Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

It would also be nice to not have to face all time great teams and players in the elite 8. That could help too.

Exactly why regular season is key...get that 1 seed and win the whole damn thing!

What happened to the Kentucky commit? We move on?

seems like they have? i love his film but perhaps they are looking for more of a blocking te hence the Elmore offer?

Not sure I'd say "upgraded" at least from a production standpoint...I will say we've got as talented as a PG with a bit better scoring skillset and size.

Ja'Kobi shouldn't be a fall off at PG...and he really should be an upgrade as a scorer from that spot.

It'd be hard to upgrade anywhere over ZZ except scoring. Conducting the offense and penetrating > distributing were as good as I've seen in college in a long time. But ya, his scoring wasn't as consistent.

 

[Go Fight Win]

also we don't have a thread up for Elmore yet ? we are getting lazy (i say from my chair, not ever making a player thread)

We’ve crushed portal recruiting for OL. That’s the only reason I say grab the rest form the portal.

Yep, but they might have the dudes on roster to start next year and it's harder to attract OL portal targets without starting spots.

Potentially next year you could have these guys starting (all 5 on roster currently)

LT - Sanders
LG - Sham
C - Sam
RG - Satterwhite
RT - Perry

We also have a 5 star OT coming in, but I think if they feel like they need to add a starter to the OL next year for whatever reason they'll 100% go to the portal. If they're adding anymore HS guys it's for development, imo

Re-posting this so more eyes see it. Please help if you can.

Wow. What a story. So much struggle. Donated.

I think so. I don't recall what happened.

Man at work is trying to talk me into going to see those crazy cars in Pigeon Forge this weekend. "Stanced". You ever seen them?

altho i just watched elmore's tape and he's pretty athletic as well, he plays QB and safety (!) for his team. i like the film seems like a late bloomer

I bet a lot of St Louis Rams fans have changed teams. I'm sure many still support them in LA but probably just as many bitter they left.

I'd immediately dump that team. It shows that ownership doesn't give a crap about fans. One of the reasons I'm less passionate about pro sports. But hey, now they can root for the Chiefs.

Statistically rebounding & scoring would be the main two...Ja'Kobi throughout his career has been strong in those areas. I think the assists numbers won't be matched, usually with a score first PG ya don't see 7+ APG. Could happen though, just from the talent around him this year...BUT that might also be why the assists numbers are lower.

What I'm excited about is 13 on scholarship and being able to scrimmage 5 on 5. I think this team will be deep enough to spread minutes out a lot better than previous years.

Apparently Syracuse has an 8th year senior on their roster: https://cuse.com/sports/football/roster/david-reese/24657

If you look at his 247 page, he was first offered by Miss State... in January 2016. Dan Mullen still had two seasons left in Starkville at that point.

This guy's recruiting cycle and collegiate career has spanned a full decade.

Surely Joey swaguilar can get another year if this aarp member can still play.

We're winning a title in the next 2 years

This year. Dude will be a one and done.

Well, just another feather in Barnes' cap...now has the highest rated recruit in TN history.

He gets a Final Four and ya'll will NEVER have an argument against him not being the best HC in Vol history....by ya'll I mean @mr.checkerboards

Tony Basilio hosted an Arkansas sports writer yesterday who mentioned that the Waltons donate more money to the Mizzou program than to Arkansas.

Several of the Waltons graduated from Missouri and they are originally from there

Elarbee got that room looking right. OL should be good for a few years for sure. I think we see Satterwhite at center and Sam at guard. But who knows?!?! Plus maybe a surprise comes along next year with a year (Perry came out of no where to be one of our better players).

Whoever does our scouting is on top of it. We always seem to find people early or missed before anyone else.

Everyone is misinformed. Government only wants power and to retain power. Red, blue, no matter. We are all pawns and it makes me laugh when either side says one is misinformed.

You went and done it now...

My ex- wife called me 3 months ago and asked me if I would take a kitten, I said yea bring it. She brought me a pretty Orange Tabby kitten and I struggled what to name him.. well after a couple of weeks he stole Cheetos out of a bag I had laying on the chair... Then it hit me, Cheetos is his name.

Nancy Walton Laurie, daughter of Bud Walton, went to the University of Memphis, along with her husband. They donated millions to Memphis for the newer basketball facility that is named after them.

This team could be legit championship material

Ok, I have the gofundme up. I would really appreciate it if people could share it:

MY STORY: Some of you already know my story but others may not so here goes... In … J Lee needs your support for Help Rebuild a Life After Tragic Loss

gofund.me

And is there a place where I can post this here where it won't get lost?

ETA: Also it's long so if you just want to see my goals and needs scroll down (it's in a bolded section).

Donated. Best of luck. Keep your chin up, you got this. And may his memory forever be a blessing to you.
