Recruiting Forum: Football Talk XV

As a longtime Titans fan, Mariota, Prescott, Winston, and Hundley look like Vince Young clones, to me.

Felt the same way about EJ Manuel and Geno Smith and Jake Locker.

The athlete disguised as a QB has got to be one of the lowest percentage picks in the NFL draft.

 

[eazyTD]

This wording....

Does that mean Abernathy is counted in that 28? Or we are taking 28 and also Abernathy?

A poster asked Paul "Is 28 still the number in this class?"

Paul: "Yes, I believe so. That may include the Abernathy brother when it's all said and done."

Mariota may not be great, but he's indescribably smarter than VY

Young was a moron. And to be fair I havent seen Mariota enough to tell if he's in that class or more of the Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson type guys who extend plays.

Tennessee will open the 2015 football season on Sept. 5 at Nashville's LP Field against Bowling Green State University of the Mid-American Conference.

 

[UTMark]

If the Titans take a QB with their 1st pick, I'll give up my season tickets. Mettenberger is a better QB then our pass rushers, linebackers, or corners. If Cooper is there, I'll be ok with that because he's a game changer.

Congrats to you.

You too, Face.

Thanks! :good!:

Official? Much better than a 1-AA team.

Maybe BG wants to scout Jake out as HC?? Maybe he will call the best game of his life.

With all the SEC Now and volleyball and 1991 Alabama vs whoever that goes on at the SEC Network, I have a suggestion. Next year do a SEC Bowl Selection show. It can be live all day on selection day starting after playoff teams are chosen and announce them as they are selected because otherwise twitter will spoil it.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Fortenberry just said we will take 28 this signing class including RDAIV

So, what are we at now?

 

[Dust10]

That is correct. He should only count to the 85 team limit.

He will count against the EE limit though, since we can only enroll as many as we graduate. I think that number is 12 if I remember correctly.

 

[Dust10]

So, what are we at now?

26, including RDAIV.

 

[VolinArizona]

I know Paul knows his stuff, but the quest was wrong last year with their numbers. I still believe it's 25 but at this point I have no idea.

BGSU returns 19 starters next year. How long till they get turned into Green Bay by some posters? It happens every year. A lot of people had Utah State on the same level as the 85 Bears.

 

[Catbone]

Bowling Green huh... yeah it'll probably be a similar situation to Utah State

 

[volsfan_17]

In terms of numbers. My understanding was Hendricks can't go to an SEC school without sitting out 2 years without a release. Additionally doesn't Abernathy count only against the 85 man? I was assuming he had graduated for UC and therefore could transfer at will to finish out his eligibility?

Here let me help out with the eventual hysteria

@patrickbrownTFP: Bowling Green will be coming off 3 straight bowl appearances, won 10 games last season. Solid mid-major program. Beat Indiana this season.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

26, including RDAIV.

I think we will take probably 30.....since apparently there are some players that are thinking about transferring. Also, I think there might be another decommitment or two.

I don't think it's 2 years. If he doesn't get his release, he would have to pay his own way for a year, and then be eligible

Well by that logic we'll lose by 30. They beat Indiana, who beat Mizzou, who beat us.

Blue font.

All I know is BGSU will lose 7-8 defensive starters from a team that gave up 34ppg in the Mac and was 7-6. lose 3 of 4 DEs. They have a front 7 that averages about 233lbs. Not even kidding. We thougt we were undersized and our front 7 averages about 260 in comparison.

I think we return somewhere in the neighborhood of 19 starters too. WHAT?? *in lil jon voice*

 

[Mike4Vols]

Yeah !!! That is what I am saying. Raiders are so short of playmakers I think they draft him.

Yea. And the Raiders have always had a stiffy for big, fast wide receivers.
