27-30 Players not in Spring Game start Aug. 3

[JonGrudensAgent]

It won't be much longer before we are talking how miraculous a job Pruitt did simply fielding teams for the Spring game at this rate.

Offensive line will be the most important position to shore up in the Fall. Hope Smith and Hall are ready to roll.

Where is this talent you speak of. A 4-8 team is not talented.

Could be better, could be worse, but it ain't the same team of players or team of coaches.

But you knew that.

 

[Burger]

Could be better, could be worse, but it ain't the same team of players or team of coaches.

But you knew that.

And they're 2 or 3 years behind. That's where the lack of development will hurt badly.

 

[Behr]

What are we discussing or arguing here?

So two years ago ALL that wasted talent went away all at once?

 

[Burger]

What are we discussing or arguing here?

No developed talent.

Outdated Pabst tallboys. He’s saving on bottled water. :blink:

 

[Behr]

No developed talent.

None?

 

[butchna]

None?

Burger’s an all or nothing guy. He went with Board of Education over Brown.

 

[Burger]

It went away brick by brick.

 

[Burger]

None?

Almost none. Sorry.

 

[Behr]

Almost none. Sorry.

No need to apologize, I think you're wrong. If Pruitt and his staff are anywhere close to what we hope, there is enough talent there to slow your roll, or at least switch it to something else.

All I heard for the better part of 3 years from "some of us" around here was how bad Butch sucked. How he was a pretty damn good recruiter, but couldn't teach a drunk how to fall down.

Now he's gone and some of the "some of us" aren't saying "let's see what Pruitt and his staff can do", its " we have NO talent, we gone suck, you're gone be bigly disappoint.... "

With all the suck headed our way, I'm amazed at you guys that aren't gonna be disappointed.

Injuries as an excuse? Here we go again.

 

[volfan102455]

No developed talent.

Talent is developed via experience on the field. An injured player typically is not on the field.

I believe the biggest problem the last couple of years has been the injuries. Solve that and the team improves. Don't solve that and it matters not who the coach is.

Lulz. You done gone lost yo mine.

It'll take Pruitt more than 9 months to change the suckage. Botch was a good con artist.

Talent is developed on the practice field. That's where Botch sucked.

Botch was a good con artist.

Obviously, but in year 1 "suckage" ain't the same as normal.

How so?

 

[volfan102455]

Talent is developed on the practice field. That's where Botch sucked.

We'll see - what happens on the practice field must be executed on game day. If a player is on the sidelines with an injury - it matters not how well that player has been developed or how well they practiced that week. That player is NOT contributing.

Haters gonna hate

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Hopefully we'll have several instant impact Freshmen/JUCOs.

Looks like we're trying to pry away a JUCO OL from bama as we speak.

 

[volfan102455]

It shouldn't if he is as good as some make him out to be.

If Mullen had been hired or Kiffin or Gruden, most on here would be expecting great things the first year.

Fuggum.

 

[LittleVol]

6-6.

We lose to...

West Virginia
Florida
Georgia
Alabama
Auburn...

and one of either Mizzou or South Carolina.

We're just not that good and key injuries WILL happen. They always do.

West Virgina is to one dimensional going against a Pruitt coached defense.

Their defense is tricky but we should be able to run. We beat West Virgina....

Florida has NO QB..
And no depth.

Auburn, Bama, and UGA are sure losses. But the other 9 are winnable.

Butch is gone dude....

Where is this talent you speak of. A 4-8 team is not talented.

Coaching has everything to do with that. Scott Frost showed that from going 0-12 to 13-0 in 2 years. That's with recruiting classes ranked in the 50s or lower.
