Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Volsfaninva917]

Recruiting has tanked because Pruitt can't coach. Waiting another year is a waste of time

Bringing Pruitt back next year will set UT back 3 in recruiting

 

[SLICKYINC]

just something I find strange but so Pruitt. McDonald has played more than Eason and French and Small has played more than Big O. By all accounts those 2 were part of a package deal. Which leads me down the road of..... Even more questions.....

Price had said we might get him back in the class if he waited until February. But im thinking yesterdays win mightve sealed the deal for LSU.

He announced last week he was signing on the 16th.

Lol a true deer in the park take

If I wanted to know how to properly launder the Lady Vols’ softball uniforms, he’d be the first person I’d ask.

I think Small should get more carries. He runs hard and is physical for a smaller back. From the little I seen he’s the only back that makes the hit instead of take the hit.

I'm betting you will see a bunch of teams opt out of bowls because of the players being done. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Tennessee doesn't have enough for a bowl roster.

I see a lot of posts that say we would have 2-3 more wins if we had started off with Bailey. I don't think that is true. We would have been closer in the blowouts, but our defense has not really played winning football all year. That is more concerning to me than Pruitt's stubbornness to keep playing JG. The fact that our defense has sucked so bad should be the biggest indicator that Pruitt should be gone yesterday.

Its pure speculation at this point in time, but I have to wonder if our D completely lays flat during the UK game if we have a competent QB? Do we hold the lead vs Arkansas without JG, and do we score enough to hold the lead and beat Auburn? Who knows, but what little bit we've seen of the other two QB's, I think those scenarios are very possible. Just my .02

Yep, going to be interesting. Both of those bowls are basically two weeks after the A&M game. I would say a lot of them are ready to go home.

I agree and think Small should be a bigger part of the game plan early in games to set the tone so to speak.

I don't know if you have heard some of these things that has been said about the vaccination but I have heard some of the craziest things. One is that it will erase your DNA. Another one was that it has a protein that will sterilize women. Personally I don't believe any of those but where can I find info about what is in the shot? They are in that age group that needs to get the shot and would like to give them that info. Thank you.

That's what I'm looking for----something to erase my DNA. The cops will never find me after I get that shot

Am I correct that the early signing period begins Wednesday, December 16th ?

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Elite is a stretch, in my opinion. Last years class was very good; but did nothing to bridge the gap between us and Florida/Georgia/Alabama.

The past 2 recruiting classes have put us closer in talent to those teams than we've been in several years. We had more highly ranked players not pan out with Butch than we've had with Pruitt. I think the talent is actually pretty good here. We're behind those teams on the coaching side of things, than we are on the players side of it.

 

[SLICKYINC]

AP thinks there will be 2-2 coaching changes on both offense and defense.

 

[Specs]

We get at least one 12 man on the field penalty, if not two, per game. We had two punt fair catches where we had holding calls. And we are good for 2-4 procedure penalties per game.

Pruitt has said we’d accept a bowl if offered.

Is that counting dline?

 

[Batman1948]

UT hasn't covered a slant in 30 years.

So, you're saying Pruitt has been here 30 years

McGhee, Lewis, Wolfe are 3 we’ve lost that we wanted. I get that it sucks but it’s not most of the class.

Yet

Didn’t specify. I also ponder the same.

 

[pierce60]

Still can’t believe Kentucky blew us off the field at home.

It helps when the QB serves them 14 points on a silver platter.
