Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Big Orange#1]

Is that we are 5-5 on the road? We can blame the officials but playing .500 ball away from home is concerning in terms of the big dance.

Neutral is different than on the road . I think we lost to Villanova and then beat UNC on neutral court so far this season. And then Memphis cowered out of our other neutral game. Also we are a totally different team with ZZ and the freshman big men coming on at the end of the year.

What’s Ryan saying about Nico

"Wiltfong CB'd him to Oregon. Should we be worried?"

Nothing is imminent in regard to a commitment right now, but there are plenty of people close to his recruitment who think Oregon has some momentum with him at the moment. He’s still scheduled to return to Tennessee this weekend, though, and he plans to go to Georgia next weekend. This upcoming round of visits is important for the SEC teams that want to steal the momentum away from the Ducks.

Me:
"Confidence of 6. You can go read his article...basically they lead because he has visited there with mom. Only place so far. Not about to be for much longer though..."

I wouldn’t completely dismiss it at insignificant. Iamaleava grew up liking Oregon and has viewed that as somewhat of a dream school, and there’s a pretty good Polynesian culture there, including some people he knows.

Definitely don’t think anything is a done deal, though. His trip to Tennessee this weekend is an important one for the Vols, no doubt. He’s going to spend multiple days on campus with his family.

it really does blow one's mind the disparity between home/away records for all the teams, even the best ones. Could it be the biggest advantage in sports?

Yeah, I definitely think basketball home games are a huge advantage for teams. Especially when the teams are close, home team always gets the edge.

We keep offering kids in Florida which I kinda get because the staff has ties there but they’re gonna eventually learn that recruiting Florida is almost a waste of time. Extremely hard to pull kids from there.

Does anyone know what kind of grass they use on campus? Gotta get a one up on the rival neighborhood dads

First and 10: Laugh all you want, but Tennessee is the next elite SEC East beast

 

[Orange Studs]

Does this mean kids that normally go to mccallie or Baylor will start going to Boyd Buchanan to be coached by Rankin?

It would be cheaper for mommy and daddy.

If a psychologist or VR tech could ever help fix this...so rich.

I also wonder the value of practicing in non-home stadium courts. Sometimes when we shoot like garbage on the road...I wonder if we ever go and shoot anywhere but TBA.

You called it, bud. Have been watching for it ever since you posted. Well done.

Thank you bud! YEAH @Bassmaster_Vol WHAT NOW? WHAT NOW? In your face with insider stuff! WOOOOHOOOO! WHOSE YOUR DADDY!



Ok that felt good back to my normal everyday no information posts. HAHA!

I meant to post this before the news came out but when my friend told me that Rakin's son was the trainer at BC then it became a no brainer. lol

It's a fantastic show. It's a prequel to Yellowstone, but I think will just be this one single season. I've never been as emotionally invested in a TV series before.

It’s already been renewed for additional episodes

We also lost to Texas Tech in a neutral court game.

Thanks Devo!

UNC gave up like 49 sacks last year…were talking near the bottom for a power 5 school in allowing sacks.

Presale? Or scalpers gave up some tix.

TM has em for less than $48...doesn't appear secondary market either. Cheaper than Rabbit Rabbit was ($55-$65).

@Ulysees E. McGill and other Yellowstoners…

We decided to postpone our RV trip next year before this was released in part because of expected rising fuel costs.

Barnes figures out how to get these kids to chill and play confident and poised on the road/neutral site and we could make a serious run. Playing on the road/mental is the blaring obstacle right now in our way to the elite 8/final 4
