Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXII

So what have I missed in the last month? Sky still falling?

Been walking off 30 days at county for partying too hard. Yolo.

Kongbo needs to be at DE imo. He is so fast and explosive. He and Phillips on the edge have potential to be great

Taylor on the other side. IMO

I'm eager to see Austin Smith personally. Kid was already making plays his true freshman year. He's physical if not anything else.

Same. Need them both to step up.

Something I've been upset with and said before is that I hate we keep moving or mentioning moving athletes at LB to DE. Austin Smith should be at LB IMO

I actually think this team will be good. It's no pressure on them expectations wise and we are really athletic. Plus the defense will be better coached for sure. I trust Larry Scott more than Debord already. Lol If JG wins the QB spot we should be alright there. I just don't trust the head coach though......😎 😎 😎

Trying to get my life back on track, today has been a busy day of phone calls back and forth to work making sure things are in order. Double checking and making sure bills are in order/paid and trying to catch up on VN. I just completed the most important task of the day though and you my VN family will be thankful that I did.....

As you are all aware (ad nauseam) my oldest son and I are both Marines. Retired and Medically Retired. I had thought my family was done serving for a while. I was mistaken. My 6 year old informed me of a daunting task that required completion prior to his return from school.

I have just spent the last couple of hours repairing/rebuilding and bolstering the defenses of a 5 1/2 ft long X 3 ft wide X 3 1/2 ft high cardboard spaceship. I know...I know...I was nervous too. Once I found out why, it put a lot of pressure on me to ensure I did the job to the best of my abilities (which I was not sure I would be able to accomplish in my current state).

I was informed this morning by my 6 year old (he wanted to let me rest last night before telling me) that he and my 1 1/2 year old have been using the spaceship to go into outer space and fight aliens. They were doing this to protect the world while I was in the hospital. The reason for the need for repairs (torn to shreds) was during all the fighting apparently the spaceship was hit and had to crashland.

So when you tuck yourselves in to bed tonight VN, do so with the full knowledge the the spaceship has been repaired and the newest generation of the Biker family is at the helm, keeping the world safe from aliens.

In the words of Lil Biker....."We got this dad".

:hi:

Space Marines.

I like it. :salute:

We have basketball to fill the void....

...but waiting for football is basically painful and messy.

Isn't that Azzani?

If his parents are smart, they'll nix that idea. If I had it to do all over again, I'd not send my kid to an Ivy school. Consider it one of the biggest parenting mistakes of my life. I'll go to my grave regretting that decision.

You know you have to give us some context

His development at DE will be vital IMO.

Kevin Beard was in town yesterday and spent the day interviewing for the vacant wide receiver position. As of now, its my understanding Butch Jones is still evaluating and talking to others. I think Beard is still the front runner as of now.

Sounds like this one should be final soon.

Might as well. Beards are "in" right now

I'm glad. He seems like a great guy, and I think our receivers will respond well to him.

I would rather have his brother Handlebar.

Agree with his point, but bad examples from Paul IMO.

Add Beard and this staff can really recruit

 

[Aesius]

Did Alexis Johnson not get a RS last season?

Roster shows him as a senior and includes a blurb about making his UT debut at the Battle at Bristol.

 

[butchna]

RIP Bill Paxton. Wasn't ready for this one...man was constantly working.

Who has he recruited in the past?

I think he started with a goatee.

When there is an injury involved, as was the case with Johnson, there is a process they have to go through with applying for the medical redshirt. My guess is that they are going through that process and will update it when/if his redshirt is approved.

From the little that I understand about that process and what I remember reading about Johnson's situation last fall, I think it should eventually be approved.

Always thought he was a good actor. RIP Bill.
