Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The rampant speculation and venom of anonymous posters on a SCAR board will carry no weight in this case. UT spoke to his HS principal and guidance counselor numerous times before BT was admitted to UT.

Squeeze a sour grape and all sorts of slime flies out.

Exactly what I was saying to that dude yesterday..

 

[chargervol]

Stealing talent from LSU ain’t a bad way to go.

I'll admit, I was being self serving.
Ky getting any good players is good for them.
But if they're going spend and convince the NCAA the kids just love them some Kroger, they need to dip into that Ga pool.

And yes I'm still being self serving

 

[rekinhavoc]

Yup. Definitely going to buy me some of these golf balls.

I think Dick's Sporting Goods personalizes golf balls for free.

Heavy heart tonight fellas! My daughters half brother committed suicide over the weekend. He was 20 and in the Air Force. There wasn’t any signs of any thing, and came out of no where. He was a good kid. Had done a lot of farm work for me while he was in high school. If y’all could say a prayer for her and her mother’s family, I’d appreciate it!

Will do...this is awful.

So very, very sorry, and you just never know. My oldest grandson, 14 at the time, committed suicide this past December. No evidence of depression whatsoever. Just a wonderful young man. Always doing extracurricular stuff at his school. A member of the school chess club. A and B student all his life; had taken Brazilian Ju Jitsu and Muay Thai kickboxing since he was 6, and was a junior instructor at the school working with the young kids. Had a girlfriend, had a job at Publix for about 6 months prior. Was a gifted guitarist. And he did it on his 6 year old brother's birthday, so that will be his memory on his birthday for the rest of his life. I had been with him the night before and he seemed great, and then you get that call just changes your life forever. It makes me cry even now.

Again, so very sorry.

That's terrible man, I'm so sorry.
I'm just steadily repeating to my kids that whatever feelings and trials they face when they reach that age, will pass.
Don't know if it's doing any good but that age scares everything out of me.

My thoughts are with you, his parents and the family of Z06.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Our 4 and 5 star laden OL thumbs its collective nose at Tonga.

lol

 

[HankHill]

He does. The guy is like 400lbs and slow as Christmas.

He almost left early for the NFL last year. He dominated in the game Wisconsin which always has a good OL while playing with a cast on his hand.

“Massive defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga — perhaps BYU’s best pro prospect — plans to do just that. Tonga, a junior from West Valley City’s Granger High, said that the 2019 season quite likely will be his final one in Provo.”

If they start getting these kids, I'd like to see Tennessee take it a step further and be like "Welcome to Neyland Stadium where the Vols will play Florida on the Publix Chicken Tender Sub Field"

Thatll get these kids away from Kroger.

[butchna]

Really sorry man, like Gucc said, too much of this happening.
Buried one member of my family Saturday, stood beside my uncle the entire service.
He was rushed to the hospital unconcious last night and they found cancer in his brain today.

Getting where you dread calls from the family. It’s never about money that someone forgot to give you way back when. Praying for the best.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

So was looking at the practice film and on the drill where they are going downhill with the CBs it does appear to be Bryce Thompson up on the line in the #3 Jersey. Does this bode well for him? Wears his socks the same way Thompson does.

Why the freak would you even talk about it on VN even if you think it really was? Unless you are a troll?

Come on man

 

[WriterVol]

So is Buchanon done with football? Also...I'm sort of uneasy about Means being a 2nd string CB....either he is really good or our secondary talent is not as good as we thought.

A combination of injuries during camp, medical issues, and suspensions bubbled him up there. In theory, he's only ahead of three guys in the corners group (Bailey, Davis, and Solomon).

Since he switched positions to provide extra depth, it's also possible his good attitude is being rewarded with a depth chart spot. I don't know if that's a thing Pruitt does, but it happens.

Come on man

FYP. Language.

My mother was house sitting for nephew while he drove back to his daughter's gravesite. (Gifts etc just piled up at home and some people are just horrible)
Mom called me to take her to watch my aunt and uncle's kid before the ambulance got there and then go back and take over nephews house sitting.

When you're rotating shifts for multiple tragic events, you just start aimlessly asking for some mythical escape and hoping the damn phone doesn't ring again.

Just listened to Wes Rucker get interviewed on local Nashville radio and the dude sounds like an average VN poster just spewing what he’s read on here.

Complete douche that has zero respect as a “sports journalist”.

Von Pearson practiced with the team during his ordeal. But that source has dried up

My prayers for you and your family. This breaks my heart and is too close to home as we are raising our 6 year old grandson. He knows we love him and he knows things are different compared to his friends.

Are you worried that yer an average poster?

It was reported yesterday that there were some number changes. BR has number 20 back now when he returns. This happened because of special team players being set.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Yeah, we could Cal ‘06 ‘em or Cal ‘07 ‘em. I can see either one happening.

I would be more worried if this were a 12:00 kick, bu pimetime on ESPN hopefully works in our favor. Think this game is going to be tougher than Vandy this year, however.

I am so very sorry. I cannot begin to imagine this pain. May the Comforter comfort you and give you peace. I will pray for you everytime the Lord brings you to mind.
