...miss them both.

His songs are woven throughout the memories of my life at times and in ways i didn't notice at the time…

Wifey got sentimental about it. I was reading about it for the first time here when I heard his music turn on in the house. She sings very well too, so I didn't mind the duet.

 

[Clevegasvol]

How dare you pick that poster apart with your response. You ain't nothing but a pumper.

 

[MarcoVol]

Listen to Deion talk then go listen to Condredge Holloway talk. They are not the same. One exemplifies the unbridled degeneracy of today. Wonder which one that is?

Wtf does Deion Sanders have to do with Condredge Holloway? What a stupid comparison.

 

[VolNash17]

Nico looked really good in his limited action. I’m so excited for him. He’ll take over easily with quite a bit more talent than Hooker or Milton. He’s a bit more talented than both of them himself. Can’t wait

 

[Orange.]

I’d be fine if Nebraska stays irrelevant

That where I'm at.

Feel the same way about FSU. I have never like them. If it hurts the Gayts, I'm ok with that.

 

[Weezer]

I assume you had an issue with Orgeron as well? Mike Gundy has a pretty thick Southern accent and lingo, oh also a mullet. That's beneath the position of head coach at a major institution right?

Deion grew up in the projects in Fort Myers in a broken home. His friends sold drugs and joined gangs while he played sports.

Condredge grew up with both parents, his mom worked at the NASA flight center in Huntsville and they prioritized education. He came to TN because his mom wanted him to get a degree instead of go to the MLB.

Language has more to do with where you come from than your intelligence level or capabilities. Those two men grew up in different places, different times, and difference cirmcumstances. They aren't a good comparison at all. The only think they have in common is their skin color.

I'm curious, do you talk the same around friends as you do when, say, giving a speech, or talking for business? I'm just curious because I know I don't. How I speak depends on my audience. But maybe that's just a me thing. And I'm not downing Deion, because honestly, I don't care how he speaks. I'm just suggesting he talks the way he does because of where he's from is a little disingenuous. That's entirely true if he's talking to friends, but he hasn't gotten to where he is without knowing how to speak professionally. Deion has carefully cultivated his image over the years. The guy is smart. He speaks the way he speaks because it's part of his image. It's how he relates to his players and recruits and projects himself as "one of them". And that's not bad. At least not if it works for him. JMO

On Saturday, Milton was the "Artful Immarunyoassover"

I absolutely loved that!

Tony Elliott had a similaresque statement “Just competing today was a victory.” I know with the tragedy that he gets a pass, but it could be worded different and convey the same message imo.

 

[Orange.]

Also, I hear that as a communist, @Jackcrevol does not like biscuits.

He's a big fan of blini and borscht, and keeps his vodka on the exterior window sill.

 

[Orange.]

So this weekend we;re supposed to host LB Chris Cole, right? And he's set to commit somewhere, hopefully here, on Sunday?

This would be huge. Go Vols!

 

[VolNash17]

Milton will lead a boom or bust type of offense
8/26 on third downs vs Clemson and Virginia. Probably need a bit more Vs Bama and Georgia but we’ll see

 

[Orange.]

The classic is the best. But this one is also , along with the black mamba.

I agree with you but I don't think its disingenuous to say that his lingo is "him." If he were to speak like Coloradans, that would be no different than Brian Kelly's fake Southern accent.

I get what you're saying about adjusting your language to your audience, and I do that too sometimes. It depends on the situation. Deion may have a different perspective on when its appropriate to do that or not. Is it really necessary to do on the field after a big win, in the locker room, or at the postgame press conference? I don't think so tbh. If he was giving a formal speech I would expect it but I don't know if he does/has/would. (Shoot, I remember us hand-wringing over the constant, fake politician-talk from Butch.) I don't think the poster is referring to Deion talking informally at a banquet, I think the poster has a problem with his ebonics - and that's specifically why he compared Condredge's lack of ebonics.
