Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

Also wish our fanbase would appreciate Arion Carter more...he has 15 more combined tackles than anyone else in the SEC. And he's sat probably 3 or 4 quarters this year too.

I think he’s been what we expected, the other LB’ have not been what they were hyped up to be pre-season

 

[Wickman]

We already have one

I think Glen is fine. But Sam Pittman laps circles around him. Better recruiter. Better OL coach. No brainer. It isn’t happening tho

Go Cubs. ️

Anytime the Padres get beat on the baseball field is a good day .

I'm still baffled and confused with the LaNorris Sellers draft hype. Other than a few exciting sports center scrambles, the dude is not even an average QB.

Take the last QB’ s from UF and Bama (can’t remember their names) and you basically have Sellers.
Don’t see him ever making a decent NFL and would be a wasted 1st round pick

 

[Volbucky]

Maybe Pitman was smart.
Made them say that.
“say I wasn’t the problem and I’ll take less of what you owe me”!!

That’s not smart. Would you give up a couple mil for that?

Maybe if I thought it would benefit me getting another big-time head coaching job. Probably not, since any decent big-time AD would know what was really going on there.

 

[butchna]

Yeah if we're playing "project draft picks" after the first 5...

Can be 1st rounders: Heard, Hood, McCoy, Brazzell

First 3 rounds but could be fringe 1st round with good combines: Joey, Moe and Josephs

It has to burn Prime that he got a 3 star from Auburn and practically ghosted him only for Tennessee to have a five star lockdown corner in effect.

He's done being a head coach. I'll be shocked if he does any coaching at all.

Better payment terms? Lump sum vs payments?

Well , if you’re planning on getting another HC job then yes.
Your former boss that fired you just said he didn’t have the support he needed to compete.!

Idk, just a devil's advocate thought

Who landed Sanders? Who has the best O line now?
What you said was once true. It might not be now.
Steve Spurrier was once one of the best College football coaches. Florida would be stupid to hire him again to replace Sunbelt B.

The portal has also caused this new landscape...

2025 we saw these guys who all played meaningful snaps leave.
S Jakobe Thomas
S Christian Charles
S John Slaughter
S Christian Harrison
CB Jordan Matthews

2024 we saw these guys leave
S Wesley Walker
S Tamarion McDonald
S Jack Luttrell
CB Doneiko Slaughter
CB De'Shawn Rucker
CB Brandon Turnage
CB Warren Burrell


It's just the nature of that position group in college sports...we only got McCoy and Hood because they left other P4 programs themselves. I think most of us would agree that on the defensive side the secondary is your "show me the money" types like WRs for offense. They all want to be on the field making plays and getting paid...if they feel they aren't getting that they now can just leave.

You only have so much money and I would find that very excruciating. Can pay everyone what they want. Almost have to be a collective bargaining. Coaches are doing everything they can to field a winning team. GBO

 

[jmacvols1]

this might keep go;wash away from Ark...

 

[all_volz]

Finebaum possibly running for US Senate is not something I had on my bingo card.

I'm more shocked that he's Republican

Yeah but he isn’t and it won’t help regardless.

Karl Ravech talking about Tony’s recruitment of Crochet on national TV during the MLB post-season. Recruiting machine go brrrrrrr.

 

[Weezer]

Maybe we should sacrifice you as tribute to make sure it doesn’t happen.

Take your Vicki Vallencourt voodoo elsewhere!

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Jakobe's decision was about money. He wanted more than we were willing to spend at that spot given the confidence we had in what was behind him. Simple as that.

Yeah, still dumb to me. Given that playing for the Vols was his "dream"
