Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[ATC_VOL]

Hey folks, I know how much you love polls and voting.

Vote for my little cousin. He’s in the 9th grade...

SJ Harris Jr.

Vote for the Commercial Appeal's boys athlete of the week for Sept. 24-29 (poll 10124370)

He’s got 60% of the vote right now. There’s some crazy stats there.

What did I miss in the last 50 pages?

Some guy is upset about instate recruiting about 3-5 pages back. Worth a look

 

[Nashvegas31]

Had no idea Mahomes would be this good. So used to air raid QBs being nothing in NFL.

Always have been surprised it never translated

Chat tidbits from last night:

Reid is quick but not someone this staff seems very high on. Ignont getting some serious run and looks like Sapp's role will expand after Saturday.

— Rob Lewis

Igont was assertive and physical on Saturday. Seems to be making progress. Definitely not a 3-down backer but he's a solid piece for this defense, especially with DK's limitations and struggles.

—simonton

Why Jordan Murphy has disappeared:

Struggling to pickup the offense, block on the perimeter. Still, I'd give him a look. He's the only speed guy in the WR room right now

- simonton


Kingston Harris - buzz at OL?

I havent heard much. But he was on the travel squad Saturday unlike a few other scholarship OL. Pruitt said two weeks ago they'd evaluate where he was during the bye week. I'd except an update on Harris sometime early next week.

- JS


Carvin is the back up center, per Price

​

Kirkland’s struggles?

lacks explosion because of the knee. Minimal to no weight work over the summer. Struggling to finish at contact.

Helton needs to watch this. Happy with Pruitt, but love me some Leach

Best coach we ever almost hired.

 

[RikidyBones]

This is so messed up...

they are trying to make sure it's all in the up and up. otherwise we'd start a GoFundMe for Darnell Wright and his ant bite. I get it but the optics seem harsh

they are also allowing a GoFundMe but it has to be managed by the school.

 

[MrVolton]

Best coach we ever almost hired.

If people would just look past the quirkiness, they’d see the guy is a winner that regularly beats teams that outtalent his. And personally, I like the quirkiness.

 

[mccrackb]

agree on the mindset part. i siap yesterday, but i don't worry about Thomas, Reed, Finau, Koepka or even DJ. they either have that competitive fire that they can feed off of, instead of viewing it as pressure, or in Koepka's and DJ's case, nothing ever gets to them, good or bad. they're freaking robots. lol.

i'd like to see guys like Kisner, Hoffman get a shot at the ryder cup. and if you need veterans, there's guys like Zack Johnson and Matt Kuchar out there, who aren't probably gonna win a ton, but they aren't gonna just go out and lose either, like Watson or Dechambeau.

us golf is in a good place, i'm not really complaining. but if they want to put together ryder cup teams that can compete, i think some of the "old guard" way of thinking needs to go. match play is just different.

Watson won a point, that’s more than Tiger did

 

[Kingston Vol]

Best coach we ever almost hired.

I just don’t think he would’ve recruited well enough.

 

[mccrackb]

Think coach might be talking a little too much here, regarding the football program.

You would know when someone talks too much.

 

[Skizer41]

He's a missed kick away from being ranked around #13 in the AP.

 

[jakez4ut]

Watson won a point, that’s more than Tiger did

he did, but it was in the partner portion. as a single, he's not very good.

 

[MrVolton]

He's a missed kick away from being ranked around #13 in the AP.

With historically the worst team in his conference.

 

[MrVolton]

I just don’t think he would’ve recruited well enough.

He’s never recruited at a program like Tennessee. The program itself would have him recruiting top 15-20. He’s not that kind of coach anyhow, he wouldjust recruit to his system which might or might not jive with recruiting service rankings.

 

[Vfl2407]

Uhhhh it is called a joke....lol tried to pick a funny picture. Been a vol since about 1984 or so.

I know, dude. I guess it’s self deprecating humor, on your part.
But, I get that pix with her equally ugly husband sent to me by opposing fans occasionally.
Not used to seeing a fellow Vol fan use it. But, it’s all good man.
The way we’ve played on the field lately is a lot uglier than Lulu, lol.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I like him too. I don't know how much he'd have won here but the ride would have been fun.

I would love to see what he could do with a uber talented offense sometime. I don't think he will really ever be a great HC, but he is a great OC.

 

[volatil]

I wonder if anyone is worried about recruiting instate

 

[InVOLuntary]

I would love to see what he could do with a uber talented offense sometime. I don't think he will really ever be a great HC, but he is a great OC.

Pair him with the right DC and that could change.

You don't know

Example 1,873 of why the NCAA is corrupt and senseless AF. Pitiful.
