Why can’t we have nice things?

 

[VFLBerg]

. I just read that the 85 scholarship limit apparently got him. He could have enrolled in January but chose to ask for release and go elsewhere.

Because we was probably baggage. They are working like Heck to to get JJ Peterson... that tells you something.

 

[vol-un-tear]

This stinks. Was looking forward to seeing him in Orange. Must be a back story. Good luck sir!

 

[CA_Vol]

Too good of a name to let go. Get rid of Dillon Bates or some other bust and keep him. Saban would do it.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Dude should have gotten his ish together. If he would have, he would be a Vol. Sucks for him. Wish him all the best.

There goes Top 20 class ranking for 2018. They were clinging to it by a toenail.

Getting Kennedy and Jennings back more than makes up for that.

How many wins does the team need to post to keep the "commitments" for next year? Does it matter? If things go south and players start complaining about playing time I can't imagine that would help recruiting. OTOH, even a losing record could be seen favorably by recruits if the program appears to be stable.

Basically was told he could delay enrollment or pay first semester. He decided to go elsewhere.Probably UNC bound.

It was Top 18 with the new guys in. This will put us at 19 or 20 now.

We picked up Thompson and Kennedy....

I dont get upset over people who have never played before.

Does anybody really care about that once the next season starts?

Its July. Good God.

That's not what he's talking about.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

That's not what he's talking about.

Sure it was. It doesn't even matter now if the class was ranked 19 or 22. What matters now is what they do when they get here. I hate to lose Lawless, but he isn't going to make or break the team.

His senior film was horrible, 247 dropped him to a 3-star. Once he had academic concerns, the staff moved on.

Once Tennessee took Brandon Kennedy as a grad transfer, they didn't have room for him under the 25 new counters in a calendar year rule (that's different than the 25 signee rule), so this was only a matter of time.

t . Do you feel there is a difference between #19 and being #22? Or # 19 and # 16?.. Seriously, these are only guesses based on someone's opinions..

Stars matter my friend.

Dropping someone on the 85 doesn’t make room on the 25...not even possible for Saban.

Kennedy didn’t affect the class rating...but Thompson did.

What the class is ranked in July means absolutely nothing. The only time it matters is after NSD. Even you should know that.

Since some just jump on ever opportunity to lament, the answer seems to be yes.
