Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[chavisut]

It’s a confused look. I take offense to Clemson’s too.. purple is weak sauce.

Disagree strongly, although those cleats are ugly.

Purple rocks.

Rivals.com - Three-point stance: Top coaches, Pitt-Penn State, SEC drop-off

5. Butch Jones, Tennessee – A great talent evaluator at his previous stops, Jones has proven he can recruit with the best of them on the national stage and win some huge battles, especially out of state.

Look! He found an opinion article!

Pretty much exactly how I feel. I think the staff was almost miraculously able to rouse them enough to turn in the only solid performances they got out of a lot of them all year.

That was sarcastic. Giving players or coaches 100% of blame or fault is crazy.

Clemson has great uniforms

I’m freakly just trying to get the topic off Florida! Not working, you’re the only one who bit.

Butch brought in two elite classes. He competed against plenty of major programs and won. The development was bad

Struggle? Lol

Those classes were good, but they were not truly elite. Overinflated and way overrated.

Lol you call that a meaningless season/win at Florida over a 10 win Michigan team in a bowl game in which we would kill for. What bowl are we in again? I can’t remember? When is the last time we won 10 games? If Pruitt did that here in year 1 he would have a statue. But it’s not Tn so it’s meaningless

Mullen wouldn’t have done it here either. This is apples and oranges. And yes, that win over mich is not very impressive. They aren’t good. And three of their best players aren’t playing. Who cares?

If Pruitt won 10 games here with this roster he would be taking down Saban next year. What’s your expectation for Mehlen at Fl next year? He’ll do about the same. Lose to Ga again, lose to LSU since it’ll be on the road, and heck, might lose to TN with the talent coach is bringing in. This is about as good as it will get for him.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We had 9 draft picks in ‘17 and ‘18.

Butch recruited talent. Just didn’t sustain that recruiting or develop it.

The problem wasn't the 9 or whatever, it was the rest.

 

[VolGee4]

There is literally no way to say which players would come here and wouldn’t. That’s just all hogwash.

Every head coach we’ve had has gotten nfl guys here. Mullen would be no different.

Dooley got the benefit of high level players enrolling early before Kiffin left. He did not recruit very well for UT.

There are no real facts to suggest that Mullen would automatically pull in top 10 classes either. Just a debate that no one can claim a winner.

 

[volatil]

Which begs the question... how long would Tennessee fans be content with 9-3 seasons with losses to FL, UGA & Bama regularly?

Pre 2007 or post

I wasn't being sarcastic.

Holgorsen's kids live in Texas, thats why he wanted the Texas Tech job earlier and the Houston job now.

If his name is out there, you should figure Houston had already asked him before firing Applewhite.

I expect UF to compete with UGA for east next year. They’re young.

 

[31VFL]

On the uniform front, I am a fan of these.

 

[Smokey123]

Those classes were good, but they were not truly elite. Overinflated and way overrated.

If a top 5 class isn’t elite I’d love to know what is.

Great all the way down the list, not just a few at the top.
