TN WR Shamar Porter (Kensucky transfer)

[HoleInTheRoof]

Per AP on todays podcast -

Kodi Burns was never that interested in Porter. Heupel has been. It’ll be interested if we pick up our efforts to recruit him now. There are rumors he’s looking around. (He committed before Liam Coen left UK).

 

[Billy Antrim]

Maybe the Wesley Walker commitment helps us here?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Both aren't takes. Nate doesn't stand out

 

[allvolrecruiting]

Tbf he wasn't at the time and recruiting changes all the time. I'm glad we took him because I definitely want Edwin and Nate is solid too

Interesting Heupel didn’t overrule Burns if he liked the kid. Normally HC makes the call but maybe he believes in everyone being on same page and position coach believing in who he will be coaching.

There are different leadership styles but most good leaders will truly respect the input of their subordinate leaders. Heupel may fail as a coach. Circumstances may overwhelm him. Recruiting could be his downfall. But IMO he is a very solid leader and understands how to build a good culture.

Yep. You’re right.
Hurd would have been a two star if he lived in those states…….
Actually, probably not even rated because he would have never made the team. smh….

Saban never gave up all the way to his signing with us. All after camping at Bama. He was the first recruit that Saban really wanted to end up with us imo. That’s why Bamawriter and other Gumps on here were extra salty over his career.

You posted that 5 weeks ago. What has Nate done these past five weeks of an offseason that suddenly made him a take in your opinion? Or could it be that nothing changed and the staff considered him a take the whole time?

Less than a month ago, AP shifted on him too. On January 28th, AP said:

TN isn’t heavily on Nathan imo

On February 10th, he said:

think TN has reevaluated Nate with Combo deal with Edwin.

He visited Arizona with Edwin and decided they wanted to be a package deal

Tell that to my boss? pls

This! There will be 2-3 guys we’ve never heard of that end up in this class by December or February signing days

Unless you can't for some reason... find a new boss. If he/she is older than 30 change is unlikely. Once something "works" for someone... it takes a lot to get them to see better options.

Yeah. People over 30 have lost the capacity to learn new things.

 

[sjt18]

Yeah. People over 30 have lost the capacity to learn new things.

Not what I said. I'm well over 30 btw and have completely changed industries 3 times since 30.

 

[SSVol]

Not what I said. I'm well over 30 btw and have completely changed industries 3 times since 30.

Then clearly for some change is actually common.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Yeah. People over 30 have lost the capacity to learn new things.

People under 30 never will learn what people over 50 already know. See, I can make an irrational statement as well as anyone.

Talking about leadership styles... not other change. That was pretty obvious but you seem to have missed it.

I have been a business leader for 30 years. I have changed significantly over the years, in spite of being too dumb to understand what you were saying.

Check your sarcasm meter. Think it's broken.

Apparently so.

 

[SSVol]

Apparently so.

Sick burn, bro.

 

[sjt18]

Sick burn, bro.

What do you mean? I just agreed with you.
