Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Use Roman numerals please. We're not animals geez.

Does it work?

 

[butchna]

Their FF run they played way above their heads. Pretty sure they shot the 3 well above what they did during the season. Otherwise, he didn’t do much.

They were participants in the original play-in games on that Final Four run. So they didn’t have a GREAT season until they did.

Read it. Might help.

I have actually. Thank you.

Have they tried it?

When to Use Roman Numerals Instead of Numbers

There’s going to be at least one transfer.

There’s going to be at least one transfer.

Very possible/likely. Then the questions regarding Salter.

Also, Milton is from Orlando, could they have had a previous relationship with him? If so, UT as a landing spot might make perfect sense.

Several years ago Bill Connelly identified what he called the 5 factors for winning football. They are explosiveness, efficiency, turnover margin, finishing drives, and field position.

I’ve previously posted efficiency rankings for a number of years (offense and defense) for a number of teams, including UT, UCF, and our regularly scheduled SEC opponents. We’ve not been all that consistent with efficiency on either side of the ball – but we have had a few years when we did decent. Those were the years where we won the most games.

I’ve also posted the drive finishing percentages for the UCF offense under Heupel. I didn’t post ours but I assume intuitively that it’s not been that good, particularly in the past 3 years.

I don’t have field position yet but in looking at turnover margin during the Heupel years, UCF was at the top of their conference all three years with a significantly positive turnover margin. We haven’t had a positive turnover margin against SEC opponents in any year since 2009.

That leaves the remaining factor of explosiveness. I looked at the number of plays per game that gained over 10 yards and used that as my measure. The comparison is for 3 years (2018, 19, & 20) and looks at UCF, UT, UA, UF, & UGA.

Heupel will probably score a lot of points but it may be Tim Banks who wins those extra games for us. jmo.

I think Florida's passing game could fall off the map this year so if we can contain their run game - and assuming our offense is clicking - in his first road game as a Vol, Heupel may have a shot to stroll into the swamp in September and bring home our first win there since 2003. jmo.

He’s enrolled at FSU.

Still much more recent than anything Barnes has done.

 

[VolByLaw]

He’s enrolled at FSU.

Joe Milton, who is from Orlando, is not enrolled at FSU. Mckenzie Milton, who is from Hawaii and played at UCF, is though.

False. Shaka didn’t win a tournament game at Texas. But you will figure out how it’s better than the last 6 years at UT.

Drew update:

Radiation and chemo is over...
Drew’s cancer has not shrunk. It remains inoperable. He’s pretty feeble but focused. Fluid on his brain. Possible the shunt has malfunctioned. They are moving back home. Deflated obviously. But have felt as if this was the expectation all along. My brother and SIL will introduce various palliative care and unorthodox treatments. There’s still some fight to be had. And he is willing.

Please pray for my sweet nephew. And keep your eyes fixed on Jesus as we approach Good Friday. One week. Hey, but it didn’t end there... did it?

Prayers for all involved.

First name issue. Obviously misunderstood you.

 

[drvenner]

Shaka’s leaving Texas for Marquette

By his choice?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

False. Shaka didn’t win a tournament game at Texas. But you will figure out how it’s better than the last 6 years at UT.

Barnes FF was in 02
Shakas was in 10.
How is it not more recent?

 

[drvenner]

My puns are always intended.

Even if they are not always appreciated.

 

[butchna]

Barnes FF was in 02
Shakas was in 10.

Specific to Texas.

 

[drvenner]

They’d have to pay me a whole bunch of money to leave Bama for Texas. He’s turning Bama into a monster.

Let's see how he does next year without a number of his veteran players. He inherited a very good roster.

 

[VolGee4]

Barnes FF was in 02
Shakas was in 10.

That’s the only argument you got. Barnes has 3 tournament wins and a SS at UT. Shaka has nothing at Texas. Who has the more recent success?

 

[drvenner]

I said I would take VCU Shaka over Barnes. I'm interested to see if he goes back to that system. He should.

Shaka is Shaka. You don't get to pick which version, LOL.

 

[drvenner]

Does it work?

I hope you are asking for a friend.

Welp, that ends this debate
