Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[nicksjuzunk]

I absolutely love how well we're recruiting right now in basketball. Mutombo next and then Jabari Smith

It’s unbelievable. Guys we would have landed once in a decade are literally filling out our classes now

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Why is everyone giving @scvolfan7 such a hard time? There's nothing in anything he's said that even approaches Bruin level.

Not sure, but I’m in for the beating! @scvolfan7 smells like dookie

I hyped them up one summer before the season. That was the year they went 9-4. Other than that I don’t really think I’ve had much positive stuff to say other than occasional info I get.

I did think they would upset us this year before covid threw a wrench in things. Now I’m back to thinking it’ll be a loss IF (emphasis on if) our guys continue to miss practice. Not much time left and we got a lot of guys out

I appreciate your insight there. You are closer to the program than most of us and have a better feel for their program.
Dookie tho

Getting awfully personal in here. I didn't think I'd hear "dookie" used so casually.

 

[engineerVOL]

Been here 7 years, @nicksjuzunk doesnt throw out dookie insults for just anybody.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Are we not in the same boat. Except we got JG 4.0

You’re kidding right?

I’m working on it. Each day I get a little better at whipping it all off

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

That's awesome also!!!!!... But Texas, USC, and FL ST???

Totally agree. Texas has “talent“ that gets their asses kicked whenever they play a real team.

Since they won’t play Texas A&M anymore, let’s play them every year in The Battle of the UTs. Nationally, it would be considered a marquee matchup. For us, it’s just another cupcake that looks like a hard game.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

We are actually over 50% right now with 48/85 players being blue-chips. The issue is that in the past all of the outside analysis on the BCR didn't include transfers for multiple reasons (prospects being overrated initially, transfers generally having less time to acclimate to the schemes, amount of time it would take to include transfers, etc).

So really there isn't enough concrete analysis on teams that have achieved a BCR higher than 50% due to transfers. You are right that we will meet the conditions to crest the BCR threshold after the 2017 class falls off for recruiting classes, (assuming that people from the 2017 class don't remain on the roster in this year of free eligibility), but if someone were to be the first below the BCR threshold to win a NC it's much more likely for it to be a team that clears the BCR threshold "unofficially" by taking in highly-rated transfers.

As it pertains to our team, our BCR doesn't include Cade Mays, Deangelo Gibbs, Brandon Kennedy, Aubrey Solomon, and likely doesn't include J.J. Peterson and Bryce Thompson ( the last two were such late additions they weren't initially added to the classes on NSD if I recall correctly).

Unfortunately, our team may not include Gibbs regardless of capacity...

It’s been casually thrown around today, not the word, but the USC pumping of chests.

 

[T Dog]

You’re kidding right?

How many players we got out. Cant even scrimmage. Dont laugh at them when we are in same boat.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Great minds and all that

You got it half right.

 

[mrorange211]

I’ll ban bet anyone rn that we win three of those listed games.

Ive been begging for one for years

 

[Catbone]

I'm in for the opposite

 

[mrorange211]

bama is a win. 100% This aint 2011.

 

[escapegoat2]

I wonder how many guys have severe injuries we don't know about

 

[mr.checkerboards]

In other news, Braves pitching still sucks.

Trying to force everyone to be a clone. Kyle had a good curveball in college and they're trying to force him to throw a slider

 

[UTProf]

So what is a gender reveal party? Does everybody just whip it out?

It's when menfolk make baby showers 'manly' by blowing things up to announce the gender of their soon to be born child.

 

[drvenner]

@Govolsman98 trying to keep this thing on the rails.

Yeah, I guess that is why he keeps liking the posts of the dude who started it.

 

[escapegoat2]

Childhood fan of LJS...then they started deep frying in congealed grease.

That's not exactly a compliment

From what Rob Lewis said today Knox Co guidelines and contact tracing has us limited. He said JP was pulling his hair out cause schools like Bama and UGA aren’t under the same requirements. They test people who’s been in contact but from what I understood they don’t have the 14 day quarantine rules we do. I came in late to the segment but that’s basically the gist.

Someone can check out the podcast to confirm.
