Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I've came to the assumption that Banks will be in coaches box for the Vols next season..
I’m going to take the other side of that assumption. I don’t know anything but I think he moves on. We are going to give him ample time to find a good landing spot. I just think that’s how Heupel operates. We’ll know soon enough.
 
Watching this Texas Tech-BYU game and Texas Tech’s zone coverage makes me so jealous.

We are seeing teams like Texas Tech making plays defensively meanwhile we get to watch 22 and 2 look like they’ve never played football.

The chasm between Tenn and TT is enormous. That just can’t happen.
 
Corners weren’t on the line of scrimmage or at the safety level
Banks sucks
Last year his stats weren’t good either against the good teams
Even Arky had over 400 against us
Arkansas had 10 possessions and won the TOP by 10 minutes because our offense had 5 series of 5 plays or less.

I guess Alabama or Florida weren’t good teams. We held Alabama to its second lowest output (didn’t count bowl) as they scored 34+ on three ranked teams. We held Florida to its lowest output with a couple of other teams. We held Vandy to 23 (one score was a kickoff return and one was a Sampson fumble inside the redzone) and 212 total yards. They scored 27+ against Mizzou and Bama. Georgia scored more against 7 other teams than they did us. It was 17-17 at half, and our offense had 3 punts and a fumble in the second half. Have to break this stuff down. It really does come down to complimentary football, and we have trouble with that.

It's not enormous. They were one of worst defensive teams in the country last season. Fixed it by spending huge in the portal.

Now a top ten defense and in the playoff.

Last year we had a top ten defense and in the playoff.

They also play in the big twelve. So ascension has less obstacles.

There are no chasms when the portal is in play and you use it right. Not to mention how the recruiting overall has gone the last 3 years for us.

This year sucked. I doubt it lasts.
 
Is this a private school? Or a really dominate small school?
Or is this some crazy powerhouse large high school?
Fill in an outsider
Public School, during that period they won state championships in 2A and 3A and this year 4A after moving up this season. They've moved up for competition reasons and not for enrollment.
 
Texas Tech with a SEC level defense... Best money can buy.
I think they're good and in a one game take all scenario, they can probably beat anyone. I like how that team plays football.

But let's not go nuts here.

They're not playing the elite level players week in week out in that conference.

Heup said not to look at yards allowed bc with his system we will give up yards on defense. How many defenses shut down really good teams. Even Kirby Smart has given up 40+ multiple years to Bama and their talent levels are about as close as they get.

This is a smaller public school just outside of Knoxville. They actually moved up in divisions, despite their enrollment size. They are just a few miles from Maryville. Pretty wild to have two great hs programs so close to each other.
