Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[MattR11]

Apparently Mike Leach didn’t make it. Truly a sad deal.

I've only seen where Bill Snyder said this, hoping he is mistaken. I have not seen anyone confirm he has passed.

Edit: Bill Snyder walked back the tweet. His tweet was premature.

Snyder posted a retraction:

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I gotcha man, but we’re losing

Wright
Tillman
Hyatt
Banks
Bumphus
Flowers
Fant
likely Warren
Carvin
Hooker

Thats a lot of gaps to fill not to mention the major help at DB we need

I get what you’re saying but to be fair atleast 3 of these don’t matter at all


He will fill the gaps. Same things were being said last yr and the yr before with Heup’s teams.

 

[GVol1966]

Only the idiots. Any reasonable person can see we're without our Heisman QB and Clemson finally moved on to their better QB.

Would be far more telling of the commentator than anything to do with Heupel.

that is for sure but he’s had some freshman moments in the limited action he saw prior to the UNC game. Hopefully he has a few against us.

 

[bullet20]

Oh yeah, love that boat.

Im late to the boat talk but my step dad had one of these 47 harbormasters and it was a great boat same engines and all easy to manuver and great cruising boats

 

[SugarCC]

Something that rivals free solo.

 

[pierce60]

Damn Kyler Murray with the Hendon Hooker looking injury

 

[gainesvol82]

Yikes

Not good at all but I am personally going to hold off on forming much of an opinion. I have been in a toxic relationship where the female was very, very aggressive and completely downplayed how she acted while still admitting to some wrongdoing. Many good man have been in these situations and did not handle things well....doesn't make them bad people but it does call into question their judgment and actions in the situation. I don't condone any violence he committed but I am also not going to immediately believe her story without physical or eyewitness evidence. I know that in my relationship I would often try to get away from altercations and that would make her pursue a violent outcome even harder. I only gave in briefly on the two occasions previously mentioned while allowing at times to let her to tee off punching me in the face repeatedly. Some women take advantage of knowing when a man won't get violent with them.

That said....Texas has to suspend him pending investigation. Has he ever had any allegations like this in the past?

I mean I’m not saying anything except I hope we’re going to do well in the portal…

+ you're funny as hell.

Yes, that's true. I am also incredibly humble.

I was hoping we were going after Tony Grimes, but I have no idea if we've actually expressed interest or not.

If you (not you, gainesvol82) have not been there, you wouldn't understand. The problem with the whole, "Never, ever hit a woman!!!" thinking is that women are human too, and they (not all women) pick up on this. Then, they feel they are free to do ANYTHING. That is not a good thing.

Don't get me wrong. I do not believe in hitting women, but it is ridiculous to just be a punching bag (literal and otherwise).

Having said all that, I agree, folks need to see the whole story before judging. Some situations get ridiculously bad, when women think they are untouchable. Not saying I know anything about this particular situation, but self - and family member - defense sometimes override everything else.

I've had people do they opposite of what they preached to me, when put in ridiculous situations.

That’s the frustrating part. There’s no info on what we’re doing. Other teams have mods updating visits, offers, in homes, priority targets, and we got nothing

We were 127 in pass defense, UNC was 121. We sure we want any of their guys? Seems like a push.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Not about worrying. It’s about needing to fill gaps and upgrade the talent on our defense

What makes you think we won’t?

 

[Weezer]

Yes, that's true. I am also incredibly humble.

Did you know that notification hoarding is caused by the insecurity of needing the validation of others to have a sense of self-worth?

 

[Weezer]

That’s the frustrating part. There’s no info on what we’re doing. Other teams have mods updating visits, offers, in homes, priority targets, and we got nothing

I wonder if our staff is just tight-lipped about who they are pursuing and not sharing that info with guys like Hubbs and AP? Surely we are chasing more players than have been mentioned

 

[VolNash17]

Agreed. I see other teams getting updates on all sorts of targets and for the Vols I don’t see much of anything target wise and interest

 

[Glitch]

My family could use some prayers for peace and comfort. My wife's grandmother is 96 and has been in a nursing home for several months now. They just verified today that she has been having a series of strokes and at least one more serious stroke. They have started her on Morphin, so not sure how much longer she has. This is my wife's last remaining grandparent and it is hitting her pretty hard.

Relax bass
I’m sure CJH is trying to win football games so he’s going after guys he thinks can help
Maybe CJH wants guys that are good fits also instead of guys searching for a check, you see how that turning out at some other schools

 

[UTMVol76]

I’d say this is definitely the case and has been their MO all along.

 

[itsme]

This is the one QB I would add. I think he’s a phenomenal player and would be a great addition.

Prayers extended for comfort to all in this time

Agreed


Many of our fans just can’t handle it either. I’m cool with it, just bring in the players.
