Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

I’d love to get bogle but I doubt it happens I think his mama is dictating his decision

Bogle isn't happening

 

[LA Vol]

I think Pruitt's comments about the OC being overrated was to get off the topic. He clearly didn't want to discuss anything about the OC position or the search and shut the media down every time they circled back.

 

[jakez4ut]

DBs that will come up and hit.

One of them is called "tank". That's a good place to start.

 

[McGeesPub]

It's funny reading this after all the posts about Butch not swinging for the fence. It's not like he didn't get several homeruns and doesn't have anymore coming up. It just didn't happen today.

I’ll agree, the ESD does cause overreaction for an unfinished product. If he gets those guys and we’re top ten, it’s copacetic. If we finish about where we are now, it’s not good enough.

 

[jakez4ut]

That's the kind of quote that fans use against coaches down the road

Except he didn't say that

 

[BruinVol]

Except he didn't say that

That's why I asked the OP. That seemed to be a little extreme

Yep. Today is about the players.

I don't blame him. Today was for the recruits. Not a freebie interview with Pruitt.

Wow, just caught up reading the posts for today. Some of you guys may want to hide the sharp knives and put away the scissors because an OC is probably gonna be announced pretty soon. If this recruiting class turned you off, the OC hire may just push you over the edge. I spent the day playing golf and that's my plan every day until the weather get too rough. See you on the flip side.

No, no, no, you can't be enjoying yourself while we're in here fixing all the problems.

 

[jakez4ut]

Our defense will be good next year....

Really depends on the DL. And lb. And safety.

 

[dwaugh]

I'd much rather have the right players than the highest rated players. Are we getting the right players? Time will tell.

OC was not the topic today as other's have noted. And that's not the discount the fact that we have an open position on staff.

 

[LA Vol]

Haha nah still kickin. Been a good few months but busy.

Welcome back! We thought maybe you were stranded on an island with no digital devices, thinking the Vols were still winning.

Ahhh.... My biggest fear is a comment that Pruitt made today. He said the OC position isn't really that important because it's the head coaches offensive theory is all that matters. I hope that doesn't mean what I think it means.

I thought he was talking about recruiting because coaches leave so much.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Bone played extremely well tonight. Double double with 24 & 11

That's been a theme this year. Someone different steps up. It was bone tonight. It might be Kyle one night. Would like to see Bowden go off one night. Can always count on admiral and grant. It's pick your poison with this team .

 

[CornFlake]

He really said that?

No, watch the vid..he was wanting to talk recruiting today..these guys demanding an OC now only hear what they want.

 

[butchna]

He really said that?

No. That’s a butchered retelling.

 

[OTR_Vol]

SIAP.

 

[jakez4ut]

You're not wrong. But. That's what people say when you don't get the highest rated players.

Just saying.

 

[ChismsHeadband]

Our defense will be good next year....

First team:

DL Daryl Middleton
DT Savion Williams
DT Emmit Gooden
DE/OLB Darrell Taylor

LB JJ Peterson
LB Daniel Bituli
LB Darrin Kirkland Jr
(LB Crouch OR Henry)

Same secondary as 2018
CB Alontae Taylor
CB Bryce Thompson
CB Baylen Buchanan
S Trevon Flowers
S Nigel Warrior

Second team:

DE Deandre Johnson
DE Jordan Allen
DL Matthew Butler
DT Greg Emerson (fingers crossed)
and we still have Eric Crosby who I'm holding out hope for. Thank god Fitz is staying.

LB Will Ignont
LB Shanon Reid
LB Jeremy Banks (maybe)

Then almost the entire secondary being 2019 signees:
CB Burrell
CB Fields
S Beasley
S McCollough
S Theo Jackson

I like, don't love, our starting defense. Have reservations about the depth. Some of these names I'm just hesitant on because they were Butch guys and that stench just hasn't washed off yet. If my projection above holds true (which it likely won't) that'll be 5 Butch guys on 1st team, 6 Butch guys on 2nd team. Already starting to see that roster flip.

 

[engineerVOL]

How funny would it have been if Liberty landed a 5-star recruit today?

Freeze: Whaaaat?

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Anyway listen to Mauer interview on WNML today. Sounds like a leader. Competing for QB1 on Day 1. Anyway we look for a Grad transfer QB, given we only have 3on scholarship?

 

[DD4ME]

Figured out what went wrong on some of our rumored flips today.
Rocker wrecked the chargers on the way to pick them up.

 

[Smokey123]

I can think of a worse class in recent memory

2012 and 2013 were both pretty bad overall, especially 2012
