Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[jave36]

Far more likely they're (ab)using the mental health excuse as a get out of jail free card for a bad decision to choose to skip practice as a hold out for more money.

Seems so simple to just do what you need to do to arm your star qb with the necessary talent.

How telling is the whole WR room leaving end of the season? Biggest roster mismanagement since Butch decided 8 offensive lineman on the roster was enough?

The receivers everyone complained about all season? Those receivers?

 

[drvenner]

One of my favorite players

 

[Enki_Amenra]

“Neyland Rising” has a nice ring to it…

 

[Adam Sandler]

We badly need Faizon to be that dude, because the BVS is almost back in force.

Not almost. And it’s been here since OSU made us look like a group of 5 in December.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Where is Finger Paint when you need him?

New Avi for me.

I decided to keep the last one.



*I put it together weeks ago and forgot all about it.

 

[Revived2002]

Well Nico saved me at least $2,000.

Was planning to splurge on a weekend family trip to Knoxville to see Vols-Georgia, but with the QB and broader roster now in doubt, I have no desire to spend that much money.

Will watch from home, and it will be a gameday decision on whether I’m casually checking the score on my phone or carving out the time to watch it on TV.

Nico today

Sampson led the team to the playoffs.

The QB is the leader. He had the team's support. No doubt that Dylan carried the offense

 

[Adam Sandler]

Just doing some research

Hopes he’s been bulking up. Hard to seem him making it through the season if he’s not dramatically physically different than he was coming out of high school.

 

[Adam Sandler]

JD Pickell mentioned UCLA as a team to watch. Damnit.

Best case scenario

 

[Brillovol]

Anyone else feel like our trauma as Vol fans has prepared us for this moment?

I feel desensitized.

I feel empowered.

 

[rockytop25]

With all this Nico stuff, I wonder how much his negotiation tactics in December hurt us with trying to get other players? Same with Matthews.

I wonder if we didn’t know how much $$ we had to spend because they were so back and forth

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Nico today

I heard that earlier. Finebaum really sounded like a real TN Alumni. I don't like the guy but he was telling no lies during that interview.

 

[Revived2002]

We badly need Faizon to be that dude, because the BVS is almost back in force.

I’m not even at BVS

I’m 50/50 on whether I want to be emotionally and financially invested in college football as a form of entertainment.

What happened could happen to any program in this era, and I’m not sure the product on the field is that entertaining

The playoff was a snoozer last year if we are all honest with ourselves - not 100% sure it gets better from here

[Brillovol]

Nico playing?

My daughter is so done with him that she would make it awful for him if he stepped on the court.

 

[DD4ME]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

I hope all the players across the country are catching the mood from fans absolutely tired of the pure selfishness.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Wow, to even be able to begin to grasp what’s going through Merk’s mind right now.

It was always a possibility, and even likely that Nico would get hurt.

 

[De La Cloobs]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

I hope all the players across the country are catching the mood from fans absolutely tired of the pure selfishness.

This was the moment I realized Nico may be Milton 2.0

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Clausen has been taken... Sorry

Ziegler or Mashack or fine names cause they got that dog in them.

 

[drvenner]

Maybe I didnt word it well.

Let's just move on. Kid may or may not have input into this. Let's just assume he doesn't and its worst parenting in history of, leading this.

I'm not ready to move on. I'm angry about it. Complete disrespect to our entire community and his teammates

Hopes he’s been bulking up. Hard to seem him making it through the season if he’s not dramatically physically different than he was coming out of high school.

You ignoring the warm up videos that are popping up before the spring game? Merk has bulked up a lot. He's built better than Nico.
