Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Rishvol]

SIAP but man it is shocking to think McCoy could go #11 in the draft without playing a single snap of football. I know he’s great, but still. How often do we see that happen? Top 10-15 picks come at a premium, and it would seem like a real risk to draft someone that high coming off major surgery without seeing him play a single snap.

Knowing what he can do and 2 year recovery? I'd say they will take that because they don't have to worry that he came back "too quickly"

Drafting a skill player literally fresh off an injury and not having returned to action yet is literally what the Titans have done for like a decade. Caleb Farley vibes hittin hard.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

have to wait until combine and then we'll get a better idea of what his true value is

scouts may like him but he's going to have a ton of workouts and underwear olympics when he's finally ready to return

I think he can play this week if he wants to.

Miami has lost two games to unranked teams... Even though they beat Notre Dame by a FG first game of season, those two losses look worse than two losses to top 15 ranked teams...

A “bad loss” worse than Bama losing to 2-5 unranked Florida State?

 

[JT3]

no doubt in my mind we beat UGA with him

No question at all.

Faith in the Lord that everything will work out for everyone's best is the most effective prayer. It's constant prayer. I expect things to work out for your son and his fiancé. I will pray for it too, but God is infinitely good. Every trial is a blessing in disguise. I know it's often impossible to see that in the moment, but usually in retrospect we can appreciate it. God bless you and your family, brother.

Forget the laptops. How much for those shades, and where can I get em?

I've got a vintage pair of Ray ban Aviators with the cable temples. I occasionally wear them.

The NFL people don't give crap about anything other than tools, measurables, and potential.

Exactly, McCoy will make more money at the Combine and personal workouts for teams than a full season of film...

You're playing with fire if you only have two scholarship QB'S on an SEC team. Everyone says you need depth to compete with the big boys and that also includes the QB position. Unfortunately, that position requires big NIL money

I'd just have to see a plausible scenario where we are playing the third QB for meaningful snaps and the season isn't chalked anyway.

Paying anything for that slim contingency scenario seems like a bad insurance policy.

Poor Colton, guy busts his butt and becomes successful only to get picked by the Titans.

 

[jave36]

There's actually a lengthy recent history of corners who had 1st round grades at some point going into the draft off of year long injuries. Those guys have been going in round 2-3.

McCoy going in the top 15 seems crazy to me.

I agree, no film on how well he's playing after recovery. You can only see so much on a practice field, the mental side of a recovery from an injury like that is just as important, and you never know until actual games are being played.

 

[MemphisVol3]

SIAP, Tennessee's new commit average after the On3/247 update is over a .92.

Highest in program history potentially and we still are looking to add multiple four stars in the next 2 weeks!

Heup and staff can't recruit. Also our NIL, isn't among the top.

 

[MemphisVol3]

All that tells me is what a huge lost not having McCoy this year was to the defense. He was a game changer.

Yeah just think if we had him, Gibson, and Hood. No fly Zone. 3 corners you can leave on an island. Offers a ton of creativity you could do with the defense.

Linebackers and star would still be getting chewed up lol

 

[Orangeburst]

we finally had elite corners and depth..and kapooey.

3

That was my thought but two and four are possible

Mark Stoops could've completely changed the trajectory of kentucky football with that $22 mil lol. Gave it to Pope instead so they can continue to be a mid tier sec program

How is Notre Dame ranked ahead of Miami??

If only they could play each other and settle it on the field. Oh wait!!!!

Because ND figured out the formula. Play your hardest games first, be a favorite of the media bias and play all cupcakes starting with the 3rd game of season.

Because you avoid injuries and can say the team grew all year and you get rewarded with home playoff game.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Miami has lost two games to unranked teams... Even though they beat Notre Dame by a FG first game of season, those two losses look worse than two losses to top 15 ranked teams...

Or the other point being that ND got beat by a team who lost to two unranked teams instead of you look at some SEC teams like UT that has 3 loses to all top 10 teams….

At some point they need to be punished for their loses instead of saying they were early loses and they beat all the cupcakes and oh hey they are ND
