Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Greg not a JG fan?

Did Franks do any better last year with a much better line?

 

[volatil]

Kelly Bryant read he wasn’t tier 1



So he quit

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Greg not a JG fan?

Franks is TRASH! He's horrible.

 

[85SugarVol]

We have no idea if he was vindicated or not. He is back on the team. That does not mean he did not do anything wrong. You don't hit a police officer. At all. It's really as simple as that.

And KG is as pure and innocent as the driven snow.

 

[LynxVol]

Think there’s a case for JG to be in that 3rd tier. Franks being included is a head scratcher.

 

[VolGee4]

I’m basing it off the fact that George said the cop hit him first and now he’s back on the team after the details were seemingly sorted out behind the scenes. Pruitt doesn’t seem like the kind of guy that would bring people back if they hit a cop for no reason

Yep, because that's proof of what happened. You just jump to conclusions.

 

[Glitch]

You married guys must really exaggerate, or you're not doing something right.

Probably posting on VN more than they ought. Amirite!

 

[Smokeytom]

Big man fall hard

 

[Kingston Vol]

Fromm is good, but he ain’t in the same tier as Tua.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Fromm is good, but he ain’t in the same tier as Tua.

Not many are. Tua plays like he has eyes in the back of his head

 

[drvenner]

And KG is as pure and innocent as the driven snow.

I am sorry, who is KG?

 

[butchna]

I am sorry, who is KG?

Kenneth George?

I'm watching this live Q&A on the Athletic with David Ubben. I really like his work, but every time I start feeling optimistic about something football related, he brings me right back down to earth. Why can't we have just one guy that writes for us be a sunshine pumper?

You kind of have to when at any moment your dad could be beating your tail end.
(Did anyone else see that bizarre interview?)

 

[volatil]

[JacketVol]

It matches his worldview, so of course that’s what happened

Kid wouldn’t be on team if he hit a cop for no reason but to protect himself.

Sunshine is everywhere. I want honesty and real journalism which is extremely rare.

The summer hype is real and I’m a believer.

Point out someone that covers Tennessee football that isn't a straight shooter or doom and gloom all the time...

UGA, UF, Bama, Clemson, etc. all have "homers" covering them...

They're probably afraid of what our fans will do to them if they're wrong.

I’ve seen the work Jim Chaney did with Jon Crompton and I believe!

 

[yourstruly23]

By the way, this is the first time I’ve looked at Stassen’s site this preseason, and two things immediately caught my eye. One, look at that Michigan love. My goodness. Someone remind me the definition of insanity? And also, I have a new ready-made answer whenever anyone asks the inevitable, “Which team is getting too much hype coming into the season?”

If it is just a case of taking up space, any fatass could fulfill that role. Plenty of large kids do not learn to play proper technique. They get blown off the line of scrimmage. They never learn explosion and body lean; how to discipline themselves to staying parallel to the line of scrimmage. If it was easy, any big guy could do it. This young man seems like a talent, but he needs to be developed. Very few are just plug and play.

Technique is important at every position. You could say the same thing about a CB ("any fast kid could play that position if speed was all that mattered"). Simmons may or may not already have good technique coming out of high school depending on his coaching. My point was that he won't have to spend a lot of mental effort picking up the playbook as a NG, and so his learning curve shouldn't be as steep as just about any other position. And since he won't have to learn as much about assignments, he can spend more time focusing on his technique. Heh
