Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

I agree that he does seem to be a very good coach. I really don't think he was ever coming here, though.

Not sure. My MSU buddy whose dad is a big alum said they were told he was headed to UT until UF called.

We should be a PUMA school

Nike worsened our uniforms. The only thing I like is the block lettering of Tennessee and the basketball for the most part. The orange is neon, the numerals on the jerseys clash with the classic look, and the baseball uniforms are hideous.

I just think he had conversations with UF people before McElwain was let go and that was always going to be his first option.

Still want him gone. You don’t see the improvements until you hear that CJC is taking control.

Take control? All we heard, from our mighty useless 10 min practice reports is he was yelling at them some. He's the OC, he's everywhere and should be. Especially on a 5 man unit. And people blew it up and ran with it, as usual.

Fact is WF was the highest paid G5 asst coach for a reason. He built up a strong unit there, just as he had at uga and before. But the progress was always year 2 and after. Turning around a unit that depends on 6-10 guys takes way more time than other areas of a team. Anyone that thought one of the bottom 15 OLs in all of football, along with their s&c, would be fixed in 8 months, with a new scheme, was absolutely daydreaming. Anyone jumping on him after 8-12 months, with his track record, was an absolute fool.

of course it was, he is a gator all the way down to his tightie whities.

UFs first choice was Chip, 1000%.....when Chip turned that down, Mehlan didnt even give them a chance to mention an offer before he had his bags packed.

UFs first choice was Chip, 1000%.

So they talked to him and said they were going after Chip first but would he be interested if Chip said no?

Under Armour isn't too bad either, from a personal preference though I've also had better shelf life from my adidas shoes than any other tennis shoe. They also are more consistent in fit from shoe to shoe.

I can just get my size in adidas and know it'll fit. With Nike and especially UA I've always gotta test fit them first.

Adidas knocked it out of the park with Ultraboosts. I'm super late to the game with those but I just got a pair and love them.

Received an elite > 90 grade vs msu. Those don't come often. Tack on 2 sacks, 4 hurries, and 4 stops to what you see there. He still has time to impress, but he needs a few more games like that...as do we.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

cool story

Thanks for your support, means a lot.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Sounds like Springer is going to commit today. We're about to have the 4th best BB recruiting class in the country.

 

[BearCat204]

Think he comes to UT next year?

Not unless they are willing to give him the Co-OC title, which I highly doubt.

C'mon, man. Enough about the guy's weight.

I think he’s the kind of player that’s getting wrote up as good film but not gonna measure and test well enough to get up in the 2nd or 3rd round

Trey also reveived an elite grade last game and his season grade is now 75.1.

I think the baseball uniforms are cool. Not that I hated them that much, but Adidas had us in old school Astros uniforms.

@David Ubben has gone full heel

I think he's figured out how to get more exposure. It appears he's taking a page from ole Paul Slimebalm and John Adams. By constantly slamming the Vols, he's getting more attention. Kinda like reverse psychology.

2nd or 3rd round? I thought we were wanting to get some drafted.

 

[JacketVol]

I think we land big O

Still could. We won’t stop.
