Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Devo182]

You know what I mean. Why can we not have all three of those and a closer?

Get that "we" outta here. I'll never associate with your evil Georgia team!!

We would've 100% gotten to the elite 8 or better if that rule was implemented this past season. Oh well.

Does that mean the court has to be bigger so players can still fit in corner shots? Vandy gonna be shooting from their stupid dugout area.

 

[Devo182]

Probably that FPI voodoo science. In reality UGA has recruited absurdly well and will probably blow us off the field for another year. Maybe 2020/2021 we will compete. But this year the gap will be too significant...trenches will be too inexperienced.

 

[Rishvol]

I've been saying that since January. Taking my credit the jerks

 

[Rishvol]

Bullpen gonna be responsible for 20 losses by September but yeah we dont need no closer!

Pretty sure that's the number right now

I hope we can get a big signature win this year, but it is practically absurd to do any predictions of this magnitude and I am sure it is a click bait sort of thing, for us poor football starved fans... but one can hope that magic is worked.

Underrated post...you could have also substituted Minnesota for Vandy.

Daniel McCullers

Still kind of shocked that Ton DMC didn’t stick with him. Nickname like that - along with that grainy video from the top of Neyland of him running over some poor offensive lineman in a one on one drill...what could have been...

I’m talking Keuchel as a closer.

Keuchel isnt a closer doubt he would take that role.

" The offense finished last in the SEC in yards – averaging 326 yards per game – was last in passing efficiency and last in rushing."

Well that is nowhere close to correct.

 

[Nashvegas31]

I no longer pay attention to mlb but how the heck was he available to just sign?

If JG would stop throwing 50/50 balls and learn to lead his receivers that won't happen

@Ulysees E. McGill TWOT was an answer on Jeopardy

What was the question?

 

[Rishvol]

What was the question?

It was something like "What is the book series written by Robert Jordan that had the sequel New Spring?" It was a book series category

 

[VflPT22]

People can say what they want about our recruiting class but it’s quality over quantity. I’d much rather have our current class than say Mississippi state’s “12th” ranked class right now. They have 16 commits of which 15 are 3 stars and 1 4 star. We have 4 4 stars, 1 3 star and the top ranked long snapper including a great QB, great DT, top ranked de and cb from juco

For $15 mil? He’d bag groceries. Close until he works himself back and then reevaluate. Smoltz did ok once upon a time.

 

[butchna]

Wanted a record salary. When the Red Sox and Yankees balk, your leverage is crap.

 

[butchna]

He’s held out for $17 mil per.

 

[LightningVol]

He’s held out for $17 mil per.

From a story before he signed on mlb.com:

Because the Astros made Keuchel a one-year, $17.9 million qualifying offer in November, and the Red Sox did the same for Kimbrel, both players had their free agencies tied to Draft compensation. When a player rejects a QO and then signs with a new team, that team is subject to a penalty that affects its Draft picks.

Given the value clubs place on those picks -- and the young talent they produce -- these penalties serve as a deterrent. However, if a team waits until the Draft, those penalties disappear.

That is why.
