'26 TN OT Gabriel Osenda (Tennessee commit)

[butchna]

I can’t really say more than I have so people can either believe me or don’t. My last post on the topic- there was a lot that went on behind the scenes that got us to this point with Gabe Osenda.

I do this for fun, which trying to prove myself isn’t. I’ll be back at some point I’m sure.

Brat done lied on you.

What if you present everything you post as “fact”?

Poster in question POSTED it. No interpretation required.

Remember any 5 stars landed on his watch? Drew Richmond the closest. Trey Smith was Walt Wells.

I don’t have fond memories of Don Mahoney, dating back to very early in his time.

Pretty sure you even disowned him in the end.

But you seem to want people to do so without asking about the info or apparent contradictions in the info? Looks like when someone tries to do just that, you get bent out of shape and seem to think that there needs to be a board vote to allow them to do so.

Still up to the reader to correctly assess it.

Everything posted on here from the inside is essentially hearsay - with varying degrees of confidence assigned due to multiple variables.

Let me simplify it for you - it’s all hearsay.

Some hearsay is better than other hearsay.

Stop trying to suss out facts on an anonymous internet message board - it’s a fool’s errand.

Like any coach, I gave him a blank slate. He started squiggling outside the lines well before “the end”. This message board is WAY too quick on the draw with narratives. They had Golesh as irreplaceable seconds into the thread where he took the USF job. Maybe that ends up correct but it’s debatable. Ellarbee is no sacred cow but we’ve done this movie with Jancek and Dave Lawson. Best thing with their Vol legacy? Them being gone! He’d land another gig in a nanosecond and same yahoos urinating will be the first ones sucking it back in…VN SCIENCE.

No.

Some hearsay is better than other hearsay. Until apparent internal contradictions are explained, it's easier to judge which hearsay is bad hearsay.

But to the underlined. Again, no.

You carry on and I will as well.

Once again: “This isn’t an OPINION!”

No room for interpretation. So you either buy it 100% (like a sunshine pumper gets accused of defending a coach) or you question how valid it is. Some dudes play both sides and act like they’re Switzerland.

Damn, folks did the same thing to ATL. Shame shame

Always felt that ATL and king are the same person.

Lol, keep up the good work deputy Fife. An entire message board’s search for the truth depends on you.

His younger self was less cocky.

It's the reader's responsibility to assess it, but we should stop trying to assess it because it's foolish to try to assess it.

What are you even yelling about right now? What specifically “isn’t an opinion”?

 

[volfan2022]

I've heard Elarbee didn't want to take Osenda originally, which I assume is what the poster was referring to.

Oh I see why you appear so hopelessly confused now.

Read this again, slowly. And if you’re still confused - I’ll explain it to you.

That’s a QUOTE. Emphasized…not YELLED.







But you know that.

Then he managed to sell it like he did. Quite boss for a lazy recruiter.

This is true. Some kids do just want to come to Tennessee.

I can read just fine. I generally assess what is likely (as you said) rumor , hearsay and gossip, as well as what hearsay is better than others, by asking for clarifications and trying to defeat internal contradictions.

Why are you so angry?

Even tho HE said Ellarbee was a major factor…with “relationship” and shizz.

So, the odd thing to me was that it was stated as fact, doubled down as not opinion, then stated as merely passing along the 'sentiments' of others--which is literally just another way of saying that it's just passing along the opinions of others. Point that out and people leave the board while others get mad as ****.

Another strange thing is that we're being told not to look for facts on the board, but people are going apoplectic because they are afraid that they won't be getting a certain poster's (apparent) non-facts anymore.

It is strange, to say the least.

To him all-caps is shouting. Underlining is King’s English.
