Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Vols2DaWall]

I don’t know how you can watch us have one single productive edge rusher last year albeit Johnson was sporadic and made some bone head plays but he’s all we had. Now he’s gone.

Yup. Best case is QC and maybe MoJo step up

 

[shocker]

I have been to every single home game except 3 since 1990...... the reason for our failures is we don’t make good thought out decisions..... I’m not against freeze but we definitely need to look at his positives as well as his negatives or we will never be the program that we want to be.

Please do not go to any games this coming year the university does not need the money...

Wes Rucker is a beta male

You spelled "contains a bit of male" wrong.

 

[GVol1966]

The Haslams were hanging out with this guy?

I don't believe you ...

He is Alex not Allen

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

What happened to Deandre Johnson??

 

[preacherwebb]

Freeze's vacated record is on par with Pruitt's actual one.

 

[volbeast33]

I mean, if Pruitt is back, 3 starters leave in a show me year for Pruitt that doesn't concern you?

It depends on if TB knows what he is talking about..... he is wrong a lot.... 2nd it depends on what they consider a starter.... if it’s Brandon Johnson level then not worried at all

How long is it normal to have a swollen lymph node for? Mines been there since about December 11th but I've been really sick with pus all in my throat and lots of fevers. I did take all my antibiotics that were prescribed to me, and just stopped having fevers a few days ago. However, since then I have developed a nagging cough and my lymph node is still swollen and sore on my throat. Also been very fatigued feeling. Thanks

That's not good your doctor needs to send you to a specialist. Ear nose and throat doctor. ASAP

Does it count as wins when the NCAA causes you to forfeit those games? Seriously, it's a balancing act. Hugh Freeze is that guy that's a great OC, but when he's in charge, it becomes dangerous, because he's reckless. I think concern is warranted.

The big question(s) no one can answer,

- Can he win in this league without that?
Or
- Can he play in that gray area without getting caught? Keeping in mind he's now made the watch list.

Interesting note.
Freeze and Cut both won 60% of their games at Ole Miss. The biggest note, Cut didnt leave Ole Miss with level 1 violations and 17 forfeited wins.

Not that UT is going to make a major move with a good hire but getting hung up on Freeze being the only option is silly.

Johnson was good one game and a liability the other games. We need new blood there. His ceiling was reached and wasn’t good enough. Time to play other younger and more talented players there

 

[Blake25p]

Pope is the only alarming transfer we have. That one makes no sense

Shrout hurts but it’s understandable.


The rest needed to move on

Pope was surprising because the VQ guys made it sound like he was done with football.

 

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

We had 3 QB's on roster, we now have 1.

We had exactly 2 DE. We now have 0.

This dog and pony show has to go.

I don’t think you understand how a 3-4 defense works. We have 6 or 7 DEs on the roster, we lost 2 OLBs but have a ton of young talent there

 

[tnhunter 10]

Swain talking about Volnation on hr no.2. @Freak making that $$$

You to have them to play them.

 

[BruinVol]

it’s surprising to me he isn’t coming back because he’s much needed a was good the last time we saw him play

I hadn’t seen that from Vq interesting

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Nope. Last game I was at was BYU. Will not go back until he is gone. More and more fans are getting to the same point. I don’t think they realize fan apathy is at an all time high.

... because no one is excited about seeing if we can extend our steaks over South Carolina and Vandy and maybe get the upper hand against Kentucky

So last week my wife (Pediatrician) received part one of the Pfizer Covid vaccine. She has not shown any signs of Zombification yet. I don’t think that happens until you get the second part... just a medical update for y’all.
She gets part 2 in 3 more weeks.

My hospital just got their shipment and I will get my first shot tomorrow. Not sure if ours is Pfizer or Moderna. I am pretty sure that one company has the zombification vaccine...

 

[BruinVol]

You to have them to play them.

We have already seen Johnson’s ceiling and it’s not good enough.

let me see brooks and the rest of the puppies next season.

 

[preacherwebb]

He is Alex not Allen

you are correct

 

[Blake25p]

Listening to the podcast over the last couple of months multiple times when asked about Pope they questioned if he really wanted to come back after everything he’s been through injury wise.

 

[KB5252]

Freshmen at that position aren't the answer. Not a good situation at all. But hell, at least we'll have a built in excuse for lack of production.

My wife got hers last week, but I think we both contracted it before her second dose. She probably got it at the hospital.. Her parents tested positive today and we are really, really sick since yesterday. We got tested this morning.

We had 3 QB's on roster, we now have 1.

We had exactly 2 DE. We now have 0.

This dog and pony show has to go.

But Bennett and Johnson (DE’s) were gonna be gone anyway, in a non-Covid year. One due to expired eligibility and the other due to a drug arrest.

We always knew one or both of Shrout / Maurer were going to transfer at some point. It’s what QBs lower on the depth chart do. Neither had proven unequivocally to be an SEC starter.

Sure, the argument can be made against Pruitt’s coaching prowess, pretty easily, but these transfers are not a meaningful part of that argument.

 

[RikidyBones]

I love this because when you look at it more like a Netflix series than a team you grew up loving its so entertaining.

That's what I'm screaming but through the lens of a simulation

 

[SpringBokVol]

I don’t trust anyone that starts by saying My Sources.
