Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

What a great offer.
When you say “female responses only” are you talking about non surgically altered, biologically born or is there a little wiggle room?

 

[SoilVol]

no, they wanted him. if you believe what he says, TN was recruiting him harder than KY. again...if you believe him.

personally, i think the staff wanted him. but i don't think they were ready to take a committment today. i also think Rybka just didn't want to play at TN. i think the hometown school stuff didn't set well with him, and he was more than happy to play "the contrarian".

I don't think that's been uncommon for some in state prospects the past few years for several in state prospects.

I'm from Dickson and have talked to his teammates. I agree he wasn't big about playing for TN, but I don't believe the hot pursuit by the staff. I'm sure they wanted him for his potential though, bc his upside is huge

Makes you buy your own ticket because it's not a date but he wants female company. Yeah, he's a keeper.

OL musings: why move a guy if he did great at where he played last year! Dang it, leave tre at RG and JJ at left guard! I don’t agree that the best OL should play LT. If he sucks at it (like Trey did last year), then DONT do it. In the case of Trey, we’re talking All-American at RG, maybe the best to ever play the position at UT. Would you want there best there is at one position or mediocrity at another?

In the case of JJ, he looked dang good at LG last year. LEAVE HIM THERE! This is what I don’t like about getting “the best 5” on the field. Why try to get the best 5 when two of them are the best at guard, but ain’t any better than then backup at tackle? In that case now you’re no better at the tackle position and weaker at the guard spot. Defies logic.

Friend and Pruitt have a chance to do what’s right. It doesn’t look like they will. I was hoping Chaney would step in and fix this, but he hasn’t.

Don’t bother pointing out what JJ’s body looks like. Look at his performance and not his body shape. He was good at LG last year and I would expect him to be better, and the best choice for the position.

How about it guys? Anyone feel me here? Can we let guards be guards and tackles be tackles?

Let’s let coaches be coaches

sounds about right. i think it's obvious they liked the kid and his upside.

i dont' think they were recruiting as hard as TR would like most to believe they were. the whole comment about how KY was just chill and TN was really coming hard.............don't buy it. lol. sounded to me more like a kid that wanted to drive the narrative so as to get a jab to the TN folks he was going to spurn..... not sure if that means he's just mean, lol, or just liked playing the game of recruiting.

either way, i don't think the TN staff was on him as hard as he said they were.

Sounds good. I second the motion.

 

[drvenner]

didn't say you should. see my last poast. no one should worry about this. some inevitably will.

I did not think you said I should. I just used your post as a convenient launching point. Go Pens!!

Some kids just want to get away from home. Nothing wrong with that. Good luck to him.

If we get this podcast issue figured out you will be able to hear Atlanta VOL live in Darth Vader form

If that’s the case, needs to be member only cause too many enemy poachers as it is.

That feeling when you buy milk that expires two days before game 2...

Drew Richmond is so frustrating. False start. false start. false start

Jahmir was good when he pulled, but got manhandled a lot in straight man blocking. He was neither big enough or strong enough. But when he pulled and got pads on a second level defender he looked good for sure. But he should be bigger and stronger this year, so if he can handle man-blocking then I wouldn't mind him staying at LG. He has the aggressive attitude definitely; he just needs the size and strength to back his aggressive nature up.

Hey guys,

My Mom passed this morning. It was very peaceful and calm after several days of rapid decline. We were able to be with her the whole time and are still up here in Cincinnati taking care of my Dad. Thanks for all your prayers.

*Sorry to drop this in here, but y’all are some prayer -sending folks and we could use em.

 

[Catbone]

Ya know I was thinking how we play OU next year. Pruitt going to have some serious tools in the defensive backfield to defend against a pass happy offense. We get some good edge rushers to emerge and it could be a great game.

But being Tennessee we will lose

He should check the cast of Love After Lockup. Probably find a suitable companion.

That Inky speech was a serious ass chewing. Hoping he wasn’t told the team was having widespread issues with what he spoke about.

Can always count on you to find something negative to say about something that is universally considered positive. hahahaha

Could be our “Tennessee is back” moment. But hopefully in a for real way and not in a Texas every time they won a big game under Charlie Strong way.

I loved the speech. It was in your face and at one point i swear he was calling out Jennings.

If this was Sab, he wouldn't be looking for a lady.

 

[InstrumentalVol]

Completely a gut feeling but based on Social Media looks like Mordecai McDaniel seems to really favor PSU and Florida. Hope Im wrong, any word on where we stand with him?

 

[85SugarVol]

He wants to play. If he remains healthy and clot-free, they should clear him for full contact and put him on the new protocol for the season. He's such a great kid, with a tremendously supportive family. I really hope it works out for him.

Unfortunately, I’ll believe it when I see it. Just not buying him playing again.

Well, the joke is on him then. He chose KY OVER TN. Let’s see how that works out
