Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[HeuperDrive]

We should have some answers by next Friday at the latest.

Friday derives from dies Veneris. That’s “day of Venus” in Latin.

you mean to tell me we’re going to have Venus as our QB?

I’ve seen enough. 15-0 incoming. No way anybody is gonna stop a team with a frickin' planet at QB.

Oh man - cannot fathom

That deputy gonna get buried in court, as they should. Awful.

Hope no one died. That’d be negligent homicide for the deputy I imagine.

 

[Devo182]

Use the Nico $$$ on other positions and ride with Merk & Mac…..
They were both hand picked by CJH to play QB. Time to play.

Imo save it for 2026 positionals and load up for a monster 2026-2028 run. Wait for SO GMac or FB.

2025 is a wash atp. Too many missing pieces to begin with, but Nico broke the camel's back.

Already 4 dead 5 injured

 

[Type Orange+]

No question in my mind that G-Mac is the way to go. The grass is greener on our own side already.

The kid is built like a pipe cleaner right now. He desperately needs some good weight, muscle weight.
I hope he adds that over the summer.

 

[Orange_Crush]

I don't know who this Josh is, but why would Basilio saying he thinks or doesn't think something make it "safe to say"? And this is not a knock on Basilio.

It should be.

Nonsense.

 

[Brillovol]

Need depth tho

 

[Adam Sandler]

In a way he is right - just not the way he thinks

His name is the only reason it’s happening bro literally what has sheduer done to earn that honor? Ridiculous. Deion you clown.

He would have stabbed them with his calculator or pocket protector if not for having a gun.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Ugh. How easily avoidable. Tragic.

 

[Orange_Crush]

He doesn’t run…. Have to run in this offense

He ran well in his highlights.

 

[Rishvol]

He would have stabbed them with his calculator or pocket protector if not for having a gun.

He probably has before but got out of trouble for being the deputy's kid

 

[Devo182]

Nonsense.

Maybe so. But where have we upgraded over last season?

QB - Big no
RB - Big no
WR - Meh
OL - Mid no without Coop at C
TE - I dare say yes - hoping Davis finally breaks out, as he should be a stud, but Kitselman was a really nice surprise last year too.

Defense - that was one hell of a defense, so upgrading would be very optimistic

 

[Rishvol]

Honest question. Do you not think the Sheriff trained their child in safe gun practice? Since the son was 20 wouldn't it be possible that the Sheriff trusted the their child with the gun lock? Especially if they had gun safety training? (All speculation of course) If so, what more could the Sheriff do?

By a wash, you mean we don't make the playoffs? Or, do you think things could get very ugly (7 wins or less)?

 

[Devo182]

Ugh. How easily avoidable. Tragic.

How is it remotely avoidable?

Ask Japan or Singapore.

8-4 which still is a very good season, playoffs eeh..

 

[Devo182]

Shoot, all probabilities drop a couple tiers...but I'm not ready to say ugly is likely.

But making the playoffs went from unlikely, but quite possible to very unlikely. And that should be the goal. So if it's a sudden pipedream, imo...if I were an investor and UT football was my asset...I'd be looking to drop the bag next year...not this one on some 1 year rentals.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

All I can say is "get your popcorn ready". Not only can he walk, but wait until you see his face. This dude has EYES.

 

[mrMet]

For what it's worth, it feels like the tone on the VQ podcast has changed as far as the kind of QB we're going to bring in from the portal. Tuesday they were very much in the "getting a depth guy" camp, but now they're talking like we're going after a real guy. No names or anything, just interesting how that has changed since the portal opened, and lines up with what @Mrpeabody8888 was saying about how Tennessee is being very careful about not giving off the appearance of tampering. It would just make sense that the VQ guys would be in the dark until after the portal opened for that reason.

Anyway, Big Fish confirmed, 16-0 incoming obviously, Go Vols.

If anybody was curious, I would **** on big Nics face after a bourbon trail tour. IYKYK

 

[jave36]

Ask Japan or Singapore.

Ask completely homogenous societies or ones where you have so little freedom you can't even chew gum? Or ones who don't allow poor people to stay in their country?

Please oversimplify and wrongly attribute some more.

How?
