Recruiting Football Talk VII

[PlanetVolunteer]

Tobias = only in college because he had to be with his size and game he could have been straight from HS but NBA had removed that option.
Springer = needed some development
Keon = needed to show how much of a freak athlete he was on a big stage
KC = was going to be a 1st round pick UNLESS he sucked majorly or had a terrible injury, his size wasn't going to change so improving his draft stock wasn't going to just happen. He as a player would have developed and gotten better, but also face the risk of injury
Julian Phillips = honestly probably the one that needed to develop his game the most, but his only year here was full of injuries so very risky to return he's young and on an active roster getting live NBA minutes so he'll be able to develop and with how the NBA is set up far lower risk of injury

See I already forgot Julian Phillips existed.

They both are under contract and have already made 4-5 million plus

I wish I had that much

Not too shabby

For most of us living under that limit would be sweet indeed. Not sure what that has to do with their rank in Vols history tho.

That's the problem. There's no such thing. It's at...EVERY level..of every sport.

NBA fans hate refs more than any league I've seen.

You can't teach humans to see the minutia from 15 feet away at 100 mph. We have major perception limitations in the areas critically needed for reffing. Now add in natural human (implicit) biases and off we go.

Athletes getting bigger, faster, stronger only continues to amplify the issue.

Simple as that.

We will hate the computer refs as well.

Fans shouldn't have to spend more money to fund NIL on top of what they already spend when CFB generates billions of dollars every year.

Another elite scheme by the Unis/NCAA.

It's pathetic.

I first saw this posted on Facebook and people in the comments in a sports group were agreeing with him.

Good lord help these stone age people

More power to them. Just don't appoint them head of NASA.

Hacked by Bama bots.

They've be in for a rude awakening.

At some point they need to round up some of these flat earthers and take them to space so we can watch their reaction.

Haha true.

But at least then we'd likely be wrong, unlike now. It'd be able to show exactly why it was called...zoom in...give details and proof. And if wrong, it can be instantly improved by teaching it what it shouldn't call, by using the example.

Unlike now where it's just

So Kennedy leaving after 1 season hurts his place on top PG status.
Although some are hanging Knecht jersey in rafters and retiring it after one season

Well, Knecht is being talked about as NPOTY so that puts him in a different category.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

In the FF forum they have a poll about Fulmer's legacy.

Good

Neutral

Poor

I can't even....over 100 people total have voted neutral or poor. Just utter irrational hatred for absolutely no good reason.

His point was he didn't believe in other planets and stars because he's "very religious".

Now...I don't claim to know what religion he identifies with...nor what the Theravada or Bhagavida says about outer space on top of many other religious or mythological texts.

But at least for the Jewish tradition, god is said to have created all the stars...

Or anything that requires rational thinking.

Knecht iso is a great answer to having one of those games though. We haven't had that in awhile

He is awesome...but even awesome players have bad games.

He probably just saw some dumb pseudo intellectual video online and went "oh damn bro, that's crazy!" Then believed it because he likely has never been curious about anything intellectual in his entire life so he has no concept of anything.

I've met a good number of people like that lately. People with ZERO curiosity about the world. They literally don't know sh*t. Some people's issues are how they are brought up and the environments they grow up in...but at the end of the day all it takes is some curiosity.

Breaking news….there is a capsule that has landed on the moon’s surface and sending pictures back to earth . It certainly appears the earth is round! Back to previously scheduled programming…..

Your worship of machinery is irritating.

Looks like Baseball game is a go..

This is ...most, well maybe not most, but huge amounts of people are too stupid to care about anything. There is no excuse for it unless you are a Gump level intelligence.

You're literally typing from a computer or phone right now

‘Cause he’s done so well in relief, he deserves a chance as a starter.

Was partially a joke, but it's partially true too. Research proves it out.

On the extreme - if you were born in the wild and had to spend night and day just surviving, there wouldn't be much time for other activities. When survival is paramount, it takes up your brainspace and time.

Meanwhile, the most privileged...have too much time on their hands

Take away their ability to vote and procreate.

More power to them after that.
