Official Jon Gruden Thread IX

[Coastypop]

Thats fine with me. I haven't heard anything like that. You know where that chatter is coming from?

didn't hear it on the net...was talking to a former player who said he knew the Henry family...guy brags a lot so not sure if he really knew, that is why I was wondering if you had heard the same???

 

[Blackmarket803]

Green-5* RB
North-4* WR
Bell-4* DB
Kamara-4* RB
Koheler-4* OL

Those 5 are the most likely to commit when Gruden announces. Based on their interest in the program and "waiting on a hire" aspect to recruiting.

People to watch ( Have interest in the program)
2013 Class
Lawson-5* DE
Ramsey-5* DB
Alexander-4* DB
Crayton-4* DT
Elijah Daniel- 4*DE
Rumph-4* WR (JUCO)
Smith-4* WR (JUCO)

2014 Class (Most likely to commit in the next several months)
Jalen Tabor
Evan & Elliot Berry
Vic Wharton

Again, these are just based on info out there. The top 5 are the most likely to commit instantly, but honestly, it good be a flood gate for the Vols. Gruden could ask someone of these commits currently to look around. We don't know because we are not the coaches.

Are we out of it for Jatavius Stewart?

 

[Jake]

Yea it was in that little strip of shops close to the Pilot.

Yep exactly

 

[VolMaster14]

My friend just bet me 100/1 odds we don't get Gruden. I guess it's not that bad. I'll only owe a $1 if we don't get him

If he's so positive to lay down those odds, shoulda made it a $10 bet!

 

[1world1love]

It was...but I'm having a hard time placing it.

Do y'all remember Harvey Washbangers??

The bar/laundry mat

Hawkeyes was on 17th, right behind where ruby tuesdayvused to be, right on the corner.

 

[Blackmarket803]

I heard today that Henry might be willing to jump from Bama...have you hear anything?

I highly doubt he flips if Green commits to us.

 

[COOKEVOL]

Wasn't Hawkeye's a bar?

Yes. I had a waitress spill a full tray of drinks on me one night.

 

[Coastypop]

Crazy difference, right?

Like night and day...didn't notice so much until I got the new one

 

[UTBasketball2]

You have a wife who graduated from UT. . .you coached there. . .they are offering you more money and better facilities. . .

If it were ever down to us and Arky I feel pretty damn good that it was a split-second decision in our favor.

What I don't understand is the last part, why would he want to do anything for them? He has no connections with them at all. Can they offer him more money? Possibly. But money isn't everything. Especially to someone who values tradition and family like he does.

 

[Poppa T]

That when my brother was there. He was a book worm so I doubt you knew him. Lol

Probably not, unless he studied @ the Tap and ate @ Sam & Andy's. Good times. But he's VOL and your brother, so its all good.

 

[Blackmarket803]

I heard today that Henry might be willing to jump from Bama...have you hear anything?

I would say Walker might be one to keep an eye on.

 

[Jake]

I remember the Lap. That place was the best. Their LIITs were the best!

Dayum...maybe we should start a Last Lap thread

 

[SDV]

If he's so positive to lay down those odds, shoulda made it a $10 bet!

I know, right?

 

[Coastypop]

Something doesn't add up though with him saying no Gruden. There is just so much smoke.

I am thinking he is hearing from same guy I heard from... But that dude may be out the loop with Hart

 

[Mattlock]

He may not be here, but if he's not here I would bet my house and first kid on his not being at Arkansas.

 

[tn4elvis]

I can't even tell you how many Long Islands I made when I was there. Especially pitchers. The pitchers had a 7 count of each liquor.

I still use the Lap recipe for LI's in my bar today!! Fo real!

loved em 2.Jake i use to wk the door some for nickle beer night at the Tap Room.

Baby, as a recruiting guy, with a Gruden coached UT team and cheesecake and captain towelwaive pretty much out at the barn, where would we stand with the Berry bros?

Havent heard that. But I definitely would not be opposed to it. The problem is that Green seems to be Graham's "guy" so not sure how it would work, especially now that Kamara said he will for sure come if Gruden comes. That gives us two elite backs for the cycle.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

So does anyone know what deal is in place for Gruden? I've heard several different ones but none set in stone...Whatever it is, he will be worth every penny.

 

[Mattlock]

I am thinking he is hearing from same guy I heard from... But that dude may be out the loop with Hart

Maybe Hart isn't even in the loop.

 

[RikidyBones]

Will this one work for you?

I have that hot sauce. Don't ask why. Cause I don't know.

 

[wildorange]

Higgins questioning Grudens drive to work hard is like someone saying Strom Thurmond wasn't conservative enough!! WE WANT GRUDEN!!:rock:

 

[cutnitclose]

Hmmm, I may apply for the Cal job.

I would if I was you..:good!:

 

[HSVol]

My friend just bet me 100/1 odds we don't get Gruden. I guess it's not that bad. I'll only owe a $1 if we don't get him

Are times so tough out in San Diego that risking $20 is too rich for you, SDV?

Never mind I just seen them at the bottom of your list.
