Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Eric Gray?

All the freshmen who have cracked the rotation... more than just 3. I feel like there are positives, if you care to look for them... but I'm beginning to worry that all the other negativity will shut things down before they have a chance to get rolling, if that makes sense...

The T-shirt for the kid in Florida. Other than that, I pretty much have nothing.

We're UT, so it's gonna come out that the University profited over that...just watch. And sent crappy, wrong-orange, second-quality knock-offs when they couldn't meet demand.

It’s gonna get much worse before it gets better.

Top story on TMZ Sports right now. No new information about why, just says he was kicked off the team and rehashes their story from earlier in the week. Says "developing" . . .

As a collective group can we name 3 positive things that have happened since fall camp started?

1) To'
2) oto'
3) o

 

[jakez4ut]

I don’t buy this because he’s been practicing all week.

Something happened today.

agreed. this isn't a reaction to the video or blowback from it. something else came to light.

Also noticed he said some of those things to a female officer. Putting 2 and 2 together, I wonder if the new info relates to the female officer and some type of verbal assault towards her.

To'oto'o overcame being homesick and didn't leave.
Cimaglia is turning into one of the best kickers in the country
Crouch is turning into a leader of the team and is fully bought in.

i'm against how the KNS and media handled this whole situation.

but...it's not their fault.....whatever banks did, banks did....not the media.

again, i don't think the media handled this right at all and have been relatively vocal about it......but let's not get it twisted.

Banks did it, You’re absolutely correct. But people say and do much worse and we never hear about it. Point is, the body camera footage should have never been released. He wasn’t charged with a terroristic threat, the police didn’t find it worthy and yet he’s loosing everything’s hes worked for over a stupid ass comment. Knoxville news media should but up and get every body cam footage for every football player arrested and see what they accomplish.

Recruits are gonna love "come to UT where you will be hounded by the local press and dismissed if you ever make a mistake.:

Honestly seems like Knoxville is trying to kill off UT football so the Haslams can move the Browns into Neyland.

 

[VolInDayton]

Our fanbase is the Teeshirt kid and we are just waiting for someone to give us free college

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Hill was the second QB. Hopefully Jake Bentley grad transfers and TN goes after him

Bentley is About as exciting as glass of garden hose water

i think it's fairly important to at least acknowledge that right now, the only thing we know is what we've been shown.

i don't think he's getting dismissed from the team because of what we arleady know to be true. if that was going to be the case, it likely would have happened before the friday before the GA game, after you've spent a few days talking about how it's been handled in house and we're moving on.

he did something else....that we don't know about yet, and it was bad enough that it warranted this outcome.....imo.

 

[Ace]

Well on the bright side, we will definitely be able to sign 25 this year.

Bentley is doodoo. His only good games are against us. No idea why some want him to "GransferTrad" here

 

[Volbucky]

It’s honestly disgusting how much social media rules over stuff

It's a tool. Ultimately it is us who can leverage it against our own worst impulses or not. Like drugs, we can choose to be consumed or not.

It is only extrinsically negative. It's not evil in itself, just an avenue for us expressing the negatives already in us.

Just try to stomach reading YouTube comments, they are terrible. Those are merely human thoughts, once given anonymity. Only ourselves to blame.

 

[jakez4ut]

Warrior wouldn't be able to get off a block. SEC olineman would eat him alive at 190 lbs.

well i don't think you put him on the line with a hand in the dirt............lol.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Wow, just saw the news about Banks! Unreal the kind of luck we have at TN. Can we just cancel the rest of our season and save the embarrassment? This has been absurd since the 2nd snap to open the season, and it won’t get any better. We may need to install a 5-2 or 6-1 defense because we are almost out of ILBs.

 

[bignewt]

i don't think that's what is happening here. niether will recruits.

It has happened and seems like it will continue to, even if Banks was dismissed for other reasons you cant say the tape helped matters.
