Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

We need a 7-5 or 8-4 season bad in 2019. Would really solidify the momentum we have right now and make 2020 an absolutely monster recruiting class.

The “interview” lasted like 30 mins as well. It was not a real offer and I never blamed Tee for turning it down.

Butch’s fanboys didn’t want to believe it bc in their eyes butch did no wrong.

Bowl game should be absolute minimum. Ill be worried if we dont get 6

I absolutely love all the #prayforWhoever hashtags that go around after The Admiral likes tweets against UT.

#prayforArkansas

Wait, is someone on there actually saying 100% ARKANSAS should beat UT??

Yeah. OL still worries me. It would be so Tennessee for the team to be hugely improved overall, but the QB still gets .02 seconds in the pocket because our OL is trash.

Pruitt wants a lot of the in state talent this year. If we can land those guys we’ll be well on our way. My biggest want is that DE Murphy who was teammates with Tank. Hope we land him. Have to land some running backs in this class also.

We gotta start locking down the state. Tee is going to make a big difference there.

Correction. Aaron coaches at Oak Ridge. He grew up in and played for his dad at Sweetwater High School. Quit his job and became grad assistant under Bruce Pearl. Went to Oak Ridge after Pearl was fired. Pretty sure he coached Tee Higgins.

Thanks for the correction. I do remember him when he was in Knoxville. I guess my memory of him, before that, is a little hazy.

We need some guys on the DL to step up as well. Hopefully, Solomon gets his waiver.

No

For sure. There’s absolutely no way Jim Chaney and another year in the strength program isn’t worth at least two wins given how light the schedule is.

 

[NMVol]

OK truth is I hope Richmond stays to compete next year.

 

[LA Vol]

Lot of NBA scouts in Knoxville today. Chance to make a statement and stay unbeaten at home. Go Vols!

 

[Catbone]

Yeah OL is still going to be weak. But on paper we have an easier schedule and a better more experienced roster everywhere but the DL. Don't see any reason we can't do it

 

[Kingston Vol]

I don’t agree. He can be a good player and technically you would say he was one of our best offensive linemen last year. But he doesn’t bring it every week/snap/rep. That kind of inconsistency hurts the culture we’re trying to build.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

OK truth is I hope Richmond stays to compete next year.

It appears he has decided to stay.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Little off topic, but I just realized how nice it will be for Tennessee to land the highest rated uncommitted prospect in the country, by every recruiting service, during the second signing day. That is going to be great publicity for us and will continue this roll we have been on. At first I was a little disappointed that DW didn't commit in Decemeber, now I think it may be a good thing in the long run.

 

[Catbone]

Yeah but he needs to get his head on straight

 

[ScottishVol]

Curious on when the waiver decision will be made.

 

[butchna]

Honestly I’d take graham over Gillespie I always though jay was our better RB coach here.

For net results HERE...Gillespie was better. RB performance and recruiting.

 

[drvenner]

I am glad that UGA is imploding

Hopefully, they have missed their window and are cycling down.

 

[butchna]

These details popped up in a recent book. Before that, they weren’t public knowledge. Backing a coach before they stop deserving it isn’t being a fanboy just because the extreme opposite paints it that way.

 

[FranklinVFL]

In all honesty....seeing what is happening right now in our football program fills me with more hope than I have had in over a decade. The next years should provide for a re-emergence of our program from the abyss.

And when that happens, I was a statue of Fulmer right smack dab in front of the stadium.
