Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[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?

 

[LaagerVol]

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

The lack of any playmakers on offense on this team is mind numbing. Kid wants to go, let him go. But my goodness, going Winter, Spring, and now struggling to get offensive playmakers. Sorry not sorry, is a red flag on those offensive coaches. Huep is the man, but ... it is frustrating.

Maybe they can work it out with him, who
knows?

Most of these kids haven’t played. Too soon to say we have no playmakers. We beat out very good schools for most of these recruits.

Eric Berry was a once in a quarter century talent. That guy was special. Paid is the right thing to do there. Not sure this kid is of that caliber.

No one really knew EB was that good until he proved it on the field.

 

[Weezer]

I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me panic. It's the VN way. I'm ready to riot and burn an otherwise good mattress.

 

[TheRain]

The NCAA and Charlie Baker lies? Say it ain't so.

 

[Weezer]

Seriously though, I'm not sweating anything until the season starts and we see what happens. If we lose games, then your damn right I'm going to be a pissy bitch about it. You have been warned.

We already know

You know because I just told you. Now stop being a pissy bitch about it.

Could he leave and walk on at another school? The term "walk-on" has basically lost meaning because you can use NIL money to supplement. I am not sure that is legal, but who knows what is legal these days.

 

[MarcoVol]

Right, but does his mom seem like the type mom who would speak reason to him, tell him to swallow his pride and conform to the team culture, and just put in the work this year?

If she sees him wasting an opportunity that she sacrificed to help make happen….yes.

Projection is fun!

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

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 ...

Orlando is a Ghost. Boo

I went back and deleted my comment because I don’t want to add to the drama, and I really don’t want to argue about it

 

[Adam2014]

None of those three takes is a fact. Geez man

Hubbs has said multiple times over the past month that he does not expect Thomas to play this year. The last update he provided was that he was likely to medically redshirt this year. He is not playing. They also mentioned that they don't expect McCoy to start the season either. We all know what has been posted about Boo Carter lately so I will save writing anything about it.

Serious question. Are you good with losing?

Are you one of those "everyone should get a trophy" people?

No one on this board is happy with losing. But they don't act like a child about it.

Of course not.

But y’all find plenty to bitch about despite us winning so there was never a doubt there would be much whiny bitching if we start losing.

 

[knoxvol52]

Like clockwork...

Are you talking about VN because there’s a huge number of folks who post like children on here every time something goes less than perfect.

 

[Gilbert]

Where is Boo going to go at this point? He can’t transfer now and if he’s playing this fall it’s going to be at UT. Unless it’s so bad that he transfers down divisions, which I doubt happens.

Best case scenario with Boo IMO is get one more year out of him with hopefully little distraction. At the end of the year let him do whatever he wants, no more money, and no concessions to keep him.

You run the risk of it all blowing up in the middle of the year and affecting the team this year though.

Happy Wednesday

July 23,2025: Do not be selfish or only considering yourself in making decisions or in acquisitions. You will have opportunities to make life-altering choices, but if you only consider the outcome for yourself instead of all concerned, the outcome will be less favorable. You must seek the Lord for wisdom and direction. Proverbs 11:24 There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.

Boo? Cut his ass. No player is bigger than the Power T I was told...

He's already done.
