Recruiting Football Talk VII

[TN-POSSUM]

Easy cause Lakers fans love winning. 17 banners and one in season Tournament banner.

17+1...... Well that's 18 claimed Championships.


Now they're "even" with Boston again.

 

[Volnut]

Lakers take 'bronny'. Ugggg...remind me what he did in college?

He wore the name James in his jersey.

My predictions for the Vols.
Barnes at least makes another Elite 8 this coming season and possibly even a final 4.

The Heup makes his first ever playoff appearance under Nico. 10-2 regular season.

Kim Caldwell will have the Lady Vols finish as a top 3 team in SEC year 1. Take it to the bank. Bring it Lucy

Tony V will have basevols back in Omaha next season even after all of the departures.

I'm down with that....

My hot take/s: '25 baseball team will be more talented than '24

Nico will be in New York for the heistman

We make the final 4 in football

Barnes & Caldwell both get titles (natties, connies, or both) . . . ((in honor of @bignewt , I believe "conference title" should be referred to as a conny from now on))

Many of you know from the "Football Talk" thread, but there are a lot of posters who mostly stay in the recruits' threads and would like to know that @SweetasSoda has passed away after a sudden onset illness of about a month's duration. She posted in threads often and had many friends here. I don't want to post to every thread, and decided this would be a place where nearly everyone would see this message.

She called herself "the captain of the cheerleaders," and she was surely a bright, loyal, enthusiastic lover of Tennessee athletics, football and football recruiting most of all. A "Go Fund Me" account has been set up to help her family with funeral arrangements, if you would like to contribute. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers. It would probably be best if anyone who wanted to remember her in a brief message use the "SweetAsSoda GFM" or "Football Talk" threads, so recruits' thread are not run off-course.

Hi all, I've set up a GFM for our beloved cheerleader SaS, R.I.P. Our goal is 7k to help her husband and family with funeral expenses. Also feel free to share any memories of SaS here. Thanks all. https://gofund.me/af51e761

This makes no sense having been moved here from one (and only one) recruit's thread in order to notify people who knew Sweet from her frequent posts in the recruits' threads but who themselves don't post here. Sorry it is out of place now. Not my circus.

In good company. Good to be routinely considered again after 15 years of bowl uncertainty

 

[allvolrecruiting]

Yeah they beat SMU for their QB and beat out Nebraska for a LB recently and got a bunch of “predictions” for others, they are a recruiting juggernaut some would say

That QB they flipped from SMU just won Elite 11 and is going to be a massive riser lol

12th is pretty pretty good for a team without a top 25 offense.

 

[volbeast33]

Tony surely does. I have read that Tony taught Elander hitting and coaching hitting. That's grounds for optimism in the long run, but Elander is his own motivator and dog. Our nutrition and strength coaches are first class too. Part of our package. Elander is recruiting coordinator, too.

VolReport - How Josh Elander helped turn Tennessee baseball around

Josh Elander has played a pivotal role in helping Tony Vitello turn Tennessee's baseball program around.

tennessee.rivals.com

Josh Elander - Baseball Coach - University of Tennessee Athletics

THE ELANDER FILE Personal Information Hometown: Round Rock, Texas College: TCU, 2016 Coaching Experience 2016: TCU, Student Assistant 2017: Arkansas,

utsports.com

He brought Elander to teach his philosophy with hitting…. TV was the reason I was so excited when he was hired… His philosophy with hitting and pitching is what it takes to be great. It has surpassed my expectations and they were very high when Tony took this job If/when Josh moves on…. TV will replace him with someone that shares that philosophy. I hope when Frank decides to retire that we create our own pitching lab.

Good ole ACC man.

With a version of Nico that lives up to even 50% of the hype, Tennessee would dog walk FSU, Miami, and Clemson.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

He’ll win but the expectations of following Saban is through the roof.

Will not be the same as the PAC 12.

Anything less than a playoff appearance, he’s a goner.

 

[GoodTimeVol]

Oh my god a QB won the elite 11 that must mean he will automatically be elite at the next level like blake barnett was

@Orange. Do you mind posting this to the FF? I was going to, but this feels perfect if you'd like to do the honor

I couldn't say what I said above from personal recollection like you did, but one of my points was that Tony not only trained Elander as a coach,
TV taught hitting to Elander as a player. JE is Tony's hitting philosophy and technique personified.

I've read that Tony is asking for a big plie of money for his assistants.

Horror movies as a teenager scares most people. Horror movies at 53 years old is like why did I watch this crap.

Saying that Wrong Turn probably my favorite of all times.

Friday the 13th got ridiculous after so many.

Loved Wrong Turn. Didn't hurt I had a huge crush on the main girl.

No, but one of our guys got an early red, so it’s 11 on 10.

Agree, he's a 8-4 season or maybe even 9-3 season away from a moving van parked in front of his house.

those cork soakers didn't think we had a top 25 offense OR defense

nor a top 10 environment

 

[knoxvol52]

No, but one of our guys got an early red, so it’s 11 on 10.

Well it's 2-1 Panama now.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Well it's 2-1 Panama now.

It would be a bad loss with Uruguay on deck.
