Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[butchna]

Y’all still talking coaching search when Fulmer has been telling recruits Pruitt isn’t going anywhere. The definition of insanity. Kind of like us continuing to trot out JG at qb

Lot of pining for Bronco Mendenhall on here. Thought this article was beyond interesting...
How Bronco Mendenhall built an unlikely winner at Virginia — ESPN

Particularly:

"You gotta go through the crappy stuff together," Howell said. "You gotta do something that you don't want to do with a group together and find a way through it. As we've come here to Virginia from where we were previously, there's been plenty of opportunities to go through things that are challenging together to build this program."

Skipping an unreasonable UGA opponent, Miss St is next.

VS Miss St, stats:

Rush D - UT
Pass D - Even

Rush O - Miss St
Pass O - Slightly Miss St

STs - UT

Hurts could’ve been sold here. Come beat bama and take us back to relevance. Would’ve had a shot.

With either of them we are 3-1. Word is fulmer told pruitt to go get a transfer and he was set on JG. Yee might have listened

LOL. Okay.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Aubrey Solomon has not been impressive.

So far our best DL is either Emerson (high level Pruitt recruit RS-Fr) or Bumphus.

 

[HankHill]

it's not totally wrong. it's not totally right either.....

Who are some of the 4&5 stars that no one wanted?

Kid made a bad decision coming here with who we've had to develop him. Thanks for making my point.

I like your thinking but i don’t see any scenario where he would choose to play here over Lincoln riley who just turned two former transfers into consecutive #1 overall picks.

He’s not. But props to him for building up our players. He needs to do it more. They get beat down enough.

Pruitt recently was quoted as saying Soloman was playing at a very high level

12 tackles (10 assisted, 2 solo) 0 sacks, 1 tackles for loss

Half his production came in the Georgia State game too...he's not getting any push, at all. Against the softest part of our schedule, that's not a high level.

 

[SmokinBob]

I love him - he's my favorite!!!

STs - UT

We have the better pass defense Tennessee is ranked 37th in the country in pass defense and MSU is 56th. We are also slightly better in passing offense, we're 97th and they're 106th.

Well, that game should set football back 50 years. Can’t wait.

 

[engineerVOL]

I’ve got nothing to bring to the board today but I did see J-Lo is the SB halftime show with Shakira... and probably Pitbull because Miami.

That’ll be something.

It’s refreshing hearing such a positive mindset from our young guys. It’s almost like Pruitt has a little cult forming. Whatever Pruitt has told the kids he recruited they still believe it 110% and we need that going forward.

Might matter if we hadn't played UTC & Georgia State. We just need to hope Auburn breaks MSU & they overlook us for that LSU matchup.

I’d say inside guys in the 3-4 can play well without gobbling up big numbers much more so than guys in the 4-3

This is the last dude you should be in here pounding your chest about as your example. You do realize who his dad is right?

We can beat MSU, they're far from a great team. And yes I'm basing this on how good I think we can be.

I appreciate how often you remind me why people have you on ignore.

Gooden was far and away our most disruptive DL, and it ain't close. Such a big loss. We needed Solomon regardless, even if we suspected he wasn't a gamechanger from Spring, O&W, etc.

If that’s what you think man...I guess it’s real easy to push an agenda when you think you’re right in your own mind. How many other recruits has every college team taken that never panned out not because of bad coaching but because the recruiting services missed,S**T like that happens..I’ll give you two names..One long ago before the Dooley Era and one Currently!..Chris Donald and JG...I rest my case

 

[jordan4vols]

And I’m telling you that’s a lot easier to say at 1-3 than it is at 1-7 or 2-10.

Of course Pruitt is safe right now. No one is advocating for firing him in week 4. To think the athletic director is going to say anything else is the definition of insanity.

I don’t disagree if we’re sitting at 1 or 2 wins total for the season that he shouldn’t be here next year....what I’m saying is I think he will be because of multiple factors like his buyout number, currently paying Butch etc. If this was year 3 then yes but I don’t think they make a move after year 2.

So sad. We are now the opponent that other teams' coaches get up in front of their team and warn them not to overlook us.
