Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[RiseToTheTop]

Pruitt is just starting to see his vision for UT start to unfold. He knows it too. Its early but man he isnt going anywhere lol. Stop Hank.

 

[Sleegro]

Yeah. Pruitt has to be way down the list. Sounds like they told Mark Stoops that he was #3 behind Brother Bob and Franklin, and he told them to kick rocks. Seems They are all in in Franklin now. But FSU can't bet on overplay their hand waiting on Franklin. Opens the door Ole Miss and Mizzou to work a backchannel to Norvell.

Fsu is gonna get turned down by their first 6 or 7 choices and end up with strong or butch.

Let's let the other boards track planes for awhile while we focus on recruiting, bowl prep and BBQ. TIA

 

[butchna]

We'll never know but Blackburn was very confident that if he got the UT AD job he had Peterson in the bag.

Sounds like a sales pitch.

 

[WonfulVol]

Kivon Bennet is going to be good for us next year

 

[drvenner]

I hope he's great because he was very good this year.

 

[swchandler1988]

He’s spent the last 2 years slimming down. Will be cool to see what Fitz can do this off season with his from a packing on muscle standpoint

 

[butchna]

Uhhm...it is a simple offense. Come on man, I don't even know what we are arguing about..I have given Stoops and Co a lot of credit for building a solid physical team.

I disagree with you. Maybe because that simplified thing Gran conjured up is nowhere close to the machine that Osborne produced for over two decades and which churned out NC’s at the end of his tenure. No amount of ARGUING is going to change my opinion so it’s your time that you’re wasting.

 

[Brillovol]

The Intern is gonna have to work real hard to NOT get a job this year.

Cause butch thought he should be an undersized dt.

 

[butchna]

Recruited Over? Impossibru!!!

Probably just needs more time before he breaks into the 2 Deep!!!!



Just ask @MoCo_Vol & @Ulysees E. McGill !!

He broke all the the through the 2 deep on his way to the bottom of the roster.

 

[swchandler1988]

Well, to be fair he was that in HS. But yeah he should’ve been moved much earlier

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Guys rewatching Eric Grays 3rd TD run and Tim Jordan had an excellent block out of the Fullback position. I mean excellent block.

 

[85SugarVol]

You do realize I never said Beasley wouldn’t get recruited over, right?

I am just hoping he finds success here because I liked him coming in.

You’re free to change your position, now.

 

[KB5252]

WTF...no need to be an *******. I don't think that IQ is worth a damn. It sure hasn't stopped me from doing a lot of stupid stuff...

That being said..I'm not stupid either.


I was tested several times by school workers because I have a learning disability when I was young. The lowest I scored was 146. Like I said though...it has never helped me much.

Same here and I agree. My issue was attention, if it's not something I like or challenging to me I tune out eventually, I also have social anxiety that went undiagnosed until my mid twenties. My IQ was in the same ballpark, forget the exact number.

All my friends worked in nightclubs and bars. I drank very heavily so I could stay in those situations and socialize with my friends. I eventually got mixed up with some lighter drugs as well to cope. It was refreshing to find out why I was doing the things I was doing.

 

[Sleegro]

Just out of curiosity, how many players did you say this about last offseason that ended up being big contributors this season? I bet there were a few.

Norvell will take the FSU job, before it ever drops that far.

 

[Sleegro]

Bet he doesn't. That place is a complete mess right now.

 

[KB5252]

Bet he doesn't. That place is a complete mess right now.

It is but given a couple of years with good coach the ship can be turned around. Very good recruiting grounds and Miami is down and Florida isn't a national power like they've been in the past.

 

[gordonr24]

I think he will. He can turn it around quickly, and the ACC is weak currently. It’s been said that he covets the position, so I believe if he’s offered, he will take it.

 

[Sleegro]

He would have an easier conference schedule there than he has at Memphis.

@HoleInTheRoof
@butchna

So those were tea leaves!

 

[KB5252]

He would have an easier conference schedule there than he has at Memphis.

Wouldn't that be a plus?

 

[Geaux_Vols]

Kinda sad to go back to the first pages and read all the interviews with the starry-eyed high school junior whose family loved the vols, knowing how it would end up. Always seemed like a really good kid. Best of luck to him.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I get you like being “right” but stop with the tushy tantrum, here’s what I said in the beginning.

Beasley is ALREADY here...

I was responding to you saying Beasley was being recruited over. We've got lots of RS guys who saw tons of playing time this season, and Beasley came in as a raw talent who was even willing to take reps at ILB for awhile when needed. He may be one of those guys like Fant that never finds a great landing spot, but I'm also not writing him off. I'm sure Pruitt & staff would rather guys with experience in their system earn starting roles.
