Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXIX

[The Breakerboy]

You're right. We're forgetting about SCAR. Muschamp would love to kill both UF's and UT's season in the same year-- with a terrible team that's struggling to make a bowl. That would be such an SECE thing to happen.

Florida QBs are terrible. Lol

 

[chavisut]

Last one I agree with.

He won the Big 10 pre-Harbaugh, Meyer, and Franklin. Unlike in the SEC, he played in the weaker Big Ten division. In the year of his second title, Hoke was at Michigan, and the interim coach was at OSU. For his third, Wisky went 8-5 that year, and Meyer was ineligible for postseason play while going 12-0. Not sure how that really counts.

All of which is still a more impressive resume.

Yeah I'm not a fan of Bielema like that. His team is looking worse than us. They've turn the ball over and not showed up in multiple games.

But, Arkansas is getting a pass because they are in a tougher division.

 

[Dust10]

I fully expect Florida to beat Arkansas, simply because I want the opposite to happen.

Does he have a roster close to ours?

 

[logginlarry]

Hogs beating UF this weekend?

I'll be there to do my share!

Butch better?

 

[LynxVol]

Should he? He's had the same amount of time as Butch to recruit.

Haha this is where I'm at now.

 

[BigZiti09]

Should he? He's had the same amount of time as Butch to recruit.

And started out with a better roster as well.

 

[chavisut]

No, he shouldn't.

 

[LA Vol]

I think Arky will give UF a game... but the Gators know their ticket to ATL is punched in Fayetteville. All they have to do now is beat Arky (and SCAR) to get to the SECCG. Motivation will carry them.

 

[JCP201]

I would take Bert all day.

Arkansas fans talk about how if they were in the East, they'd lost two games at most every year. (they would win out over all East teams)

Let's see them prove it against Florida!

 

[chavisut]

Downplay Big10 titles, but not MAC/BE.


Head 2 head.


Winning percentage.

Hear this all the time.

Then they're looking EXACTLY like us.

 

[LynxVol]

No, he shouldn't.

Why not?

 

[volatil]

Why not?

The talent level in high school for Arkansas is nowhere close to Tennessee. Historically UT has recruited nationally better than Arkansas.

 

[VolGee4]

All of which is still a more impressive resume.

Well, he has 7 more years of P5 coaching on Butch. I guess we can wait 7 more to compare

Or, we can just include Butch's 4 conference championships at CM and Cincy.

 

[chavisut]

Why not?

I can't believe this is actually a serious question.


We can go in circles if you actually believe Arky should recruit at same level.


Agree to disagree.

That's my motto for everything in life

 

[LA Vol]

This is a very pivotal weekend. If UF beats Arky and UK beats UGA, UT could finish 3rd in the SECE. That's just so wrong.

 

[LynxVol]

The talent level in high school for Arkansas is nowhere close to Tennessee. Historically UT has recruited nationally better than Arkansas.

So, Bielema will always get a pass during his tenure at Arkansas because he took over a program that historically doesn't recruit well and that doesn't have much HS talent in-state? It's not like TN's HS talent has been great. It's gained ground in the past few years. Should Arkansas fans be OK with being middle-of-the-road in the SEC west despite have a good coach?

Just trying to follow the logic.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Does he have a roster close to ours?

Why doesn't he have enough talent? Can he not recruit now?

 

[VolGee4]

Agree to disagree.

People think Petrino just developed talent at Arkansas. He actually had a couple of very good recruiting classes. He brought in many 4 star players.
