Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[butchna]

Who is our head strength coach? I seemed to have missed that hire.

Kurt Schmidt.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Man, I bet everybody in the New Orleans Saints' front office and the coaches just got chest pains, watching the 75 million dollar man, snowboarding

Remember that RB from Georgia drafted by New England about 20 years ago who ended his career playing flag football on the beach at the Pro Bowl? Edwards, I believe

Robert Edwards.

Robert Edwards.

That was an awful injury.

We beat UGA like a drum during those years, but man, he was tough against us.

Almost single-handedly beat us in '95 I think. Last second field goal by Jeff Hall won it.

I’ve seen the look in a man’s eyes that says, “I could knock back 20 cans of suds if the mood strikes me right.”
This man has that look

Think he was on Gronkowski’s Real World: Tampa Redux Edition

We owe him. He owned Florida that season and that netted us Peyton’s only SEC championship game.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

His insurance company guy just had a heart attack..

Gronk is a likeable guy but he overestimated his entertainment value...that’s why he came back. He’s no Rock or John Cena.

Pretty solid overall staff of what seems like likeable and personable dudes. Kids probably will have more fun with this group. Not sure if there is a single coach that has a bad personality rep with how they deal with people.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Artis pursued the South Carolina job heavily. Without knowing specifics, I believe he was underpaid relative to his peers in the SEC and he had been unhappy here for some time.

They must read VN

This dude is my favorite coach ever

Uhhh, he had literally just taken the job with no prior experience running his own program ever. He wasn't underpaid for a first time strength coach

He was underpaid because he was handed job by default in a pandemic yr. seems like everyone was unhappy working for Pruitt. Probably because he fired them all at some point as someone said lol

Talk about a bust that dude ended up being

Yeah, I don't necessarily agree or disagree. Just saying it was obvious for a while that he was going to move on if he could.

Another aspect of it is he was upset with Pruitt because he felt like he was doing the head S&C job for a while before being given the title and raise.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Good luck to Artis at South Florida.

 

[pierce60]

For those who might miss Eric Gray here is something to consider....It would be nice to have a back who can both pass block and get yards running

 

[BigOrangeVols]

2021 team doesn't even need to be all that good...just let it rip and put up some points and I think we'll all be a bit happier than seeing Pruitt's product on the field.

A few rays of optimism from Basilio's recruiting expert "X" this morning:

In an odd sort of way Coach Heupel may be a bit relieved Simpson and Horn chose different schools. It’s almost like hiring a new head coach but not giving him freedom to hire his staff. When Coach Heupel took the job, the top of his quarterback recruiting board was already set. He didn’t recruit either prospect at Central Florida. Now, he can recruit the quarterback(s) of his choosing. Two things I’m sure of 1) there are plenty of quarterbacks that would love to play in his offense and 2) there are more undervalued quarterback prospects available in this cycle, because of COVID (some states didn’t play football in 2020 and some had very limited seasons), than in past recruiting cycles.

The Tony Basilio Show

He goes on to list several potential QB targets, including Drew Allar.

I had the feeling that JH was using reverse psychology with the QB recruiting. Making others think he really wanted Simpson and Horn, all the while sitting back thinking, yeah yall get them whiles I got my eyes focused on what I want.

No you wouldn't, they really don't heal. Well, they heal just not they way they were beforehand. Your Achilles tendon is about the size of your pinky finger. After surgery and healing it's about the size of your thumb. When they stitch it back together the doctor told me the suture was similar to blind cord. It never flexes like it did before. Before I tore it I could take off from the free-throw line and 360 windmill dunk. Now I'm lucky just to pass it under my leg before throwing it down. (The last part may or may not be true.)

Invol more like...

 

[drvenner]

I would have rather torn mine. At least it can heal. Still have tendinitis 6 years later and I had to give up running in the process.

Oh well, it forced me to weight training and now I’m jacked underneath all this flab.

I like it.,
