Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Have you ever seen a Rook Card? A lot of people call our color yellow even though it's not. Color blindness is common in males and Rook doesn't help.

Rook is my favorite card game. My grandfather was vicious. It was so much fun when he was on my team. Maybe even more fun when I played against him.

Man...hopefully the BasketVOLs & BaseVOLs get some all black love...

Maybe Barnes will break 'em out for the Memphis game in Nashville.

I guess we could all use some “all black love”

 

[NMVol]

I guess it's not unprecedented. There's been black out lines of orange numerals on white jerseys before.

So basically the cliff notes are.

1. couldn't get any new helmets (all black etc.) cause COVID
2. equipment team customized our current helmet style for the alternate. So they painted mask and added the black stripes etc.

I dig it and it almost seems cooler knowing our own guys made the changes to switch up the helmet so it wouldn't just be the normal white ones.

And this is WHY YOU DO IT

Agreed. As much as I don’t like the new white helmet with the black uni, it’s about what the kids love. If they love it then that’s really what matters.

Wasn't here Saturday, but I'm sure this was brought up.

Why do you all think Hooker was kept in (and running quite a bit) so deep into the game? That was one thing I didn't get. I figured if he stayed in they'd at least practice some passing concepts. Not a negative comment, but curious...

A) Reps - needs as many as possible
B) Didn't want or intend on playing Milton much.

My assumption.

They probably just ordered black masks and customized decals.

@ACvol3 MY ALL in the collar

 

[eVOLve]

This looks though

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

So is he saying UT will be the favorite by the time that games comes around? I dont understand what he means by this....so you should only wear alternate units if you're and underdog or a toss up game?

I think he is saying roll with this because we are predicted to win and it keeps our momentum going into the next game.

So basically we are trying to keep the momentum going and these uniforms will keep the players even more hyped and on target.

Giving us a better chance to get the upset against Ole Miss.

Our commits have been loving them on IG. Haven’t looked at any of our targets.

 

[SoilVol]

I know some people hate those jerseys, but I love them. Wear them in an away game next year, and if you pair it with the new white helmet with black detail, even better. Mixing old with new is cool.

I love them. I loved the Smokey Greys having the darker carbon color on the shoulder pads - mirroring this design. Not sure how many caught that connection at the time. I just wish we had an alternate of these. Would love to see them in a game in Tuscaloosa down the road.

 

[Jackcrevol]

all that matters.

do want to see nikes smokey gray

 

[jordan4vols]

Don’t @me but that helmet needs to be the every Saturday helmet. Outline our numbers in black like the old school stormtroopers when Peyton played and let’s roll.

I love that Huepel had VFL Chris Walker unveil the uni's to the team. Huepel gets it.

Would need to add black to the white top and pants to match well.

Edit: Nvm you just said that lol

 

[VOLSONLY]

New coach, culture- he’s connecting with these players, new uni’s (which I like btw) these kids will run through a brick wall Saturday if that’s what it takes. We’re gonna win Saturday, no doubt about it. Can’t wait

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Win this weekend and we are basically guaranteed 6-6 at minimum. Most had us at 5-7. Heck of a job by JH if he gets this team bowl eligible. Would love to win 7-8.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Yo I didn’t think about it but how many recruits do we have coming for this game?

An SEC game at home that we are predicted to win while also wearing an alternate Jersey is a heck of a message to recruits, just saying.

 

[Jack Burton]

Living here in Texas first thing that I thought was Oklahoma State jersey. Glad there’s no black helmet. Just my opinion.View attachment 400268View attachment 400269

Oklahoma State has used the white helmet too. I think our total look is better though.

I havent seen a number but it seems like they loaded up on recruits for this game. Also cruising through the B Ball forums, there seems to be a few important B Ball guys as well this weekend.

See, that’s what I call smart recruiting.

Everyone pissed it’s not against Ole Miss but not realizing that it’s good especially if we absolutely destroy USCe in these alternates.

Plus the atmosphere will be insane, also, I like that all the coaches are working together to recruit.

 

[AWVOL]

Could they not have used a vinyl wrap on the helmet?

Tyler was stuffing my cousin like a Thanksgiving turkey that night. I remember Tyler saying he didn't like Dooley
