Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Vols410]

Is there a chance Pearce comes back? The narrative on draft boards seems to be that his sack numbers, run defense, and weight all need to be better, but his underlying numbers (pff run def grade, win% in pass rush situations, etc.) actually make him the 2nd most impactful edge player in my system (behind only Abdul Carter). He missed on some sacks for sure, but that was with a lot more double-teams coming his way, and the win% tends to be MUCH more predictive of future sack numbers anyway.

If he comes back, my grades would have him down as the most valuable returning non-QB in college football.

I’d actually be pissed if he came back, solely because he should definitely go and get that first round money.

I think if he comes back the production will match the underlying numbers. If he's getting projections in the 15-20 range, I think it's very likely he could bump up to top 5 next year and double his bonus.

BOOOOOOOOOM

I asked Sally to write a country song titled "I've Got Pride In My Double Wide". She did good...it's pretty catchy. Not sharing because I might record it, get famous, and help UT take over in NIL.

No

After June of this year, Bill has a $1mil buyout. No way I'd commit to that kind of huge question mark. Not to mention, he's in his upper 70s.

Ol’ Bill has sure seen a lot since the High Middle Ages.

He has some staying powers.

He has some staying powers.

Fun fact: He’s the only coach to ever win a Super Bowl and witness the signing of the Magna Carta.

He translated the war theory he learned in the Crusades into winning football.

I’ll give you credit for fixing Lady Vol
basketball, but you’ve totally dropped the ball as Banks’ agent.

Good news imo. With another easy path to the playoffs next season we don’t need to go installing a new defensive scheme and it has improved every year he’s been here. Another year with Gibson, McCoy, Boo and we should see an improved secondary

 

[peaygolf]

Whoa, or Woah.

1st time?

soft zone is here to stay

Well Arch better toughen up. We all viewed the one hit vs Ohio State and 3 days later he figured out where he was at...

Just hope Gibson doesn't play more like an Epiphone.
