Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[BigSteve09]

Someone let me know when it's okay to panic. Panic season is my favorite season on VN.

this has Jr. Coach Search vibes

I don’t think we even know if it was in Tampa. I saw a comment under that saying the plane was in West Palm, and was flying back today or yesterday.

If it’s west palm, it could’ve been a coach visiting Freeman, since he’s visiting soon,

Heard that this plane that's being discussed was for the Lady Vol golf team.

Looks like I'm going have to contact Andy Bowser to get any inside information...you guys had your chance, now I'm bringing in the big gun...

 

[UTvol1fn]

I don't know anything. Trying to follow sources and media in between meetings. I thought it was Rocco then maybe not. We're in Tampa, then New Orleans. Who's out there? What's really going on?

Gruden?

 

[hooperj75]

nic reminds me of the kid trying to negotiate in "There Will Be Blood"

Great movie!

It's bad when our own fanbase likes trolling us. haha

 

[LaagerVol]

Perfect.

Why. Cant. We. Tear. Ass. in the porthole? Kiffin is rippin' lips over there in stankville.

Because. That. Isn’t. Our. Philosophy.

We just got rid of our biggest mercenary money grabber, why does everybody want more of that?

Long snapper.

Big fi... er... mammal.

Dangit!

Lmao...all that supposed "talent" and still lost to KY and UF last year. Kiffin can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag.

 

[crazyguy]

I’ll allow it. Great margaritas.

 

[BigSteve09]

interesting that none of the previously mentioned "targets" have come out as committed to their current team, or that their respective collectives haven't announced a bigger/better deal for them

really quiet, all things considered

wonder if we will get new QB news this afternoon, or if it starts the cascade of reports from QBs around the nation that they are "staying home" or "getting a raise" or whatever else

Good lord. You might as well pull up your furry depends and start panicking. We all know that’s what you like.

Saw Basillio talking in the George Plaster show. He said he thinks it will probably be closer to the weekend if we hear something.

Couldn't pay him with how they acted. Pay him now, have to pay more for an SEC title game and more for each playoff game. We'd probably end up over $6mil/yr for him. No way he's worth 50% more than Tony Vintella

Agree talking about posters as reasonable as Big Nic.

Good. We got our QB #1. Just need a depth piece.

 

[franklinpence]

My son is constantly saying “brung” instead of “brought”. Just yesterday we have this exchange.

“I brung home my math test. You need to sign it.”

“Ok, but brought is the correct term.”

“But everyone at school says brung.”

So I look it up.

So nonstandard but still acceptable. I will not accept “broughten” though.

I said it earlier but it’s worth repeating: invest in a depth piece at a much cheaper value, and then recruit some of these stronger players already in the portal to surround our current QBs plus the new depth piece.

This contradicts Dick West’s reporting, so no way it’s true.

Which would make sense for the conclusion of the "who is coming to Tennessee" question. I'm more interested in the "who isn't coming" news that should be breaking right about now. We haven't been able to cross anyone off the list yet, which I think is interesting. Usually the players, coaches, collective can't wait to announce that they were called but are staying.
