Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[BigSteve09]

I don't believe any of the "nugs" or "insiders"

Literally over 90% of all narratives and storylines that have hit this site or Vol Twitter have just been flat out wrong. Our fans love to tell stories because they're desperate to make sense of the BS this program has become, and they're very bored.

Arik Gilbert spoke with UT?

-AP

So Bailey to LSU and they get another natty.

Depends on what your defenition of a bagman is. It was my understanding that players were just given credit cards/cash to show recruits a good time which is pretty standard from my experience even at a small school. I don't think they were making legit tens of thousands dollar deals or giving kids cars but what do I know. I really don't care when recruits get paid.

Yea thats probably normal. But I assume when the tweet say players paying recruits thru Neids that the money is going directly to the recruits. Not our players showing the kids a good time. But who knows.

Hey TN recruiting department:

 

[Dudley Smith]

Somebody ask AP or Hubbs if Pruitt has retained personal counsel for the investigation

 

[snowvols]

Yes on Garner. No idea who Pugh is

This is Pugh. Former player at Hoover for Pruitt. Dressed up in blackface at Auburn.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Somebody ask AP or Hubbs if Pruitt has retained personal counsel for the investigation

To my knowledge...NO

-AP

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

 

[Helton1]

Surprised it hasn’t been asked yet, what did this say and who was it?

 

[JT3]

Sounds like it. We are dumb as ****

Yea thats some division 3 rookie type mistakes.

 

[jordan4vols]

Somebody ask AP or Hubbs if Pruitt has retained personal counsel for the investigation

someone did. AP said not to his knowledge

 

[Dudley Smith]

-AP

Dang, that was quick - thanks!

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Hey @Bassmaster_Vol gets his Chaney question answered. Is he Safe?

-Hubbs

Sucks

It's all speculation at this point. VolNugs is just an account where people tell him rumors they have heard and he tweets it out.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

here’s the inside information for the day.
The administration at Tennessee doesn’t know what to do at this point. They are deer in headlights lost waiting on the situation to clear with no idea how it’s going to work out without a plan and without a clear thought on who is in charge of bringing the cluster **** under control.

I **** you not!

That’s par for the course at Tennessee.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

So the big reveal would be both a real shocker to the TN community and awful for the family + the mysterious "CM"?

Cade Mays in the library with a candlestick?

Lol! Going with the study and folding chair...wait, that happened in UGA, make that the lead pipe!

 

[White Bread]

Somebody ask AP or Hubbs if Pruitt has retained personal counsel for the investigation

They said not to their knowledge

 

[C-town Vol]

Hard to believe it’s been that long. I’m getting old...and tired.

Its nice to see him develop a 3 ball. That was his biggest question coming out.

While it's certainly entertaining, I lean with you. I suspect there are some posters on here planting information in these forums with the intent to generate ratings (on the radio) and profit (on pay-sites). But it's kind of what we do best now, instead of being a competitive football program. If nothing else, it's fun to read, but you really do have to take off the orange lenses when processing things on here.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Investigation is only thing deciding Pruitts fate on field performance is not a factor.

Fulmer has already indicated he believes Pruitt can win here and should remain here. But what does this investigation turn up on Pruitt, anything? If nothing major then I think he's the coach here. That's been my stance for a while.

-Hubbs

 

[VolGee4]

Yes on Garner. No idea who Pugh is

Appears to be the OC and OL coach at Troy. Played center at Auburn. Played at Hoover.

No idea if he’s good or not, but these are types of coaches that could work. Has OC experience and played in the SEC.

Yikes, didn’t know about the picture.

It’s like we want to sabotage ourselves...

 

[UTProf]

Their is one family that stands to benefit the most if fulmer is ousted

Surely, even they aren't this greedy. If you're team Haslam, you can take Pruitt off the board and check the power of your opponents. You still have to deal with Fulmer but you've gained some power with that move. BUT trying to take both Fulmer and Pruitt down at the same time is too much. That's where they lost steam a few weeks ago when it seemed so certain Pruitt would be fired. If this is their doing AND they manage to get the program hit with serious allegations to boot, they need to gtfo of the state.

This board has been far more interesting for me than what we have fielded for the past decade.

That's pretty damn sad, I hate to admit.
