Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

What a great hire if they do

how many proven winners are there?

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Vandy has a bend but dont break.

Banks style? No wonder

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yeah I think VA Tech would be a smart job to take for Franklin. Should be able to win 10 or more in this era of ACC and he can recruit well with pipelines he already built while at Penn State.

no no. bend but dont break.

Handful. And James Franklin is a proven winner. I was terrified florida would hire him. They seem all in on Kiffen and he isn’t going there. Can’t wait for their D hire.

It just makes zero sense to me that Cornhole had his show cause lifted yet we remain on probation. We're still getting punished because he sucked at cheating.

He's not an on-field coach. Just an analyst, so evidently the show cause doesn't apply

 

[BigSteve09]

Boo needs to go to Big Ten. He could be a poor man's Jabrill Peppers for someone up there.

If he stays in SEC I think it will be the last check he gets paid to play the sport

 

[BigSteve09]

It's funny how when Boo committed he was reported as a 3 star. But when he left he's reported as a former 4 star and was the all conference this or that.

 

[Batman1948]

we didn’t suck at cheating. We investigated ourselves.

Actually, one of our offensive lineman's sister blew the whistle on pecker head. It was well documented that pecker head treated everyone in the athletic office like sh*t. The sister finally had enough, and the rest is history.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Oh believe me. Vol fans are just as happy. Something tells me momma was a big part of the problem.

Considering she was banned from posting here I would say so

 

[Batman1948]

Coach gave him more chances than he should have and he pissed t5hem all away. I am not sure who is calling the shots for him, but I believe his mother and agent are the ones who got this episode started. Which those people giving hjim advice, his future does not look as bright as it should be. It is clear, he decided to be a non participant this year. hate to see that kind of talent be so compromised.

It did cost him a year of eligibility though. Maybe he thinks he can get drafted after one year at his next stop.

Yeah, she was extremely low IQ and lacked emotional intelligence. Need more of strong, good examples like momma Mashack and less ratchet Carter.

He certainly has 4 star talent. We saw that in his first year. But if he doesn't fix his mental side, he won't work out at the next place either. #BOOFORUCLA

 

[Batman1948]

Hopefully this team will come together now and finish strong

Boo was a locker room
Problem

You alienate yourself that much it’s a problem

CJH needs to sack up and call out these teams talking outside the lines

There have been coaches who threatened to blow the whistle on tampering coaches but so far, nothing has slowed the practice down---simply because tampering is rampant and the NCAA has been neutered. I would say, shame on us if we're not doing the same.

 

[Batman1948]

no no. bend but dont break.

We could see 10 total field goals in our game with Candy

If the media has a say, he'll be a 5 star at his next stop.

That was the key. He wasn’t well liked and didn’t win enough games. It had very little to do with cheating.

 

[volbeast33]

Defensive recruiting has become who wants to spend the most. Tamu, Mizz, Vandy, and Ok all spent.

you need a few elite guys and the rest being solid players. We have missed on too many players that we don’t even trust to put on the field.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Boo's mom. Nico's dad. I'm seeing a pattern here.

And how many people on here say CJH should ignore character and just pay for stars…This is why that is a bad strategy.

 

[vol9799]

That was the key. He wasn’t well liked and didn’t win enough games. It had very little to do with cheating.

We hired a Gump, a full fledged in-bred Bammer. What did we expect? We got exactly what we deserved for making that hire.

Please, oh please, don't let it come down to field goals.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Yep. We need to stop being so nice and cut dead weight and players who aren’t contributing. It’s a business now

I'm not a fan of Franklin, but that seems like a good fit for him.

Earlier this morning some posters mentioned Heupel not being himself, seeming down.

Been thinking about that some this morning. I've read here that Banks wasn't really his first choice but what kind of forced on him. It's been rumored Heupel has been instructed he needs to cut some bait on staff.

Could it be that he's upset he's being forced to shed some staff here rather keep and resents the fact he kind of got stuck with Banks?

I'm not trying to invent scenarios but I could see that weighing heavy on him.

Banks was not “forced on him.” A bunch of people told us no before he was hired. If anything, he probably doesn’t want to fire someone who took the job when nobody else wanted it. Also, firing people just sucks, especially when it’s someone you know well and like.
