Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

except NFL Scouts aren't the ones putting together these mocks.

No.but we have seen time and time again people get picked in later rounds that was projected to go sooner like in these (Mocks) because they S**t the bed at the combine.In my opinion the best starting point for anyone going into the NFL that’s trying to make a roster is the players interview.

@Chuckie I can help you out with logos and probably source engraving the bottles. Call my office at 1-800-889-6368 and ask for Raleigh.

We manufacture menu covers, coasters, wood boards, etc for the restaurant industry and I work with a lot of liquor distributors.

Hey, I appreciate it. I already have the bottle and was hoping to have it done locally so I don't have to ship it off, etc. I'm in North GA about 30 minutes from Chattanooga. But the company in Chattanooga that will do it requires me to supply the graphics.

1. Tua staying at bama next season would be very stupid on his part and he and the family knows it... he's been hurt too many times and don't think every team they play next season will be willing to sacrifice a roughing the passer penalty every game to just lay one on him... he will go first round and that is all he needs at this point.

2. The fact that Tee is even talking to Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss is telling and disturbing in itself... you finally come back to your alma mater and within this short of time and the program is turning the corner, yet you are thinking about going to a sputtering program in a harder division with a new coach who is a serious liability at the very least? LMAO... maybe this is all we need to know... this just shows he's not all in with TN... go on and don't let the door hit ya... he HAS to know that doing this would be about the last nail in the "welcome home VFL" coffin with most folks. This is completely different than Johnson going to FL St...

They are some guys who are pretty locked in and really as accurate as you can be. They base it off things they are hearing. Whether that’s teams being genuine or just blowing smoke in what they tell them is another story. The top 20ish is usually pretty easy to guess to an extent. Except when you got the raiders doing dumba** stuff like drafting clelin Ferrell at 4.

Agreed

Tee or any other position coach with aspirations would be silly not to seek out a coordinator position at a P5 style job like ole miss. It’s not like he would leave here to be a WR coach somewhere else.

well, i mean let's be honest........the info these guys get from the teams, a lot of is smoke. half truths? 100% truth if it's a guy they're not going take?

who knows. i almost look at it like i do recruiting analysts. i'm not mad when they're wrong. they're giving best educated guess based on the info they have.

now, evaluations of the players themselves, that's one thing. no reason to BS there really, so i do like to hear what they have to say about that.

but actual draft projections.......meh. some are slam dunks and easy and everyone knows it.....the rest..........toss of a coin.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

you said mid to late round? you mean Mid to late 1st round?

Umm..yeah, that's why I said "He'll go in the 1st"

u trollin' me bruh?

Tua hasn't got any control where he goes, he's likely been given very good grades & told he'll be a first round pick. And if I was in his ear, I'd be telling him to look at the QBs in the league making the big bucks right now and winning. I'd remind him how many were late 1st round or even later round picks and how much they got paid in their contracts after their rookie season.

It's a no brainer honestly. He either gets drafted way too high and gets huge money now with the chance to still get even more money later OR he gets drafted later (still in the 1st round most likely) and goes to a better team where he can win early in his career (like Wilson) and still make huge money in his 2nd contract.

NFL player's union also helps protect him from the worry of being rushed back from injury too fast. I doubt the guy plays next year, I know if I was him I wouldn't.

Ole Miss hired and announced Jeff Lebby as their OC 3 weeks ago.

If Tee is entertaining an offer from Lane then its as a WR coach.

He wouldn't be calling the plays. This is what I don't get. If he wants a title, then good for him.

He wouldn’t have been the OC there. He would’ve been like a co-oC, similar to what he is here as the passing game coordinator

Likely a co-OC situation

no. to me, you said both. hence the question. "mid to late round", could be round 3+ depending how you look at it.

so i asked for clarification.

problem w/dat?

my only real contention is the notion that he's "hoping" to get drafted later. when nothing really says that's going to be the case.

and yeah, he's in a no lose situation, regardless.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I told you we would be 8-5 before we played that game...very few believed me, except @Glitch

Blind hog and acorn kind of thing.

i agree. i think the only way you get tee off this staff right now is if he gets to call plays and do the game plans etc....i don't think that's gonna be the case at Ole Miss....and i think he'd prefer to do it at a P5 school that he coulud make a real name for himself.

seems everyone wants him for hte same reason we wanted him, save the alma mater part......he's a really good recruiter that has a good history of coaching and developing WR's.

Oh for sure. Teams I’ll tell ppl like Daniel Jeremiah, Louis riddick etc “we love this guy targeting him at 6... “when they have absolutely no intentions of drafting him. Or that they are really low on a guy to keep the buzz down.

And hell honestly I’m not sure some of the teams even know who they are taking until they are seconds left on the clock.

 

[HankHill]

That’s better title wise and could’ve been pay wise and you never really know how much power or input he is getting here vs what he wants/being offered somewhere else. I was more just talking in general. If any coach leaves for an upgrade you can’t really blame them we all would if the price is right.

Would anybody really be mad if Pruitt got offered the cowboys job and took it? Lol

it's like a recruiting board that takes a couple days to wipe clean. lol. the good news is, you get your info immediately, and ifyou've done it right, the next guy ont he list....is the next guy on the list. lol.

mid to late round (in the same round being discussed)

mid to late rounds (any round 3+)

I don't know how you interpret ish, U GOT A PROBLEM WIT DAT?!?!

Don't think I ain't above some bowie swinging at the Waffle House friend.

#WINOUT was the stuff brother!! We gonna carry it over and let it ride in 2020?

Yes sir!!! I will go on record and say that we get our winning streak to double digits.
