Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXV

You know, though, to me it's just as irritating to see 78 posts about not liking Bruin's posts. I get tired of him beating stuff into the ground. But I get just as annoyed by the ones that argue back and the ones that feel the need to call him out, like that's going to change anything. I mean, seriously, how much of an inconvenience is it in your life to simply scroll past stuff? You know by the first few words of the post if it's something you're legitimately interested in seeing, or if it's just some more tired drivel. You might not like it, but Bruin is a Vol fan just like the rest of us.

Not a true VFL.

BFL?

Here's Butch on the phone talking to the coach at IMG Academy:

Hey coach. Butch Jones from TN. Congratulations on assembling a great team down there. Just wanted you to know that we have a scholarship offer for every single player on your roster. We will have a coach that lives in Bradenton in the offseason, so he can come visit every single day. Look forward to establishing a pipeline with you that runs from IMG to TN.

Wow! That's rolling.

 

[volfanCLT]

Wow! That's rolling.

He's no small back, either. Weighed in at 219

Henry at 4.54. I think Jalen would run high 4.5s, low 4.6s

I think Hurd will run a comparable or faster time than Henry despite being larger at next year's combine.

I think that's accurate

I hope he's not larger than 247 😬

Larger? Didn't Henry weigh in at 247? If you mean taller, then Hurd may have a half inch on Henry.

I didn't think the skill guys ran until Sat. Have they changed the schedule up?

Edit: apparently RBs are running with the OL/TE now.

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

I think it has more to do with you always assume the worst case scenario. If you would look at the possible more positive outcomes you wouldn't catch as much grief IMO.

I believe the grief comes from the fact that Bruin almost borderline seems to be hoping that the worst is true.

Nothing personal Bruin. It's a chat forum, I have no ill will towards you, just making an observation.

 

[delfonic]

Hurd is at least an inch taller than Henry and I think he'll continue to put on weight over the next 12 calendar months. He's 6'4", 240 on the roster.

 

[volfanCLT]

I don't think Hurd runs faster than Henry.

Don't think Hurd will be higher than 247(!) next year, either.

I actually like Bruin. He is a good poster and brings some good discussion to the board. No doubt he is a passionate vol fan and believes the things he says. You can't fake that.

He just gets on a roll over some nonsensical conjecture and becomes unbearable for a while. I know. I can be the same way.

Bruin needs to just realize when he's going on a tangent sometimes and self regulate. Almost like he needs a code word to hear to let him know when he's off the chain.

Accdg to a tweet, Fort told midday that TN actually could be opening itself up to lawsuits for acting too harshly to allegations such as the Von Pearson case. Sooo wouldn't that be a heck of a headline if that were to happen. What the heck would media do? Start blaming us for treating our athletes too harshly in these cases lol

Betting they won't? :w00t:

I like Bruin and am glad he's back. Most of the time he's great to have around. He simply becomes obsessive sometimes and when he does he often can't see the forest for the trees (that he himself sometimes creates). Can happen to me at times - just not about vol-related things. He may also have a little bit of a perception problem: he doesn't seem good at judging how his actions might be perceived.

All said, a lot of people on here bring out the worst in him. I blame them just as much, if not more.
