Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[SLICKYINC]

The problem is no blue chip QB waits until well into the season of his senior year before committing. All the big programs have their guys locked up by then.

We’ll always have May..

Also, he knows that Tennessee fans will read the article, even if it’s to comment on how terrible it is. He really doesn’t care because it gets him clicks and attention. Facts don’t matter, clicks do.

Unfortunately I am guilty this morning.

I understand that, but right now, we can't go into GA and take the top talent with Kirby there. Heck, we can't even go to NC right now with Mac signing the top in state talent there. So it is imperative that we do the best we can to keep our in state kids close to hope.

Guess I am just not as worried about top talent as I was after Pruitt trying to outbid everyone then doing nothing with them. GA can't get all the players in GA. Get some top players from TN, GA and then everywhere else. Get the best players you can that want to play for Tennessee.

Maybe AP will be in a better mood after his mom brings him a snack.

My interest in recruiting is fading. I’ve seen us sign up some damn good players and then go lose to teams who have classes rated way worse than UT’s.

I want to see on-field results. Just give me somebody who can consistently get us to 8-4 with a bad year being 7-5 and the opportunity to get hot and pull a couple upsets and end up 10-2 or 11-1.

Winning recruiting has done nothing for us. We still barely beat teams like USCe and Mizzou (and get our azz beat by them on occasion). We still lose to UK and a crappy ARK team. We out-recruit all of those teams on an annual basis. And we still get spanked by FL who has similar recruiting averages as us.

I know we need the Jimmy and Joes but for the love of all that is holy, just. bring. me. wins.

Long post to basically say “Don’t Care Just Win”

I totally agree BTW.

He's going to have to Barnes this thing. That's our only hope. Recruiting is harder than ever with Dabo at Clemson, Kirby at GA, Saban at Bama, Kiffin at Ole Miss, and now Brown at NC. Not to mention OU and OSU coming down and taking players also.

With all of that competition from elite teams and NC, it's going to be tough for us when we've been down for so long and we have all of this toxicity around our program, all of these negative headlines, and the looming NCAA stuff. That said, we will finish in the top 20 every year because we are TN. Hopefully top 15. That's still more talent that half the conference, and everyone in the east outside of the top 2. Let him Rick Barnes this thing. Develop the players that we have, overachieve, and the elite recruits will start coming.

That's our only hope to getting back imo

So we need an Admiral Schofield and Grant Williams of football.

We need QB’s. We need HB and Salter to be dudes

 

[Deebowbear]

Or are we?

I think he has everyone lined,just a matter of announcing them

 

[VolsNUT]

I love southern craft. I like them both. Depends on what I'm in the mood for. Honestly, with Ridgewood, I came for the bbq but I stayed for that blue cheese dip they have. It's amazing.

I don't even like blue cheese, but that stuff is highly addictive!

 

[Nashvegas31]

I wonder if there is any chance for a guy like Kivon to get back in team with a new staff. We could use him

 

[Jackcrevol]

No worries Bass. When we dropping 35ppg and win 8 games next year, we will land them. Let the negativity calm down and win some games. We will be good to go.

this job needs a cruiter on staff. so far biggest criticism of hypeful is bringing in guys with 0 sec experience. truth is this just may be an impossible task given the current circumstances.

its gotta be purely NCAA related

If they were ornery enough I suspect Heupel could find a spot for both.

 

[Catbone]

Ok but seriously now, if it's not House at DC we are in trouble. Time is ticking

 

[Jackcrevol]

2 for $20! Let’s gooo

the old reduced size plate, $4.95 for a side trick. 'happy hour' is $1 off $6 beer night.

How do you know we're in trouble? You have no idea who is hire is

Heupel, Ellarbe and Burns have SEC experience. If we bring in House? That’s another. Jabbar Juluke...LSU. Potentially 5 right there.

 

[Jack Burton]

What's Galilee saying about rumblings in Memphis?

If it’s positive it’s probably about basketball.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Still having withdrawals from his Pruitt tit milk and Danny White plugging the leaks.

would say something mean here but ill pass

 

[Catbone]

Unless it's a guy from the NFL, the major DC players are less likely to make moves this late

Your logic is accurate but I kinda agree with him.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I mean, if we're getting turned down, all he has to do is hire Steele.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Missouri is SEC experience....sigh. Ok, you win. But, it still doesn't sit right. Columbia is on other side of nowhere.

Seriously. My wife doesn't either but she loves it too.
