Got those VIP nuggets from 247 @Ron Swanson ?

Nothing we don't already know.

Tony B is doing a live “X” cast sometime today/tonight. You may not like Basilio but his recruiting guru X is usually very informative. I can’t find a start time though.

That's disgusting and I love it.

Now I want that 230 lb RB that runs like a 4.47................. come on kid, pull the trigger and DEWIT.

 

[UpstateVol613]

This is a very underrated story. As Clay Travis says if you don’t spend the money for coaches on the front end you will pay it on the back end in buyouts. As Vol sports fans we have spent the last 10+ years in purgatory. It’s nice to have hope again. I love what Fulmer has brought to the AD position. Resigning Barnes, Vitello and finally getting us a real football coach in Pruitt.

[drvenner]

For anyone that has Tony Bologna on ignore, we got a commit today from '21 DB/RB Elijah Howard. Boom!!!!!

Edit: we already know what @bignewt thinks about it.

 

[OrangenSC]

Marlin Lane nods in agreement.


And to be fair, Dabo and coaches who say this want the players to shut down their recruitments when they commit. Not just “hold a spot”. A lot of HS coaches won’t let their players commit until they’ve taken all their visits and come to a final decision.

HS coaches don't have the power to decide when players commit. Ok, a relative few may have that kind of influence and many may advise such, but nah. The power of HS coaches is greatly exaggerated because of those few. And to be clear, I've been a HS teacher for 21 years, 18 at a very good fb program.

 

[LA Vol]

Think we'd like to take 2 RBs, 3-4 WRs and a TE this class, but with versatile players (like Gilbert or Holmes), we could go multiple and save a spot. We'll lose a lot of offensive playmakers after this year, so we need to reload on offense. And we need to add elite speed.

 

[Devo182]

Gilbert and Washington gonna have us in some nasty 2 TE sets.

This is exactly right, which is why overpaying to retain Rick Barnes beats taking a chance elsewhere

I said a lot, but it’s more like what you said, where there a few powerful guys that can control how their kids commit.

I just want you guys to know when we beat Bama(It will happen at some point) I have decided to not act like we've been there before and will be a total douche to Bama fans.

If they can sell some football tickets we’ll build on the surplus. They’re struggling though.

Crouch is going to have to lean up and get faster if he’s going to be an every down ILB

 

[yourstruly23]

Coach Rocker getting a lot of air time tonight

 

[whitw]

Well, well, well. ESPN finally announced that Kumar Rocker is the son of Tracy Rocker... “a Tennessee DL coach”. Anyway, ESPN can squeeze on one.

Here I come Lollapalooza 2020. Lightin up with my fellow music lovers will be momentous. 2 fingers up to the old establishment and War on Drugs failure.

 

[Devo182]

Coach Rock is great and all, but I hope Michigan takes the Dores to the woodshed!

 

[901LookAlive]

He looked like our fastest linebacker in the spring game by far. That kid is a freak and doesn't have any bad weight at all. 242lbs is perfect playing weight. A year in the system and a full time defensive guy will make a world of difference for him.
