Recruiting Forum Football Talk XVIII

And then you realize there is zero RB depth. Atleast for now.

Someone will step up and be a viable option for the third spot. Not sure how much they will be needed though.

 

[jave36]

Miller will be an upgrade simply because all of the Bama QB's have looked like hot slaw so far. Barnett has the highest upside but Saban is not about to hand over the reigns to a true freshman.

I will say that I do not think Miller will be as good at Alabama as he was at Ohio St. He is not a pro style QB whatsoever. At least Sims had a few years of learning the system and holding a clipboard before he got out there. Saban is getting desperate imo and I like it.

Where is Cornwell or whoever that guy was we almost landed?

 

[volatil]

I can't believe somebody -- anybody -- didn't step up to help the coach. Surely there were students or teachers in the vicinity.

Behind closed door. Students heard it and helped immediately

Still thinking Paulk is back in the summer

Hasn't lived up to the billing

 

[HialeahGator]

Treadwell is a possession guy. Sutton ate him alive as well. Noil is impressive.

Wouldn't say he's a possession guy. Before the season ending injury he was on pace for 1000 yard 10TD season. LT isnt Cooper elite but he was a deep threat.

 

[Aesius]

I read that he was really coming along during their spring practices.

 

[eazyTD]

He's been Coker's main competition this spring. Bama's QB situation is a mess right now

OB79, I will be praying for you over the next week and then some. Just 10 months ago, my wife and I had to leave our daughter in the NICU at St. Thomas Midtown. Walking out of that hospital to come home was the hardest and most unnatural thing I've done as a parent. I'm not ashamed to say we came home and cried the ugly cry in her nursery.

It amounted to a short stay by comparable NICU standards (8 days), but felt like it lasted 5 times longer. It felt like every morning as we drove to the hospital the song "Broken Hallelujah" came on. Even now, I almost break down every time I hear it. Somehow, these lyrics fit so well:

"With nothing left to hold on to,
But raise these empty hands to you,
Here's my broken hallelujah."

We had our older daughter, but not having our newborn baby with us was such an empty feeling. We were literally lifting our empty hands to God and praising Him. Through it all, God sustained us and we now our sweet baby girl is a distant memory from the one hooked up to every tube imaginable.

I know these two promises will hold true: God will carry you through this time and He will use it for His glory. I can't even imagine adding surgery on top of it all, but my prayer is for you to look back at every birthday she has and be amazed at the life God has breathed into your sweet baby girl. For now, may God bless you and sustain you through this storm.

Anyone still up watching the Preds?

Anyone still up watching the Preds?

Not anymore.

 

[volatil]

Not anymore.

Well that sucks. Can't win without Weber

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Seems like a "turn the other cheek" moment for someone in your position.

But maybe I misunderstand exactly how all that works.

A fair enough critique, so I will clarify position, just to be clear.

I personally take a position of non-violence, to a degree that most would probably define as excessive, but according to teachings of Jesus, that is the call I make.

When referring to "us", I am identifying myself with my former team, most of whom would have gone after the accuser at the drop of a hat. I have never hit someone in anger, nor do I condone it, but I do find it surprising that no one else took matters into their own hands.

Just my opinion. Hopefully that clears it up, though I'm sure some will still take exception :hi:

I watched Sutton and the LSU CBs dominate him. I'm not a huge Treadwell fan though. He's Michael Crabtree 2.0 at best.

I'm living this scenario right now, in almost every single way...and now someone's chopping onions. I'm not ashamed ay all to say I broke down walking out of the PCICU yesterday, as you said it felt like the most unnatural thing I've ever done as a parent. However, once we got home we knew we'd made the right decision. Our other two girls were so happy to see us, especially mommy (since she hadn't been home but 24 hours since Thursday when we had Ashlee). Returning to somewhat of a normal routine helped.

My wife and I have a very strong faith and no matter what, God will get the glory from us, He's already done so much for us well before we even came into existence.

Thank you for this, sir.

Be strong ob. It's times like these that help us place things into perspective. I mean we all live and breath the Vols but they and other things that occupy our daily lives are very insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I realize the next week will seem like an eternity but really it is insignificant compared to the years of joy that you'll share with your new daughter.

Rest easy knowing that He has this and is working his miracles through the doctor's hands. Praying for you all.

Lol, Mauk ahead of Dobbs is like throwing poo in Dobbs' face.

If you really felt like Sutton was that good of a player his "lack of" flashy plays and big hits would not be an issue with you because opposing teams go away from him. It's quite clear to most people on here that you like to argue (or debate) to hear your head roar. As you get older hopefully you will learn how to control that desire to needlessly argue with others. It would do you good sometimes to just log off and go sit on the front porch and drink a nice cold sarsaparilla. It would be good for the rest of us too.

Yeah then again valuing what people think on a forum would be quite silly amirite? there's no issue here, argument was never on ability. People like you who care ab Internet rep like to chime in after reading the latter posts. Imo jmo ...

I have a friend that's a Missouri fan and he said their offense looked horrible in their spring game, including Mauk.

I personally take a position of non-violence, to a degree that most would probably define as excessive, but according to teachings of Jesus, that is the call I make.

When referring to "us", I am identifying myself with my former team, most of whom would have gone after the accuser at the drop of a hat. I have never hit someone in anger, nor do I condone it, but I do find it surprising that no one else took matters into their own hands.

Just my opinion. Hopefully that clears it up, though I'm sure some will still take exception :hi:

So could you hold that individual for others to hit while you are turning your other cheek?
More of a philosophical conundrum?

(Not bashing you at all Nick, just trying to make a funny)

:hi:

Only way you can consider Mauk to be a "dual" threat is if you consider that he's a threat to both himself and those around him.

There is also a pretty obvious distinction between a slap or physical insult and beating someone half to death. There is clearly room in Jesus' teaching for defending yourself or others, He merely warned that those who engage in violence tend to die that way. His followers had a least one sword, and presumably didn't run out to the local sword shop the night of the ear incident.

 

[LittleVol]

He's playing boundary corner this yr.

A team like Sea or Atl will take him at cb.

He would match very well with Sherman. And the rest of the Legion of Boom.

So would Sutton.
