Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXVI

[BaldBiker]

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

Not even gonna lie. I laughed.

Regarding Byrd. Isn't easier to make it in the NFL as a corner? Was it his call to play WR or was he asked due to depth?

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Do it after the year instead of being a quitter

More incentive nowadays for kids to transfer early in a season.

If he does now, he could conceivably play week 4 next season.

 

[Aesius]

I'm all aboard the Venables train. He's a strange looking dude, though.

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

Great news

If we go 7-5 or worse I say fire butch, make Larry Scott the interim head coach, make Gillespie the OC, and see if you can convince shoop to stay. Just take a year to plan it out and recruit a great coach. Get all the finances figured out. I think the team would rally around the coaches and that it would keep the 2018 class mostly intact.

The loophole is graduating from a JC which is impossible for most kids.

Shouldn't be too difficult for a second year play like Byrd who has 2 semesters and 2-4 miniterms under his belt at UT already.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

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.

How many carries did Kamara have against App St?

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Bob Stoops just followed 3-4 Vol commits on twitter. TFWIW & it's probably not worth much but it's odd

 

[InVOLuntary]

Tyler out of those 10 passes inside the 10, how many should we have thrown?

Wtf does that tweet even mean? Peace?

All depends on classes taken, major and juco. I don't like the loophole. It shouldn't exist imo

 

[BruinVol]

People are interpreting it as saying "I am out"

 

[31VFL]

Could mean peace out from twitter, could mean he gone, or could mean nothing lol

 

[InVOLuntary]

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.

Did someone on here or VQ that claims to know the family say that Byrd preferred wr?

 

[JacketVol]

Lol. My contacts at the time we're on the booster side. While I still have those relationships, Currie has not been here long enough to solidify many of those relationships. Hopefully over time those relationships will evolve and I will get more info.

You are not wrong on any of this.

Somebody on here said he talked to his brother in a bar.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I mean who really cares if Byrd leaves.

I am sure we can find another blocker.

 

[JacketVol]

Stoops is using this opportunity to recruit for Oklahoma. He's sees that the writing is on the wall for Jones.

This and it is not happening. It may be we could see some guys opening their recruiting instead. This is a big concern.

 

[Smokey123]

Pretty sure Byrd means bye to twitter. Lots did that before and after GT too.... He did like this tweet tho

Good call. I remember when I think it was Spurrier banned his kids from twitter and we all laughed. They don't need to be on it posting or especially reading.

 

[Smokey123]

Bob stoops started Following Joshua Moore, Stoops to Nebraska confirmed.

Also, People are making accounts of players and even parents and starting rumors. Sooo don't believe everything u see on there

Glad I'm not the only one who's on the Venables train

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

If players start transferring then fire Butch now. We can't have that. JG is the future. We can't risk losing him because we want to let Butch lead us to a 7-5 season. JG needs to start from now on anyways, QD is not the guy

Regarding Byrd. Isn't easier to make it in the NFL as a corner? Was it his call to play WR or was he asked due to depth?

In an interview his freshmen year, he said he was asked to play WR due to a need there, and he said he wanted to help the team. It seems like they asked a followup along the lines of if he would prefer to play DB, and he just said he's a WR.
