Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Agreed. But Ian Anderson is a stud and if he is on, y’all won’t hit much either. I bet we like our chances to get a few more hits at home in a rowdy crowd than you all. Plus we rested our main bullpen to go for this next game.

All solid points…but facing the dodgers hitting lineup twice..they’ve seen your stuff….Braves issue back to back years has been the bullpen..they will have to prove to me they can close…dodgers hitters are just that good..and I don’t like a rookie being on the mound if I’m a braves fan.also

“Of the 45 previous teams to have won Game 5 after trailing a best-of-seven series 3-1, 20 then forced a Game 7 (44%). Of those 20, 14 (70%) completed the comeback and won the series.”

Ya just never know bro…..Go Sports

 

[UTSuave’]

Yep…. Win 106 games and have to play a 1 game playoff…. SMH

Absolutely dumb…just like the base runner on second in extra innings..

I bet you would have been in love with him if he came to UT after high school.

Don’t speak for me…respectfully…I didn’t know who he was until he got to Oklahoma.

People don't even ask me "why" I'm a Tennessee fan. They ask me "how" I'm a Tennessee fan. Pisses me off. Like "How can you be a Tennessee fan?!"

Because fandom shouldn't come from popularity. 3 generations deep of Vol fans (1950s) and 2 generations of grads (one student-athlete). Grad myself. That's how.

Grad - makes sense
from the state - makes sense
born into it - makes sense

your Bama fandom traces back to 2007 or later? - gtfo
don't have a Bama fan in your immediate family but you're a Bama fan? - gtfo
Can't name 5 academic buildings on campus? - gtfo

We have 1 QB on the roster next year. Hooker.

Joe is next level horrible.
The staff will never trust Bailey.
The true freshman really needs a RS year.

Rattler headlines the worst QB class in history. He’s not good. Attitude problem as well. If Heup wants him that’s fine, but we don’t “need” no him. There will be plenty of other options in the portal.

 

[BigSteve09]

Rattler hired an agent literally at midnight of the NIL going live, because he was planning on lighting it up at OU and going pro immediately following this season.

Obviously that isn't happening now.

If Rattler comes here, it's because Hooker has left for some reason (doubtful), or because he's humble enough to ride the bench for Hooker's last season, and put his NFL plans on ice for TWO YEARS.

All of this is really hard to envision.

I do think we should continue to go to the portal for QB depth and experience. I think that's a good idea. But this guy? I dunno.

I’m not optimistic bro..as much as I love my dodgers we are just hurt and wore out…our hitting lineup in my opinion is pieced together anyways..kershaw being out also F**ks up the rotation…we’ve just had to over come a lot and no other team in baseball (in my opinion) could have overcome the odds and get where the dodgers are today…yea!..we’re defending World Series champs and everyone expected us to be here but the giants were REAL!…the cardinals were HOT coming in..reality is just sitting in and I’m ok with that.dodgers have had the toughest road…I’m just happy to see the dodgers making the braves earn it….just BEAT THE F***K OUT OF HOUSTON!..is all I ask.

Injuries are a part of it. We have not had Solar because of Covid. Our very productive lead off man. No Acuna and no Soroka and Anderson missed a chunk of time as well. Travis is hurting even now from his thumb and you could see it on a swing last night. Ynoa has not been the same since his stupid injury where he slugged a wall. It's all part of baseball and the Braves are dealing with missing talent as well with a much smaller payroll than the Dodgers.

I thought you followed recruiting. Everyone knew who he was because he was a 5 star do everything high school QB and UT would have loved to sign him.

I understand your frustration but I am old school and remember when you had to win your division to go to the playoffs period. In the NL West when it was two six teams divisions, the Dodgers would've been sitting at home. Has to have some value in winning your division especially when you play those teams the most.

That’s pretty much where I’m at. When freeman (who, in spite of my inclination to hate him because he’s a brave, I just can’t help but have the highest amount of admiration/respect for him) hit the homer last night I was like “OK just put us out of our misery and end this thing”. Our offense is just so hot or cold…it always feels like we’re either going to score 8+, or less than 3.

Found us a 2nd QB to take in this class...

Jack Leons from Niles West in IL.

I’m not completely discounting what you are saying, but when Acuna got hurt y’all were able to do some things to help with it. For us, losing Kershaw, Muncy, and J Turner in the last week of the season/playoffs, we have no opportunity to try to replace them.

Edit: and lost Joe Kelly last night…Roberts said he doesn’t think Kelly will be back this season.

I'm out totally on Milton for the time being but it wouldn't necessarily shock me to see him as a decent QB 2 years from now under Heupel. Not sure if fixing that IQ is something Heupel can do but he has all the physical assets to be a great QB.

I preferred the old system better honestly…. It would have been the Brewers versus the Giants for the right to go to the world series…. 3 divisions waters some of the divisions down too much…. Of course I just preferred baseball period from the 80’s…. It’s been a steady decline ever since, imo.

Ole Miss seems like a better fit honestly with Corral leaving

I didn’t know they made cleats like that in the 60’s.

I don't give a damn about the whole state of Alabama!

I can’t get over that video someone posted from his HS senior year. I would have kicked his ass if he was on my team. I suspect that probably has happened a few times by those At Oklahoma

Is it in this thread?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

AP been hinting at the Crawford stuff. I think you have to make the move even if Crawford struggles you need to see what he gives you being more athletic than Dayne vs the Bama folk. Davis play really hurt several drives.

We had better give help to Crawford…#31 for Bama is a terror off the edge. I hope Darnell matches up with him some. I really want to see how he holds up against an elite edge guy. I am impressed how much he has improved.

 

[SSVol]

I don't think it's too far off to say we're cursed in football.

Wouldn't a curse be related to spiritual powers? Seems like from your perspective that would be a pretty heavy lift.

The Braves can argue that they have overcome just as much to get where they are.

That clip is from QB1 on Netflix. Rattler's part is pretty stacked with that kind of stuff.

And he got suspended his senior year. From a conversation on another site:

With all the talk of Spencer Rattler getting benched, it got me wondering why he was suspended on QB1 once again. I've been wondering why for years now and this is not a question that can be answered with a Google search. Pretty impressive they've kept it under wraps this well for so long.

Here's what we know.

*He was ruled ineligible for football participation for violating a district code of conduct

*He was not suspended from school

*It didn't go on his record

*Lincoln Riley said he wasn't worried about it

*His dad said it did not involve drugs

*Apparently it was an on-campus incident

*He still participated in the All-American game

How can it be that bad but not that bad?

Can anyone answer this mystery?

Nothing has been officially revealed. But there has been a lot of rumors that he got caught getting a b*** j** on school grounds.

That's just the leading rumor, so take it with a grain of salt.

It’s pretty common knowledge at this point that he was getting a b****** from some girl in the bathroom and got caught with his pants down. Kinda sums up his life thus far.

Yea he was caught hooking up with his gf in the bathroom and apparently also had a weed pen on him
