Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[UTSuave’]

It was said that Tee leaked the investigation to the media. That alone should be enough to send him on down the road. It seems that everyone on the staff couldn't stand each other so a clean slate is probably best for everyone involved.

Awwwwww come on @Batman1948

 

[RDU VOL#14]

who is to say Gray will even be eligible.

True. That’s what I’m not quite understanding. If they were ineligible you would think OU would’ve done their homework on this. What’s the word w/ Henry T?

 

[UTSuave’]

I will agree to disagree that he "knows his s**t" because I think it is overblown. And whatever he does know loses credibility because he has ZERO ability to be objective on any topic related to football.

 

[Weezer]

In all fairness he does know his s**t it’s just he values his relationship with tee and feels like he should have gotten atleast a look and for that I respect him and he will get no bickering from me because that is his friend.

Tee is not ready to be a HC. If that's his end goal, he's either gonna have to tear it up as an OC at a big school(which he has already failed to do) or take a job at a small school and work his way up. He's not gonna step into a P5 HC gig with his current resume. That's not disrespect, that's just straight up fact.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

If he wants to play offense. I say we let him.

 

[Batman1948]

This guy may or may not work. He has had success in this conference and else where.... People wanna say his team got worse at 6-4 in conference play id be thrilled to have went 6-4 in any f****** league. With major injuries to boot. You get bent and I will sit back and support UT while bot being a part of the toxic waste enviroment and give the guy a chance.

That 6-4 record is smoke and mirrors. He had a ton of optouts due to the Covid situation and some critical injuries. They were in every game despite all the distractions and lost 3 very close games.

 

[Weezer]

That‘s why i hate to see Gray gone to OU. I think he would’ve been great in this offense. I normally don’t have a problem w/ guys transeferring, but this stuff w/ OU is pissing me off a little bit.

I'm more mad about Wanya and Key. I like EG, but I think we have kids that can fill his shoes.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Let me say this...I love Eric Gray, hate to see him go. And granted I know his stats were greatly limited by our terrible offense.

Still for his 2 year career

258 attempts 1311 yds 8 tds
43 catches 369 yds 3 tds

Wasn't like he was setting the world on fire, and most those numbers were heavily improved by 2 games. He only went over 100 yards 5 times in his 22 games here.

 

[Weezer]

If he wants to play offense. I say we let him.

Guess he still wants out of his NLI.

 

[2xVol]

I guess the admin wants to give the new dc a chance to recruit him before letting him go? I assumed he would be gone by now.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

You’re right. Running back is definitely a position that is easier to fill than tackle or safety, but just the fact that Gray was our best offensive player hurts from not only a production standpoint, but perception wise as well. AV did say that the transfers were due to some of the benefits stuff. I guess we’ll see.

 

[Weezer]

Can you release a kid from a NLI with conditions?

 

[BruinVol]

Can you release a kid from a NLI with conditions?

Sure

Not disagreeing I’m just speaking in general

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Can you release a kid from a NLI with conditions?

Yeah. We could tell him hey you can't go to an SEC school.

 

[Batman1948]

If your Jeff Lebby, would you take take an OC job at Tennessee or head coach at UCF?

He's already an OC at Ole Miss making $1.2M so I would say head coach at UCF

 

[Weezer]

Sure

No SEC East teams, no Bama, no Ole Miss(because I don't want Kiffin getting him)

And no Oklahoma.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

My favorite JH stat.



If JH can replicate just 3/4 of those numbers at UT with Salter/ Bailey.. then watch out.

 

[MemphisVol3]

I'll take a team full of midgets if they are fast like them or Tyreek Hill.

It's unfair how ridiculous the Bama receiving corps have been in recent years.

 

[BruinVol]

Yeah. We could tell him hey you can't go to an SEC school.

That would be bad. Can’t do that imo

 

[GVol1966]

2015: 14th in total offense, 14th in ppg
2016: 1st in total offense, 5th in ppg
2017: 1st in total offense, 1st in ppg

I’d say it’s adequate.
Didn’t remember the exact #’s but new it was good.
So I don’t understand the ones questioning it working here, unless they are unaware

 

[Batman1948]

Can you release a kid from a NLI with conditions?

Not sure about now, but in the past you could stipulate anywhere but in conference or anyone on your upcoming schedules.

 

[BruinVol]

No SEC East teams, no Bama, no Ole Miss(because I don't want Kiffin getting him)

And no Oklahoma.

We just can’t Do that
make him wait and meet with the DC and then if he wants out it has to be complete and free to anywhere

 

[mr.checkerboards]

That would be bad. Can’t do that imo

It's an awful look, but it can be done.

Big Gooch has clearly been reading VN....

High Pull is gonna catch on I know it
