Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[TheBigOne10]

Yes and no. When as much Benjamin$ are tied to a player in the current state of college football, there is/should be an expected level of player commitment and maturity.

Boo better than 50% gone
Jourdan Thomas out for the season


Yikes

Thomas had another setback?

Dale Carter is the best Defensive Back to ever play for the University of Tennessee.

Bold statement. Can't disagree, because Carter was the true elite. Not only one of the best DBs in UT history, but college football history; and, then throw in his return game, which took the elite to another level.

But, hard to agree, though. Because...Eric Berry.

If you told me I could have one of them, in their prime, for the next 2 years - I’m taking Dale Carter.

He’s the better overall talent and weapon.

I agree. I was going to respond...best DB, yes; because of the versatility. Best S, no...believe EB the best pure S.

How do we see them without a twitter account?

Here’s How Much Olympic Athletes Can Earn for Winning Medals, Sponsorship and More

For many Olympic athletes, making a living means relying on sponsorships and prize money from competitions. Here's a breakdown of how Olympians earn money and how much.

www.nbcphiladelphia.com

This breaks it down pretty well.

I've read that a lot of niche Olympic sports, especially women's winter sports, are generally less about talent (although still important to a degree) and more about money/access to top coaches/practice facilities. Like women's downhill skiing. If you're rich enough and have a daughter who wants to become an Olympian in that, she would have a pretty good shot simply because the pool of potential participants who can train for it year-round is actually fairly tiny.

Ya I was thinking more summer sports for sure. But if you're rich enough to be a downhill skier you don't have to work a day job anyway haha.

I'm sure curling is another one where they have day jobs. But in general I'd say more USA Olympians are pros than not. No clue about the rest of the world.

I’ll take the Corner over the Safety, and he was lethal on Return.

So is Boo going to be a Vol this season or not? We keep thinking these problems are fixed, only to find out they're not.

Well Georgia had a current commit try to drive-by kill his classmates so I’d say we’re doing ok all things considered.

Also, crude joke alert. Had he been enrolled, he would have been successful.

Jordan Thomas not making a return, did I know this?

I didn’t know about Thomas. Knee again?

 

[SugarCC]

Thought it appropriate for the day...

 

[Type Orange+]

I didn’t know about Thomas. Knee again?

The way I understand is that his knee injury was worse than we knew and he is yet to recover.

Remember in the offseason when there were those of us saying we needed more secondary from the portal? Pepperidge Farm remembers. And so do I.

 

[JCVol00]

Thomas is out for the year, Boo is likely gone, and McCoy may not be good to go to start the season…I really wish we kept jordan matthews and christian harrison, as well as some of the receivers we lost last year for depth purposes

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Well he didn’t pull the trigger himself so since it’s ok in Alabama it is probably also ok for Georgia players…

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

AP said as far as he knows Boo can’t just transfer to another school at this point. So he’s just going to sit out a year? Doesn’t seem very smart on his part

Like I said, he’s gonna screw around and find out the hard way, just like Nico did. He will end up at a FCS school or not even playing. He will be labeled radioactive, and will cost himself millions in the end and then end up on a team like UCLA.

None of those three takes is a fact. Geez man

So in retrospect,the people calling Basillo (spelling) an idiot needs to eat their crow because he was the first to bring the news about Orlando ...

Not following it closely, or really at all until now. Who said these things?

 

[rockytop25]

Missing meetings and showing up late happens at every team. What I can’t figure out is why our players are letting this stuff out to media members.

Should be handled internally

He’s causing his teammates to do extra running because he doesn’t want to show up. It’s selfish at the end of the day.

I’d be pissed too if I were them. This has probably been going on for a long time before we even heard about it. Who’s to say Boo won’t quit on his teammates mid season if he doesn’t get his way?
