Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[TrippieRedd]

Baseball ?

if so I bet you state championship games at mtsu were your most memorable. Nice crowds at those by the way

Didn’t pay any attention to the crowd, nor did I care how many were there.

Can't wait to hear Fulmer's resounding endorsement of Pruitt after a 2-8 or 3-7 season. The way AV sounded Fulmer is staking everything on Pruitt. What a fools bet.

You act like Fulmer is a young man and has long term goals as the AD at UT

 

[Volsdeep4]

Not only that, but we’re going to have as many going out as coming in.

Don’t you put that evil on us Ricky Bobby

 

[Batman1948]

wtf happened? It's near inexplicable.

Congrats on being in the extreme minority

Winners win, losers care about outside things. Let that sink in.

Even though we’re nowhere close to them, Florida is the measuring stick.

Getting whooped will further cement where we’re going in Year 3 vs. where they’re going in Year 3.

I can tell you that without playing FL.

 

[Vols4us]

And who is continuing to play the wrong QBs? What makes you have faith that our head coach will suddenly change and be able to play the correct QB going forward? Bailey should have been the starter day one and Pruitt admitted that they didn’t prepare him at all until the other QBs were complete trash.

A-Taylor at CB, Q-Crouch at LB, J-Banks at LB, all of the TE's, all of the QB's, all of the other secondary other than Thompson, Henry T being allow to lose too much weight for ILB, etc. All miserable choices and development failures of talented players who should have gone elsewhere if this was how it was going to be allowed to go.

Any resurrection of Vol football begins at QB. He has to make the change to HB and never look back. A good QB, RB and O-line can win more games than they lose. We have that.

 

[Batman1948]

I’m going to be pissed if Bailey comes out and looks like he should of been starting since the first bye week. Happy for the future, but still pissed.

You just described the thoughts of a bunch of guys in here---never happy

fyp Anyone think gators won’t lay 35+ in the first half?? Wait Trask just threw another slant for a td

Oh good grief your experience in playing a non spectator hs sport doesn’t qualify you for such ridiculous takes.

You see it’s entirely reasonable to think that players playing an emotional sport (hs baseball isn’t one) where momentum can be flipped on a dime where crowds make a difference is important in the outcome of who wins and loses. Like it or not home team fans are factors in outcomes when it comes to SEC football and hoops

It’s going to be bad when we start Bailey against Florida and our offense actually moves. I bet we score around 28-31 points. But we still lose by 27. Zero reason to keep Pruitt then when he is suppose to be a defensive guru.

 

[Vols4us]

You are Mr. Sunshine yourself with posts like that.

Never happy, or very unhappy after 15 years of garbage being sold to fans. There's a big difference. You should know that at your age.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

How many freshman who don’t get action until that time are truly ready to start in that amount of time? You guys forget he didn’t get a spring ball even though he enrolled early.

If he starts and plays well, then I am going to assume staff wanted him to be fully prepared as much as possible before he got the start.

This is a tired excuse. This year was basically a free pass year for player eligibility. Even if Bailey wasn’t ready to start, you still get him meaningful playing time. Practice doesn’t matter, on the field results do. Get Bailey game time and let him learn as he goes. If he messes up all Pruitt has to do is say, look he’s out QB, he missed spring ball and he’s a freshman he’s going to make mistakes but he’s getting experience for next year. But Pruitt managed to screw up a free year of player eligibility and double down with JG.

Lmao joke of a take.

It’s alright though, research some more, may help.

 

[Batman1948]

To the fans that lived and breathed the glory days of UT football, how does it feel knowing your beloved university is being run by idiots that refuse to do anything about changing.

Tennessee football isn’t suppose to have a loser mentality but here we are...15 years later. It’s time that we fans make a change and we are heard.

Get a permit and organize a protest march and camp out around the stadium. Do that every day for about a month and you just might get on the news at 5:00

 

[Kingston Vol]

I can tell you that without playing FL.

Well, sure. But I could have told you we were going to lose to Auburn but that didn’t stop everyone from wanting to burn the place down Saturday night.

There’s something about when people see it for themselves that makes them irate.

It’s numerous things. We have recruited barely any ILBs other than HT. Crouch played well at OLB last year and should have stayed. We have no real edge presence. Why are we shuffling our o line every other series? Any decent head coach would have benched JG during Kentucky and never gone back. The fact that he has continued to play someone who is literally giving more points to the other team is astonishing. He is in over his head and starting to sink.

The most infuriating part of the QB controversy is what you describe here. It wasn't like he did not know after two previous seasons with #2.

Cue the Allen Iverson gif.

We won’t score 14.

Exactly. A good head coach knows when to stick to his guns and when to make changes because things obviously aren’t working on the field. Pruitt ain’t it.

 

[pierce60]

We won’t score 14.

I think if HB starts and the OL plays decent there will be room for big plays.

Grantham will blitz UF into some big plays, but he will also blitz them into missed assignments like he did against Vandy.

All that said, there is no way we score enough to beat them, especially with Pitts back. It’s gonna be like 52-21

 

[tnhunter 10]

Another beautiful thing about Thanksgiving, is the leftovers.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Gonna finish with
Amari McNeil
Sidney Fugar
Travali Price
Travali’s brother
And Malachi Lawerence

Enjoy

Okay kpt bone mill weeks hunter and your ilk. You have made your position very clear. Many times. Ad nauseam Over and over. OZ has spoken. As most rational people have known and said for weeks there is no way JP is not our coach next year. So if you truly bleed Orange it’s time to support the Young Men who are playing and also those who have pledged to play down the road. You keyboard warriors need to either give it a rest or say something positive or at least constructive every once in a while. For the love of Orange.
