Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[NMVol]

Hey, did any of you guys ever think that building a college roster is kind of watching bamboo grow? Oh wait. Never mind.

 

[crawdaddyjc]

I get you probably just can’t pass up the opportunity but man dude should have waited til next year. He’s almost doomed from the start, he’s going to have to have them in the playoffs by year 2 or that fanbase will want him gone

that why the “see you in 4 years” made me laugh. they wont wait that long.

We’ll miss you Dave!



jk, Ole Miss we be in the playoffs, but some people love to preemptively bitch and moan.

 

[KB5252]

Let's try to be reasonable people. We lost our starting qb from a playoff team in January. We replaced him with a qb who was rejected for our old qb. Realistically we probably had no business winning more than 6 or 7 games. Joey was a great stop gap but he lost us some games. He ain't Joe Burrow and no reasonable person could expect him to more an emergency stop gap.

But here's the problem, Joey turned out to be an upgrade over Nico. Had Nico stayed we'd likely have lost a couple more games.

That doesn't make me feel any better about the future.

 

[Batman1948]

Most people believe Trinidad Chambliss, Keywan Lacy etc will follow Kiffin to LSU. Wouldn’t those guys have to get a waiver though to transfer and play at LSU next year?

They can transfer anywhere when the portal window opens in January

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Are we not expecting Daevon Hobbs back? I agree with the overall sentiment and really hope that is the case of what we do.

Yes always injured. That’s why I said portal. He is a damn good player when healthy. But he is injured every year.

 

[Vol423]

I’m speaking about next year. He got that this year. He will get 2.5-3 if he stays.

If so, it better be somewhere else. He’s not worth that much.

 

[jave36]

If so, it better be somewhere else. He’s not worth that much.

Not calling you out specifically, but it's crazy how his board goes from "why isn't Joey getting Heisman talk?" to "I hope joey goes somewhere else."

Joey staying is the best possible outcome for us, but I agree he's not a 2+ mil qb.

Tim Banks defensive SEC rankings in 2021, his first year...

15th in total defense
15th in points allowed
11th in rushing defense
Last in pass defense
Yards allowed per game 378.5


2025

15th in total defense
15th in points allowed
11th in rush defense
Last in pass defense
Yards allowed 378.5

 

[NMVol]

Hard to say what Nico would have done on the field had he stayed. What is apparent at this time is that Joey's leadership skills surpass those Nico has in hand.

 

[Vol423]

That Portal guy is playing all over the field.

I hear he’s the grandson of Ray Guy.

 

[Carp]

Knowing the X's and O's doesn't matter if you can't get to the damn spot.

People thought the same about Will Brooks going into last year. But he consistently made big plays despite not being the most athletic and it was primarily because he knew the X's and O's and where to be.

The issues Turentine and Telander had this year were magnified by issues in other places (namely, no McCoy or Gibson, and having the ghost of Boo Carter).

Twitter and Facebook, the gifts that keep on giving..

Kind of like Kiffin.

I don't understand the clause in contracts that defines "firing with cause"

Why not just say we're firing you "cause you didn't win enough games" and we don't owe you anything.

Problem solved if this is written into every contract

 

[Orangeburst]

Kind of like Kiffin.

why do you like Kiffin?

lol

FIFY

Exactly. Especially with Gmac and Faizon. Let the talent eat and spend elsewhere. IMO

Id rather go 8-4, and let Faizon work it out. Than struggle through GMAC or a Gaspipe type.

George > Gaspipe


*I believe in McIntyre and think he'll be good enough to start next season. I also think the offense will be more productive this coming season too

 

[VolGee4]

so would you rather have a overthrow ball or under throw ball?..are you confident in saying our receivers are top tier after watching them this year or? so many factors to consider…but Nico played better in space creating plays with his feet. last year they made him more of a pocket QB in my opinion.im not saying confidently id take Nico over Joey im just saying both offense were night and day different.i liked the play calling better this year I just wish JH would fix his clock management.

The play calling is a result of who the QB is. Pretty clear to see.
