Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXII

[BaldBiker]

Not possible. I distinctly remember VN saying having a QB coach doesn't matter

It didn't...until it did.

 

[Kristy*]

At TE we will have: Pope/Eli Wolf/Bumphus/Brown after next season. Ethan graduates. Johnson graduates. 1 and 2 are both feasible I suppose. I would say get 2 if we aren't confident in Eli

Eli isn't scholarship (yet), and Bumphus may not stay at TE. If both look like contributors, then 1 may be sufficient for this class. Otherwise, I think we take 2.

 

[MCScots4]

Because Jimmy?

Classic Jimmy move

Walt Wells was arrested for DUI in February last year. He was suspended 2 weeks without pay, and he underwent treatment after that. Jimmy Hyams is tweeting about it now.

Who needs enemies when we have the Knoxville media

This should bother me why Jimmy? Obviously it wasn't a big deal to the press when it happened.

Lol...."and he underwent treatment after that".

@odd future this is why I think we take two ^

 

[Go Fight Win]

Which '18 QB do you want to see in orange the most?

I think Fields is going to have a dominant senior year and look for him to keep rising. Really hope that Canales gets his foot in the door and then Butch and Co. come crashing through to steal him from PSU and Franklin.

Emory, fields, kid from LA

In that order

The kid from Texas also has a very nice looking film

Lol!! Why in the world is the media out to hurt UT football as much as possible? It's insane!

 

[BigZiti09]

I thought Ernie Grunfield recommended Bruce.

Ernie recommended lots of guys and I'm glad we finally listened to him when we hired Bruce.

But I could almost guarantee you we used a search firm with Mike Hamilton as our AD.

Search firms are supposed to do some digging but we could have found Bruce simply by searching the NCAA basketball tournament during the sweet 16 weekend.

Last time we didn't use a search firm........ Donnie Tyndall who went under the NCAA microscope shortly after.

worst media in the country resides in knoxville. They hate their programs.

UT hates UT.

Hyams gon' Hyams. Apparently it was reduced to reckless driving.

 

[WarMachine]

SIAP

Corey Miller has been added to USCjr staff as an Assistant Strength and Conditioning coach.

Too bad he couldn't find a job at UT.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Too bad he couldn't find a job at UT.

He doesn't seem to be a big fan of Butch. May not have been a good fit

 

[WallyBalls]

Too bad he couldn't find a job at UT.

His HS coach is working at USC now and almost assuredly helped get him in. It's a good move for him if he leaves the drama and becomes a professional.

His little social media tantrums last year probably wouldn't have made him exactly welcome in UTs complex.

Any idea if UT could get back in on Emory Jones?

BREAKING: Per Jimmy Hyams, Peyton Manning stole one of Eli's toys when they were little and made Eli cry.

 

[MCScots4]

Doesn't have a prior DUI. Don't Want.

 

[OddFuture]

Very good possibility. I'm hoping Eli balls out and Bumphus finds his position quickly

 

[jave36]

Bruce Pearl

I don't recall a search firm being involved there? He was on top of almost everyone's list after his tourney run with a mid major. Surely we didn't need a search firm to recommend him.

 

[jave36]

Justin Fuente and Mike Norvell. Memphis used Eastman and Beaudine out of Texas.

Those were good ones. Any P5 examples?

 

[drvenner]

I heard he also mooned Eli and his mom saw it.

 

[drvenner]

This is hilarious!! Wait.....no......no....it's not.

Also, the feeble attempt at humor is based upon an inaccuracy. Walt Wells' charge was reduced to reckless driving, but don't let the facts get in the way of your agenda.

I thought the point of a search firm was to properly vet potential candidates. Make sure things like the whole Tyndall situation doesn't happen. I'm pretty sure they take input from the university on who to vet.
