Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[MoCo_Vol]

Well that new state law also allows universities in TN to pay athletes directly....so they better be cool with whatever brand brings the most money in.

Adidas, Under Armor, Nike, Puma, Reebok, shouldn't matter as the more the university is making off the apparel the more they can pay the athletes.

Yep .... and I always put my buggy in the parking lot cart corral.

i'm sure.

after double parking the dually, in fire zone.

 

[MarcoVol]

They have a lot more money than we do, they can drop bigger bags

The whole point of the switch would be to get our money up. Might not put us in their ballpark but the more we have to spend the better, yes?

What helps most in recruiting is whichever apparel brand gives us the most money

Only if that money goes to the kids. If it's not going to the kids, then it's whatever brand they prefer.

I bet @TN-POSSUM has one of those disabled placards hanging from his rearview mirror so he can park closer to the grocery store..

I have actual handicap tags. What's your point? Do you hate disabled people?

It was sarcasm if it offended you I apologize. I deleted the comment.

If we thought officiating has been bad in the past and if Tn does not comply with comrad Skankey Tn will do well to win any games lol

If they’re going alphabetically, not sure there can even be a next in line.

So you're saying Heupel would have gladly traded Nico away for Joey even if Nico didn't want to go? No way.

And Joey clearly knew where he stood once Nico arrived...

People are trying hard to overthink this.

Folks need to pepper their peaches for a strugglebus season (relative to Heupel's time...would be a great season 2005-2020). Hopefully the defense can repeat their success.

I'll just say it out loud, I think Nico was an overrated/hyped bust.

He's the 2nd QB Heupel has fallen in love with the measurables over the production. It happens, hopefully moving forward we see a better ability to develop these types or a willingness to evaluate them more critically.

True, but old men kinda like to just twist the knob to 4H.

Full disclosure, my truck doesn’t have manual locking hubs.

Sorry, but what does this mean?

He should have played...Gaston or Merk over Nico?

He was still 7th out of 16 SEC QBs...as a 1st year starter. He also outlived and outplayed about every one of the other top-10 QB prospects from his same class lol. Manning still has an opportunity, but he hasn't done anything yet either.

I don't get what Heupel was supposed to do differently.

BaseVols vs Bama Sisterhumpers Wednesday at 10:30 am ET in Hoover.
Thanks for the correction, @knoxvol52

Was involved with a local union for over 30 years. Every contract negotiation started with “nothing in these negotiations can violate federal,state or local laws”
I can’t imagine any contract law attorney allowing his “ clients” to enter into any agreement/negotiations/contracts with a “you obey our rules and regulations and violate your state laws”

I don't get offended. I just want to know why you hate disabled people.

It means that neither Joe Milton or Nico reached the same level of production Hendon Hooker or even Dillon Gabriel (at UCF) did despite being higher rated HS prospects.


Edit: I answered the bold in my original post you quoted. Gotta do better to develop them, it's a lot of eggs in one basket if they don't pan out.

nope.....You've got me confused with a Ford man. They love parking their diesel, king cab, doolly in the fire zone and letting her idle, usually with the exhaust pipe aimed towards the front doors. Buncha jerks.

Who’s to say what the money would be for, for all we know it could just go to construction costs and salaries

I don’t disagree at all. It was easy to fall in love with him in high school but it didn’t translate
