Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

If by NY loft, you mean living in a small room in my in-laws house, and I can only assume you do, you are correct. As for Taiwan, I’ve only passed through the airport but spent $10 on beef noodles which was way too much

Maps is hard. Maybe you should add geography lessons to your buffet of services for @chargervol ?

Reported, and it only took 1 step!

See @Sleegro you've fattened the notification coffers. Trying to best Newt and gon break VN in the process. Self-centered moran!

I feel bullied right now.

Then I'm doing it correctly. Lol.

I said it’s great to be a Ulysees E McGill Volunteer, I said it’s....

I got your back my Volunteer brother!

Good post, a man's gotta stick up for the Pater Familias.

I got my wife an Instant Pot for Mother's Day and an air fryer for her birthday.... this year. She loves both presents because.... they are what she wanted. I am probably sexist for getting my wife kitchen appliances for her special days. The fact that I more or less taught her to cook and I sew on any buttons what need sewing in our home would mean nothing to the man haters I imagine. Oh well, I'll do my best to stop oppressing my wife so much.

It appears you have much better luck than me. I learned, a long time ago, "never" give your wife a gift with a cord attached to it. In my house, those gifts go over like a lead balloon. Items with a cord are deemed a necessity and not a gift

Drove right off the cliff. Saw it way too late to even sweep under the rug.

Plus, no matter how many times I read his post, I can't even tell if he's taking me seriously.

I'm just gonna quit while I'm behind..

There are probably 3-4 current commits that might not end up in this class. IDT UT really wants to part ways with anybody, but it may be a necessity. A few guys have moved up the board in the last week, so there are more wants than spots.

That's always the worst part about accepting a commitment early. I understand that it happens everywhere but it doesn't necessarily make it right. Some kid get his heard broken because he committed early and someone better comes in late.

My dad bought my mom a dish drainer for Christmas once, her reaction was not good.

Good luck to him and thankful for all he has done for UT.

So from what I can gather:

FSU: Norvell
Missouri: McElwain
Arky: Kiffin or Leach

I've been thinking that there has got to be something up with Norvell. I wasn't sure what it was but now there is scuttle bug that he has serious gambling issues and is into someone pretty deep. It really wouldn't shock me if he stays in Memphis. JMO

Rushing offense needs to improve. Rushing defense improved in each area.

Passing offense was very solid except for interceptions. Maurer didn't help that statistical category. Passing defense was also very solid and improved in each area.

welp, guess its another ride in the qb roller coaster next year.

Another Spring and Fall Practice where we will hear how much JG has improved...and then we play Charlotte.

Great on 3rd down conversions but sucked it up on 4th down conversions. Our red zone offense and defense were both worse than I expected.

We significantly improved creating turnovers, but we also gave away the ball a lot more. We were also penalized more this year compared to last year (rankings can be slightly misleading here since the margins are slim compared to other teams).

Yep. Sausagemaking. Some of them do commit early to get that spot. It's really tough when they shut it down or get hurt after committing. If they visit around and post photos in other school's unis while committed to UT, they've opened the door. I think this staff tries to stick with commits as much as possible, but we have a chance to upgrade the class right before ESD so that could mean swapping out some guys or not letting some commits sign in December.

A blueshirt isn't an option for most of our guys. Most have been recruited or can find a better option. And if we recruit over a player, we generally can better utilize the spot.
