Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Kingston Vol]

When I googled him this morning to read his resumé, the first result was “Bruce Arians would keep Freddie Kitchens if hired in Cleveland.”
Might be a long shot to get him.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

My money is on this kid being one bad mf’er next year.

We need leadership on this team. Just don't seem to have enough dogs out there who will compete through the thick and then. Everybody wants to be the man, but not everybody wants to do what the man do. Have to have leaders who can get guys off the turf when things don't go right.

 

[OrangenSC]

Well here's 1..

We desperately need to find him a position. The guy apparently cares more than most and we need that, especially if the rumors are true about cancers. I don't won't him to get discouraged and lose his fire. He needs to be on the field.

 

[DynaLo]

Well here's 1..

Give this young man the off season to learn his new position and slap that number 1 jersey on him..I think he'll be one that understands it and plays up to it.

WR could could go from strength to weakness quick if MC, JJ leave as it doesn't seem likely that Byrd/BJ stick around. I'd also doubt Latrell hangs around. Basically can only count on Palmer, Murphy, Tillman and whoever we recruit in that scenario as being here. May have to get AT and Bryce some WR touches

Jalen Mcklesky will be here most likely

No. Taylor and Thompson stay put. Only time the football needs to be in their hands is if they just forced a takeaway or they're returning a kick IMO.

Pretty sure he already picked Tulane

Picked Tulane days ago. Here is the story
Former OK State receiver transferring to Tulane

Kitchens seems like a very random name. No clue why he'd want to go back to college when the majority of his work has been in the NFL.

Kitchens really liked his college experience. He was like "Frank the tank" before the movie was written. Have heard from several folks through the years that he could put away a sh!t ton of beer.

That being said, maybe he wants to go back to college. Lol

We either need to cheat or give Pruitt 10 years. Probably both.

If you ain't cheatin', you ain't competin'

We either need to cheat or give Pruitt 10 years. Probably both.

On The Locker Room a few weeks ago, Mark Packer said that CJP told him that he wakes up angry every morning because he is 12 years behind everyone he is supposed to beat.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Florida Has an elite team with an elite offense? Lol

True, forgot about them, but we turned the ball over 8 times in that game so it isn’t like they just lined up and dominated us offensively

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

We need Hurts to transfer here. Then we need to develop Shrout or Maurer to come in and be the leader of this team. I like JG, but he isn’t a leade. He doesn’t affect his teammates at all.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

So was Dan Mullen's players he seemed to do ok. I think Pruitt can be good but i dont think he will ever be on the level as Florida or Georgia or obviously Bama. I guess we will see

Florida has far better athletes than us. It isn’t close

 

[MrVolton]

Florida has far better lines than us. It isn’t close

Fyp

 

[Ace]

Jalen Mcklesky will be here most likely

No, he announced Tulane

I like the recruiting forum becuase one day after the destruction of our season with despair being the pervading sentiment, the posters in this thread are rolling up their sleeves trying to diagnose how to get more talent on this roster. I know we all have dick to do with what happens, but hope is a constant undercurrent here. The speculation about how we turn this thing around helps me when the product on the field isn't worth writing home about.

 

[greazy1722]

How forgetful we are! Brandon Johnson was putting up great numbers for someone that didn’t even start,catching the ball everytime he was thrown to,that’s a lot more I can say than for some of these other starting receivers,his playing time decreased not because of production but because of his size,Pruitt wants Alabama like receivers which makes him picky and I don’t think he’s in any great position to do that,he needs to get the best players at every position on the field.Brandon was one of those players with experience at the position.

I really appreciate this post alot fans have forgotten how good and how he help this team..Only one wr matched his numbers from last year..Brandon had 37 catches with 582 yards rec last yr..No wr on this roster matched those numbers from last season..Pruitt took Brandon out of the rotation..Painful..Callaway had 34 catches for 556 yards..How is Brandon not on the field..

 

[greazy1722]

Alabama receivers aren’t big lol

Not funny at all..Pruitt had no control over who play or who is recruited at the wideout position at alabama..

 

[greazy1722]

Didn't decrease because of production? Smh more excuse making. Maybe it didn't decrease because of his production it sure as hell did because of Callaway, Palmer and Jennings stepping up theirs. He got beat out plain and simple and sounds like pouted his way to 4th and 5th string the way his backers talk

The three wr u named didnt match brandon numbers from last year..That only tell u more about ur head coach..Jennings didnt come close..

 

[HankHill]

Alabama receivers aren’t big lol

Yes neither Ruggs or Jeudy are very big.

 

[greazy1722]

MC is not a cancer but he’s turning pro and he is buds with a few who will be leaving. That’s ok. You can disagree with your friends.

Pro? What? He better come back another year

 

[Smokey123]

Not funny at all..Pruitt had no control over who play or who is recruited at the wideout position at alabama..

Ok? So why’d he mention bama recievers....

Haselwood will be our #1
