Recruiting Forum Football Talk XIX

Watching highlights and game reruns, its a little silly to me how in every game, the broadcasters absolutely slobber all over Jalen Hurd...and then this preseason rolls around and everyone has promptly forgotten about him in favor of Chubb and Fournette. Not that they aren't as good or even better...but come on.

 

[chavisut]

Is that 265 lbs?

No.

That gym looks awesome.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Looks like he has two 45 lb weight on each side. The bar weight is 45. That's 225 . So it's Def over 250 he's lifting

Agreed. Two 45's on each side with two 10's. It appears to be the same chipped up weights I used to use in high school.

Those are bumper plates.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Ok. 165 then.

 

[SamRebel35]

45+45+45+10+10+10+10=175

They are better-Heisman candidates.

Hurds time will come. Most likely next year. If he is not a Heisman candidate, I will be very disappointed but he is not quite at Chubb's level yet.

The wide-angle lens is messing with you.

45+45+45+10+10+5+5 = 165

And, yeah, those look like 45's with the rubber casing.

 

[WarMachine]

Yaaaassssss! So happy I wasn't the only person to immediately think of:

Glad somebody got the reference!

 

[kennedy262]

Isn't it crazy how far we've had to take college football amenities in 20 years?

That's not at a UT strength training facility.

 

[VolinArizona]

165 I think. I can't imagine the strength coach letting PM lift 265 on military press. It's rough on the shoulders

That's not a military press.

 

[volatil]

That's not at a UT strength training facility.

Its hard to argue the Chubb and Fornette angle with the season Chubb had and the AP hype around Fornette since HS. Since we struggled not a lot of mainstream people watched is play. After this year Hurd will have his chance to be labeled next to those guys or possibly ahead with a big year. All eyes on TN so people will be watching

In this video, there's a few seconds of Peyton lifting on campus in preparation for the NFL draft: Draft memory: Peyton Manning - NFL Videos

Maybe there was a significant renovation to the facilities in the years in between. Idk.

Oh yeah I guess those are fives on the end

 

[85SugarVol]

"Tennessee Whiskey" season tickets.

Bad. Azz.

Can't go to the game but I might shop around for some tickets just as a keepsake. Those are AWESOME!

He's every bit as good.Most of Chubb runs he is 5 yards into the secondary before anyone touches him.

 

[UTLEGEND]

That's not a military press.

Yea you're correct.

Well, that's good news, but the question is will that ever happen.

 

[engineerVOL]

"Once he is" is a lot different than "if he is" !!!
