Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[VolGee4]

That's one thing I completely disagree with in the system. It's silly how a team can go from 74th to 77th and is no longer counted in a quad...that is too cut and dry.

Meanwhile, 75 teams is a really wide barometer. Our Q1 teams (which counts up to #75 you say) have been almost all top 20. Our Q1 record is against Q1AAAAA.

Yea, but there have to be parameters somewhere. Q1 is 75 on the road and top 30 at home.

But, I assume the committee gets a bunch of metrics. I would presume that they get it broken down way more than how we discuss it.

With a WR coach, you’re really looking for another recruiter more than anything..

Kevin Beard says, “How hard can it be?”

His family’s home in NY burned down.

Wow, first time seeing this.

I was on board with using NIL to move his whole family to TN and get them jobs. If anything its safer for them and ZZ doesn't have to go back to the Bronx and dangerous situations during breaks.

 

[engineerVOL]

if you said that about the political stuff id agree.

this is a sports message board. if you dont like him, block him. That's what ive done for @InVOLuntary, @Weezer, @engineerVOL, and @Glitch. Those idgits summitted Mt Moran more times that I can count.

You wish you were called to our Moran Summit each year. You need minimum 2x like/post ratio. We ride our Cheagles to the top where Frank holds our super secret meeting.

I was a massive baseball fan during the Maddox, Glavine, Braves years--until the strike, then they lost me.. I got fairly interested when Braves won the World Series but.. meh.

5 more years and he'll be #1. Hopefully he stays another 5 years!

That's with 2 rebuild years and COVID shortening 2 seasons.

I don't know if he'll hit 278, but he's on pace (21 wins a year) he could hit 210 in another 3 years or so. Sitting at 22 with the SECT and March left would sure be nice if he ended this season with a Win

I had no idea I was such a Marxist.

Those who really love baseball will be there when they finish their dumb squabble.

I've got tickets to the first and second rounds of the tournament in Greenville, SC. I'm hoping Tennessee wins out and Auburn drops their next 2. Maybe Tennessee can sneak in as a two and get placed there. Seems like seeing Duke for Coach K's last season is a lock.

@Jackcrevol , we do need an aspiring moran to polish our cheagle saddles and muck out their stalls. It doesn't pay much/anything but it is needed.

Did everyone’s periods happen on the same day of the month….my only point was that the nfl makes bad hires all the time…. As for Burns…. I have no idea if he was a good coach or not but there has been several rumors that Heup was not happy with him as a coach…. No one was surprised when he left to pursue abother position….. As for our we receiver coach….. I’m cheering for Pope….. he seems like a great up and coming coach that is really popular with both the players and recruits…. I am not excited about the other two guys bc I am over bringing in retread coaches and want some new blood in there.

I've been in menopause for at least a decade. The hot flashes make me cranky though.

Vanderbilt transfer Tyler Steen spent yesterday on campus with the staff. He left this morning. He has been quiet so don’t hold out much hope of getting him on the phone. Florida is also making a push for him right now.

this feels like moran elitism.

 

[SSVol]

Yeah, making a splash hire and getting good buzz isn't on Heupel's list. He's confident in his system and finding people who can work and recruit well within it drives his decisions.

The nerve of coach to not consider our needs. SMH.

Incorrect, I believe in freedom of speech but if you post nonsensical diatribes for every post and post 400000 times in a year, I am free click a button to not see the moronic 399999 posts for the 1 post a year that is actually good. I only have a few on ignore but my life is way, way better for not having to sort through their mess. End rant.

 

[volinbama256]

Is there a way for us to have all our NCAA tourney games at TBA? Otherwise............ fify.......

 

[Glitch]

this feels like moran elitism.

Your point?

 

[drvenner]

Every TN fan has the right to The Circle of VN
New hire - "not crowning or defending this guy after 1 good season, this time!"

3/4 of season 1, any subject - "either trust this coach or move along"

Post firing - "I can't believe how long some of you convinced yourselves he was the guy, morans"

Not that I ever participated in such a thing.

What about that one post out of several hundred about a coach or player that turns out to be true that we all proudly quote ourselves on and display to the masses?

Wait a minute...why am I not invited to these meet....





Dammit.

I know I will. I still think they are all churlish little children who don't care about the fans at all.

No argument. Seems that’s the diagnosis for everyone who hits 8 figures net worth.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Are you saying I'm as old as InVOL?

They're going to hire and recruit to the system and the UT way. Instead of being wowed by the name brands, they look for good character, good academics and a good fit for the culture UT has set. If it takes longer to build this way, it's going to take longer and UT will support them while they build and be patient while they grow and develop.

UT leadership is banking on this being a better way long-term, and they're investing in people who will build this sort of foundation and rep the university well. You see it across all UT sports, in the people they've hired, those they retain and the players they recruit. It can be a bit frustrating at times, because certain things would move the needle a bit faster, but they're all-in.

Stupid. Just win

2nd most wins on the road in the SEC. Despite playing the most road games in the conference (11)

 

[MoCo_Vol]

We actually had an interesting schedule this year.

11 True road games
4 Neutral site games (1 was cancelled)

Kentucky played 18 home games and just 12 games away from Rupp (2 Neutral site)
