Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[BruinVol]

That's surprising to me. Don't we only have four scholarship backs with Fil-Aimes, Jordan, Chandler, and soon to be Gray?

I bet Banks ends up there

Technically I think Fant is still at RB.

 

[JAllen18]

I wouldn't be surprised if Pruitt goes after some big name transfers too.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No, I wasn't. I was pointing out the irony of how he was claiming all these guys were longshots and no reason to be disappointed about not getting them, when in many of their recruit threads he was posting his belief that they would be Vols. Kind of talking out of two sides of the mouth there,

Thanks for weighing in, dickdodge.

"Dickdodge"...lol

 

[JCP201]

Banks has a lot of potential at RB.

Pruitt says OC is overrated, will worry about that later

 

[Kingston Vol]

He’s totally trolling.

 

[jwilliams]

So we could sign Crouch this week, but we won't know about it until January. Gray is announcing tomorrow. That's pretty much it for ESD, right?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Pruitt says he will initially start Aaron Beasley as a DB.

I can imagine the quandary..Beastley is a underrated hoss on both sides..

The next Al..? That would be awesome..

 

[nesbuddha66]

He’s totally trolling.

I kind of hope so

 

[barrylee]

Can some of u gurus give me some scoop on Savion Williams, Middleton and Simmons 3 DL signees? Tks

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

He could be a baaaaad man at Safety.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Definitely a QB and DL.

I refuse to buy into the Crouch to the Vols hype..I just won't believe it till I see it.

They will plug holes!

 

[volfanCLT]

Things of note from Pruitt PC:

- huge emphasis put on winning HS players. Nearly all our recruits won at a very high level and most won state titles

- Both JUCO DL have 3 years of eligibility left. Didn’t realize that but that’s massive

- Roman Harrison will play LB

- Fields looks to play the star

- seemed excited about the 2 big bodied TEs we pulled in

yep

I think he will end up at LBer...and be a baaaaad man there.

 

[SaguaroVols]

Definitely a QB and DL.

I'd bet on Aubrey Solomon and another DL to end up here as transfers.

 

[Catbone]

Completely shut down the OC talk. Makes me think it will be a while before we know, which makes me think it could be an NFL guy

 

[LA Vol]

We can pick up grad transfers or late signees and forward-count them. I believe we'll do that to take a full class.

 

[JAllen18]

Headhunter at safety.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Pruitt also said we could sign two more offensive skill position guys.

Gray is obviously one.

I wonder if we go with receiver or another running back.

Not sure I would read that much into it. Think it was more about the fact that this was a press conference about early signing day and a lot of our early signees plus families were probably watching this knowing that they were going to be talked about and Pruitt did not want it to turn into a press conference about the offensive coordinator search

Strongly disagree with you. Just because some people choose to be optimistic, rather than negative all the time does not mean they are talking out two sides of their mouth. It's odd that you feel this way considering you post a lot of updates from TOS, but I guess they were talking out both sides of their mouths as well. If kids tell you one thing and then do another, is there really anything you can do about it? I'm rolling with who we got all day!
