Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[VolsDoc81TX]

You and your family will be in our prayers, doc. Our family has dealt with this as many have. We have two nephews who went really deep into it, that were 15 years making it fully out. So its good you are catching this early. They are both very functional and in good places in their lives now with good jobs and families that have solidified despite having many previous relationships and children. One had even lost joint custody rights of his two sons to the drug addicted ex and her family. He now has full custody as his ex lost all parental rights. He has a wonderful wife who opened her arms to the sons and a new baby of their own. He did the work to get clean and be productive, was patient, and it all worked out. His sons have adjusted and are so happy now.

My advice is to not be embarrassed and afraid to discuss it. Seek support from others who have walked the path. Stay vigilant, stay a parent, and somehow someway help the son to know Jesus in a deep, personal way while he rehabs. Ultimately, He is the way, truth and light that will lead him out of the darkness.

Thank you very much

Not embarrassed as much as me being able to put it into coherent thoughts. The emotions of anything happening to your child is on a whole different level from any other issue...

Prayers sent Volsdoc. Get his focus on the future and off the past. There’ll come a time to revisit days gone by and he’ll make amends I’m sure but everyone’s focus needs to be on the future right now. Focus on recovery recovery recovery. It’ll take time but eyes forward...one day at a time. He’ll make it and so will you. Love

Totally agree. Thank you

Bigsby is a monster. Can’t wait for Evans and Brown to get here.

Calling my shot now.

Brown will break the rushing record here.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Really curious to see what our team looks like. We have so many in quarantine that they’ve talked about guys playing both ways and stuff on the podcasts. Will be strange to see

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Also, y’all know they’re going to handcuff Bailey. I have it on good authority that he has made some explosive plays in practice and the coaching staff actually fussed at him for doing it

Wow what a clown show. I just don’t get it

 

[Catbone]

Tennessee is a program that should be on par with Auburn. The difference is they have much better leadership up top. Both teams are shadowed by Georgia and Alabama in the grand scheme of the SEC.

Guess the only explosive plays Pruitt fancies are the Guarantano types. Interceptions for touchdowns.

Then the whole staff needs to start packing.

I think if this season had been full schedule Eric Gray would get very close if he stayed all 4 years.

 

[VOLSONLY]

Agree and they will, just a matter of time now. The problem is the AD will probably wait to long to do it and set us back again

I could but that hence why JG is the starter. HB is a guy that will go outside the system and make scramble plays. JG can't. Pruitt is a system guy and doesn't like it when guys break the mold

PLEASE tell me you jest

 

[Ten_Titans]

Here’s a question....

If you plugged Butch into this team with his best staff, would we be better off than we are now?

If so, you know what needs to be done

Without Dobbs I don't think Butch does any better. Dobbs prolonged Butch's tenure by two years.

I hope they don't screw this up and also don't pull him because of a bad play or plays. He will recover and it won't overwhelm him. Two years ago we played Grayson who was nationally ranked and everything that could go wrong did. It was 35-0 before Bailey almost brought us back. We lost 38-31 and almost tied it at the end. Just let him play

Good afternoon, all. Haven't paid any attention to Vol Football for a few weeks. What's the scoop on the team? A lot out due to COVID?

 

[Johncarter53]

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Intresting but I like it

 

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

Happy for Coop. Think he’ll do well today

 

[Kingston Vol]

Oh no

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

PLEASE tell me you jest

I do not. Word is he made a throw in practice that JG could not make, the result was a long TD. Chaney was not happy that he made the play.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Why tho?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Another hot take. I want to see Calvert start at RT and Jahmir start at LT.

 

[GojiraVol17]

Intresting but I like it

They’ve worked together a lot I’m sure. You’ve gotta know what you’re doing with that snap exchange and cadence. I bet it’s a good combo. Coop is tough af

I remember that game. He had an amazing performance. But lost because Gilbert fumbled. This kid is a winner
