Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Emmit Gooden was unproven too. Just because he was the best returning does not mean he was irreplaceable.

Yesterday @LittleVol was predicting combine numbers for Crouch and Roman Harrison

You heard it here first

Agree. Like Pruitt said, he likes having "snaps" but you keep teaching the others and move forward.

I’m trying to recall a recent seasons where we had significant preseason or first of season injuries to key contributors. Here’s what I remember:

2011 - Justin Hunter; Tyler Bray
2012 - Curt Maggitt
2013 - terrible team so injuries didn’t matter
2014 - ditto 2013, but I’m also forgetting
2015 - Marquez North
2016 - Jaylen Reeves-Maybin; Cam Sutton
2017 - Jauan Jennings
2018 - Brandon Kennedy
2019 - Emmitt Gooden

In that context this year’s injury doesn’t seem at all unusual, and arguably isn’t the most significant we’ve had. 2011, 2012 and 2016 in particular might have been very different seasons without those injuries (and others that happened later in the season those years).

It’s football. It happens.

I don't usually do this, as a matter of fact I've never done it. The last 4 days have been hell on earth for me. I woke up Sunday is so much pain I literally thought I was dying. Rushed to the ER just to be told I have kidney stones. I passed the stone the next day without much incident but only to be rushed back to the ER later that day in worse pain. Different hospital, they told me no more stones, jacked me up on pain meds and sent me home. Next day, major pain, went to see an urologist, emergency surgery. Kidney getting backed up and infected, stent put in, 101.6 temp. I thank god for that urologist. He is my hero.

I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemies.

2 days of positive JJ Peterson news doesn't sound right.

LAWD I hope for Bass's sake and everyone's that he strings together an entire positive camp and is ready to head hunt, not rep hunt, this fall.... he has a long way to go though... a few practices mean nothing... Butcher, Bates, Bryant, etc all say hi!

Most likely posts on this board.

Secking, imo, or GreysonDawg

Prayers for you.

This was for @TheTimeIsNow , don’t know why my phone didn’t let this be a reply to him. Stupid IPhone.

So thankful you had him! Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Damn home field advantage....

Amirite?! @bignewt

It is a big help to their record to be in the same division as Baltimore

 

[nicksjuzunk]

We need to cancel that game. We ain’t ready for that yet. Keep scheduling teams like BYU. Bama and Ga never play anyone OOC worth a crap why do we?

2020, we may not beat Oklahoma, but they will know that they played the Vols.

We should be on the cusp of our return

 

[Pepe]

So you like a steady diet of cupcakes?

 

[901LookAlive]

2020, we may not beat Oklahoma, but they will know that they played the Vols.

They'll have a young QB, and we'll have a ballhawking defense. I don't see an automatic L.

 

[Pepe]

We should pay to get out of it and schedule a series with Iowa

Clearly you were a Dooley fan

Spencer Rattler... But I agree about the defense.

 

[901LookAlive]

Will be a sophomore likely 1st time starter

 

[SLICKYINC]

Still a stud that will have been in the system for a year.

No way Dooley schedules Iowa...he cowered at the thought of playing UNC!

Agree with this. I may not win, but I'm coming at you with everything I got.

That was cool!

I'm firmly on team eye poke.

Yuck, yuck,yuck

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I'm sure there's a lot of frustration today. They've invested a lot of time helping Niehaus put on the right kind of weight and get his body right. He sat out a lot in the spring and has been limited in workouts. And now he's fallen down the rotation and decides to walk, four days into camp.

Welp.... maybe a walk on can get a scholarship now?

Lost Gaulden in fall camp in 2015 and Maggitt early as well. We beat OU and UF with them healthy IMO.

Nope Butch woulda still butched it.

We should have won both games either way.
