Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Aesius]

Apparently Syracuse has an 8th year senior on their roster: https://cuse.com/sports/football/roster/david-reese/24657

If you look at his 247 page, he was first offered by Miss State... in January 2016. Dan Mullen still had two seasons left in Starkville at that point.

This guy's recruiting cycle and collegiate career has spanned a full decade.

Allar being celebrated for years has always baffled me. They won a game last year where he didn't hit a single receiver for a pass.

@Enki_Amenra

my buddy in bristol just said a line of weedeaters just passed him on 81

I will never understand doing that to a car. It looks funny, no performance benefit, you can not drive them anywhere, and the turning radius is about the size of Neyland Stadium.

I try not to make fun of the people who do it, though. . . not too much anyway. At least they have some passion about something.

The brutality of Tojo breaking out those wooden shoes was something else.

We're winning a title in the next 2 years

Wonder what Vols media department is cooking up for the Dark Mode video?

I feel like the majority of the fanbase is completely overlooking Arkansas - looking ahead to “getting ready” for Alabama.

I trust the Coaches are not.

I’m nervous.
They’re a wounded animal backed into a corner.
They have playmakers.
They will have the element of surprise/unknown.
They have a wild card coach.

Comments already being made about how the team has nothing to prepare for.

Hope they’re ready. They could easily get bit in this scenario.

I’d be nervous if it was on the road… but it’s not. I can’t remember the last time we no showed in Neyland against an inferior opponent.

Agreed. Plus Arkansas got us last year in an almost identical scenario. They aren’t sneaking up on us this time

I’m thinking a 45-24 type win

Don't believe it happens a lot. Saying that Nashville soon will be a all Major Sports town. Titans, Expansion Baseball team, Predators and the Grizzlies.

I bet a lot of St Louis Rams fans have changed teams. I'm sure many still support them in LA but probably just as many bitter they left.

A 100 rating?!

Did Barnes seriously pull a kid who's going to go #1 overall?? This season is gonna be fun

I was told by Auburn fans Rodney Garner was washed up and his message no longer translates to today’s players.

They done put Boo behind Charles House III

Drew Allar is bad...but also the biggest complaint with him is completion %, 3 of his games he's been under 58% but I'm not sure if that's all on him or if it's drops.

Nico is still Nico and he chose UCLA, his completion % is a bit inflated because he has been checking down so often. Holds the ball too long and misses on the deep ball when he throws it. Those rushing attempts have gone up because he's back to first read and run mentality.

Dude took 41 passing attempts and had 11 rushing against UNLV and just 255 passing yards. He's lost his confidence throwing it past 10 yards it seems.

Allar is chucking it though, just missed more than he hits.

Arion really did save the day. For sure game-tying TD. Peeled off his guy to bat this away. Give the man some love.

Camera adds 10 pounds. . .

That excuse didn't work for me with my wife. Hope you have better luck here.

really is impressive how he plays all three lb positions, at the same time

Ok, I have the gofundme up. I would really appreciate it if people could share it:

Donate to Help Rebuild a Life After Tragic Loss, organized by J Lee

MY STORY: Some of you already know my story but others may not so here goes... In … J Lee needs your support for Help Rebuild a Life After Tragic Loss

gofund.me

And is there a place where I can post this here where it won't get lost?

ETA: Also it's long so if you just want to see my goals and needs scroll down (it's in a bolded section).

Re-posting this so more eyes see it. Please help if you can.

It reminds me of South Carolina in 92-93. They got us in a close upset at Columbia and then we smacked them the next year in Neyland.
