Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Spud Web that you?

Ssssh!

 

[Orangeburst]

Knew there had to be an explanation for the coin shortage. Damned bats got our currency too!

I thought about that as well. They maybe messed up on the logistics and pulled The old quarters and then covid hit during production. With fewer quarters more dimes and nickels had to
be used for transactions and people dont carry the smaller change. Just spitballing

I need that hat that Jay is wearing.

Funny. I thought the same exact thing!

 

[Rishvol]

I guess it just depends on how organized and proactive the district is. I feel bad for those that aren’t. My 4th grader is in a gifted class, and he leaves his regular one and joins a new Zoom class every day at the same time. That teacher is devoted to her students who are virtual. I’ve been pretty impressed, but we are also blessed to be in one of, if not, best districts in the state.

I thought you were in Memphis?

Only nfl jersey I’m going to own

Hope you didn’t pull a @Bassmaster_Vol and purchase his #81 now that he switched to #17

Suburb.

 

[Cheese Vol]

Kinda think we only win 2-3 games looking at our schedule

Do they not? I had heard differently, but admittedly the person that said it was not in the school system.

I agree. I don't think there's much power there either and I belonged to it the first few years of teaching.

We're going back in person this coming Monday. I'm excited to get back to working in person with my students again!

 

[SweetasSoda]

You must be new here. We do talk a lot of recruiting when there is news to discuss. We discuss pretty much everything else because we like to. Doubt it's going to change anytime soon.

I didn't want to be the one to tell him.

Football has changed due to the offensive and defensive schemes, not a lack of defensive intensity. The NBA game has changed because they simply do not put forth the effort on the defensive side of the ball. A guy makes one juke and the defensive player gives up. This never happened in the Magic, Bird and Jordan era’s. Heck I bet I could score double figures in today’s NBA game and I’m turning 59 this year and only 5’7 tall.

Those 3 would be totally bored playing against today's defenses.

Yes they have some power right now anyway. They have pressured some systems into going remote already

@Bassmaster_Vol when you get your weekly question on the VN podcast answered tomorrow please ask AP for a Future Cast on William Parker...probability too

Good or bad we need some recruiting news around here.

Thanks

Exact same with the NBA. Better offensive systems. This is a time of spread offenses, not packing in tall centers and power fowards down low...

If defense simply wasn't there, wouldn't defensive players show up and start dominating? It's a free system.

They are defending way more open offenses and a much more athletic league. Much more comptetive.

Magic would have 30 assists a game, Bird and Jordan would average 50 and 60 pts per game respectively.

Sorry but most of the difference is the effort on defense.

@de1conley what is Cooper thinking?

He’s an idiot who got in office and blundered every aspect of things since he was elected. Definitely will be one and done

 

[Devo182]

Lol sure. Nothing to do with spread floor offenses and extreme closeouts and 1on1s.

Just coach defensive effort in the nba and you could be a gamechanger head coach

You said you don't watch the nba, now I believe you.

I watch enough. The effort is not there. It appears many in this thread feel the same way.

Years ago? Sure.

The NBA stopped being worth watching when they stopped playing defense. Watched the first half of the Warriors and Lebron Cavaliers a couple of years ago during game 1 of the Championship series Switched the channel to the Travel channel at halftime in disgust. What a joke the NBA has become.

And you still don't get how athletic and spread the game has become. Otherwise, a team could just play defense and win it all. Whoops.

Keep hating bball. I'll keep watching my VOLS. Smdh...

They would be begging someone to give them a challenge.

I understand the change from the classic 2 g, 2 f and center standard. There is still a lack of effort. Guys do not play with intensity on defense and they are more athletic on the defensive side of the ball too. Your argument fails.

You can quit watching, years ago, for whatever reason you like. And accept you gave up years ago. Just don't pretend to understand the game simultaneously. You clearly fail to understand modern college and nba basketball and its defense. It is a harder game to defend than ever before. Extremely athletic and spread offensive schemes and players rule the day. This ain't a bunch of big men sitting in the paint any longer...

Exactly why I love seeing Tobias, Grant Williams, guys like Admiral and Jrich. Guys are versatile and fun to watch. Your choice if you ignore them, but don't demean them and what they are a part of!!

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Donated this morning @engineerVOL. Figured since I thought I donated 4 times last night I'd go ahead and give that. Gotta stay in the big man's good graces. Little over halfway there, let's keep this going VolNation.

[Weezer]

Remember 2004 when LeBron and the rest of the men's national team crapped the bed and ended up winning bronze at the Olympics? Michael Jordan would never have allowed that to happen. GOAT.

Kilts are fine, can't stand Colbert. BTW, that looks like a kilt-culotte

His rearranging his furry thing made it hilarious...sorry that Colbert ruined it for you.
