Recruiting Football Talk VII

[knoxvol52]

We did

I will say it . I believe Igor might be better than Lanier next season or at least just as important to the Basketball teams success.

Next year's team will have way more options to score, they were good this past season but we all knew who the go to guy was.

For those of us "dating" sports, baseball is the most fickle and cunning of all women. The fact is that Tennessee ( and not just UT) is winning in everything right now and all those looking down their noses at us forever can suck it.

My nephew plays on a travel ball team, who's coach is Will - a former TN player.

Man, their schedule is nuts. 95° heat, feelin' the heat from the rubber field. Crazy, these dudes get after it. Non stop.

He was reposting his 2019 post about committing to UT................

oh, someone said he was coming back. my bad.

 

[volbeast33]

isnt class coming in top 5?

Plus we don’t know which of our younger players will be studs next year…. Tears had all of 2 HRs last year.

UCONN use to run a similar system to us… changed it to a european style which has players open all the time… all he really changed recruiting wise was that he wanted everyone being able to pass the ball…. Copy is and let’s go get a basketball championship as well.

UConn has talent...it's not just system...it ain't the only freaking system that works.

Something like this?

C: Transfer or Peebles
1st: Transfer
2nd: Transfer or Incoming Freshman
3rd: Curley
SS: Transfer or Antigua
LF: Transfer
C: Ensley (I think he comes back)
RF: Transfer

Starters: Russell
Bullpen: Snead, Causey, Combs, Loy, Behnke

If TV can get Seibert, Kuhns, Krenzel, and Strickland here, that will be huge for pitching. All those guys throw mid 90s

If he can get Levi Clark here then I’d start him at catcher next year.

That’s a lot of transfers. Something tells me we have more starters on the roster already. Also, best recruiting class yet coming in.

I think what was missing lats year was multiple scorers. Getting multiple guys open is great, but you still have to shoot the ball. Uconn could score on multiple levels, at any time. Traffic or no. Credit where its due.

Exactly

Exactly up you can run a system but you better have the players.

Glorious feeling in the airport this morning sporting my power UT dark mode polo parading in front of all the gumps and MSST necks having to take it all in and realize/digest we aren't going anywhere and are truly an everything school. Caught one MSST neck shaking his head... shake all you want, didn't see you in Omaha...

Hence my point. You hope these new guys are upgrades. Are they CT level?

I think the big and Lanier are huge upgrades. One of SG's will need to step up behind Lanier. Desperately need a mid range or 3 shooter.

We'll win games. Man, had Santi not hit a career slump, what coulda been.

Kinda like the MLB Homerun record. Everyone knew Bonds was juicing but still no asterisk in record books, unless they changed it.

There needs to be for that...at least some kind of acknowledgment in the record books that records from that era were tainted.

Vescovi never adapted to his role I truly believe. Plus losing a family member before season seems to really shook him.

How many times did we beat them?

9 straight

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I personally think once you hit HS, then you should be required to use a wooden bat.

Best way to get someone ready for the highest level. Best way to judge someone’s actual hitting skills.

I don't give a runny about pro baseball...I love College Baseball now...so leave it the heck alone...it is exciting as heck....leave it alone.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Are you freaking kidding me? He's coming back!!!?????

BOOM!!!!!

I thought that was an old tweet. Holy crap hope it holds true. The love for this team program university is real af.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Agree 1000 percent.

Why?...you wanna see boring games with few runs and few homers..wtf is wrong with you people?...why you wanna fix what ain't broke?...ESPECIALLY FOR US?

Y'all make ZERO sense to me.

He doubled down when called on it after the Vols made the CWS and said “it’s still a failure unless they win it all.”
