Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[wrangler]

For perspective, we still seem to be on track for what was generally expected when Pruitt was hired, with the 2020 class projected to be when we'd really have recruiting going strong.

And that makes sense. With each successive class, Pruitt & co. will have had one more year to build relationships with those recruits and high schools, and sell UT to them.

Thank God for a free America.

ain't nuthin free

 

[wrangler]

Pruitt says we have 12 guys Early Enrolling... VQ and 247 only have 8 listed. Who are the other four?

EEs and Roster Turnover...

 

[JacketVol]

@Atlanta VOL don't listen to him!

But I am right you know

You ever went drawerless in jorts?

 

[millst987]

If we get Gray, Wright, and Crouch this class is superb, imo. Only questionable take is the WR we took today. However, he camped so I will trust Pruitt on that one.

Only at NSB during Fla Alum week. (just seemed the thing to do.)

Pruitt said they really liked Means when he camped. Said he's big at 213lbs and very athletic, could play defense. But said they would start him out at WR. So sounds like he's just a very good athlete, big and fast, and once on campus they'll find a home for him.

Yeah, I never got the people saying we had to finish top 10 this year ir else. It's not going to change overnight. The more like Morris we get the better and the faster. Nobody can say the coaches are not trying. They swung for the fence for ESD, and we missed on some. Let's see how it finishes, and please quit expecting to compare with GA and AL right now.

That’s what freedom feels like.

 

[jakez4ut]

I’m not talking about our class, just the early signing day for the NCAAF.

Just speeds everything up. Not sure how good it is for the programs yet.

I think it's probably better for the players. You take a guy like Jamie pettaway who wanted to come here... And maybe he could have IF things happened that allowed it to. Instead he doesn't have to wait. He has options and is able to secure a spot now. May not be his first choice but he's not left hanging in the wind come February looking fur a landing spot.

That doesn't tell me who the 12 are...

a lot of big, strong, tough guys.

If we can substitute outright talent for toughness then this class will be looked at as the foundation.

Where did you even go?? lol

Haha got a promotion at work and don't have as much time to goof off anymore. Moral of the story is post constantly on VN at work for about 10 months and you'll get promoted.

Like hubbs said. We have to recruit better and people will twist it anyway they can with the diamonds in the rough. We have to recruit better.

We can sprinkle in some playmakers after we get the big uglies

I do agree with this statement as well. We need to hit on some of those big names we keep striking out on

Forgive me for skipping the past 34 pages, but I’ve got limited battery the next 36 hours while traveling and know it’s 90% tears and moans from ESD.

Can anyone give me anything worth hearing from the last 8 hours?

Thanks

Bout what I figured

Still Osovet whispers?

 

[OrangenSC]

The 95% is an inside joke that isn't related to Atlanta Vol

Sshh. You'll spoil the fun of watching people get their panties in a wad because people respect AV.

Nothing new at all on OC, Pruitt said he’s not worried about it right now

“Lost” Clemons to Memphis
Didn’t flip anyone
Didn’t sway any uncommitted
Signed everybody we thiught
QC is signing but announcing later
Fitz staying after all
Pruitt doesn’t think OCs are necessary

 

[JacketVol]

Man, go look at the 2017 class...

Take trey smith out of it Bc he may not play anymore...

There is like 4 players making any kind of an impact on the field and one is a kicker.

I’m sorry for ever saying a good word about butch.

respect.

What mills said, plus things are looking up for Crouch.

Days like this make me wary of counting chickens before they hatch (also like when Pappoe re-affirmed his commitment to Auburn).. BUT Clemson inked a full class, which bodes well on that front. Hoping for Gray to make it official tomorrow, and then we can sit on our hands until the second week of February.
