Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Smokey123]

Context of doing that with a Mississippi State team who also beat Auburn when they were riding high and ranked #2 and also against Texas A&M when they were ranked #6. Dont think you understand just how terrible that program was before he got there. The fact that they were even mentioned to be in the top 10 at any point was a damn miracle.

It’d be like taking Vandy to top 10

The Texas O-Line Coach, subtweeting those making the “Georgia wasn’t playing for anything” excuse:

 

[HankHill]

...or reeks of Hank talkin out his ass again.

It was Daniel Jeremiah and a cardinals beat reporter who tweeted it. Step out of the cave sometime friend.

 

[Smokey123]

C’mon now, he’s the second coming of Saban.... next year is a national championship for them the way it sounds around here

Bassmasters second account?

 

[SweetasSoda]

C’mon now, he’s the second coming of Saban.... next year is a national championship for them the way it sounds around here

I'm definitely expecting the playoffs in year 2.

Georgia wasn't playing for anything. Their dreams were crushed last year. Its commonly called "The Auburn Syndrome."

Nah, I do have a fabulous man cave.

Ok, in his first year at florida, he took a 4-7 team and won 10 games with them. He also made Felipe Franks look like a halfway decent quarterback, which is in itself a work of genius.

Yea, I got it. Let's see if he wins a championship. I also don't think he is the recruiter that a UT needs. Pruitt can recruit circles around him.

It's just my opinion.

Newt, I thought you of all people would appreciate good Teddy Roosevelt quote.

That's all we doing here is throwing out opinions

Oh I appreciate it when it is relevant.

Stick around. Some state opinions as facts.

 

[Smokey123]

This site would be boring if everyone agreed all the time

 

[delfonic]

Y'all should know that I asked a family member who has a close connection with Cooter if I should expect to see Cooter ('s name listed as a possible candidate for Tennessee's OC search) tonight. She said it depends on what kind of afternoon she has and what time the kids get to sleep.

I'll let y'all know how it goes and who our next OC will be a little later.

Its a fact to them, relatively speaking if you are in the metaphysical solipsism school.

Seen this story before. It ends in you going to sleep with blue balls

I looked back at our top ranked recruiting classes. I know that I don't have to tell you all this, but to say that this team lacks talent is an understatement. Looking back at the two top ranked classes it is crazy the attrition and the lack of impact these we can see there.

2014 ranked 7th nationally

Josh Malone: great 3rd year, gone now
Jalen Hurd: great player, but transfer
TK: battled injuries, serviceable player.
Dillion Bates: Non Factor
Dwayne Hendrix: Transfer, never factored
Derrell Scott: Transfer, never factored
Von Pearson: good player here, now plays for Memphis Express
Cortez McDowell: decent contributor, not elite
Daneil Helm: Transfer, non factor
Derek Barnett: Elite, drafted.
Dontavious Blair: Non Factor
D'andre Payne: transfer, Non Factor
Gavin Bryant: decent contributor
Chris Weathered: Non Factor
Evan Berry: Great KR, non factor on defense
Charles Mosley: Non Factor
Ethan Wolf: Good player, starter
Michael Sawyers: Kicked off team, non factor
Joe Henderson: transfer, non factor
Gaulden: Starter, great player, drafted
Treyvon Paulk: Kicked off team, non factor
Vic Wharton: Transfer, non factor
Jashon Robertson: good player, starter
Dimarya Mixon: transfer, non factor
Coleman Thomas: average player, contributor
Neiko Creamer: Transfer, non factor
Jakob Johnson: Non factor
Elliot Berry: Non factor
Ray Raulerson: Non Factor
Emmanuel Mosley: good player, starter
Owen Williams: good player, starter, now plays for Memphis Express
Aaron Medley: good player.

Of 32 players in the 2014 class, 14 players contributed here. None are on the roster currently. A staggering 17 players were a non factor.

2015 ranked 4th nationally.

Kmac: Average player: drafted and changed to OL
Kyle Phillips: good player, battled injuries.
Kamara: elite player: drafted
Preston Williams: Transfer, non factor
Shy Tuttle: Good player, starter
Drew Richmond: average but starter
Jack Jones: Medically retired, non factor
DK: battled injuries but good player
JJ: good player
Quarte Sapp: decent contributor, mostly non factor
Micah Abernathy: good player, starter
Sheriron Jones: transfer, non factor
Justin Martin: average player
Andrew Butcher: transfer, non factor
Quinton Dormady: bad player for half a season, transferred
Darrell Taylor: good player, starter
Venzell Boulware: transfer, non factor
Quay Picou: transfer, non factor
John Kelly, great player, drafted
Austin Smith: non factor
Kyle Oliver: transfer, non factor
Chance Hall: good player, but can't stay healthy
Stephen Griffin: transfer, non factor
Darrell Miller: transfer, non factor
Vincent Perry: transfer, non factor
Jocquez Bruce: transfer, non factor
Tommy Townsend: transfer, non factor
Joe Young, medically retired, non factor
Riley lovingood: good player
Zach Stewart: never enrolled, non factor

Out of 30 players, 14 players contributed. Again, a staggering 16 are non factors.

These were our two best classes on paper and out of 62 players, 33 never factored here. That's incredible.

Won't list the names, but in the 2016 class, 12 out of 22 players have been non factors. In the 2017 class, 15 out of 27 players have yet to be a factor here. That is 22 out of the 49 players taken in the previous two classes who, so far, have been complete non factors. Where is the talent? I admit it, I thought we had more talent than we do, but clearly, the cupboard is bare. This signing class is very, very important.

i've been saying this since last summer. the 15 class in particular should have been our veterans on this year's team. 2/3 of that class never even made it to the 2018 season and only 2 left for the NFL. 2 retired all together. the rest just went away for whatever reason. one of the remaining kids of that class is our long snapper.

the "talent" on this year's team was vastly overrated by many....and all those analysts that said our roster was not good, were a lot closer to being right than any of us wanted to admit.

Joe Henderson got his ass beat (literally) by Barnett and never returned
