Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Dooby15]

Also you’re using stars and ratings to make your case on this team but dismissing stars and ratings when complaining about “butch’s guys”. So that’s a bit of a problem

Problem with Butch is he couldn’t keep guys her or develop. We should have junior and senior offensive and defensive lineman 2 deep. 2 more qbs. Don’t have them.

Gray is a stud and will be really good one day. But I disagree about him being the #1 right now.

For one, he needs to get north and south and for 2 he needs to get stronger. He's usually stopped dead in his tracks on first contact and he is a liability in protection.

What a horrible representative of our university. More Vol luck. The biggest face in media in the SEC is a Bama fan that trolls his own university. He isn’t helping anything. He’s making things worse

Nah just don’t have permanent orange goggles on like some of y’all.

Can't compare the two in the method you're trying, not equally at least. You'd essentially have to qualify your assertion to "best class based on production/success" and you'd also have to exclude classes that haven't finished their careers...

Based on average player rating per 24/7, 2019 is the best class since Fulmer era, and it's not even a "orange goggles bias" to say this.

@nicksjuzunk get that Chatt game thread up I want to press on and look forward to something!

Only get 12 of these a year guys and gals. Gird your loins and let’s get to work.

Also Pruitt isn’t going to inflate any numbers (recruiting or win totals) to appease anyone. He is going to force the team to play his aggressive style even if it costs us some games now (not saying it should have these first two games).

The dude is a football genius and is going to get it done.

I'm not doing that at all, what I'm doing is countering -your- post. And now what YOUR doing is trying to deflect from the fact you got proven wrong.

 

[tnmarktx]

Have to win before we get elite classes. Tennessee been selling the same **** for a decade

Fans keep eating it up. I'll admit, I gave support for dooley and jones far too long. I've seen some fans say they'd support Pruitt if we went 0-12. It's mind boggling.

Just like a troll does

Just stop it with the troll bs.

Surely to goodness at this point any discussion of what the future mighty hold isn’t trolling. None of us freaking know for sure

Lol he was reponding to your post that had all their star ratings.

You also dismissed his post by saying you "need to see more impact on the field" to know if they are on that level. Well, we know where Butch's recruits are by the evidence on the field, so by your own inconsistent consistency of logic, you should fully understand, and he has you beat.

This forum used to be so much fun to visit. Now it is filled with depression. When UT football makes even the recruiting forum a bunch of sad and whiny people you know things are bad. Guys, life goes on. Like it or not we did this to ourselves. It will take ONLY hard work and patience for us to get back. Key word being PATIENCE.I know we don't want to hear that but it's the truth. Pruitt can succeed here if we give him time. He really can do this. We just have to understand that both the team and himself are improving. Give it time. Breathe.

All the negavols and vol trolls seized the opportunity to take over the RF and the regulars are so distraught that they let them.

First time in a while we aren't the CBS 3:30 spot.

Losing to Georgia st and BYU should never happen. Even to a bad Tennessee team. We did this by hiring subpar coaches. By all accounts, we still are doing it.

Outside of the heat, this is actually a good thing for this young team going into the swamp. It was a noon game when we won in 2003.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

What's the game & channel for UTC (if it's televised?)

Can't wait for Notre Dame at Georgia. Hoping it's a good game and the Irish win.

I agree and I am on board with this.

I also don't blame the naysayers one bit. It's been 15 years at least since we have been good. Patience isn't the problem with most of us, it's lack of progression. It's been nothing but patience with no movement forward, and in some respects, actually been regression. Bama, UGA, UF, Vandy, and MIZZ all have win streaks on us. Patience isn't the problem.

You'll become a so called negavol or troll soon enough. Would you support coach with a 2 win season? How about next year, would 3 wins be good enough?

 

[HankHill]

Random stats from pff:

Byu ran inside zone on 72% of their run plays while averaging
trey had highest pass pro grade
Burrell targeted in coverage 6/7 60 yards had lowest pass coverage grade 2nd straight game.

 

[JCP201]

Heh. Did the same when I saw the mom praying.....

I said I can pray and over ride her prayer. We all bad.

Glad we have noon kickoff. Hopefully Gators are hungover.
