Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Doesnt matter. We still wont have the horses

Gonna have much more horses than this year. The RB, WR, DL/Edge rooms 100% got better. We also still have the portal. Need to secure Verse as a start.

Hopefully returning guys get better with another year in the system. Sucks Cade is likely not returning.

Hopefully the guys in this year’s class are good foundation dudes. Some great size & speed at various positions incoming.

Tillman & Hooker returning is huge, hopefully Hyatt makes strides and some of the other young WRs step up.

I laughed on a night when it is hard to laugh!

Nope. I think we will only win 7 again next year. There are some morans expecting 10 next year though

I'm not predicting 10 wins but we could have hit that mark this year. I think most people just dont want to put a ceiling on it.

Predictions are worthless either way imo.

Correct me if im wrong but if the DB is looking for the ball then it wont be called PI right? 5 or 6 lf those PIs called for purdue our db was looking lfr the ballc its all bs

Media bewildered by wild Tennessee-Purdue OT clash in Music City Bowl: 'This game is drunk right now'

CJH said the whistle blew after the ball was extended across the goal line. That's probably about as far as he'll take it, and I doubt he'll let the players address it more directly than that.

While we could have had a couple different outcomes in our favor, these kids exceeded expectations this year. I agree with you that 7 should now be the expectation next season. Anything above that is a job well done if the keep competing the way that they have all year. It may take 3 full recruiting cycles to get the horses needed on the OL and on defense as a whole to reach 10 wins. Glad to see someone else is still realistic.

My personal view is I have no ceiling. We have enough play makers that if we catch breaks we could make the SEC championship and who knows from there

My baseline expectation is 7 wins though. If we only get 6 or less, I will be disappointed. 7 and I’m content and I think that’s what we need to land a really good recruiting class

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate Jimmy Football who is putting in work liking all these posts tonight.

I could have spent my afternoon buying $5 Rolex watches at a pro wrestling event and it would have been less fake than the Music City Bowl officiating.

It's 100% a disappointment if they don't win 8 regular season. Just a handful of plays from winning 9 this year. As long as we don't see any mass exodus the roster got better after ESD at important spots.

End of the day won’t do any good, that was an ACC crew we may never have for a game again.

Commenting won’t change the result, so rather see the team & staff focus on next season.

I disagree. We may not be at Bama/UGA level next year, but we were a few blown calls/flops from beating Ole Miss/Pitt/Purdue. I think just doing extra time in the weight room could make up the difference there.

We got most key players back, and we have yet to see what the portal will do for us. If we can gain half as much in the next year as we have in the past year, we will be fine.

Byron Young played well.

Slaughter played well when he went in for McCullough. Hope he starts next year

I still say Fulmer sold his soul for the natty. The curse still lives.

As long as the caveat is there that a competitive team is the expectation, I’m fine with giving CJH plenty of rope and time. No reason a “rebuilding” team shouldn’t be able to compete like this years team did though.

What's he got to lose at this point?!

Yes, Slaughter/portal and Charles is the move. Have to upgrade. It's a huge liability. Corner is very close if these dudes don't start looking at the ball.

The question is what would he have to gain beyond venting his spleen. All risk, no reward.
