Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[JCP201]

Clark got mention as a Freshman, too. Come to the VOLS and become a top pick in the majors.

Thought PWOs weren’t a thing anymore

Can you believe she is. Turning 60 years old.? View attachment 747918

She must have some impressive plastic surgeons.

Now we are talking...

 

[Plove23]

Is Bishop going to be RB1 this season?

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

Choosing any team other than Tennessee is blasphemy.

Ehh, it’s kind of fun turning a low level team into a powerhouse. I just had Boston College rocking, all the top recruits wanted to visit.

Would have put a lot less pressure on Bargo too. The pressure seemed to be weighing on him the last half of the year.

Bargo did struggle after the Bama game in SEC Tourney into NCAA, of course. And, while yes, I would've liked to have seen his overall avg up closer to .300; however, Bargo is also a great exposer of people.

He hit 14 HRs this year and drove in 40 runs. This is where people show that they know nothing, or have been spoiled. Having a lineup in college baseball, up and down the order, hitting 20+ HRs and driving in 60 or more...people, that doesn't happen. 14/15 to 19/20 HRs and driving in 40 to 50 is a damn good power-hitting season. Yes, I would've liked to have seen more runs and production from our 4-hitter; but... .272/.366/14/40 is, by no means, a lousy season.

Hey @tnhunter 10 ,

Your name and account number are visible on the bottom of that letter...

Him or the Duke transfer but my money is on Bishop. What about our boy at VT?

Still think Peyton Lewis sees a ton of time. Hubbs said he really came on the second half of spring.

Yep, Lewis has a great shot to start.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Is Bishop going to be RB1 this season?

I think so. They may say 1a & 1b, but I think Bishop will be 1a. . . at least to start the year.

How is it going for Cam so far at Tech?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Yep, Lewis has a great shot to start.

I forgot about the transfer RB. I'm not sure any of them are far ahead of the others. We'll probably see a good amount of plays from all of them.

Name checks out

The red part in my screen name refers to me being a ginger and that’s what dad always called me. Screw Arkansas, one of the worst places I’ve lived in. Ranks up there with Mississippi.

I'd agree

I hear what you are saying, but someone who goes 1-22 in the post season is going to attract negative attention and not just from people who are ignorant or spoiled.
I agree the early and mid-season criticism was unfair and unfounded, but the last third of the season was objectively rough for him and Chappy.

Yeah, it was...Chapman's glove is always good, but he struggled too, along with Ensley down the stretch.

@Rishvol

Audiobooks depends greatly upon the voice talent.

I recommend
zombie Fallout series
Dresden Files series
Iron Druid series
Mad Mick series
America Falls series (can get all in one omnibus)
Convergence series

All are excellent reads, but for me the voice actors really bring the books to life. If the voice is just reading then I pass by. There needs to be different voices and potentially accents for each character to really get it right.

I listen to audiobooks to and from work and actually anytime I am driving alone.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

How do you keep track of the books you've read? I can't remember 4 books I've read, but I've read a lot more than that,

If you can’t remember, then maybe you are just reading the same 4 books over and over again

 

[Orangeburst]

Can I get my audiobooks in neurodivergent format so I can listen a lot faster?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Father in law bought me a Ninja Woodfire Grill XL. Anybody used one? Need some ideas about some quality pellet flavors and brands.
