Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

LOL Dave Hooker

He is such a tool. No way I'm clicking that.

 

[SweetasSoda]

For the player, sure. But for recruiting etc it’s better to say we got more of players drafted.

Well, this is true too unfortunately.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He seemed like a nice guy, little dramatic though. Didn’t really notice he was gone

Nobody noticed I've been gone a lot lately and I've been a regular poster here for way over a decade would many notice if you were gone?

It's ok...I'm not popular, it's my fault for being who I am, so it is what it is. I wish Bass would just chill a bit with the off the deep end schtick and come back over.

He seems like he's always doped up on something

His youtube channel is PAINFUL to watch

Doubt it….Hooker would have been running the Pruitt offense.

Hooker would be beaten GA St and BYU in 2019 and we would have won 9 games in the regular season...

We noticed. But there’s been a bunch that have been gone mostly taking a break between spring and fall practice. And everyone is disliked for something by some. I’m the cheerleader that gets on people’s nerves. It’s happened 3 times in 3 days that I know of.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Tbf he isn't wrong. Players just got drafted. No need for media to turn it like they're horseshiz because they didn't like the pick. Just keep it respectful.

But my god does Vrabel look in shock

...if you make a complete crap pick then you deserve every bit of the criticism you get for your stupidity...that is honesty.

I will never understand your generation...you guys absolutely hate accountability in every facet of life.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

After sleeping on it, I hope I have to eat crow one day as a Titans fan.

You won't

I haven't been on a whole lot for the past month or two, but I'd like to think I'd have noticed lol.

I miss @RiotVol but I text to him once or twice a month.

I refuse to think of the possibilities.

We'll hang our hat on this in recruiting.

Since I lived in VA at the time I saw a lot of VT football and I do remember saying out loud to my Tech fan friends that I had wished the Vols had a QB like Hendon Hooker!

I would have noticed and have. But I was thinking a while back you said something about taking a break or something. But you are one of my favorite posters because of your honest, no holds barred opinions and I for one can respect that .

 

[MoCo_Vol]

The beauty of college sports is the school isn’t just going to pack up and move cities. So as a fan you have a feeling of loyalty that the professional teams don’t offer.

That's , McGill !

I was just about to post on you being in the house.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I think it will be a nice tool. Will be interesting how they integrate the ole school "eye test" pre-moneyball type stuff. I'd think you could quantify that to some degree and make it another external input into the algo.

This will become like the stock market has. Whoever has the best algorithms will have the edge.

You guys.. data is only as good as the people who enter it...and no machine can measure desire and grit, and the players that have that are the difference.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Nobody would be complaining if they took Bryce Young as much as they hate AL.

Exactly...I respect the hell out of that kid.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Sure. But even questions towards the GM/HC can come off as "what is wrong with you to pick THAT guy?" Imagine if the media roasted Heupel for who he signed on NSD. Not cool, jmo.

Just seems like a bad look to the players about to play in your very city (guessing mostly local media).

You can be tactful and still get answers without demeaning the guys headed to the team you cover.

"Tactful" = dishonest

In other words..."I suck at my job and picked some dudes that I know are going to REALLY piss off the fan base b3cause the fan base knows they will most probably be complete busts...so please don't bitch at me or them about it...just pretend they were good picks that we are excited about"

The Titans powers-that-be are completely stupidly incompetent, and the franchise deserves what is going to happen to it now...ridicule and disgust in neverending waves for years to come.

Picking Will Levis in this state has got to be one of the all-time braindead NFL front office flops...and that is saying something.

McGill is in da house!

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Well, this is true too unfortunately.

I don't think so. You sell the 2nd Most drafted in 1st 3 rounds. You sell 5 WRs in last 4 years. Recruits see Days 1 and 2. They don't care about being a 5th Rounder.

At least you aren't looking for attention

 

[Orange.]

They are in the state, but they have went completely out of their way to show they are not of this state ever since they have been here by their disrespect of UT players...you are duped.

They are not and NEVER will be the "Tennessee" team...at least not until someone else starts running them.

I don't understand what you mean.
