I have been saying there are a lot of soft quitters on this team, but everybody rips me for it...but now I guess it's ok?

Lol well you were right sounds like to me. Seems like a lot of guys on the team think they're working hard, but they're not really in reality. Hopefully this staff can straighten them out.

In light of the conversation during the broadcast I was trying to think of players I think would start for Bama or UGA. I came up with a handful. Not sure all of these would start necessarily as I'm.not super familiar with the other rosters but they would all be valuable pieces and would definitely play.

If you had to choose one to build your team around who would you pick. And did I leave anybody out?

Nigel Warrior
Shy Tuttle
Daniel Bituli
Darrin Kirkland
Jauan Jennings
Ty Chandler
Marquez Callaway
Trey Smith

Actually the correct answer is Trey Smith. So give me your 2nd choice.

I think guys that have a shot to be on this list after next season are

Baylen Buchanan
Osborne
Shamburger
Sapp
Theo Jackson
JJ Peterson
Kyle Phillips
Darrell Taylor
Drew Richmond
Jerome Carvin
Alontae Taylor
Dominick Wood-Anderson
Josh Palmer
Greg Emerson
Emmit Gooden

Who am I missing?

Trey Smith & Nigel Warrior

Maybe Shy Tuttle if he’s fully healthy and motivated.

That’s it.

The only thing it did is make 10% of the fanbase question whether or not they like the guy. Which is a useless thing to do. Especially considered this team is going to have to scratch and claw for a bowl game.

I’ll tell you this: he’s really getting the benefit of the doubt because Fulmer hired him. If he finished the poor recruiting effort off, made those comments, and was hired by Hamilton, Hart or Currie, the backlash would’ve been much more severe.

I still think it was a rookie mistake. However, I still like him and want him to succeed. Just because you question something a coach does, doesn’t mean you hate em. How do some of you even stay married?

As I said before, the honeymoon's over. Clearly fans are waiting and looking for reasons to start the criticism.

There's nothing about what he said that fans should be offended by or upset about. It's silly. But that's how we roll. I'm dreading the day something bad happens, like when we get our first lose. It's gonna be ugly.

I generally like Greg McIlroy in the announcer's booth, but his quick answer of "none, maybe Trey Smith" was the most homerific BS I've ever heard. Butch's classes as a whole were suspect, but he certainly added top-end guys that had offers from Bama/UGA/FSU/Auburn/etc. and I'm not talking about "uncommitable" offers either.

Some people will just never be able to get over JG pouting on the sidelines during that GT game.



Most of those people also choose to ignore the fact that Dormady quit on the team after JG took his job.


It’s probably the tattoos and the fact that he’s from up north.

If he says y’all then we’re good.

That's why an outsider has to be carful to delay those moments as long as he can. He needs a positive minded fanbase on social media For recruiting purposes Much more so than expressing his mind about empty seats for the spring the game.

Not doing the survey. What's it say?

Here is part of it:

The coaching staff is expected to conduct exit interviews with each player this week, and if Pruitt's harsh words after this past weekend's spring game are any indication, those interviews could lead some to consider transferring, unless they want to sit on the bench in 2018.

"Confront them," Pruitt said of his plan for the players who believes "flat out quit" as the Orange beat the White 34-7 in front of an announced crowd of 65,098.

"Confront them," he reiterated. "You know, there's nothing any better than peer pressure. It's easy to stand out there with your chest stuck out and pretend you're somebody that you're not."

With 12 players sidelined during the spring game with injuries expected to return and 14 players from the 2018 signing class and at least three graduate transfers joining the program this summer, the competition for playing time is set to increase this offseason, and Pruitt has indicated on numerous occasions that the Volunteers are not done shopping for players on the graduate transfer market.

That all sets the stage for some honest conversations this week with the players who struggled to meet Pruitt's standards over the 15 spring practices.

"I want us to finish strong academically this semester," Pruitt said. "I want them to do what's right from now until we get out of school. Some guys will go home in May; some guys will stay here. We'll meet with everybody and have our exit reviews this next week and kind of talk to them about where they're at, our expectations and what we want them to improve on this summer. So it'll probably be different for each individual."

Was about to say the same. He did go on to say, as said a page or two back, this team will look ENTIRELY different come fall. I did like how he said players just have not developed after arriving under Jones, glad they see it too.

I didn’t disagree with him, though I have not D4H’ed the Bama starting lineup
