Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXVI

[Z06VolinWV]

Poster on VQ says he knows Tyler and traded texts, says he's going to transfer and new should break soon. Honestly, I wouldn't blame the kid if he wants to play DB. Clearly not going to get his shot here and his talent is wasted at WR.

I spoke to Byrds step brother in Naples two weeks ago the night of the the GT game, and unless something has changed since then, he told me Tyler does not want to play DB. Tifwiw

Why did Daniel Bituli start only because of injuries?

because clearly this staff is lost on fantasy island...

Why did Daniel Bituli start only because of injuries?

Yeah. I don't understand bringing in Wiggins. I mean what did he do? Must have been pretty bad if he's behind Moseley and Martin. Those guys were getting picked on by Felipe Franks and whoever Fl. Trots out there. That being said, great play by Justin Martin. That play would have been the signature had we won

 

[rocktopper16]

If we do start loosing players I'd hope Curry let's him go or Butch will take the high toad and resign.

I like Butch and IMO he brought us back but that's far as he can bring us.


Hopefully he wins out though. If anyone deserves it it's Butch.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Welp. If the Byrd news is true that hurts. Just another aspect of Butch not knowing how to manage personnel. It shouldn’t be this hard for a talented young player to get playing time.

 

[I4Jay]

If he does leave , it doesn't hurt, he isn't being used.

I'm not ready to jump to conclusions over an emoji and a rumor.

Kelly and Kamara and Byrd will end up being the most underused stars Tennessee has ever had.

No freaking way. Kamara's numbers were good for missing a game and a half and having a QB who ran so much. Kelly will end up with great numbers. Great talent without more wins? Yes. Underused? Hardly.

Why would he do it mid year? Doesn't make sense.

 

[McGeesPub]

Why would he do it mid year? Doesn't make sense.

He only has to sit out three games next year if he does it now, I believe.

 

[jjay2518]

It's funny how all of a sudden we forget the reports that Byrd prefers playing Wr and yes Hurd is supposedly going to be a TE. ThAnsk for making this even more similar

There were never "reports". It was one guy who said he talked to Byrd's brother in a bar.

FYI your comparison is dumb.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

As fans we really are getting screwed over. Hopefully Currie steps up.

 

[jjay2518]

Isn't there a cut off date where he can transfer to a JUCO and not have to sit a year?

 

[rekinhavoc]

About the only time he doesn't look like a red faced toddler crapping his pants.

 

[BruinVol]

Nope. All next year he has to sit out

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Norvell is recruiting the best classes in Memphis history. He recruited Riley Ferguson.

It's not a guarantee, but he just needs a high level DC.

JG has a little RF in his game, I think. Norvell could probably put together a nice offense for us.

Not sure he's quite ready to be an SEC HC yet though.

 

[VolGee4]

I have never heard that. I know Blake Barnett was able to do it, but I don't think that's normal unless something has changed.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

I'm okay with giving Tee a chance. At least we know he can recruit and call a good offense. Butch is done.

He would run a slower offense that would help the defense stay fresh as well.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I’m not a fan of people tweeting at coaches/players/staff but this one made me chuckle.

I'm not sure either of us are right- don't know the complete rule. My understanding is that Blake Barnett has eligibility this year, and started games for Alabama last year.

 

[31VFL]

Isn't there a cut off date where he can transfer to a JUCO and not have to sit a year?

Barnett transferred from Alabama after 4 games last year and is eligible at Arizona St right now.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Looks like it was likely a troll on VQ about Byrd. Sorry guys.

 

[franklinpence]

Darth and I last ones on the train. Not over yet. Not looking good but not over.

I'm with you. 10 games left. Will likely be frustrated with calls, plays, or even the outcome, but I'm excited for good play calls, great plays and wins. January comes too soon to be miserable all fall.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Only if they hire a winner. We can't fire Butch and then hire Scott Satterfield. We have to get a proven winner if we're going to fire him.

Satterfield would be an upgrade, IMO. Recruiting would be a question, but he's a better coach IMO.

Yep. Similar in your own mind anyway. Guys play college ball to have a shot at the NFL. Hurd could have achieved that here. Unfortunately, I dont think Byrd will unless something changes.

He's just trolling again.
