Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[SSVol]

You can’t judge by one season when they had a terrible OL, freshman QB, and injured WR’s. They were bad but not all because of him. He’s a Leach and Fedora disciple.

He was Fedora’s OC at UNC in 2015 when they had one of, if not the best offense in school history. Went 11-3. Littrell took the North Texas job, and Fedora was fired less than 3 years later. North Texas also hasn’t done any better after firing him. He won 9 games a couple of times.

That's like judging Heupel based on the COVID year at UCF. Context matters.

What else is he gonna say----dude took a huge pay cut and there's no way to explain that and not look stupid

Gators' Rioux, all 7-foot-9 of him, tries football

Florida basketball player Olivier Rioux, a 7-foot-9 center who played for the Under-19 Canadian national team this summer, recently worked out for the Gators' football team.

Cool idea to block field goals.

Also, on long field goals I’ve had an idea since the 90’s when I saw Alvin Harper dunk the football over the goal posts… on long field goals that could barely clear the crossbar, why not put a guy down there to “reject it at the rim” so to speak. I’m surprised nobody in the NFL has tried it

Are players allowed to climb the goal post? Why not just have a gymnast who is good at the balance beam camp out on the crossbar?

Basilio wasn't the first. It was a random posteron TOS. basilio ran with it acting like he was the first. That's why people don't like basilio. He takes credit for other people's work

Plagiarism is a serious charge----he could be burned at the stake and brandished from the profession for such nonsense

 

[Batman1948]

Nico should have tried to negotiate an NIL deal with Rogaine.

At this rate, he'll be bald by the end of the year. His helmet must be 3 sizes to small

 

[Batman1948]

Would love to see what Tiger and Jack both could’ve done with today’s tech. But also have to compete against today’s guys too

Jack won 18 majors and came in 2nd in 19 majors. His name should never be mentioned in the same sentence with any other golfer

My idea is good and you know it. Don’t try to make a mockery of it

 

[Batman1948]

Let’s hope. Upgrade.

When Heupel has hired new coaches from outside, he has nailed them. Inge is a stud.

Upgrade OC and Wr coach and we are cooking. I think everyone will actually Coach E after this year and how good they are on OL.

How do you know Heupel has nailed any of our coaches?

You take that back

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Looks like the check cleared everybody

If that's actually Boo's dad, I hope he spends more time talking to him than his mom. He sounds reasonable and mature. His mom...not so much.

That is his dad. He spoke more about it on his own page about internet stirring up rumors for clicks.

I think ONL being a major player in the nfl next year will be huge for recruiting in the portal

Lol bahaha

 

[rocktopper16]

Boo still is my favorite vol this year outside of Lewis.

I’m so ready to hear Boo Carter chants through the stadium similar to Eric Berrys.

 

[JCVol00]

So AP basically just more or less said that Boo realizes he can only play fb this fall at ut and wants back, but it’s iffy if the coaches/players want him back

I don’t blame them, I would be iffy too.

Probably leave for Colorado after the season. He's flirted with them too much. I feel sorry for kids, their favorite players could leave at any moment.

And some:

What’s the going rate of pay for having to watch gay men in white jumpsuits dance around on the sideline for your college career?

Is said rate going to cover the therapy bill afterwards?

 

[tnhunter 10]

UT lives rent free in Dorkwitzs head.

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

IF Boo truly wants to be here, apologizes to his teammates and coaches for his actions and vows to do better; then give him a chance to prove himself. But I’d let him know he’s on a very short leash.

Everytime they show it, I have to look away.

Such a cringe moment

@SSVol

That’s fair. But that’s also fair for every position. Like there’s more kids that are bona fide prospects at their specific position that just don’t turn into anything. Nico, given how high the expectations were. Nathan Leacock at WR. Chandavian Bradley at Edge. Addison Nichols OL. Harrison Bailey at QB. Dillon Bates at LB. Key Lawrence at DB. Maliek Gray at S. Kongo SDE. Drew Richmond at OT. JG at qb. Preston Williams at WR. khaleil McKenzie at DT. Kyle Phillips at SDE. Bryce brown at RB.

I mean the list goes on and on of high expectation players that never met potential or even started. There’s at least one every year it seems. Maybe it is that most kids just don’t have what it takes to perform at a really high level. But when it comes to camp measurable winning athletes that never break the 2 deep, to me that’s more often than not on the coaches to put them where they belong (from a physical attribute and mentality point of view) to get the most of that talent, versus a player that didn’t have what it took.

I disagree. Most of the guys you mentioned went to multiple schools. So none of the coaches could develop them?

It’s mostly on the player. If they have the athletic ability, right mentality, and work ethic, they will eventually figure it out

It would all seem like lip service because you know he's out the door the second the season is over

 

[RandomUTfan]

Every team has busts. Every NFL franchise has draft busts. Predicting productivity in football is not a science.

Sounds like people have been reading my posts again....

His only chance of playing this season is here, unless he steps down a division. And if he has to sit out a season, I could easily see him losing his luster. He's self-sabotaging and is potentially throwing away his future.
