It's caramel corn, peanuts, and a recruiting tool

The feature post of the day belongs to by Incipient_Senescence, so go read that first.
And now, the day's other Talking Points:
- According to Wikipedia, "Cracker Jack is a U.S. brand of snack consisting of caramel-coated popcorn and peanuts. It is also well known for being packaged with a prize of nominal value inside." Nominal value pshaw. Tennessee owes Nash Nance (and perhaps Da'Rick Rogers) to the deliciously fun snack food ($?):
Strangest/funniest thing that happened in the recruiting process?
"There was a lot of crazy stuff," Nance said. "All the e-mails that I got. Probably the craziest thing was when I was still committed to Vanderbilt and dad was eating out of a cracker jack box. I was on the computer and we had been in touch with Tennessee. It was a big decision and Tennessee had just left the house. Dad throws me a puzzle piece from the cracker jack box with an orange T on it. I knew it was a sign." - Catching up with Nu'Keese Richardson, who's starting over at Hampton University. The feature includes some additional details on the pellet gun fiasco that you might not have heard before.

Nu'Keese says he regrets coming to Tennessee
like he wouldn’t have been drinking and smoking pot if he went to Florida… right.
There had been joyous moments in his life — such as the day he signed with Tennessee and spurned Florida, a decision he now regrets — when he knew she would have been proud of him. But he was desperate as he spoke silently to her in his cell.
No direct quote, no context, no anything. That comment could mean anything the writer wants it to, and could mean any number of things for Nu’Keese.

Well, the Nuke article confirms what we already suspected
It was an attempted prank in the first place, just a very, very (even criminally) stupid one.
Glad Scotty’s buckling down. It’d be nice to be able to count on him next year. And LaMarcus is pretty well-spoken.
Oh, and thanks.

My questions to Scotty on the 500-700 FT's
Glad that you are putting in the work. Most kids neglect the FT’s and it shows in their percentages. Perhaps you have learned this lesson after last year and are now putting in the work?
Have you had someone coaching your form on these FTs? Not saying you need to look like Chris Lofton, but that wouldn’t be a bad place to start…Last year, you looked tight and lacked confidence. The form wasn’t as awful as Pajamas, but there was no lift from the feet upward…
Are you simulating game conditions? Dog tired or iced completely or are you shooting 100 in a row?
I love the practice, but I hope it’s the right kind of practice so that your percentage jumps into the 70’s next year.
