Some of y'all might remember me posting a while back (actually, it would have been about a year ago, lol) about needing prayers for a baby girl that was born 16 weeks early and needed all the help she could get. Well, this is her, and these are her one-year birthday pics. Ladies and gents, my niece Safira.....aka "The Littlest Volunteer".

Beautiful little miracle.

That's fantastic Deus. Thanks for sharing.

You must have either lurked for a long while or got banned and came back as a new persona. Sab?



Another old(ish) school VN reference now...

Were you around for the original LV?

He stopped posting at the end of 2011 I think, so probably not.

As UTM guessed, I lurked for years before the stupidity I oftentimes saw in the FF no longer allowed me to not post in good conscious. Also, the RF showed me I could save some money on my Rivals subscription.

7/11 was a part time job

GFW, may a recruiting rookie ask why you have this gut feeling?

Welcome to the world of recruiting my friend. I will assume you've been trapped in the FF for the last seven years and tip my hat to you for the escape. :hi:

I'm not an insider. Just know a few ex players really well and I'm in the corporate business world so every once in awhile I get to rub elbows with people who matter. IMO there really are no true insiders on this board. Some of you may choose to believe that, but I don't. Skeeter is pretty well connected. Otherwise, it's a bunch of people going off of hunches and hear-say.

Want to know who is an insider? Paul Fortenberry. Brent Hubbs. Those are your true insiders.

I was just messin' with ya man. Unless it comes to kids in the H'ville/Gallatin area (where I do get some info) I get all my recruiting news from right here on good 'ol VN. :hi:

That depends on how you define an 'insider'. This may be a little presumptuous of you. There is some evidence that at least a couple of posters (GFW) either work at Thornton or Anderson and do indeed come in contact with recruits. I suspect Bob Mueller does as well. They are right more than not with the info they bring here but not always because after all, recruits don't always tell the truth about their intentions and also change their minds on occasion. You could say the only true 'insiders' are the family members of the recruits but the info posted here is still pretty reliable compared to most message boards (including VQ).

Haha I actually check the recruiting forum all the time but just classify myself as a rookie since I don't bring any insider info to the table

99% of the people in here bring absolutely nothing to the forum....especially me.

Atleast we're honest.

I don't consider people who befriend players (GFW) to be insiders. If that's the guidelines for being an insider, I guess I am too.

Notorious RPP at least talks to CRG and CZA every once in awhile at his restaurant, so maybe he counts?

Otherwise, it's just a bunch of vague hints and ambiguous comments. But I get that everyone here hopes it means more lol. And I promise when I post things that are "insider'ish" it will always be legit. If I don't get it from a coach, I get it from guys like Swain, Byron Moore, etc. But I get more team related stuff (like PW getting green lighted, Jennings getting switched to WR) than recruiting stuff from them.

I never looked at it that way. I guess I should just ditch this app and listen to the radio.

I've turned my nothingness into an art form.

An insider is someone who has "inside" knowledge in the program, right?

GFW is money in the bank. JMO.

Lol nah it's still fun and every so often someone gets some real info

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

I'm good at nothing but posting cute cat gifs and emoticons in my posts. Every now and then, I may post a decent opinion on something. But other than that, I don't bring s*** to this message board. Proud of it!

And to stay on topic, looking forward to Hunter Johnson being a Vol. :dance2:
