Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

Mike Matthews and Braylon Staley aren’t playmakers? I see you in recruiting threads freaking out about missing recruits all the time, but two high rated receivers who you were probably ecstatic about landing at the time aren’t good anymore?
He's having a rough day. He switched sides earlier and is still trying to get used to how nice things are over here.
 
Taking my beefs from Waffle House to Little Cesars.


Man I witnessed a similar thing in an Applebees about 3 weeks ago! This poor kid comes into the restaurant with his girlfriend. They’re all shook up because some guy has been harassing them on the road and they came into the restaurant to try and get away from him because it’s public. Literally as he’s telling this story to the hostess, this big fat burly guy runs through the door, body checks this kid into the wall, starts punching him about 3-4 times, and then high tells it out of there after management comes and runs him off. The cops showed up and everything, it was insane!

Needless to say, best Applebees trip of all time.
 
This is why culture and a player profile in recruiting matter. I know some like to poo poo it. Some young people may take time to figure it out. But, those who have the drive and motivation (even when now being paid) to succeed can be better players even if they have an ounce less of physical talent. Having the mental part is half the battle. It’s something Rick Barnes has been able to bottle up for 3-4 years now.

I’d love to have a specific example of Basilio making something up. Anytime Basilio talks or writes about something the University mouthpieces haven’t people kinda dog the guy. I think he’s alright.
The Basilio haters on here are something. First they say he makes things up, then when it actually comes out they say he just read it off of VolNation. Poor guy can’t win.

Basilio’s problem is that he doesn’t help himself with the stupid antics like “deep vol throat” or whatever the hell he calls his random ass sources. Realistically, he probably is right more than he’s wrong, but he talks like a nutter and that causes people to think he’s just a buffoon.
 
For about 5 or 6 seasons, Dale Carter was one of the five best CBs in football. Think about that...

One of the best Corners in the game, played Safety for the Vols. On our backend, Im ready for THAT kind of speed and athleticism again.
Dale Carter is the best Defensive Back to ever play for the University of Tennessee.
