Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Rishvol]

I doubt the Jones/Lebruzza/Page/etc kids play huge time outside of UTC and UAB, but I do think they can provide two things: specialized depth, and a redemption attitude.

It does take more than 22 players to win in the SEC, and if this bumps us from 30 viable players to 33, that's better than the alternative.

Didn't Page start the SG? Or was that Ignont

Favorite snack food growing up, especially for breakfast, was just toasting a slice of bread and spreading butter on it before sprinkling cinnamon and sugar on top. Was like crack cocaine.

2 graham crackers with peanut butter in between

Ritz crackers and peanut butter, ftw!! Anything sensible with peanut butter really. Get a Hershey bar, break a piece of it off and top it with peanut butter… That’s some yummy goodness too.

I think it was Ignont. I know Reid had the most tackles with 9, though.

Ritz crackers and peanut butter for the win!! Almost a nightly snack for me.

Page was with the 1s in the spring. Assuming Bituli and Ignont lock down spots, Page will be competing with Reid, JJP, Crouch and To'oto'o in camp. If JJP can't get in the rotation ahead of Page, that won't be a good thing.

Maybe I got Reid and Page confused... Dang I'm gonna have to relearn the roster I guess

Seeing this orange vanilla Coca-Cola

What’s the verdict boys? I don’t know what to think

Just a splash with the rare breed turkey.

Here's a "damn I grew up poor moment" ya know people talk about nostalgia foods from their childhood.

One of my favorites was an aunt would make us cheese bread, it was a slice of bread with cheese on it that she put in the oven until the cheese melted.

Fried bologna with mustard on Bunny white, y’all.

It's easy to mix a whole lot of smaller .86xx rated athletes up when none of them have stepped up over 2017-2018

Gotta say, though.. Shanon Reid dun bulked up, and I do think he's gonna take a step forward this year. It wouldn't surprise me to see him start at ILB while HT or JJP get their feet under them.

Microwaved pepperoni slices

I’m hungry now, so I’m thinking how that would be stirred into some Mac and cheese

 

[LA Vol]

Can't remember if Ignont was dinged up or in the doghouse-- or both-- in the spring, but he was bumped down the depth chart. JJP was also injured. If Bituli, Ignont, Reid, Page and JJP are solid, the coaches might try Crouch outside to give us more options. Interesting to see how JJP continues to develop. Coaches are keeping pretty quiet about that. And it will be interesting to see how quickly To'oto'o gets game-ready. By all accounts, he came in eager to learn and wanting to play.

Early kid delicacy: microwaved baloney with cheese...which forms a baloney cup with a center pool of delicious fat.

Probably pre-hardned the old arteries....

 

[Devo182]

Had to waste 90 mins in wal-mart while they tested my car battery for warranty (even though I told them it only grabs .9 volt and could verify in like 2 minutes...) anyway I ended up reading all of Lindy's, Athlon, Football Time in Tennessee...depressing reading. Apparently we hardly have a top 5 position unit in the entire conference. Bleghhh

Use heavy whipping cream for your Mac and cheese

I'm really interested to see the JJP thing play out. VQ made it sound, uh, not good but the coaches never seemed as down on him as they were.
Maybe just coach speak but we have some great developers, would love to be surprised.

Why does everyone forget about Roman Harrison?

 

[SLICKYINC]

I fix spam with biscuit and gravy at least once a week. I love it.

Like for those use of “fix” in a sentence. Props.

You mean cinnamon toast?

 

[VOLuptuousBOOMS]

Bituli and Reid started the spring game. Ignont and Crouch were second team. Page was 2nd string on the first team (3rd team).

I'm not, think he may run the empire in year 2 .

So Fulmer apparently is in the 10+ win crowd - if everything falls right this season?

“I expect us to be better, certainly. And he expects to be better,” Fulmer told Blake Toppmeyer of the Knoxville News Sentinel. “This program, in my time around it, has never been at this place. I mean, in three out of the (past) five years, we had nobody drafted. At Tennessee? Are you kidding? It’s getting people in place and developing the young men that are here to compete at the highest level in college football, and that’s in this conference. We have made significant strides in that direction.

“What does that relate to in games, wins? I do believe that we’ll be better. Would I love to sit here and say, ‘We’re going to win 10 or 11.' Absolutely. I’d love to say that, but that’s up to everything falling right and kids coming through that are young and some upperclassmen continuing to improve and develop.”

Fulmer reveals his expectations for Pruitt's second season

Personally I'd prefer the 11 but I guess 10 isn't so bad this year given where we're coming from. I won't complain, this one time. jmo.

Yeah, the coaches don't say much and they clearly want to keep everything upbeat and positive. But they've been complimentary about Crouch, who seems to be developing at a faster pace, especially with the mental aspects of the position. Of course, JJP has been dinged up and had that shoulder issue. Fall camp should tell us a lot.
