Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[SmokinBob]

Good, thought we might not see you again until a new episode of "Snapped".

 

[NMVol]

Really?

I wouldn't joke around about something so serious.

 

[Devo182]

I'm hearing the Singularity is behind schedule.

I've seen predictions of the 2050s. Given the acceleration of tech and AI, I'd say it'll be hard to tell until we are much, much closer.

 

[jakez4ut]

ESPN said legit FF teams out of the SEC are:

Alabama
Arkansas (if fully healthy)
Tennessee

But us and Bama for sure. Just glad to be in the convo. We sure can pull it off. Gotta stay healthy and progress offensively.

We're in that Convo every year nowadays... Good times.

 

[thistime]

Never know how things will turn out on here........

 

[VolGee4]

Kentucky is gonna run Cal off and end up with someone even worse.

Maybe…but even a coach who can’t recruit quite as well but is a better floor coach could win more games. UK almost recruits itself in basketball.

 

[OrangenSC]

I think by mid next week everyone will be quite happy with the work we did in the portal

Everyone? In here? I'm skeptical.

That you're even talking about 2050 shows it's true. I had heard the target date was 2030.

I had the thought earlier, would Cal have the same success recruiting at TX as he would UK? I dont think TX is a bad place, but theyre not blue blood status like UK

2030? I've never heard anything close to that. That would be insane, from a developmental perspective. We're way too far away. Unless that prediction was from decades ago when someone first conceived of it. Ray Kurzweil is basically the one the popularized it and iirc 2045-2055 was what was predicted. I do think tech is usually slower to occur than we expect, so I've figured the latter of his prediction.

We haven't been anywhere close on the software/algorithm side to reach it by 2030. Afaik

But I've only been following it the last 10-15 years... No idea what sort of Jetsons-like predictions were made before that.

Anyone ever see Ex Machina? Great flick.

Also, I wonder if people will be able to identify as robots soon?

He recruited well at Memphis. He’s great at that part but below average in being a floor coach. A good floor coach at UK who has a semblance of salesmanship and personality could win.

Til it aint

 

[jakez4ut]

I'm anxious to see how we play against teams on the back side of our schedule... The shooting right now is unbelievable! Just not common.

Oliver N is 100% the past 2 games... Loco.

I wasn’t joking. I don’t know what the schedule is.

Very good movie.

What good would identifying as a robot do? Tax exempt?

 

[Weezer]

Went out and got a burger. Figured things would be cleaned up by the time I got back. I was right.

Looking into my magic crystal ball...we'll have ups...downs...people will B&M...they'll want to fire Barnes...all while looking just great overall.

Atp if feels like just stay steady...progress where needed and this is a top-2 seed team.

Buddy of mine has a house on Center Hill. He told me one time that although Center Hill doesn’t allow private docks, Alan Jackson decided he was going to do it anyway and just pay the fines that came along with it. Not sure if it’s true but I always remembered that. That’s the epitome of FU money. Lol.

It’s true, and cut down trees. Both a no no

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Wow. Roboshame much? What are you, robophobic?

Terrence McKenna was talking about it years before then.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

When this team shoots the ball well, they are damn near unstoppable paired with that elite defense. Last two games have been brilliant.

 

[NMVol]

I wasn’t joking. I don’t know what the schedule is.

I just hope the timeline holds up when the Vols win the National Championship.

 

[JCP201]

Knock on wood and rat poison, but this VOLS team looks like a champion. Awaka needs more minutes.. I don't want him to even think about a transfer portal.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Walk ons going to play the last ten minutes? Yikes!! Haha
