'22 GA EDGE Darren Agu (Vandy commit)

IQ score

Tim, be nice bro.

'Who are you oh Sir who can summon fire from a staff.'?

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

One thing I've come around to in recruiting is not putting any emotion to who getting signed and who is not getting signed. All that matters to me from here on out is development of the player and what they produce on the field. I've been way too disappointed in way too many good prospects and part of that disappointment is due to coaching staffs that couldn't develop.

One thing this staff has proven to me in a very short time is they can develop. Get kids in, don't really care who, and I am here to watch them grow into Vols.

I am with you for sure. i have no problem with using stars as a probability of success, but not as a ceiling. Therefore, I hope all of our low star guys match our higher star guys production. I love a good overachieving story. It may take longer but I got the time.

When I was measured for my tux for my sister's wedding I was 5'7" the summer before my senior year, and 6'1" the next summer. Grew 2 more inches in college. Unfortunately coaching could not overcome my 4.5 20 speed and 4 inch vertical leap. Some late bloomers are more blessed.

We got beat out by Vanderbilt. Let that sink in.

Oh good, something else for you to cry about, then.

kid wants an education. why is that so hard to understand?

 

[Jackcrevol]

More important, he's been committed to Clark Lea more many many more months, and he's likely sticking to someone for personal reasons.

No big deal, move along.

maybe his parents are teaching him about commitment.

Do you think that is the first... or last time that Vandy will get a player that a better program wanted?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

maybe his parents are teaching him about commitment.

I hope for his sake that his parents taught him how to enjoy getting his teeth kicked in on a weekly basis...maybe he doesn't care about winning, or in Vandy's case even having a small chance of winning. 🤷‍♂️

 

[JacketVol]

Too much negativity in life now. I’m having to ignore some decent posters who just tend to be crying about every little thing. Maybe they are having a hard time in life and just not Vols. Choose joy people.

Relationships matter in recruiting

Not new information

I thought it was only ever NIL deals that made the difference. @freedom fighter, what gives, dude?

Vandy or not, it was going to be tough to get this kid when he has a good, long standing relationship with Clark Lea. Plus he has a high school teammate committed to Vandy. Relationships kind of matter.

Bruh it’s bad when you don’t even look dope in the uniform.

 

[Jackcrevol]

cool.

This is one case where the player committed to a coach rather than a University. He seems to care less about the football team than the coach and getting a degree from Vanderbilt

 

[bignewt]

Whatever.

 

[UTMVol76]

Best of luck to him

 

[fifties fan]

Some players actually plan to be STUDENT athletes. Despite my bias, with only a few exceptions Vandy is the better academic choice. Next...

😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

His potential will be anchored at the bottom of the ocean at vandy

 

[m1al]

Pictures of the most fun he'll ever have a Vandy...

 

[JacketVol]

If not UT, should’ve stayed ND.

He's from England and has only played football for a couple of years. The school he's at is a very expensive private boarding school, so he's probably away from his family. He also has a teammate going to Vanderbilt. In his situation, relationships are probably even more important than usual. He also doesn't have the same outlook on Vanderbilt that most people do because he didn't grow up watching SEC football. It's a unique situation.

On VQ podcast they said he was all but committed to TN after our visit and kept making comments about his teammate being committed to vandy. Typical dropping hints without accusations that Vandy held the teammate scholarship over his head
