Recruiting Forum Football Talk LVII

[Brillovol]

I’ve been doing less than 20g of carbs per day. Hard to get 250+ grams of protein lol.

I’m know I shouldn’t be going by the scale but get caught up in it anyway. Wanted some feedback to make sure I’m not losing my mind, help motivate me to stay focused. I have a long way to go, another 80lbs or so, but I’m feeling so much better already. Mentally and physically. I can tell a difference in the way I look. Nice to start seeing some size back in my chest, arms, and legs, even though I’m still weak as water lol

Thanks for the feedback nick and newt.

Laager be like...

What needs to happen for some recruiting momentum?



- Hubbs

Boom. This guy is making all of the right choices. We may have an actual football coach now.

lol meat and cheese is seriously almost all I eat these days.

So many knee injuries. The re-injuries on OL is concerning with our lack of depth there.

Wonder what's wrong with Picou? He missed games with a thigh injury last year, but this must be something else.

I’ve been liking the Clif protein bars lately. 20g of protein in each, and they’re tasty too. Also been staying on the 365 brand (Whole Foods) whey shakes, but I need a lot less protein than you do.

4 straight years of incredibly large amount of players missing spring pracrice due to injuries. Seems unprecedented

Last year's team was soft and unmotivated. Not sure if Butch ever planned to run a tight ship or if letting players make their own decisions about workout and practices started with Hurd... but it got worse. Some of the seniors said players were doing whatever they wanted and had no respect for Butch at all last year. I think CJP is as annoyed with the work ethic and attitude as he is with the players being undeveloped and out-of-shape. One thing about CJP-- he's not playing favorites. They're all working. Wonder how the slackers are enjoying those 5 AM workouts?

Several have called Butch a micromanager, but I agree with you - he did not run a tight ship. Maybe he spread himself too thin, but discipline was lost in all areas of the team. Also many HCs who are not strong in discipline usually have a trusted staff member who is a disciplinarian (Cutcliffe for Fulmer), CBJ never seemed to have that guy.

I actually thought there would be more out this spring, seems like there were a lot more out last year. Excited to see my boy Jacquez show out!

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Me too, Ive gone Keto.

I feel as good as Ive ever felt. Couldnt go back to all those carbs.

Keep up the good work

I’m on Keto as well right now. I’m doing well with the intake of limited carbs but the one thing that drives me nuts is with a normal Keto diet the suggested protein level is way too low. 60g of protein is what’s suggested for my weight. I also find it hard to eat the suggested fat amount but avocados and “fat bombs” have been saving me there.

 

[bignewt]

Keto sounds like it would be really bad on your heart.

How many carbs do those bars have?

I’ve been drinking lots of the premier protein drinks from Sams. 30g protein and like 2-3 carbs. They have some great new flavors. Banana cream, cookies n cream, and peaches and cream are my faves.

I dont get enough protein daily. Prob between 150-200 grams. Hard to get more than that and keep my total calories in check.

We had our March madness party at work the other day and it was very difficult not to partake in any of the batter fried foods and delicious cakes.

I don’t do the “keto” diet myself, just no carbs. I don’t try to ramp up my fat intake.

Softball team is killing it. Now that they got Vines back to help protect Gregg they are dangerous. If they get Sprang to come along as a 3rd option there's a chance to win it all.

I think there's a chance, but Florida's pitching is so dominating. Great pitching still beats great hitting, almost every time. I do hope Sprang can come around as it will strengthen what is a very good to great rotation right now.

I’m sure there is some weight loss science behind it but I don’t get why you would intentionally up your fat intake.

Whatever happened, happened the season before when Hurd was still here. The year prior they were tough and motivated (playing above themselves really) but not quite there yet talent and experience wise. Then they went into what should've been a great season ill-prepared, out-of-sync, and soft.

For whatever reason Jones couldn't recover from that. The team was lost then. The only other factor I can see is Butch getting rid of Jancek for Shoop and the conflict between Shoop and others just spinning things into chaos. Hard to keep a team together when the DC, HC, and assistants are at odds.

 

[Vols4us]

This isn’t new info but I talked to a guy this morning that said Jack Jones hated butch. He hated the differences butch made in how he treated certain players. I’m sure that was a common feeling throughout the locker room.

That's what I heard from a VFL. Doesn't mean it is true, just that it's out there. The favoritism was obvious.

I’m just happy Trey will likely be back and looks like maybe Niehaus and Chance as well. If the rest of the guys hit the S&C program like they should, we could possibly have a serviceable OL after all.

It wouldn't be Spring practice without Catbone harping about injuries. In this case, I actually agree with you. I have to believe that it's not all bad luck.

 

[LaagerVol]

This was from a Murfreesboro source. I was asking him about Woodi Washington and we started talking about coaching, recruiting, past failures, etc.

Heard the Florida crow hopper got called for some illegal pitches this year and Georgia touched her up the other night.

I asked someone about it last week because i keep seeing people talk about it. It didn't sound like something that would be good but maybe he explained it wrong. Odd to make your body think it's in starvation mode. I don't follow that stuff though. I just work out and eat wtf I want to

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I’m sure there is some weight loss science behind it but I don’t get why you would intentionally up your fat intake.

Supposedly it has to do with having your body get used to going after fat storage for energy since you barely eat any carbs, or something like that. Idk i was/am still skeptical and I figured it was just one of those fad diets but I saw my brother in law lose over 150 pounds on it. So I decided I’d try it.

My wife just started getting those premier protein drinks. They are fantastic! I don’t do the Keto diet per se, but I try to eat higher protein and lower carb foods. Those drinks are delicious. I like the zone protein bars, and put some peanut butter on them. Makes for a delicious combo washed down with a premier protein drink.

IDT Butch would have relinquished control to a guy like Cutcliffe. Once he lost the respect of star players, he lost the ability to control them and that trickled down to the rest of the team. That last year, I just don't think he cared and a lot of players stopped caring, too.
