Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

I like Kirk. Dude is always supportive of us

It's baffling how UT seems to be every SECE team's hated rival. SCAR, UK, Vandy, Mizzou seem cordial with UGA and FL, but hate us with a fiery passion. Apparently, they consider us a nothing program that should be an auto-win. I could understand it if they were all 8, but...

Makes sense in a way. We are the name program they feel like they can beat. So they make us their super bowl and shiz on us if they beat us 2 straight years because it makes them feel so mighty. No need for them to acknowledge it was our worst time in program history. Decade of dysfunction and all.

Soon they will stop caring so much about us because we will be outside of their grasp. Maybe a class or 2 from that, but it's coming. Can't wait to stop hangin with the cellar dwellers.

Do like bball and just have a reg season champ. That is 1 option.

2nd option, and one which I love, is making the conference championship a part of the playoff. So Division 1a plays division 2b and 2a plays 1b. Then winners play for the championship. 4 superconference champs play down to 1. G5s have their own playoff or join one of the 4 superconferences.

Option 3 is having 8 conferences. Maybe add the aac, mwc, and 1 other. Conference champs play out an 8 team playoff.

I hope to be SEC 2 and in under the current rules before long (even before we win the SEC). All plans I see seem to hurt us.

Tatum looked like a tight end when he arrived, and he looked like a tight end when he left. Just doesn't have the tools to compete in this league. Good luck to him.

 

[Catbone]

Marcus Tatum is in the transfer portal.

Thank God

 

[Devo182]

His position group got better when he left - Wide Receivers.

His new group got worse when he arrived - Running Backs.

Has he recruited well?

Now. You tell me what you think he has done well.

Thought WRs did well last year. This year the WRs were SRs under the veteran Chaney, not newbie Helton, offense.

Agree RBs didn't improve, may have regressed given better blocking and all.

There was that one time he wasn’t. Ripped on us pretty good.

Yeah I think since then he's learned his lesson lol

The wrath of Voltwitter came down on him. Don’t think he wanted anymore of that. Fairly sure he mentioned us being right about it recently too. So he’s cool again.

 

[HankHill]

Who is "they"? Not sure what your point is. That is a huge gap. Like said, bigger than us and UK.

Michigan has good players. OSU has elite players. Big difference. And Harbaugh has done very well outside of OSU. People like Finebaum acting like he's been terrible are setting ridiculous bars. They may not be late 90s Michigan, but if we were going 9-3 and 10-2 yearly, people would be singing our coach's praises.

I agree about that. Michigan people think their program is wayyyyyy better than it is. He’s done fine.

After this past decade of Tennessee football I'm not sure I'll get back to the point to where I'm complaining about 9 and 10 win seasons. Unless your coach is Nick Saban it's hard to ask for much more.

Going to call my shot now, they'll hire Dan Mullen. They need someone to fix Cam, Mullen is an excellent QB developer and has expressed interest in the NFL in the past. Even MMQB in SI mentioned today he'd be a potentially hot candidate this cycle.

Oh, and guess who also recruited Cam to Florida? Mullen.

He would fail in astounding ways in the NFL

Who was the qb prospect Chaney was so fired up about earlier in the season? Think he was from Texas or ended up committing to a Texas school.

The “fired up” part might’ve been more rumor than reality. Since coaches can’t comment on unsigned prospects. Haynes King A&M commit.

 

[Jackcrevol]

bet it grows up to he Snoke. credit my nerd friend for that one.

 

[JCP201]

The playoff committee was not kind too Bama (Number 12)

That’s really all anyone can ask for. If you’re not happy with 10 wins then you have some personal issues.

That and he moved to Franklin.

How is SC holding onto their commits? They've got a dang 5 star RB now. How are they out recruiting us?

Hearing Bobo on the way. As soon as he's fired at CSU.

May it always be thus and worse

If YAC leaves to FSU there’s no way we don’t call McClendon. Worked with Pruitt and Friend before. Great recruiter.

Hasn’t he been both WR’s and RB’s coach? Heard about his recruiting rep. Which RB’s are on his ledger?

The number of players they had on 4th & 4
