Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Catbone]

New nugs: Cooper was a full participant at practice today…. That’s huge….. he feels everyone should be good to go this weekend bc he didn’t see anyone limited or notice anyone…. Will know more at walkthrough on Friday…. Hooker practiced…. Looked good and seems like he is getting a better grasp on the offense.

If that's true I'm predicting a W Saturday

If that's true I'm predicting a W Saturday

I should know on Friday at least that the starters are definitely healthy and playing

 

[SpringBokVol]

Let's put that toothpaste back in the tube:

 

[BigSteve09]

Imagine the NIL deal he could get from his optometrist if he has an otherworldly resurgence

Edit: BigSteve’d

Great minds.

Let's go ahead and order all the mock frames. We just have to convince Joe to look like a jackass.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

New nug: I usually wait till I have all the info I can get but this one made me laugh so I wanted to go ahead and share…. No…. This is not any excuse for Joe bc he has played horribly…. Just sharing what I was told….. Apparently Joe is really bad nearsighted…..His contacts had been bothering him so he hadn’t been wearing them…. He is being sent to an eye doctor this week to get his vision fixed

Like bruh come on team docs… lasik only costs 4K and it’s literally a 4hr recovery and only a “2 week supposed to not do anything that puts pressure in your eyes (I didn’t follow this advice)”

Lol how the heck did we not take care of this at the beginning of Fall

 

[SSVol]

C'mon dude...this ain't like buying f'n shampoo..nobody gets emotionally invested in "products"..

Jacket is emotional because he doesn't like what DW does. The ticket price is simply something to complain about. There are great seats all over the stadium that are the same price or cheaper. If DW is over-estimating the value of the new club, the price will get dropped. Yes, it's a market, and yes, it's a product.

 

[tnvols72]

so coaches played someone that can't see? got it

They waited all fall and 4 games into the season and came to the conclusion that Milton is blind ? I dont know if I should laugh or just give up. Maybe that news should have never been let out lol..True or not

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

You are right…. I probably shouldn’t have shared it….. it’s not enough info to know if it has had any effect on the season or not.

Well AP already has been saying stuff about his eyesight today anyway, so don't put that on yourself

Not so sure I buy that nonsense

For Tennessee? Didn't know you were able to do that.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Can you explain to me how he "killed" it in practice all preseason, but his eyes magically go blind during games?

I mean being someone who had contacts and then got lasik it’s a big difference and deal….

Sometimes my contacts were awesome but if I didn’t change them out properly or my eyes needed to breath my vision would get blurry.

Then I got PRK (longer recovery time) which is a little different than LASIK (very fast recovery time) and it was night and day.

So maybe his contacts were pissing him off and he wasn’t wearing them thinking it wasn’t a big deal…. It is a big deal though.

Hopefully it fixes some things for him. We can only hope it does lol can’t be having anymore overthrows and Atleast this will eliminate that excuse.

 

[HankHill]

How many times do you guys need to hear kids talk about the importance practice reports during their commitment interviews before you believe @HankHill?

Those reporters getting 15 minutes each day is CRITICAL to our rebuild.

It’s about the optics. You want everything to be business as usual all the time from the outside looking in. Y’all got on butch about it and said it shows insecurity… what’s the difference?

 

[tnvols72]

Milton showing out in practice was the word but come game time he goes blind?

 

[mrMet]

Cause we’ve had a coach in between Butch and Heupel and at this point just let em do what they want. Just perform on Saturday

 

[Volbucky]

We couldn’t catch the ball even if he did start hitting the receivers.

 

[volsfan_17]

Milton showing out in practice was the word but come game time he goes blind?

Compare the background from the practice/camp videos vs. the backdrop in Neyland on any given Saturday. It's completely different and I think for someone with depth perception problems, it could be a huge issue. The crowd, the lights, standing in the middle of a giant concrete bowl.

We got a good theme going today in here, folks

Lmao.

 

[tnvols72]

The Milton story should have never been posted.

I said the same thing when butch did it. I don't care about the media gripes during the season.

 

[johnfnkelly]

I just don’t understand how @volbeast33 guy was saying Milton hits those in practice and then boom Milton gets in a real game and it’s like he has never thrown a football before.

Wtf kind of mental block is that…. Lol

(Oh yeah what’s the most recent Nolen news)

Everybody who attended practices including former and current players agreed Milton looked like the guy. Price ran a poll among the players and they all agreed Milton would start outside of one player who thought it'd be Bailey.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Got it.

Step 1: Always Keep @Jackcrevolout of the way, with all things football.
Step 2: Obvious… fahr Kodi Burns.

So...Bailey voted for himself?

So this is the story you sticking to ? I am nearsighted as well and wear contacts. Some of what you posted is BS . Depth perception is a problem but the rest is BS.
