Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Garren04]

Looks like coach is more concerned with recruiting an elite OL so the OC is able to do what's necessary to build a championship team. I think he made it clear this year would not be pretty, but the players would play hard. It's easy to blame the OC and QB when the offense doesn't click.

Well said gotta give it time

Pruitt said Banks might play at Lb this weekend. Just put him in and call a blitz and watch him eat

Doug Mathews just said Pruitt wants 25 in this class and will look at blue shirts to fill some of that fwiw

I heard the interview and he is basing that off what he said at halftime. Imo he may be talking that too literal

He also says KC may start.


Mathews is slipping imo

I'm completely new to football and recruiting. Is it common for a new staff to require more than a half season to install a completely new system with players recruited for a different system, and who the fan base routinely pans for lacking talent? Just curious.

Yes

 

[Nashvegas31]

Wow makes me wonder if he has worked there more than we know in closed part of practice. Similar to CFA being at RB and nobody knew until Saturday

Call delayed blitzes. Tell him to run through the hole but this time hit who has the ball.

Must be really, really tired of some of the older dudes tip-toeing.

From the videos from yesterday I'd say no on Banks being at MLB before yesterday

 

[RiotVol]

I wonder what the actual weight differential is now between Banks and Sapp. Sapp is listed as about 10lbs heavier, but he looks pretty light on TV for an SEC lb.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Good. Put Banks out there at MLB, he clearly wants to hit some people. Put JJ at OLB too. LETS SMASH THE COCKS

They’ll get to that number. I think it explains why new names are popping up. Isn’t the rule for a blue shirt that they aren’t “recruited” or whatever?

The biggest thing to me is how they open 25 scholarships. There are what, 13 graduating seniors? It means at least 12 guys processed.

Be careful.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Be careful.

I thought the same thing. I love DK, but he clearly isn’t as fast as he was before his injury. Let’s give Banks some opportunities

So we have the full number allowed on the team right now?

 

[jakez4ut]

If Banks plays well at lb... I'll be really excited.

It takes some stones to move a guy like that, be willing to play him, and do it all in a week in between games.

If it works, color me impressed as hell.

 

[Catbone]

0% chance we don't win at least 2 of those SEC games. We're going bowling.

Gruden

Get the best players here anyway you can.

Oh what could have been....

Nope. Generally that should be done in spring practice. By the time you get to game 1 under a new administration, new staff, new scheme, and players not recruited by that staff for that scheme, everything should be perfect.

Awesome. Thanks. That was the sense I was getting from a number of posters. Just wanted to confirm.

Or maybe...dang guys...give them until next year before you start replacing coaches.

I probably should have worded that better. I meant that's the order people call for heads.

I'm not calling for either. I'd rather see what the whole season looks like first (barring catastrophe).

 

[chavisut]

Get Banks over 230 this offseason and he will be a thumper at MLB.

This game and mizzou are tossups. I tend to think this will be the hardest game left on the schedule, but I could see a L to mizzou as well.
