Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[wrangler]

Beasley is in!

 

[LSU-SIU]

Do we even bagmen anymore?

I don't know, word on the street everyone else does now though. The NCAA might as well just shutdown enforcement at this point. (Just saying)

 

[LynxVol]

So none of the gits got got?

Who were the gits supposed to be?

 

[crazyguy]

Take a step back. Would you send your son to UT when they appear to not be able to hire an OC? What do we have that other schools don’t have? Everyone has great facilities now, NFL players are coming from many schools now. We have handicapped our recruiting with this OC hire and I’m not sure why anyone is surprised.

 

[DD4ME]

Guys UGA and Bama are hauling top talent because they are winning, not because of trucks. This is stupid. We are 20 spots above teams that trounced us on the field this year.

 

[LA Vol]

Means ran a 4.44 at camp

Most stats put him at 4.5 or 4.6.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

So this is going to be a polarizing day on here, huh?

Not surprising. This is the time of the year that unfortunately the RF door is wide open and let’s in the crazies from the FF. Happens every year. We could have a top 5 class in the rankings and idiots will still come here and try and rain on the parade.

There is a ton going on, NCAA is completely toothless.

Ran a 4.4 at our camp. Pruitt and co. felt he was good enough to go ahead and sign. I’m cool with it

Already did. And for every other future Vol that signs today.

Cool, absolutely nothing wrong with that, seriously... But I am not okay anymore with being happy with a 6-6 season... Our rivals are throwing out Raptors and signing 4-5* talent that are apparently happy to sit and wait behind the other 4-5* talent they recruited the year before, giving them incredible depth and talent for the future. The only way we get to that level is to sign kids at that level so that they perform at that level and we back to 9-10 win seasons... we are in just two different places right now...
Pruitt and staff are supposed to be elite recruiters, with now a full year under their belt, with now a AD and boosters behind them, selling rebuilding and instant playing time, and at this point, we are not getting it done. Time and February will tell.

 

[Baulder]

I love how the people starting all the crap today are never seen in the RF until today. Now excuse me while I enjoy not living in a persistent put of misery.

yeah but we were 20 spots above those same teams the past 3-4 years and they keep beating us with less... something has to change, right?

 

[volatil]

Cain picked Penn St

 

[SergeantVol]

Cain picked Penn St

Boo!

How many guys you know itching to make a raptor payment for a 5-7 team?
Donors are no different than recruits. Success breeds success. Now can we get back to beating USC and Vandy today? That should be easy.

but it's...

 

[BearCat204]

but it's...

I got one of those

 

[MetalVolunteer]

That Jerrod Means take was left field. Turning down and slow-playing guys with 4.4 speed to sign someone slower is a surprise. We have Keyton and need a second WR, so they must see a lot of potential.

Gotta agree. Not letting Brown commit when he wanted to, came back to bite us. That kid was all Orange.

 

[Volnut]

Anyone concerned over no signed letter from Burrell yet? Also, I have seen elsewhere that Ellis and Cain signed with Baylor and PSU respectively.

 

[BigSteve09]

I got one of those

you must be a 4 or 5 star

 

[BearCat204]

you must be a 4 or 5 star

1*......but I know a 5*

 

[DeusExMachina]

I got one of those

I'm sorry.

 

[RiotVol]

There really are good people everywhere of all ages.

Hm, oh I'm not saying you get everyone if you have unlimited outside resources, I'm saying there is a ton of stuff going on and some recruits get extra. The rules generally don't matter, especially on the high ticket targets. What if I told you there is a school (actually there are two, only one has been sanctioned) that has just recently been sanctioned yet things are even worse now then before the sanctioned? Pull out a map of the United States, look at the boot looking State go one State over to the right. Its to the point where all the schools around that State know as its pretty much in the open now. The NCAA is completely toothless.
