Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Looks like Keshawn fell 15 spots to 74

Welp... never mind.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Sewell got that 5th star

Deezie’s closed down. Jefferson’s has the best wings in town.

Not true if you like BBQ wings. Slick Pig is the best. The wings are so tender you’ll catch yourself eating part of the bone and not even know it. The cook gets there long before most people wake up and starts smoking everything. When I was at MTSU, if you took a late lunch there then the wings would be sold out

Sewell got that 5th star

King missed the cut by 1

 

[SLICKYINC]

Smalls fell 5 spots?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Washington and Rakim are no longer 5 stars according to 247. Good sign for us imo.

 

[TrippieRedd]

247 Evaluating basically.

Bama Commit: "He ran a 4.86 with the other WR's and only caught one ball, but hey it's Alabama. 5 star." (Up 150 spots to 3 overall)

Tenn Commit: "He ran a 4.44 and had 3 interceptions during the 7 on 7, but he is committed to Tennessee. 4 star." (Down 27 spots to 260 overall).

Just blows my mind how players can fall in rankings when they haven't played any games. But, they dominate in camps and still fall.

 

[Catbone]

Pro tip: look at all the players who dropped in rankings by double digits. Those players are heavily considering committing to Tennessee.

YES!!! I love Slick Pig! You ever have a big party, do yourself a favor and order 150 of their smoked wings. They are a must at our get togethers now.
Also heard Slick Pig is expanding to Smyrna in the near future.

247 is jacking around with the rankings right now. They're both 5 stars again.

They’ve gotten worse the past couple of years

 

[Catbone]

247 is jacking around with the rankings right now. They're both 5 stars again.

Either that or they just informed 247 they've eliminated us from their consideration

Weird, but I was about to say, dropping those guys from 5 stars would be dumb.

edit: They're still showing up as 4 stars on 247's rankings, not composite: 2020 Top Football Recruits: 2020 Top Football Recruits
But it actually looks like they have been 4 stars on 247 for a while, so I'm not sure what to think there.

That's what my wife said about my baby girl. She won't be 18 until she has a month of college life under her belt. Book smart as hell with 28 college credits already. But she's not ready for the real world. I'm sick over it.

She'll be a'ight. You know how y'all raised her to be.

I kinda wish the "star" system didnt exist. It would take some pressure off coaches to try to please the fans. Although, I don't believe CJP gives a chit about stars or what the fans think -- which is a good thing.

It probably wouldn't exist if fans didnt eat it up and spend money on subscriptions

Any other East Nashville or downtown Nashville food suggestions.

In East
Pizza- 5 points, check out Slim n Husky’s in North Nash too.
Burger- Everyone will say Pharmacy but try Riverside Grillshack or Dino’s
Sammich- Mitchell’s is a MUST
Tacos- Mas Tacos or head to South Nashville area for street tacos.
Breakfast- Marche
Beer- Southern Grist


Also check out Lockeland and Margot.

Also, find your way to Arnold’s near downtown at some point.

 

[AngryButchJones]

I'd wait a few hours before trying to figure out where guys are ranked. It takes a bit to completely update the system like they're doing

Man I miss The brisket sandwich at Mitchell’s. Used to go there all the time when I lived on that side and now I hardly get there.

Y’all didn’t say anything in the recruiting thread last year about Trey Knox pulling this off must be the Murfreesboro in him

All this time I thought “Hogs” was a mascot reference....

 

[SweetasSoda]

Tank Bigsby went way up.

Must be going to GA.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Yeah, double checked this morning and then talked to mom. She said a friend pushed for early testing and I was admitted earlier.
Don't know if it varies by county or if it was because it was a hundred yrs ago (feels like anyway) but at least I wasn't crazy. I did start at 4 and was between 1 and 2 yrs younger than everyone else growing up.

My wife was the same with an early sort bday, and our youngest son is as well with an August bday.
He was in a transitional class for pre k at 4, ans they decided he was too advanced for that and put him in K half way thru the year at 4. So he is a year younger than everyone in his grade, 2 years younger than some.
Didn’t really think it out at the time, we were “oh our kid is smart as ****...”lmao.
Now, not so much, he’s struggling mentally in class. Athletically, he’s doing just fine, and better than majority of kids a year older or more. I have to wonder how good he’d be if he was the same age?!?

Yes, my daughter did as well as the kids a year older, but we always wondered how well she could have done with kids her age.
