Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[MoCo_Vol]

Also...we're entering that sweet phase of "reload" instead of "rebuild"

A few guys that could be instant starters or contributors from the 2025 class imo.

David Sanders Jr. = best ranked OT in the nation, 5 star and the 7th rated overall player
Da'Saahn Brame = 6th highest rated TE, 4 star and a true big body at 6'6" and 235lbs

A few others might be in position as well...but those 2 I think because of their size, rating and position could be the most instant.

Be curious to see if being here for that game helps us land Isaiah Campbell.

On Josh Newbergs Show today AP said a 25 recruit reached out to the staff after the big win last night. AP didn’t say who but it was a position of need for TN in this class. Might be Petty since we lost Utu…?

If Vanderbilt can get 1 more victory they will be Bowl eligible. Clark Lea should be SEC Coach of the Year if this happens.

Hell he might catch Texas this Saturday. Pretty obvious after the Georgia game that they're 6-0 star was against soft competition. Michigan and OU both are now 4-3...

Bet the house it’s -21.5

Uh, RGIII needs to look at bit closer at that VolDefense in addition to DSamp and NicoLamaLama

TN is 3rd in the SEC in points allowed with 11.6
4th in passing yards allowed with 180
2nd in passing TDs allowed with 0.6
2nd in rushing yards allowed with 79.0
2nd in rushing TDs allowed with 2.2
2nd in total yards allowed with 259.0


The Natty team for reference gave up 13.3 points per game, 228.1 passing yards per game, 102.5 rushing yards per game, and 330.1 total yards per game.

good people are good

 

[Jackcrevol]

why do we seem to struggle recruiting big time running backs

 

[Vol423]

What BS. And it's not "computer-generated." The rules that generate the ranking are ESPN-made and ESPN "revised" as desired.

…and before this weekend’s games. It’s a week old.

 

[franklinpence]

Any injury updates? Tyre West good?

 

[Orange.]

That's not how it works. They don't alter the system to prop up alabama...

The system is flawed, as evidenced by this weeks rankings, but the tin hat theory has no wheels

The flaws are human generated. Not computer generated. That is what I said.

I didn't say a word about "propping up" or "Alabama." Don't who "tin hats" but it's not me.

 

[85SugarVol]

Ooooh what’s it say? Which recruits did we lock up?

 

[SpringBokVol]

Bet the house it’s -21.5

I tried. Was a glitch.

 

[JCVol00]

You would think that the fake injury situation would be an easy fix:

Delay of game penalty assessed against the team committing the fake penalty, or a timeout assessed against said team, and the player who faked the injury has to sit the remainder of the drive

 

[Jackcrevol]

jermod mccoy was a 2* on rivals. never know who's going to emerge. but we are reloading, yes!

4 star transfer.

3 star composite.

Is today April 1st?

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

I’ve been wrong and could be wrong and could be wrong about this…but I think Alabama fans are going to get a heavy wake up call over the next few seasons. They’ll still be good. 10-2, 9-3 kind of good. The dominance of the Saban era is over, though. DeBoer doesn’t own the SEC officiating office, so the rigged nature of Bama games will largely be over

Jermod is a dawg

 

[MoCo_Vol]

why do we seem to struggle recruiting big time running backs

What's your definition of big time running backs?

2024 Class = Peyton Lewis 13th RB in country and a 4 star (may actually be the fastest player on the team too...)
2022 Class = Dylan Sampson 24th RB in country and a 4 star

I'd say the main reason we don't see a high rated guy in the 25 class is it's a first year RB coach for us...but if Sims can land Hiter or Groce...(2 of the top 3 in that class at RB) LORD help the SEC!
