Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[SLICKYINC]

Not sure that's accurate...if it is the Rob has contracted himself from last week on 99.1.

We've all heard the recruiting pitch used to get Crouch here. Crouch himself has mentioned carrying the ball in short yardage situations if needed. This is just Rob Lewis trying to create a headline.

 

[Kingston Vol]

so now we're making up issues between Crouch and Pruitt?

none of this is a big secret. Crouch didn't want to play RB in college. we recruited him as a LB. he's playing LB, and crouch has said in interviews that he doesn't mind doing the special package stuff from time to time, but he sees himeslf as a LB primarily.

i doubt there's a big divide anywhere because of this.....and it's not like we don't have huge needs at LB right now, he's moved to ILB for now....which i think is where he was projected anyway....they only moved him outside because they had Bituli, HT and a hand full of others to play ILB....

i think there's a whole lot of nothing to any of that..........and it's gonna take a lot more than "i think i heard on the radio"....lol

It’s not “I think I heard on the radio.” I heard two respected local media members talking about it and relayed the information.

I’m not vouching for it. I just thought it was interesting. I don’t even think there’s an “issue” here.

Just relaying the conversation Josh Ward and Ubben were having about Rob’s SportsTalk hit on Monday.

They even went as far to say we were able to sign Crouch over Clemson’s efforts because they wanted him at RB full time.

Oh no, not Ubben. Haven’t you heard? He’s trying to destroy our football program one tweet at a time.

It doesn’t make sense to me that we want to him play RB primary anyway

"relayed the information" huh?

well, your delivery of said information sucked.

So apparently Rob Lewis said on 99.1 yesterday the staff would like to use Crouch at RB but to this point he has largely refused and they are afraid to push it because they convinced him to come here under the assumption he would be a linebacker only.

Pruitt said last week on Vol Calls that in the recruiting process that they pitched to him about playing rb in short yardage and goal line packages and he was open to it as long as his primary position was linebacker. So that doesn't sound very accurate to me

In his own words, Crouch is not totally averse to playing RB in short yardage situations:





However; this was recorded before the season and his thinking may have changed.

 

[SmokinBob]

still no baby!

Crouch couldn’t stay healthy as a HS RB. I don’t think he would be able to in college either.

 

[butchna]

What posts by Bruin are you all talking about? I don't see any.

well, he was healthy until that leg/foot injury early in his senior year and he missed the season. i don't know that he had any other injuries prior? but i think that was a bit of a wake up call....he'd rather be delivering the blow, than receiving it....that much is sure.

It appears that Savion Williams also might be figuring things out. Talk about an impressive stat line. 3 solo tackles 7 assisted for 10 total and had 2 pass deflections.
If that DL starts getting pressure without needing blitzes, man oh man.

Tackles by DL are great, but then jumping to pressure...how many pressures did we get all game? 3? DT, Crouch, and Blakely. 1 from the entire DL.

I'm also not sure those are Savion's stats. He shows 0 tackles vs uga. I think he has 7 combined all season.

It’s obvious you forgot to pull the cork out @Big Gucci Sosa have you ever opened a bottle of champagne before jk bro..I know you both are wanting the baby here pretty bad so...I’ll suggest 3 things that’s helped.i noticed your wife recently had the “membrane stripping” which helps a lot and “I’m Super surprised she’s not went into labor yet” because that’s usually Number 1 on the list to speed up the whole process. But none the less my suggestions are.

1.)More Sex.(Dont take that thing wrong way)
2.)Spicy Foods
3.)Red Raspberry leaf tea Sh*t works!!

Hope it helps and you both have a strong beautiful healthy baby

Who knows if the media content people consult with Pruitt though. I don't see Pruitt micromanaging to that degree. Meanwhile Butch was probably trying to run all our social media himself.

Facts. He did spend most of the Friday prior to app state working with VFL films on hype videos for battle at Bristol lol

Butch was way too focused on image. More so than anything else. Thankfully we now have a football coach that doesn't give a rats butt what people think including the crazies of this fanbase who know diddly jack about anything.

Ryan Johnson at center...we dead

 

[drvenner]

Waiting for Athens media to pick this up and drag their head coach through the mud. Will be waiting a long time

What did the tweet say?

 

[Rishvol]

Ryan Johnson at center...we dead

? Explain

 

[Newman]

Awesome! Brandon Johnson redshirting and coming back next year. Should be the leader of the WRs.

 

[VFLBerg]

? Explain

Wednesday practice notes say Johnson worked with the 1's at center. Apparently Kennedy is dinged up and wasn't seen doing much at practice.

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

? Explain

Potentially an interesting development on the offensive line, but something might be up with Brandon Kennedy. Didn't see him take a rep in the very limited part of drills I saw and he has a sleeve on his left leg much like the one Aubrey Solomon has on. The first group up in five-man drills went from left to right Wanya, Trey, Ryan Johnson, Chris Akporoghene and Darnell Wright.

Yes, that is three freshmen on the apparent first-team offensive line.
