Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[VEKZY]

See ya in February when we close with Wright gray and crouch

Next year is our year.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

You guys wanna start a GofundMe account for Tennessee's Bagman?

 

[JacketVol]

AV is good people, but yikes I can’t take him seriously anymore.

You guys don't understand Jack about recruiting and kids and what they say and do. @Atlanta VOL these guys that like this don't deserve your time appreciate you but I would stop posting because these jack ***** don't deserve your time

 

[Weezer]

It's not a bad class, just a bunch of belly achin cry babies who jump at the chance to bitch!!!

So it's not okay to hope for more and feel disappointed when we don't get it? That breeds mediocrity. People can go too far with their disappointment, but it's not wrong to want better.

 

[JacketVol]

Nobody has real access unless they are actually part of the staff in some capacity tbh. Most of the stuff is just here say from people that work for UT in other roles or media friends.

Even guys on the staff get misled by these kids.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

What is the excuse for Pruitt now, last year it was he didnt have enough time to recruit. Yet here we are once again and it's the same song and dance

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Besides, keeping our S&C is a huge deal. I expect a lot of last year's freshman to make strides this off-season.

Guys like Emerson, JJ, Lawless, Carvin, Gooden, Mincey, Ollie, etc.

is it?

Three booms still in play,

1. Crouch signs early 11th hour
2. OC announcement
3. Wright signs early 11th hour

What do you mean? Did someone flip from us?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Today, Clemson has signed: 2 5*...10 4*...14 3*

In the end, our class could look very similar to theirs...although, they are in the CFP for the fourth year in a row, and we are 9-15 over the last two yrs; yet, people bit*h.

Some prople think with their emotions unfortunately.

@SugarCC this is the type you were referring to .

 

[AllVol11717]

AV posts what he hears, and what he hears comes from someone else in the program and so on and so forth. It's a game of telephone, and one that can be completely undone when a recruit isn't honest (see Gabe Wright, Quay Walker, now Joseph Anderson, etc.). So if you take the info as absolute fact then that's on you, and chasing a poster around a forum to "check his stats" or any of the other idiotic behavior that's gone on today is just sad.

I cannot wait for ESD to be over so all these idiots get back out da RF

It would take a miracle for our staff to turn Lawless into a player.

1. Crouch signs early 11th hour
2. OC announcement

3. My backyard is actually a diamond mine
4. The land of fairies and dragons is real

At least it's given my ignore button a good workout.

 

[DD4ME]

I can’t help but wonder if we landed an OC, or had a plan in place...it wouldn’t have helped create a little buzz and could’ve helped in recruiting.

You mean besides Osovet.

 

[ScottishVol]

What you did here...I seen it!

 

[roosterjbh]

can’t help but be a little disappointed at some of the misses, but I think Feb will be good for us

 

[VEKZY]

We have an OC (95% am i rite?). We just needed to keep Helter Skelter on the recruiting trail so we could land some yuge commits.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Really easy to distinguish the level-headed from the teenage girls on ESD or NSD. Honestly, that is a slight on teenage girls with the way some of you guys act.

Lawless?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Next year is our year.

You mean with Bailey coming in to play behind the OL we're getting this year then other big time recruits will want to join them? I never thought of that.

 

[Vols410]

Before everyone jumps off a ledge with our swings for the fences today, we already have surpassed the 247 composite points from last year with only 21 current commits. If we were to add Wright, Crouch, Gray, we’d have 268.46. That would of been good for right around the 10th best class last year (and is currently around 10 this year).

Points:
2018 - 231.34 (22 commits)
2019 - 243.09 (21 commits)
2019 - 268.46 (add Wright, Crouch, Gray)

If we land Wright/Crouch/Gray:

2019 Pruitt

2 5-stars​

9 4-stars​

13 3-stars​

268.46 points​

90.22 average​

​

2007 Saban

0 5-stars​

8 4-stars​

16 3-stars​

241.78 points​

87.81 average​

The fact that we're coming off 2-14 in the SEC the last two years and doing as well as we are is impressive. Even Saban didn't recruit like Saban coming off of his first 7-6 year.
The 90.22 average would also be the highest for us since 2009, we've majorly beefed up our biggest position of need at OL, added some JUCO stopgaps for the DL, and have gotten a solid player at every position on the field. Use this to solidify our place above Kentucky/Vandy/USCe/Mizzou and work from there.
