Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Batman1948]

For the food discussion: I have a rule that you can’t judge a place completely without eating there 3 times. Up until then, you either had a good or bad experience at a place, but it takes 3 times to get a consensus.

I can't do that. It doesn't matter what the situation but if I have a bad experience or just don't like something about the first visit, I just won't go back. My wife says I'm nuts .

 

[NMVol]

My inclination would be that Steele is not interested, but we’ll see.

What's not to be interested in when you are under contract?

AP is not optimistic about us landing these in state players. CJH too late to the party

Still having withdrawals from his Pruitt tit milk and Danny White plugging the leaks.

Maybe AP will be in a better mood after his mom brings him a snack.

How did we miss this? Georgia scoring defense vs AP 25 with Pruitt as the DC in 2014 & 2015.
From 1st in the SEC against AP 25 in 2014 to dead last in 2015. Wow.

Georgia net ppg 2015 - LMAO - Mark Richt had truly lost control.

We need something like our 2016 high scoring offense paired with our 2015 low scoring defense and a head coach that likes to be very aggressive on defense and we can be in business. Oh wait, yeah, you know what, that's what I heard JH likes to do on defense. This could get interesting. jmo.

The difference in your 3rd chart (net scoring) and seeing the trend under Butch (until the 2017 disaster) and CJP is staggering. CBJ had us going up and up bigly his first 4 years.

CJP we just sat there near the bottom...

I’ve at least heard of most people who cover Tennessee sports, but I’ve never heard of Cole Calhoun. I don’t want to click on the article to find out, but who does he write for?

I’m sure we are behind right now but we haven’t even begun spring practice. We have 10 months until December.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

If Tennessee is 'too toxic' for a DC...

then why not hire Kevin Steele? it makes no ****ing sense to me.

Tennessee football, rejected by Bryan Brown, is too toxic for elite DCs

Lmao...if we were really going after Brown....wtf are we doing?
2019 his defense gave up 37ppg in 12 games.

This past year they gave up 29.3 in 10 games.

It will be very difficult. We have a historic program and great facilities but other teams have more to offer. They do not have the NCAA breathing down their backs.

 

[Nuctech777]

Kingsport though

You don’t like Kingsport, we get it.

Apparently most of the in state guys are already close to making a decision. not sure why. They haven't even been able to visit anywhere

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

Well this is an opinion piece. It is most likely that Heup has more options than what Cole Calhoun knows about.

This is why you don't like leaks. Oh this didn't work out. He must have rejected them. Let me talk about how bad Tennessee is and won't be able to find a coach. Was there any fact at all in that write up?

He literally said it's hard to know how far the talks got. He knows nothing and is writing it from a place of fact. It's nauseating and bad journalism.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I just don't think the NCAA stuff is gonna be that big of deal. We investigated ourselves; we turned ourselves in; we publicized everything that happened, and then we fired the whole staff. What more do they want? And if they tried, just hold up a picture of Will Wade and move on. I would issue a bowl ban for this season and tell the NCAA to mind their business because we took care of ours.

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

Hey nothing against Kingsport but i've been in the tricities since 01 and if I had to choose between JC and Kingsport it isn't even close. Kingsport does have a nicer Target.

 

[BruinVol]

So dumb

 

[Jackcrevol]

No tacos stand up to White Duck.

Authentic street tacos ftw.

Makes sense.

Most of these cats are being recruited by top tier programs that win consistently, meanwhile we’re on our 6th HC since 2008.

Tbh I’m not sure how we ever land any elite prospects (besides McD’s bags of cash).

 

[Jackcrevol]

That Target's days are numbered. Dick's just shut down...the ownership is planning East Stone Commins phase 2, yet, has about a 75% vacancy rate.

It's not the choice between the two it's the disrespect calling it a cesspool.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Not had that. Will be in Charlotte next week so might check it out

nice. Original in river arts district, Asheville is goat.

 

[Batman1948]

Where do you think the riblets come from?

Little piglets

 

[Jackcrevol]

It's not the choice between the two it's the disrespect calling it a cesspool.

wow, dredging up some old takes. Kingsport City needs to take some serious steps back and look at overall picture. You live and die by Eastman and Domtar. People who work at Eastman play and live in Johnson City, Jonesborough, and Gray.

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

Ah. I have never said that. I have several good friends that are from and live in Kingsport. Now I do joke with them that it has a funny smell.
