Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

5.56 would be a second faster..... not rocket surgery.

Not his fault. His phone autocorrected "tenth of a" to "damn". Happens all the time.

 

[UTSuave’]

Yea, I want to see him in some live action

Same.seems like the freshman play so far has been decently solid.

Can he play QB? Oh wait, he's a LB, not a WR. Whew!

I had some time before catching a flight. I'm not trying to change anybody's opinion or interfere with other posters' agendas. The team is underachieving and problems abound... but the core of the recruiting class is, amazingly, hanging together. Time to triage. Recruiting is critical, and relationships are what's keeping this current class together. Sever that and everything will freefall. One year at a time.

Hope your mother is as well as she can be, @InVOLuntary.

If Pruitt can hold this class together with 4 or 5 wins he will be ok. I'm just worried that they will bail and then it'll be the same ole same ole.

Guys everything is still in front of us. The way I see it it’s only 2 games left on our schedule that I give us no shot at winning. Will we win the other 8 ? Probably not, but we going to win our share of them. GBO

I'll admit, I was real worried after Georgia State. But after BYU, i came away real confident for the future. Young guys looked good, play calling was solid and the defense was night and day better than week 1. Sure there were a couple of lapses on D. But it really was on the QB play that we didnt win. I feel like if we had a compitent QB we'd be pretty solid.

I agree with what you're saying overall, but there's no way you can logically blame that loss on the QB. In spite of how he played, the game was won, over, W, until the horrible defensive lapses. It's a shared guilt. Putting it all on one person is blatantly unfair.

Quad, care to pass what you are smoking?

 

[Dudley Smith]

Honestly, how would McElroy even know beyond the general guess that most true froshies can't read Ds?

He called the game last weekend, and the announcers typically attend practices and talk to coaches leading up to it.

It really has

After all the media bashing, what kind of a story would it be if TN somehow turned it around and finished 8-4.

That would be deserving of its own Disney soundtrack recorded by Peabo Bryson himself.

Well not sure about long term yet. But trotting the freshmen out there today will get the local guys off his back for a bit.

Henry T doesn’t “trott” anywhere. He said “let’s ride”!

Should've been 10-2 yarara

Someone watching at home with me said.....
What do you bet Fulmer told him to do that after he had no emotion against GSU.

Zero. That's not something Fulmer would do

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I feel like this season is closer to that "first year" feel, lots of youth on defense. His first real class and we're seeing tons of them playing quality minutes already. Good improvement and growth in the OL already.

I love the staff, I really do. I think JG may just be "who he is" and I can't fault the guy, really can't. Not every QB is a stud or a natural leader. He's had 4 different OCs in 4 years, had 3 different guys at HC and has only had a QB coach for this season. It's caused setbacks mentally that I think only show up in game action, because in practice ya typically don't get hit and ya often -know- the defensive coverage your going against already.

I can’t remember if it was Majors or Fulmer, but there was similar tentative QB play. They took off the no contact practice jerseys. Then the QB that could handle the practice started.

Maybe just the thing that is called for now.

Is that even legal now?

 

[BruinVol]

Well sure

Hitting is allowed in practice

2020 Kid out of Memphis. Kirby high school. UAB commit.

 

[Orange Studs]

It reminds of
this whole program reminds me of my best friend in high school. He dated this girl for a few years and they were always good together. Then she started being kinda skanky and she left him. Then they got back together and he thought everything was cool but come to find out she was still giving out freebies to everyone in town. He’s married now with 2 kids, so silver linings I guess.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

wat

Tenth of a second*

 

[Ashevolle]

Nope.

Everyone I was watching the game with laughed and said he was just putting on a show because that is what the fans had complained about the week before

They sound like a fun bunch
