Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[LA Vol]

Anyone know what to make of us looking at and even offering all these 2 star runningbacks?

Seems kind of odd considering we’re supposedly positioned well with Gray. Plus in the running for Crouch and Davis. Also having Beasley committed.

It'd be great to have two elite RBs in this class... but they're not afraid to develop depth if a high-potential player fits Pruitt's prototype. Gray's a speed back. Crouch is defense-first and Beasley may not end up in this class and like Crouch, could be on D if he does.

We need five quality RBs to execute Pruitt's power run game. Ideally, we sign Gray and a power back with the speed to hit the edge-- something Jordan can't do with consistency.

I hope it's a joke that we're offering two star running backs tbh

Don’t really care about RB rankings. They are like WRs. You can find them anywhere.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

If you think the SEC has been garbage outside of those teams what do you think of the ACC and the rest of the conferences? Landfills?

 

[jakez4ut]

They were supposed to play WVU so assuming that’s a L.

Clemson- L
Boston college- L
Syracuse- L

And i think Virginia and FSU are toss ups but being optimistic we win those.

my thoughts exactly.

Why wouldn’t Beasley be in the class? I know there was some grumblings of him having “issues”, but nothing seemed to come from that and in his last interview he sounded all in.

Have I missed something or is something going on behind the scenes?

Yeah. Then I look at the running backs UGA has had and say bring me the stars.

 

[Brillovol]

I also question our TE coaching. They are responsible for a lot of the busts.

I’m more suspicious about TE coaching than OL coaching.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Yeah right now nieds is a great recruiter but questionable coaching. Although we have John Lilly on staff who is one of best TE coaches in country. Not sure how much he can do in his role. Player options aren't exactly great for what we want either so willing to give a ? Mark for now

 

[engineerVOL]

Nieds is a Dude. That’s why he’s on staff. Every staff needs a Dude.

 

[HankHill]

Usually the top RBs always pan out so yea they are basically bust proof assuming their OL has a pulse. But with us right now RBs would be really low on my priority list of my recruiting focus. DL, LB, OL, QB are our biggest needs right now

 

[HankHill]

TE is a really underutilized position in college so if you’re gonna have a spot where they are better recruiters than coaches... i like it there.

 

[HankHill]

my thoughts exactly.

Yea we would basically be right where we are now. Our schedules are pretty similar honestly

Both play wvu
Clemson and bama are comparable
Georgia is probably better than any other team in the ACC but the rest of the teams are pretty similar.

 

[engineerVOL]

Ready to get this game started tomorrow!

Has felt like a loooong week, lads and lasses. Come tomorrow night we will feel really good about the prospects of a bowl and 2019 and beyond or dejected because Bowl isn’t likely and... well losing to Kentucky at home will suck something fierce.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Bama has played some good teams it's just they're basically an NFL team so it doesn't look fair.

Clemson is great but the rest of that conference isn't as good as the rest of the SEC. Not sure why this is even an argument. Tennessee would be 6-3 or 7-2 with NCSU's schedule. And they would be 3-6 with ours.

This is so obvious it's obviously not obvious.

So, I'm in Morocco, and I'm kind of getting a taste of what @nicksjuzunk goes through by being on the other side of the world. You refresh volnation and see almost no activity for hours, and then check back after the eastern US wakes up and find you're 10 pages behind all of a sudden.

What are you doing in Morocco? I spent most of September there with a week in Spain at the end of the trip. Casablanca, Marrakech, and a few nights in the Sahara.

I woke up at 3 am in Madrid and checked my phone during the UF game and saw we were down 27-3 or whatever it was early on. Not a pleasant way to wake up in the middle of the night.

Hey Atlanta people, anyone watching the game at a bar? I've been given a bro day pass. Let me knoooooow

Tight end production has been extremely poor in the NFL this year as well overall.
