Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Freeze never had a great running offense in the SEC from what I can recall. His passing attack was great though. We will really need to have some great WR/TE talent though.

The Chad Kelly years were great but they also had Treadwell, Moncrief, Engram, Metcalf, AJ Brown, etc

He brought those guys in tho so he gets credit for that. It was his plan and he got the players in place to execute that plan

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

There isn't room in the OF is there?

Camargo has to be in it imo

RF is gone. Markakis isn't coming back. Camargo is the utility infielder now.

I do think Freeze would struggle to live up to the hype (which would be outrageous). I’d be OK with the hire, but I’m not sure that he’s the best offensive mind in the country or whatever people are saying. He’s a high school girls basketball coach who won with a loaded roster. But hey, our rec center pool manager OC did pretty well, so I can live with a girls basketball coach.

Love the Donaldson signing. Don't love the McCann signing. But if they add a big time corner OF that will make up for the hole in the lineup at catcher.

Bryce is gonna look good in right.

Oh yeah completely agree. I'm countering that with the expectations (right or wrong) that Pruitt wants a ball-control, run heavy offense

Let go!!!

 

[rekinhavoc]

Sounds like an episode of Batman.
Will it be Mr Freeze?
Or will the Shark Humper bite with his giant donkey teeth?

Same bat time same bat channel.

 

[Ace]

George Quarles? Jk

Carmargo can be an everyday player moving around I guess. I think he's a 25hr guy pretty soon in his career

Yeah but I don't think he plays OF.

Bryce is gonna look good in right for the Cubs.

If UT and Freeze want each other, I'd gently remind Skanky that there is probably enough "dirty knowledge" on our staff right now to roast the 2 SEC darlings for a good long time...

 

[SpringBokVol]

This should be fun

I like the way you think. *tips hat*

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

any thoughts on the next OC?

 

[butchna]

The only guy I’m okay with if we promote from within. But I’d rather have a guy with big time collegiate experience

Tino Sunseri is going to be a good one too imo. Hiring Freeze would put this recruiting class on nitro!

If Freeze is a great offensive mind, he can adapt his system. Regardless of who coach Pruitt hires, he needs to let the OC tailor the offense around the players he has to work with. It won't work with any OC if he tries to force a square peg in a round hole. If Coach Pruitt wants a power running game, he needs to recruit for that style but in the meantime get the most out of what you have. If you have the personnel to be a throw it all over the field type team, then throw it all over the field. Whatever gives you the best chance at winning.

I doubt Pappoe comes here now that Helton is gone

I took you off ignore for this? FML

 

[BruinVol]

Yeah but I don't think he plays OF.

I agree with this guy

 

[butchna]

It makes no sense. Why a juco coach gets the knod over a guy with real experience is beyond me

You limit yourself. Gundy found his OC from JUCO on the internet...and other programs are trying to steal him.

McCann for 2 million isn't that bad.. Kind of think he was brought in to control the clubhouse since Markakis is probably gone.

The conference definitely played a part in that too. When you're playing Bama/Auburn/LSU every year 4.5 YPC for the season from your RBs isn't bad at all.

As for the players, he took over a team that averaged 16 ppg in 2011, and got them above 30 both years before he had any of those guys you mentioned.

It's rare

We have way too much $ to go the "rare" route

Swamp Donkey also OC'd Alabama's first ever Heisman Trophy winner.

That's my thinking too. He just doesn't add anything offensively which is frustrating.
