Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXVI

[vol72]

Wait until you see this group of freshmen in action. Some of them are crazy good. You have to be told they are true freshmen.

Waitin'

So Tee's still a VFL?

I don't know. I has the confused. :blink:

 

[WriterVol]

Sorry to quote myself. Well, no, nevermind, no I'm not. But anyways, if you haven't watched Stranger Things on Netflix yet, it's pretty awesome, especially if you're probably 35 or older.

Can confirm: am 35 or older; Stranger Things was awesome.

 

[Volnukem]

I don't think anyone on defense redshirts. Most of those guys will contribute on special teams at least. I think it will be a couple of the OL, JG, and maybe the Fils-Aime depending on the injury.

Crazy good enough to help win the east?

The one variable that is going against Georgia this year is are the players buying in. There are rumblings that not everyone has bought in and some guys are still loyal to Richt and thought he shouldn't have been let go. That's all hear say but if that is true, it will be a long year. Players buying in is critical. Something Butch did a great job with when he first came to the hill.

I agree with you. But the big difference is that there's probably still a LOT of guys on Georgia's roster that really like Richt. I would bet there were very few on the team Butch inherited that were fiercely loyal to Doofus.

I don't believe he is, just good ole coach speak... I do think that he does not like Kiffin.

I agree that most of them will play on STs or in mop-up after the starters are pulled. I was surprised because CBJ has always stressed playing FR out of necessity and said in the past that we wouldn't always be doing that. I thought we would move to more of a Saban-type model, where about 10 players are redshirted and put through a year of conditioning and development before seeing the field.

I thought the same thing when I read that. I was thinking some of the reporters said there were a lot less freshman playing on special teams then past years as well.

I'd expect maybe half the freshman to redshirt and none of the JUCOs once the roster is in good shape. The WRs and maybe one freshman at OT will be pressed into action due to lack of depth, but outside of that the roster has stabilized and only redshirting 4 seems weird. I can certainly name more than 4 that won't sniff the two deep this year.

Well who does honestly? I don't even think Kiffin likes Kiffin. If I were that big of a douche canoe I doubt I would like myself very much.

 

[WarMachine]

I'm in the same boat. Except I still go through all of the recruits threads. I have to make sure the threads aren't bold. But when I go through them, I don't read everything. Mostly look for quotes and certain posters. We had a ton of quality posters here before, but looks like its been dwindled down to a minute amount.

Post more.

I'm 25 and loved it as well. As someone said...the acting is top notch.

there are some old farts on here today.

I will always appreciate what Tee did for Tennessee but I lost a bit of respect for him for what he said about Hurd - even with the apology. I do feel that players who become coaches for other schools can both have respect for and to the school where they played but also be professional at where they now coach. Gillespie is a perfect example, he's always professional with regard to both Tennessee and Florida.

 

[VolGee4]

I wonder if Maggit's injury on special teams last year has Butch playing more freshmen and young players on special teams. Other than Berry and Sutton returning, they don't want a key player injured on special teams.

Somebody actually referred to a brew of coffee as "the bomb.com" the other day. It frightened me because I thought she was a time traveler.

Looking forward to this in late September, hopefully:

It also depends on position. Because we are thin at WR, you will see most of the freshmen play. Warrior and Osborne are good enough to play immediately, and Kongbo and A. Johnson were recruited to play immediately. I don't have any information, but I would think all of the OL (unless an emergency), Blakely, and Brooks will redshirt.

True. There are always some FR that we recruit to play immediately and others that step up in camp and earn a spot. I just expected us to RS twice as many as CBJ said we will. It will be excellent if we have 21 incoming FR that are too good to keep off the field. If that's the case, we should have quality depth everywhere and be teed up for a playoff run.

Is Utvols88 an elderly white lady? I assumed they were a little girl because grownups drink coffee.

The coaches had hoped to RS Niehaus, Tatum and Ryan Johnson, but Hall's injury changes that. I still think we'd like to RS Niehaus-- he needs to put on weight. CFA, Jeff George and Brandon Johnson probably will play. The headliners from camp definitely will see PT, so I guess elimination gets us down to 4 fairly quickly.
