Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Weezer]

Those poor dumb kids that signed with them instead of us...too bad, so sad for you..

Maybe that's where all our Springtime transfers will come from.

 

[BigSteve09]

the fact they did that with a site bonus is *chefs kiss*

THAT's how you burn a bonus

Tennessee football is only SEC team retaining all assistant coaches

Baron got $300,000 in his NIL deal.

$300,000 for being mediocre as mediocre gets.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Wow holy cow. Times sure have changed. I would do anything short of a crime for 300k a year

It is insanity or pure stupidity...or both.

So do you think Verse would have been worth more?

I wonder what Barons stats would have looked like playing an FCS schedule….. that’s not saying verse isn’t going to be good though.

 

[mrmax86]

That has to suck as a florida player/coach/fan… constantly having the other team mock your stupid chomp right in your face after you get beat. It happens all the time lol

Comes with the territory!

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Where'd that info come from?

And for the deniers, I thought our NIL sucked and we aren't doing anything?

We gave 300k to a player that could not stay on the field last year and is not on any NFL draft radars. Lets pump the brakes.

For those that had given well wishes or thoughts and prayers for my aunt's battle with Covid, very appreciated but unfortunately, at much too young, she passed on last night. The resulting complications just multiplied to more than she could handle.

I would request those uplifting thoughts/prayers be passed along to her husband, kids, my mother and her other surviving siblings.
Thx in advance and always remember to take the opportunity to tell those you love, how you feel.

It doesn't matter what I think about Verse..I do think they believe Pearce is going to be pretty good.

Sorry for your loss.

A vast majority of the guys on this roster are going to be getting money. Just the nature of it now. I don't know why it's that big of a deal. If 10k people pay $19.51, that's $195k to go around...per month. There are obviously others willing to pony up more.

 

[Weezer]

Just a question. You said something earlier about Verse not being worth big money, so I was curious if you thought he might be worth more than Baron? Didn't even bring Pearce up.

 

[Weezer]

Any idea what time today we'll know if Robinson enrolled or not?

dude does that and I can't even win an over/under bet.

Good. I have time for a nap.

I brought Pearce up...think about it...think about it..

I never said Verse was worthless, I did imply that a bunch of guys losing their f'n over him was ridiculous.

I don't know what the staff thinks...just trying to understand. It is fairly obvious to me that they highly valued West and Pearce and were willing to go high on them to land them...Verse maybe not so much.

I don't know about Baron, I see flashes from him, but I don't know why they valued him that much other than it was late and they didn't want to lose him at that point.

Trying to understand all this gives me a headache.

 

[orange parmejohn]

Are you spending other people's money again

This thinking is why Tennessee has sucked for 15 years. Just blindly trust the rich people to make all the decisions.

 

[bigorange]

 

[orange parmejohn]

I disagree...I think RG knows his value far better than I do. I thought he was somewhat over-rated to begin with. I think a lot of the blowup here over Verse is because of people like you that went all in on his rating.

Disclaimer...I am not saying I didn't want the player, just that I don't think he is worth all the overwrought VN teeth gnashing his going to FSU caused.

Notice we took West from them....that should tell you something about his valuation.

I know 2 things for fact. They recruited him. We had no pass rush last year.

Exactly Baron would dominate that level. He has shown he can be a playmaker at SEC level if he can stay healthy and keep foot on gas.

Weren’t you stressing about him leaving?

PWO?
