Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

I can see that.

I saw it too, but the unpolished version unfortunately.

I guess we can now see if Byron Young is who we hope he is.

I just saw one of the balls Milton threw Saturday pass my house.

Hooker gives off Dobbs vibes. I'm honestly surprised more people aren't onboard with that.

Honestly thought he would win the job. But he was brought in by the last staff right?

When Milton agreed to do that weekly show with Swain and VQ, I thought "Well there goes any chance those guys will be objective about Milton".

I fully expect them to carry water for him all week, especially if CJH says he is still the starter.

Well on his show this morning he said numerous times Hooker should start moving forward.

At least skim through the show before you say somebody is/will be carrying water

When is Gaston Moore eligible?

 

[TrippieRedd]

This was from a Michigan page. Thought it was funny.

With TTU this weekend, do you give Milton the first half to figure it out? Or do you go with Hooker and prepare for Florida. If Milton can figure out some touch, this offense is scary explosive.. Our opponents aren't watching our film and freaking out that we're rolling Hooker out there..

Milton definitely has two strikes on him, but if he can get out of his own way and figure it out, he's our best option.. If not, let Hooker take the reigns for UF and Missouri and if we're still struggling on offense start building for the future with HB..

I play all three, based on practice. Winner gets a half. If number two holds his own, he gets 1.5 quarters. If he isn’t great, he only gets a quarter

You live on the West Coast?

Byron Young is cleared. Let us rejoice in some good news for once.

I’m not even gonna say what my first thought was. I suffer from chronic BVS

 

[TrippieRedd]

You live on the West Coast?

I’m over in Taiwan

 

[butchna]

I'll say this, how much different would we view Hooker's appearance had Calloway not taken that screen to the house?

Or Doug Flutie’s without that Hail Mary?

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

No I’m over in Taiwan

Ahhh, makes sense. His next ball should be passing momentarily.

 

[VolGee4]

It was COVID.

Just like with Milton, Heupel is very secretive in these press conferences for no reason.

For no reason? BS. There is a clear reason.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Ahhh, makes sense. His next ball should be passing momentarily.

Thought it was a jet for a moment. It was leaving contrails in the sky

Our QB room is two guys that failed at other places and one guy that neither staff seened to like a whole lot in the beginning…. Hopefully, JH can get them productive.

Hooker failed at Virginia Tech? I think that's some revisionist history. He was successful, then got injured and the backup played well. After a few games when Hooker was healthy Fuente stuck with the backup or would pull him quickly.

That’s all Swain has said about the kid… I had my doubts at first when he transferred in but obviously I still hope something can strike him and somehow he can play good while here… but I highly doubt it. Swain keeps blaming everyone but Milton Lol. Blamed him alittle bit today but still you can see he’s still covering for him. Went on the radio and said he’d be the best QB in years here even after bowling green…

 

[SpringBokVol]

The cold hard truth is we beat ourselves on Saturday.

Clean it up and we win.

I hate losing but I really hate losing when you should have won. I’d rather just get beat by a better team.

I hate being the better team and losing.

But he said Hooker should start moving forward...did you not hear that?

If Milton starts against Florida I think it will be the same story as Pitt. Florida builds a lead and the offense fails to execute on plays that should score. Then Milton will get pulled and the gap will be too large to overcome.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Random, but does anyone else think these NIL deals will cause players to get lazy and not work as hard, sort of like players skipping out on bowl games for the combine

 

[drvenner]

Obligatory, "thanks, Jimmy."

It’s really sad… Almost to the point where you have to laugh. “Yep that’s vols football” ugh. I hope we can get a good product on the field sometime soon

I think for certain players that could be an unfortunate side effect. The fact of the matter is that the % of kids whose window to make money in college is far greater than those who will reach the NFL. I could see it becoming a distraction for kids who's goal of playing in the NFL starts to evaporate the closer they get to the end of their college career and making as much money as possible become a real priority before the spotlight is gone.

On the flip side, I think about a guy like Bryce Thompson, if his situation were repeated five years from now, he doesn't have to chance the NFL, he could've stayed and played another season, made as much NIL money as he could, all while trying to improve his draft status.

Must’ve been after I tuned out. Listened to quite a bit of it. He’s coming around alittle bit certainly alot more than he was before. I still hope whoever starts can show some sort of competency wether that be Milton, Hooker or whoever else.
