Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Devo182]

Any EPL soccer fans in here? I got into it over the summer.

I'm not diehard anyone, but follow City the most. That said, now I'm sitting on Chelsea just because of Pulisic and if Reyna ever shifts over from Bundesliga, I'll Stan that team too.

Smh florida about to get yet another 5* transfer....

Who?

 

[Frankwillie87]

Trey played both his freshman season. Was struggling at OT sophomore year before the clots reoccurred. His best season (even without practice) was last season with the consistency. That’s what Cade transferred for.

I agree that Trey played better at guard, I was responding to a comment that said Cade couldn't play tackle or something to that effect.

 

[Frankwillie87]

Correction Smith played LT for 1 year and looked just ok there compared to playing Guard. Smith is average at LT but elite at LG.

I agree, my point was elite OL have more versatility than the person I was responding to.

With 2.5 already under his belt, that's not too crazy actually. 9 sacks would also be the greatest sack season of the past decade, except only 2016 Barnett and 2014 Maggitt.

It is a really high bar to set, but I believe in him. These are the sorts of expectations great teams have.

Yeah that's going be hard to do with less games and all SEC schedule.

The Braves are about to end their 20 year playoff win drought.

Sounds like the type of "accomplishment" every sports team in Georgia revels in. Maybe they will make a patch for it.

This seemed to be pretty accurate during USC game, is there a more updated chart? (Austin shared this one a couple weeks ago)

lol their pronunciation guides are soooo bad.

Some of them show the stressed syllables exactly opposite, some are not helpful, some are just funny. I particularly like how they let us know that Darel has two syllables.

 

[Devo182]

Ehh, I agree but I have to also see where Cat is coming from --- I hate those muther-truckers so much I don't want them to gain anything positive, much less keep getting talent by default of their freakin zip code... they already benefit on half their talent roster purely from where they are located and don't have to recruit as hard as others. I'd love to see them fall into the ditch we've been in for 12yrs...

It almost makes one wonder if UF is actively recruiting enrolled players when they aren't allowed to...this many isn't a coincidence.

 

[Devo182]

Usually garbage. There are notable exceptions

Kamara
Cam Newton

And even those 2 I believe had weird circumstances that pushed them into JUCO. Newton stole a computer and I believe Kamara had been suspended a few times before he got his act together here.

As far as I can tell UF is just taking flat out quitters.

Kamara was in the most stacked RB class ever at Bama. Once you were in the dog house there was no getting out there.

 

[Devo182]

Yeah that's going be hard to do with less games and all SEC schedule.

Interestingly, those two guys got almost all of their sacks in just their 8 SEC games.

Barnett: 13 sacks total, 12 in-conference
Maggitt: 11 sacks total, ALL in-conference

Not sure why that is, but our pass rushers seem to play at a different level when they know it's a big time game.

 

[VOLSONLY]

Almost to Knoxville!!!

Wow SmokinBob is boring with a big auger!! Nice ride

 

[Devo182]

Is it true that mizzou runs an option attack offense?

This article goes over the offense pretty well:

So Clemson transfer. Since the season has already started do they sit out? Or do they play immediately?

 

[901LookAlive]

We rushed terribly in the first half. Credit to Chaney for not giving up.

Imo Chaney was passing because guys were getting open. I think he will continue, generally, passing around the same rate, ~50% as long as we keep executing that well.

Keyton is a special WR. He was open the entire ball game. Excited about him, he looked like those LSU WRs last season.

Certainly sit. I'm not even sure if he can accept another scholarship this year due to NLI restrictions, so he might have to pay his own way if he goes somewhere. He should probably just stick with his Fall scholarship and classes, then make his move later...which means he probably won't.

I'm sure it's changed since I went through in '93, but the best advice I can give you is keep you head down (don't draw unwanted attention), and never quit! Drill Sergeants' used to tell me I was "to stoopid to stop"

Congrats to the Braves! Won't even comment about Snit

I was a 19D. I spent alot of time with DAT's (dumb a** tankers). All fun and games. Good luck, you will have fun.
Just curious on why you went NG to start out and not active.
