Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Weezer]

Anyone who actually participates in the sport knows it's dwarf tossing. Not "little person" tossing. Dwarf is not an offensive term. Just don't call them by the M word.

I wouldn't mind a deep dive into why the hell the Titans roster has a D-Day casualty rate for 2 straight years. They're starting backups and practice guys at the end of the season. It's unreal.

 

[BigSteve09]

Momentum here. Probably for the best.

Their models are so damn sharp by the end of the season

I thought they'd be off on Dobbs more, since it's his 2nd game. They were 10yds low on his rushing though. I expect that would change if he played a game next week.

Yeah, it's not really ESD anymore. It's more like they just moved the real signing day back a few months.

Saban must not like it.

I'm not sure how they do it really. I know they have staff that keeps up with it all but now there is so much more to keep up with...High School....Portal....NIL and now re-recruiting your own players in some cases.

I concur. Having signing day during the season is crazy.

We can debate the fumble/forewarn pass, but I hated the call. How about a QB draw or a rollout with one read or tuck and run. Make them use a timeout. Make TL go 80 yards to win it. They would of had about 3 minutes and that’s plenty of time, but make TL do it. I think that’s the smart play. If TL does it, then good for him. Just don’t give the game away.

@peaygolf I have a friend of mine who's daughter played golf for APSU a few years back. Meghan Stamps.

I mean if you’re flunking your classes that’s not being forced to leave…but I don’t trust anything Maurer says on social media.

We do push guys to the curb…. I don’t have an issue with it though.

True, the M word is worse than the D word. But they do prefer little person.
It used to be legal in some places in Georgia and i so loved it and the tossees always made a good bit of money. But the bars had trouble with getting them insurance and had to stop it. I was much better at that than I ever was at darts . Sigh.

Her uncle played baseball for the Vols, Tommy Stamps in the early 80's.

I couldn't tell you to be honest, I know at one time she was going into the medical field but they get to college and........

 

[InVOLuntary]

They should keep the early signing period only for players that are EEs.

Has to be a lot of stress for the coaches. . . trying to concentrate on the season/post-season, public appearances, family, current players, recruiting, etc.

Dobbs might have a chance to stay with the Titans next year in some capacity. I don't think he will be a starter by any means but stranger things have happened. I would like to see him get a real shot somewhere but I doubt that will be with the Titans.

RIP to the KingNico handle.

I'll stay around. Keep an eye for a new expert.

My final request - please donate to the Volunteer Club and Spyre sports. I can't emphasize enough how much every bit helps

Memberships - The Volunteer Club

Maybe the new expert could wink at us….

And all the players that just jumped into the portal.

I watched the game just to cheer for Dobbs. That was painful to watch. Henry up the middle on almost every 1st down. Yeah, Heupel has spoiled me. Kept waiting on a WR to hide behind the line.

 

[BigOrange15]

I may never be able to watch any other football the same way again after watching a Josh Heupel offense every week lol

I told everyone earlier and the gymnastics thread I am okay with us getting a program as long as we can recruit these type of athletes View attachment 529832

Don’t “tell” me jack. I showed a WRITTEN article in Lawrence’s own words stating otherwise. Dazzle me with contradictory evidence…not “I heard this” hearsay.

So I am curious. When are we to believe a high school kid? Because we have seen recruits say oh it’s not about the money or if it was about NIL I would have chosen TN. Now I have seen people say players who say stuff like that are lying. But now we are just to take TL at his word? Interesting.
