Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

this thread is mostly off topic these days...

So we can discuss hypocrisy but not politics...? One in the same...

Swain is apparently saying that Boo is going to leave the team and walkon at Colorado, that they are tampering with him

Best case scenario all around imo

 

[Adam Sandler]

If true, then this solidifies just how dense of a kid Boo is...

What's the upside going to Colorado compared to starting the next few years at TN, a national program in the toughest conference, where fans will adore him and he will be treated like a king?

While I don't think we will be sniffing the playoff anytime soon, we are in a much better place/situation than Co... With Shedurrrr and Travis gone, there's little if any buzz and I don't see them getting any better for the next few years at least... another talent wasted for being stupid.

LOL won’t be sniffing the playoff anytime soon?? We were in it last year! And with a one dimensional offense. Or were you in a coma for the past year?

So call the off topic police. Narc!

Don't forget. We get to hear from our ex-QB for the first time since he left today at BIG10 media day. They are scheduled to take the stage at 3 PM eastern. What are the odds that he says something stupid?

He may as well speak on us, the rest of the B1G/ACC/B12 has spent the entire media day talking about the SEC

Probability is high. Very high. I’d say about this high.

Sounded like a nuke just went off in Blount Co.

Everything ok or was it one of those mysterious booms we hear from time to time?

Happened a couple weeks ago also didn’t it

Imagine getting to play football at this level…getting paid hundreds of 000’s to do it…all the women/attention/praise…having everything else paid for…and all you have to do is not be a complete disaster and in 2 years you’re in the NFL getting millions…and you’re like ‘nah let me see if I can screw this up’

That would have been easier for me (and most of us) than one may think at 18-20 years old. That's a lot of distractions and entitlement for a young man.

This is my biggest issue with college sports right now. How does Colorado or any school not get in trouble.

 

[volinbama256]

We are thin once again in a particular position group, particularly safety/star... if only there was a way for our staff to be able to grab a player or two, pay what was needed, and eliminate the depth issues in that position group... oh wait, NM....

Almost like when Pili went down and we were super thin/inexperienced in that group...

lol. First gangs, then Colorado, then Nico and UCLA, now back to Colorado. Got it

the lack of reading comprehension just amazes me on this board, one of the main reasons I hardly get on anymore... Yes obviously we "made" the playoff last season, not sure where I said we didn't... Read this REAL SLOW--- we won't be sniffing the playoff anytime soon...

See, this means in the upcoming future... not the past... You don't have to agree with me, but at least understand what is being said...

 

[TheRain]

I'm finding it difficult to stop laughing... I don't know why.

I don't think Nico is going to say anything stupid. He's going to have a prepared response of "I'm focused on UCLA"

 

[SoilVol]

It's hard to know if you're asking rhetorically or being serious. @SoilVol i'm out of my element here. Id assume so with the yellow pine dog ear wood fence behind, but who knows.

Not sure. Looks like its in a neighborhood, probably got something plastic stuck on it during velvet.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

can't wait to see matthews and staley

Also T. Smith and R. Jackson ... I think they might surprise people early in the season.

Another? What's smith and weston doing over there

We wish you wouldn't get on the board at all

I'm not sure what it was. It was just really loud, like a fireworks factory went off, . I guess everyone is ok, havent heard anything else about it. I wondered if someone in here heard it too.

It's underground bombing for the secret underground tunnel/city system the illuminati is expanding/remodeling.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Not that Boo was a super highly ranked recruit because he wasn't, but I do think this stuff is a blow to the future stargazers of VN.

There is zero point at going after a highly touted recruit when you know damn well you are going to go through this BS 1-2 years down the road. You are better off with the 3 star who hasn't surrounded himself with an inner circle of morons. It was different when the LOI was an air tight legal contract that actually meant something.

Or realize the player is a problem early and stop meeting all their demands and keep revisiting same issues over and over until they screw you. It’s happened over and over and needs to end. Heupel is a players coach and deals with a lot because he wants everyone happy. Has to cut dead weight sooner and upgrade sooner. Easier than ever with portal. Instead of sitting easy and hoping no one leaves, be proactive and realize certain players are going to do it regardless and have backups ready.

I'll take some sausage and eggs, biscuits and gravy. Hash-brown casserole would be good too.
