So you can get 160 posts by starting a thread basically about veiled speculation with no basis in fact. :blink:

You have to have work ethic,if nothing else.

 

[MaryvilleBammer]

His friend and former teammate Askew?
Correct. He and Vol fans. And that is all. More importantly, look at where those rumors aren't coming from... the QB himself and the recruiting experts. You know, the ones that do it for a living.

i mean their has to be something for all these WR's commiting...i mean why would they commit here if they thought we still havint got a QB lined up...

I bet it is a possible commitment from Riley today.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Let's just say for a second that this does turn out to be about Sims. How long until Bammer starts screaming about violations that the staff made in getting him to UT?

Why on earth would a recruit already committed, publicly say he is thinking about changing schools? He wouldn't unless he changed schools. Him telling Askew on the other hand makes sense.

You're right. So I am done

They got way to many skeleton's in their closet to start that battle.

What a tease... I'm starting football's equivalent to "Blue Balls"

 

[utvolmaniac]

Lets see,

1. The legs are growing - is that a WR?
2. Heard prior rumblings that something big would happen come September.
3. Announcement date is 9/2.

All adds up to Prater.

The Legs are Growing could be a reference to a "rumor". That could lend credence to Phillip Sims...who, however, says he's solid to Bammer. Hmmmm.

Actually, I think it will be a RB with the comment about legs growing...with no idea who it might be.

Anyone else want to guess?

Easy, it's that tall QB. I believe his name is Bray.

 

[ck250]

I'm a little concerned about this bray kid, I mean yeah he looks like he has talent but he may be a little to gangsta for my taste. I know of course that a lot of the kids are but this kid is white as snow and posted his race as black/african decent on his myspace page along with a lot of other questionable stuff, of course maybe this staff could help with his identity crisis.

I don't get it haha. The legs are growing?

And when might this news be coming?

Rumors have legs? He's talking about the big fish rumor.

 

[eburton]

Why even post this thread? All it leads to is speculation. Why don't you wait until you have some actual news to report to post this?

It's fun.

 

[Lord Vader]

just look at who those rumors are coming from.

Yea, let's look at who those rumors came from...

Sims' ex-teammate Jerod Askew...
A guy in the Bama athletic department...
Matt Prehm (maybe) who is a writer for CrimsonConfidential...

You are not helping your argument...

 

[dembewbs]

+1

 

[head1]

Isnt Luc supposed to be committing sometime soon?

 

[jmva1]

By saying legs, I assume he is referring to a rumor. By saying the legs are growing, i assume he means a rumor, is gaining more momentum. Since Matt also writes for an Alabama site (as well as an Oregon site), and while i'm not saying Matt's sources are limited to those two teams, but if something was to happen at, say, Bama, Matt would be one of the first people to know. It could be one of three things in my mind:

1. A Dietrich Riley silent commitment

2. Phillip Sims possibly opening up his recruitment to Tennessee

3. Keiwone Malone opening up his recruitment to Tennessee

Personally I think it either #2 or 3.

Just my take on things.

The VN Staff Writer works for bamers?

 

[Knox9552]

This thread title is just awkward.

 

[Glutton]

he is like a freelance writer. he writes for us, alabama, and oregon.

 

[Sabanocchio]

It's obvious that he's talking about a rumor and the only one we've had lately that would be relevant is the "big fish" rumor. I doubt it has anything to do with Sims, but stranger things have definitely happened. I do think he's referring to a QB.

And we shouldn't take it for granted either. He has done an excellent job so I am guessing it won't last forever.... or even long for that matter.
