Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[bignewt]

I don't feel like playing with you today, Newt. Go toss your word salad with someone else.

from the looks of your daily post count no one tosses as much salad as you.

Haha facts. Looks like they are completely shut out from the football office or something. A damn glitch! Yikes.

People always bash VQ team but they always have the most info and still do. Never going to be 100 percent especially in the ones that your only able to get info from one side. He can only go based on what his info tells him. Hell 247 Vols team never has anything to provide info wise unless they get it from their network.

Not hard to accrue posts when you post in multiple forums for 12 years.

Here's what will likely happen. Hendon Hooker will be in the conversation for several post season awards. A WR who is CURRENTLY on the roster will emerge as a star like Tillman did this year. I don't know which one and neither do any of the other Nostradamuses (Nostradomi?) on here. The coaching staff will evaluate and develop the current roster and take their time adding whatever pieces THEY think is necessary. Probably after Spring Ball. VN will continue to accuse them of some form of incompetence or another regardless.

how about a 103 and a half?

 

[tnvols72]

I’m 37, you’re telling me in another decade I’m still gonna be this dumb?

It gets worse and there is nothing you can do about it lol

 

[SpringBokVol]

We have a roster problem

So you don't think this staff actually wanted the guys they've pursued?

And we will probably beat Kentucky no matter what.

I may be speaking for just myself, but I think mist of us when we complain (that aren’t chroicallynegative) are venting with the hopes someone will give us some fresh cope to get us positive.

But if it’s bad cope, we get pissed because it reinforces why we felt bad to begin with. So we start arguing hoping we will either:
- be talked into believing it wasn’t bad cope after all; or
- or someone will eventually give us the cope we were originally looking for.

I’m sure we all know we’re not actually going to help fix the problems we’re complaining about.

Fans on a message board dedicated to a team are going to celebrate the good and complain about the bad. It is what it is.

He's still mad I wouldn't send him nudz.

True. But I honestly think most of us complain as a coping strategy for bad news when we can’t immediately come up with some reasonable rationalization for said bad news.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Sadly the NIL in principle should work well, but in practice the corruption just stays in the game. What I still don't really understand...is how you can pour money into a school as a booster like that without getting something in return.

The owners in the NFL pay what they pay because the revenue they generate finds it's way back into their pocket in excess of what they spend. But I don't see the money coming back out of the school or the college players/teams to the boosters. Or am I just naïve to something else that's going on?

it just gets old. not a fan of complainers.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

You know what’s really gonna blow? Donating to the 1951 club and still missing out on all these players.

Exactly why I haven’t donated yet. Someone needs to show me how these funds are being used, who they target, and how we are landing players. Seems like more deals for current players but how much are they getting? How much can they spend on recruits? Are they spending most of the money on the kids and recruits? Lots of questions before I start pouring money in, but we need to be spending all that money for the best possible players and start raking in some talent. I’m ready to help but NIL seems to be lacking for us so far.

No, I think you’ve pretty much got it. SMU early 80s, but now legal.

How have you lasted here, then?

The best 30 for 30

 

[tnvols72]

Yeah really hate we missed on Neyor.

You can tell from that video with AP that he was gone. Heup might want to use this kid spot for a Defensive player. He has already tried the we will just outscore our opponents thing.

 

[LakesiteVol]

My feeling on losing players to schools with big NIL deals is these rich aholes that talk about loving the Volunteers need to step up to the plate. If they don't, I'm afraid we've seen the best of what Tennessee football will ever be. It's time they do whatever it takes to get us back to where we once were.

 

[bignewt]

being an ahole apparently

 

[Weezer]

Since Neyor was set to enroll, I take that to mean we have at least one scholarship to work with. Wonder if this staff will target another WR, another offensive position, or maybe a defensive player?

 

[tnvols72]

Does anybody else just hate college sports sometimes?

Starting to , this NIL crap was the worst thing to happen. Its going to destroy the game imo
