Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Check the like jay graham comin home boys

So who liked it?

Well it’s obviously a Klan convention going on down in Athens, and the poor kid had a hearing deficit when he practically lived on the campus during his recruitment.

I just don't like to be accusatory unless I know the facts, unless it's Chief or BOV.

And they kicked him off campus pretty immediately. He continued to play football and his sister signed on TO THE SAME SCHOOL to play softball. Where’s the oppressive environment? Guess if she has a slump her brother blazed a path. This is a Pandora’s Box, dude. If he had beaten out Fromm would he still be at this “racist cesspool”. Bet your outraged, civil rights championing azz he would be! The sitting out one season requirement is a safeguard against the “remote” possibility of young athletes getting miffed and leaving. When you recruit and build a roster around certain numbers that’ll devastate some programs. I was all for the obliteration of coaches being able to restrict destinations of transfers but this is different. But hey! When Tulane gets out of the football biz because of this bs, then you’ll be big pimpin with the edits of those “taking their talents to ....”. Congrats.

Excellent post Butchie

[drvenner]

Agreed

I think it's time for open transfers and damn I have always been against that

I agree that open transfers are coming. Coaches are going to have to re-recruit 60 players every year.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Cuz it’ll stop with this one. Cheer with me when Crouch leaves after the season because of the "oppressive rednecks" on this totally non-liberal campus.

I'm offended at your racist stereotype comment...

 

[Volfanatic_20]

It Johnson is leaving and we have Tee what upgrade? Jay Graham or another high-level RB coach?

Exactly. Sounded like a lot of uncertainty during the January visits if he was going to coach running back. So he seems like the obvious choice. And graham was a name mentioned weeks ago as a possibility

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

1) There's absolutely NO way that could've been the straw that broke the camel's back?

2) Semantics. It implies using your own race as a shortcut.

Come on man...this is utter bullshite

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Didn’t he go with Helton to WKU...

As if Pruitt gives a crap lol.

He did but left to go to Charlotte if I’m not mistaken. Not sure if why maybe just to be closer to home?

Remember that one time when we were told we’d have the best staff in America? Then 3 years later hired the Nevada RB’s coach to coach QB’s. Lol yeah me too. I hope he dies in a car fire.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

If he wants to leave after one season and gets immediate eligibility good for him. Hopefully he balls out. Ncaa is a terrible organization and players should get way more control over what THEY are allowed to do

Stupidity leads to destruction.

 

[drvenner]

Would be a cake walk to the E8

Ain't no such thing.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Ain't no such thing.

Would take that in a heartbeat.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Good for him until it’s not good for us.

The idjits are too blind to understand this simple truth. Chaos is always destructive, and not in a creative way.

 

[Geaux_Vols]

So I take it that you have no problem with people playing "the race card"...because it definitely happens a lot.

Be there when the convo is happening or keep skimming. Quoting posts 12 pages back. Lol. Nothing better to do on a Friday night?

 

[drvenner]

I rather have OD raid this thread than this nonsense

The transfer waiver is a very relevant and football - related topic.

 

[butchna]

Not really a Butch plan. As I said, it's not uncommon for HS TEs to grow into OTs. Aaron Douglas (RIP) played TE in HS if IRCC. Butch simply failed at player development of any kind.

Aaron Douglas played for Kiffin.

 

[drvenner]

Ever walk into the middle of a conversation and think to yourself “what the actual f started this”?

Erry day on VN.

 

[butchna]

I'm offended at your racist stereotype comment...

Which one?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I agree with this.

My main issue was the charged statement of "Fields played the race card". You gotta think Ohio State coaches had the numbers dialed and paperwork already drawn up for Fields to slap his signature on the waiver request.. yet here we are saying it was all on Fields and he's exploiting his own race for benefit.

That is exactly what I'm saying...but according to Smokey..Hooray for him..yea..

Utah State.

I think thats a valid point

 

[drvenner]

Those fan bases better pray we don’t get back. Tennessee fans are awful when we are winning. Hell I can’t stand myself sometimes with the cockiness.

Yep. Can't wait.

 

[TennGentry]

Utah State.

Jesus, you’re right.
