Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLII

[Z06VolinWV]

Surely shy and kahlil will be back too...

 

[LaagerVol]

Who do we lose from the rotation, just Vickers and Kongbo? I think that should be a strength for us next year if we can hold onto Lawless, Emerson, Chatman etc

Isn't Kongbo a RS jr?

 

[Smokey123]

Yea I think CB will be the biggest area of concern next year. But even there, Shamburger looks like a player and hopefully some of the young guys take a step. Labruzza, Bailey, Osborne, we have some talent there that hasn't seen the field much yet.

Yea at CB you have Martin, Moseley, Wiggins all leaving. Possibly Gaulden too, wouldn't be shocked if the new coach moves Abernathy back to CB/NB. Hopefully Byrd moves too

 

[BruinVol]

You completely lost me. The O line is NOT fine, it needs a complete overhaul both mentally and physically other than Trey. That is the softest O line we've had since I can remember... no fight, no edge, and can't hold blocks to save their lives... sorry so blunt, but that to me has been one of our biggest issues this season. You have a line that is there to pave and pancake, and you have time to throw and lanes to run...not getting hurried and sacked constantly. Cade and Trey would be a great duo to start the build.

I agree with nearly all you say. I just think a new coach with a new attitude and a new scheme fixes all that. The talent is there is my point

 

[LaagerVol]

McDowell is a senior I think. Kirkland will return, or should. TKj will return.

McDowell can get a RS for this year though, right?

 

[chavisut]

Six wins wouldn't be a good coaching job.

 

[JAllen18]

It's a 6 to 8 win team.

New coach could do wonders with JG, and the WR's. That's the biggest weakness at this point. But I would agree 8 win team. Should be 2nd in the east behind GA.

 

[ionaVOL]

Great news on Kongbo, I hope he moves to DT permanently.

Does Alexis Johnson have any eligibility left? and what is Litaker's status, he won't contribute if he is here next year right?

DT
Kmac, Tuttle, Kongbo, Picou, Kivon Bennett, Lawless (Fr)

DE
Phillips, Taylor, Butler, Johnson, Gerald (Fr), Emerson (Fr)

 

[LaagerVol]

Kongbo is a junior. The DL shouldn't be young at all.

Agreed. If Kmac and Shy don't declare for the draft.

 

[Smokey123]

Oh yea you're right

 

[LaagerVol]

You would think, but you never know

I think Alexis Johnson is a RS jr as well

Yes on Alexis, he redshirted last year

 

[highspeed]

You would think, but you never know

I'm not making assumptions about anyone returning at this point. Just have to wait and see how the dust settles.

Yep

Yep, agree for sure. Key will be if new staff can develop them enough, quick enough... they can only go up...

 

[Nashvegas31]

At this point I'm hoping we get Mullen so,when,he falls flat on his face I can say told y'all so

We could hire Bobo and I would not wish this on him lame

 

[Nashvegas31]

I think Alexis Johnson is a RS jr as well

Who is this man you speak of? Jk

 

[JAllen18]

It's why this next hire is so important.

 

[BruinVol]

Yep, agree for sure. Key will be if new staff can develop them enough, quick enough... they can only go up...

I think most of the issue is with mentality and scheme with very little being physical. If i am correct that is a easy fix.

How many quarterbacks have been At UT that's had success other places ?

 

[Face]

We'll have a lot of young guys on the D-line but our team should be better next year.

TBH I’m tired of being in this scenario

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

The east is still terrible. This team could beat everyone except Ga and Bama next year

 

[InVOLuntary]

Won't Blair be back? Surely he's about ready to crack the lineup.

 

[Smokey123]

Recently? Peterman, Ferguson. Not a QB but Vic Wharton is doing really good this year at Cal
