Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Rivals250 is a joke. They are dog **** at rating. So much biased and $$ to get a ranking going on there. They're lucky to have Hubbs and crew or I would pull the plug.

you pay, you camp, you get stars.

trust your coaches folks.

I heard there is some speculation we may get another commitment soon. Who are the prime candidates? SIAP

I watched the Maryland press conference from yesterday and the national committee they named was 2 big time judges and 1 high powered lawyer and one other guy they are not ready to name yet but they said that person is a former head football coach and an athletic director. He didn't say former athletic director. Fulmer?

Dooley? He is a lawyer.

Speaking of being overhyped:



F/+ Projections vs. the Conventional Wisdom | Football Outsiders

Also potentially overrated:

Yeah a lot of that is a bunch of bunk IMO. I think we're fairly even with West Virginia, but South Carolina is a straight up better football team than Tennessee right now IMO. More talent that's been developed, and a veteran QB. Mushcamp's defense will be stout as well. There's a reason why will be an underdog in both games according to Vegas.

Doubt it’s a current AD. They have enough on their plate as is, they don’t have time to do a full time investigation into another school.

Who’s your breakout player of the year?

Offense: Jordan Murphy
Defense: JJ Peterson (j/k) Flowers

depends on how you define soon. Price was on Swain this morning and the timeline they discussed was over the next 30 days, which apparently includes the UF game weekend. mentioned Mcollough, Hill, Knox in that discussion, but there'll be a bunch of guys in town that weekend for UOV and OV's....

i don't know that we're waiting on anyone right now to pull a trigger. i could see some 20 guys jumping in early in the season if things get started off ok. but that's just speculation on my part, which is pretty much worthless.

 

[jakez4ut]

dude...relax.

I think Kongbo and a few others should be able to sue Butch for Criminal Negligence when it comes to their development and future NFL careers. He really messed a bunch of our boys up and might have cost them a lot of money.

How about just negligence? Don't think a crime occurred.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Hate it for the kid. Hope he recovers.

Don't hate it for gator fans. Mehlen seems as injury prone as ole Butchy.

Didn't seem that way when he was at Mississippi State

 

[drvenner]

Anyone arguing with ChattVol about numbers:

Because Rick Court would throw things at the players if they didn't play through it.

yeah, to get even money on both sides of the line.

Devin Bush

 

[jakez4ut]

Devin Bush

forgot about him. yeah, he may be the only one, and it'd be a great one to get.

 

[jakez4ut]

so given what appears to be at least some turmoil at LSU, with two qb's transferring out, does anyone think that may open the door with some guys that are either comitted or leaning to LSU that we want...guys like say, Hampton?

Anyone arguing with ChattVol about numbers:

Analytics can be a good thing, but sometimes they can draw conclusions that are a little too far west. Kind of like saying South Carolina was the second worst 9 win football team in the country last year, only being ahead of North Texas. That's a joke. Eat the chicken, throw out the bones. That's a bone.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Yeah he wasn't the head S&C coach there the last two years.

Wait, if you throw out the bone, how is it a bon......never mind.

Is there a team we could say something negative about that you wouldn't get upset about? You have no issue saying negative things about us, but if we ever say anything negative about anyone else you get real butt hurt.
