Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I mean dude scored on 24% of his catches & lead team in yards with just 26 catches…

Volume is really the only reason he didn’t have bigger numbers, we seemed to mostly use Thornton as a deep threat, White & Bru got more targets as well as Miles.

I hope he gets drafted high and does great in the league, but imo the biggest thing they held him back this past year was tapping his helmet

Meanwhile the players at UGA get a pass for their BS and bama's basketball players were simply "in the wrong place at the wrong time".

Yep! I mean actual criminal records being glossed over as something to move past while basically hearsay with no named source is being spread to drop a legit top 15 picks stock. Its really wild who the media chooses to help and hurt.

I mean his reputation from Oregon had me worried...I don't think he produced at nearly the level he could have, but it's pretty rare to land someone that has all the talent AND all the motivation. Quite a few folks spoke about Randy Moss the same way and if he had the Jerry Rice work ethic he would have set records no one could touch.

I think Thornton could be an absolute problem with the right team, but could also see him being nothing but a problem with a bad one too.

That's pretty wild, UNC has 7 top 100 RSCI players, 5 of which are top 50.

The 2019-20 team that went 14-19 only had 5 top 100 players and just 2 were top 50


Also wonder if Cade Tyson is happy he picked the bigger bag to go watch. In 26 games he's averaging 8.5 mpg, 2.9 ppg, 1.2 rpg and shooting just 29.5% from deep...this is wild to say, but we might have won that deal taking Dubar instead.

Dubar has played in 24 games averaging 10.1 mpg, 3.5 ppg, 2.1 rpg and his 3 point shot has also been bad at 26.9% but he seems to be giving us more than Tyson is giving UNC at least.

What was said?

The general propagation/spreading of the narrative around Pearce’s character. Let the GM’s and teams hash out the validity of those rumors behind closed doors rather than plastering it all over the socials.

I won a $1000 last night at a charity event…..

First person to answer, “What is the 9th letter in the alphabet?”

I screamed out a blind guess immediately……..
But I was correct………

Half the time the teams are putting that out there for their own reasons. Pearce didn’t do anything bad here worth writing home about.

is this a bad joke? I'm just not getting it.

If it's not a joke, I need to hit him up for a loan.

There may be a few more bad jokes today…..

At hospital in Cincinnati visiting my wife’s brother…..only two allowed back, so…….

A pane in the glass, if you will.

I think that was pretty transparent

Geez…..some people…..they just don’t grasp things easily

Also need this to Free Bird.

We VOLS fans have been through quite a few Celine Dion moments.

I think we can get a 2 seed with a three way tie between us, Florida and Bama. Since it's best winning % of games played among tied teams.

Vols would be 2-1
Bama 1-1
Florida 1-2

Which if all 3 finish 13-5 that is where we will be...

Vols have to go 2-0
Florida has to go 1-1 (losing at Bama)
Bama has to go 1-1 (losing at Auburn)

You are probably right, I wasn’t even considering a 3 way tie and that head to head record scenario.

Thanks for responding.

I love this one, but what is more mind blowing now is the names on the back of those jerseys and the fact we didn't win the SEC East.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Man, if I got drafted by a team and then found out that team had exaggerated character concerns to reporters in order to allow me to drop to them, I’d be furious.

That is screwing him out of money. No one is guaranteed a second contract in the NFL, so it could be life altering.

Buy a “range technology” device and disable that junk. Last I seen was like $150

Thanks!

That don't make no sense. . .

Outscored them by 39 after being down 18? Crazy!
