Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Chief Vol 13]

If we give Pruitt the same patience and faith that Clemson gave Dabo..he will succeed. I believe that. I think he is a better pure footbaw coach than Dubbo.

I think the Clemson program would be a realistic model of what we could expect Tennessee to be in the future under Pruitt. Stack top 10-12 classes on top of another, and have a coaching staff that can consistently evaluate and develop that talent, which I think we have. Pruitt himself will develop as a head coach with each year that goes by. The more I think on it, the more I think this rebuild is going to take more time than I initially thought. Yes I think we'll be around the 7 or 8 win mark next year at least, but I think it's going to be year three and four before we can really expect to get serious momentum in this league.

Don’t be shocked if Byrd and Fills-Amin end up going the Coleman route.

Actually expecting this.
Even if Byrd doesn't make it, I wouldn't trade pissing those Miami fans off for anything

See y'all

After the season, yeah. Or do you think they've decided to go ahead and bail?

Hearing it could be mid season.

I thought Bryd was impressing in camp...

 

[LA Vol]

Hearing it could be mid season.

Seems like it would be better to either leave now or wait till the end of the season. You hear anything about another guy that's talking about leaving?

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

I need to see a shutout Saturday.

Before the season started I said I would watch this team with one expectation: improvement throughout the year. I bought into the off-season hype and started to think we could win 8 games (suppose a miracle could still happen). Now I’m back to that initial mindset. Im thinking itll make things much more bearable.

 

[Catbone]

Could see Will McBride, Labruzza, Page and Reid leaving too

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Why don't you rednecks take all this ETSU discussion to the ETSU thread, before I...







JK... thread is up now.

 

[Smokey123]

Preston Williams had 6 catches for 50 yards vs Colorado, off to a hot start

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

He also smoked a doobie for medicinal purposes. He has glaucoma. Lol

 

[HankHill]

Reid is right there at the starting LB spot. He’s got a chance.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I've got bad news fellas. This rebuild is going to take longer than we hoped, and should in no ways be compared to Kirby.

2020 is the earliest you are going to potentially see what you are looking for.

2019 will be improvement, but still probably 7-8 wins.

 

[Catbone]

What’s an acceptable score for Saturday?

Ehhh... Win by at least 3 TDs and not give up more than 2 TDs

 

[Catbone]

Reid is right there at the starting LB spot. He’s got a chance.

Interesting

 

[LA Vol]

I think it was just frustration talking. That's why I asked Hank. I think anybody serious about leaving would have done it yesterday or today, like Coleman.

I'd take 8 wins today for 2019 season. Looking at that schedule its completely reasonable too.

Didn't you pretty much flame me for saying this before the season?

 

[Smokey123]

Reid is right there at the starting LB spot. He’s got a chance.

So you think he’ll play a lot Saturday?
What about ignont

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

2019 we play 3 non conference cupcakes plus BYU. Ky, Vandy, and Mizz without Lock. That should easily be 7 wins at a minimum
