Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

With the roster that Barnes is on the verge of putting together, it’s not to get over the Final 4 hump. It’s to compete for a championship.

He deserves every bit of UT going all in for him.

The Lady Vol forum is mad that Danny White addressed the Lady Vol situation and put a positive spin on it.

They'd find a turd in a swimming pool full of gold.

Those goals are interchangeable, if you think about it.

Didn't @MarcoVol give two examples of men's basketball teams that lost their entire rosters to the portal (because they fired a sitting coach) and that responded with an all-portal team with winning seasons the following year (i.e., this past year)? And better results than the previous year. I seem to remember that, but I can't find it.

Michigan won the  natty with a roster full of transfers.

This seems like the type of negative information a team with a later 1st round pick will put out because they want him but know that he will likely get picked up early.

If that is the case!…F! the system

The entire starting lineup! That is the best example. Strange no one has mentioned that in a certain forum. But there were some returning players on the team.

iirc Marco's example was a team (or two) who lost 100% of their rosters (all of them!) to the portal, and with an all-portal roster stem-to-stern improved over their previous year's results. Both examples are apt.

In the meantime, er-one over there is assailing our AD for supporting their program. While they spend all their time tearing everything down, and creating a toxic site that works against portal acquisitions.

Happens every year, bruh. Also, in case you don't know, the "expert" TV talking heads (whose "insights" and predictions circulate on X) are either stupid or biased or on the take. The first two are no controversial afaik.

I am zen-ing the f out on this one. Letting Juke come to me.

 

[BbwVol]

Idk how it will end, but if we get Harris and Hill, this will be the most talented roster Rick has had here.

This came across my Facebook timeline, kids are now posting about which highschool they should transfer to.

The amount of money and "other stuff" these kids and families are getting @ "some" TN private schools is insane.

 

[knoxvol52]

Should I just stick with #3 in every sport through thick and thin? "Go, #3!" "Get after it, #3!"

I'm practiced: I already stuck with #3 in football through thick (All-SEC) and thin (never played a snap) for 2 years.

Ever what makes you happy...

Finish the portal first and then let’s turn our eyes to this.
