Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[volfanCLT]

It’s Georgia then everybody else in the East. Kentucky beat Florida last year. Vandy plays hard under Mason. SC will be tough as nails like always.

Pruitt feels good about this team. If we stay healthy and the returning production predictions pay off then I think we could finish 2nd. If Trey can’t play, if JG goes down, if the freshmen don’t pick up the game fast, then we could easily be 5th at 6-6.

7 wins is my floor. 9 the ceiling. A Florida victory in the swamp and I’m happy with 6-6 though!

Yeah I’m pretty confident we go 4-0 OOC.

No gimmies in conference anymore though. Kentucky, Missouri, Vandy, MSU, SCjr have all played us relatively well lately. I see a couple very likely losses to the top teams and a whole lot of toss up/close games

I think both our DBs could pick off quite a few this season. Especially if we get a true coverage safety behind them. Either Flowers or Jaylen should fit that "center-fielder" type role better than Warrior or Kelly.

Georgia Tech QB from Clemson?

lol. grad transfer...he is one of those isn't he?

 

[BigOrangeVols]

So... Bryce was a freshman All American and Surtain wasn’t, but Surtain is second team and Bryce is nowhere to be found. Makes sense

Surtain is way better than Thompson. It's not even close.

Vols got no love from the media...

2019 Preseason All-SEC football team: Tua Tagovailoa highlights record 12 Alabama players selected

First Team Secondary:
Delpit - LSU
Reed - Georgia
Diggs - Bama
Henderson - Florida

Second Team Secondary:
Surtain - Bama
McKinney - Bama
Fulton - LSU
Dantzler - MSU

Third Team Secondary:
Acy - Missouri
Carter - Bama
LeCounte - Georgia
Thomas - Auburn

Lecounte is trash... Dude couldn't tackle a baby learning to crawl to on the field

motivation. just piling chips on shoulders at this point....hopefully anyway.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

More disappointed Acy who will be a senior has the same total of career INTs as Bryce had last season got 3rd team over him. And he also had less tackles in 2018 as well.

Dantzler is also being overhyped as well.

How is Thompson or Taylor not on that list? That's crazy. I would almost go out on a limb and say they each will be INT leaders of the conference but I know teams will wanna run on us first, pass second.

The orange stripe on the pants is not to be compared to the outrageous Oregon uniforms. It was still normal and traditional....just not plain. I love Tennessee orange. I like a Tennessee orange stripe. I'm beginning to question if some of y'all love TN enough lol.

 

[Devo182]

Get to take a trial run through PFF's video and data systems this weekend. Should be interesting.

yeah, believe warrior will be SS. Flowers FS. and you have options galore for Star....

i'm not concerned about our back 4. they aren't getting the recognition right now, and i understand why, but it's jut not a group i'm worried about. a little thin at CB specifically, but overall, i think that's as strong a group as our WR's.

 

[Brillovol]

I think JG with that Clemson team would have performed better than Bryant though, especially as a passer.

Let's flip this script.


Let's say JG was on that clemson team that went 12-2 with Bryant's stats (an entirely possible and highly probable situation). Now let's say JG transferred here.

What would be the prevailing VN theme this offseason? I promise you it would be different.

 

[MrVolton]

Yeah, see you're not painting the full picture here.

Rush Atts. Yards YPC TD
192 665 3.5 11
40 -40 -2.4 0

No. I mentioned the rushing. You’ve got to consider supporting cast when looking at the full picture too.

I’ve been around long enough to know we can’t count Vandy, Missouri or South Carolina as automatic wins.

Anyone acting any different is blowing smoke.

Going through application process to be an analyst.

in fairness, you'd only have had to been around about 10 years for that to be the case. so, your average 4th grader should be biting his fingernails at the sight of our schedule.

You can't count any game especially an SEC game as an automatic win. I thought people were just saying who they thought should win what games with the little information we have before fall practice starts.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Anyone know what this is about?

Sounds like he is cooking up a giant turd

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Lol

Surtain is an easy first rounder. Thompson will get drafted but not before Surtain.

 

[Devo182]

SEC Media gonna feel silly when we finish 2nd in the East.

 

[Devo182]

How good of a chance does Miami have?

SIAP, UF is a 7 point favorite. This gives Miami a 30% chance to win.

Subjective opinion - Diaz is a hell of a defensive coach and had their D hummming last year. He was also left that kind of quiet consistency only only a guy like Richt can.

Compensating factors - will UF players get too big headed or be grounded? Will Diaz have his program UP for a huge 1st win?

I think it will be a battle.
