Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[DD4ME]

I cancelled my subscription this year. Seems like they only cover Tennessee as an afterthought because they have to. If it's not a Texas or ACC school, it's unworthy to them it seems.

FWIW. This NIL is just teaching players to be greedy . This mess is meant for Professional Sports where greediness rules over loyalty...

True but also so many parents and handlers are also seeing a pay day no matter how big or small. Kids nowadays go to Major Universities for one main reason and it's not an education, it is to get a chance to play on Sunday. Many also see how few actually make it and figure they should get it while they can and as long as somebody will pay it they will take it and if somebody offers them more that's where they will go.....simple.

Yeah. That doesn't stop people from running their mouths.

What the heck is Skibidi Rizz mean. 4 year old told his 8 year old brother that he had no Skibidi Rizz.

According to my middle schoolers it means you can't pull the girls.

So the kid has no swag, charm or charisma.

I think some of you nerds who mess with spreadsheets will like this:

@mrmax86 you ever tried a website like this? I wonder if it could do something with the stuff you keep in spreadsheets?

 

[InVOLuntary]

We need that gif with @joevol33 's face on it,

I thought that was @joevol33's face on it.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I thought that was @joevol33's face on it.

maybe, I didnt even pay attention. . . didnt look like the other gifs at first glance.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

The kids who transferred out are SAFETIES. Coach Martinez coaches CORNERS. Maybe people would panic less if they knew the difference.

Yep, eyeroll worthy display of fanship.

What’s really going to hurt is when fans start checking out because rosters change every year, and it feels more like free agency than college athletics. If schools and players aren’t careful, they’ll lose the very thing that made college sports profitable in the first place: fan loyalty. No fans = no money, plain and simple.

Eventually, the market will correct itself, but by then, the damage might be done.

It’s already happening to some jlevel. I care a little bit less every day.

After viewing all the final mock drafts before tonight's 1st round begins.

I'm predicting James Pearce to the Falcons at #16

Cowboys take Matthew Golden at#12

Shedeur Sanders will be a Pittsburgh Steeler at Pick #21
Bears get Michigan TE Loveland with #10 pick..

I completely understand that Pittsburgh has a strong need for a QB, but I can't think of many worse examples of cultural fit than Sheadeur Sanders on the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't see that happening.

 

[DD4ME]

All our players trying to take us for a run these days.

Why does it appear other top schools aren’t dealing with the same level of defectors?

Heck some have it worse.

 

[DD4ME]

Dang that hits close to home. I remember listening to him play on the radio when I was a kid. He could play. He also did not play for the money when he was a Volunteer. He is a true VFL. prayers for his family.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Run what ya brung. . .
Let all these money hungry players hit the road and play whoever is left,
