Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Batman1948]

Hey fellow VN golf lovers...how would you like to be Russell Henley?...throw in the round of your life, shooting a 9 under 61 while making making 207 feet of putts...and you look around and you only got a 2 shot lead on Scottie ...that dude is just a freaking machine whether he wins or loses in Atlanta.

I really hope he is able to sustain this level of play over 6-7 years...I love watching the guy, no matter what's NOT working, he finds something that does and throws a good score up....totally impressive man.

If he made over 200 feet of putts today, he probably shot his wad cause that doesn't happen too often

If this offense is still capable of getting guys open like it did during Hooker then Aguilar will light it up. If defenses have started figuring us out then it may be a struggle. This offense is designed to make qbs better than they are individually. Nico and Joe both struggled hitting open guys down the field

They have made adjustments that make the reads longer and more difficult...which Joe and Nico were absolutely garbage at, so it made it seem "figured out"...go watch for yourself and really see what was going on...there were guys still running wide open all the freaking time...and half the time the right guys were seen running open downfiekd, both Joe and Nico missed them badly at a extremely high rate...and compounding THAT problem were the times when open WRs dropped the passes that did get thrown to them correctly..

It is extremely frustrating to watch...but imo the "figured out" thing is mostly bull.

Plus...any time you play a extremely talented and well coached defense, it is natural that open plays become harder to draw up, and harder to execute. You are hardly ever going to score big on defenses like that unless you break their will early and they quit, or just get completely discombobulated.

Sounds like a Georgia fan. And they will make other excuses when he catches a TD against Syracuse and has a good season. Dude will be very good.

A friend of mine with connections to our staff told me that by the way

 

[VawlIn]

Mcconkey was good. Not very good or elite in any category. He doesnt come close to aj greene, julio, fitzgerald, crabtree of the college football world etc… Bowers was a te.

Ladd is better than any receiver we’ve had since the adoption of the internet

 

[VawlIn]

How can a guy who hasn’t played yet look slow? Shouldn’t we at least see how he looks after a few college games?

His HS film didn’t impress me at all. Jackson stands out 10 fold in comparison to what’s on his highlights

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

soon, hopefully

No way. Long way to go on this one.

Did Ladd win the Bilitnekoff?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I don't give a green runny about Nike...they undervalued us badly and treated us like garbage leftovers compared to their big dogs...I love that Adidas made us their #1 school and is kissing our butt.

Also...I do not understand the stupid infatuation the follower herd has with Nike ...I never have and never will.

We've got creative control and I think we have proven to have extremely talented creative people...I will wear my Adidas gear proudly.

Down this rabbit hole years ago

The way he explains how photons accumulate in a tree and are released in the chemical reaction of fire

I remember him explaining the odd symmetries of a mirror

It's all about probability amplitudes at the end of the day

As brilliant as he was in his profession...they letter he wrote to his deceased wife is one of the most beautiful and moving things I have ever read.

 

[VawlIn]

history indicates that you guys should stop feeding the most obvious troll this forum has had in some time

Not a troll. Just willing to call out the obvious. Granted the opportunities haven’t presented themselves but twice I think, but both times it was at positions of need with Igbinosun and Ja’Keem Jackson and we missed both times

He is good. Win or lose he makes people watch.

No, but he is getting paid more and playing better in the league than Hyatt is. Also let’s just be honest with ourselves, Marvin Harrison Jr was the best receiver in college football that year, and it really wasn’t close. Their numbers were just too close together for Hyatt not to win it after putting up a historical game against Bama. Hyatt wasn’t the best receiver in college football that season though. Hell I remember seeing people on here entertain the idea that Squirrel would end up as the better receiver because he had more wiggle and Hyatt was a 1 trick pony for the most part

 

[Vol423]

Let’s say our 3 permanents are Vandy, UK, and Bama. Going off of the teams we haven’t seen the past two years, do we get 6 of the below next year?

Auburn
South Carolina
Texas
LSU
Texas A&M
Ole Miss
Mizzou

Lose Auburn and give us the others. Those are teams whose asses I'd love to kick.

 

[jave36]

Bet the Northwestern AD’s phone is ringing off the hook with sec teams looking to schedule

All those new big 12 teams too.

 

[Devo182]

Someone posted earlier that Keys would give us 3 of the top 10 WRs.

Are they including ATHs or something? Haven't followed recruiting closely enough to know up from down (because we're actually good again!).

Thanks,

Rofl I resemble that remark it’s ok. Not many things in the world nerdier than reading LotR.

Except maybe The Silmarillion? That’s advanced nerdiness. It’s essentially a fictional history book. I read it once every few years.

The Silmarrillion is actually my favorite book...I love those stories...so brutally dark and sad, yet they also manage to beautifully illuminating and uplifting.

I think those stories are Tolkiens greatest work.

 

[VawlIn]

Anquan Boldon ran 4.62 at the combine.
He was 6’1” 222 lbs.

And he was a great NFL WR.

Travis has strong hands. Great jumper. Runs hard after the catch. He’s very physical. He’s probably 4.55? But he’s very agile for his size.

Not saying he won’t be a good player for us. I just prefer Jackson out of the two because Smith looks slow to me and what speed he does have is because of his strides, and long stride receivers typically don’t get in and out of their breaks as quickly

I don't want to speak ill of the extremely elderly, but...

Spoiler: F*** **** ***** ** *** ****

Oh you sick, sick moran

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What are you 12? Good lord... and coming here to vent makes it seem like you're also upset about it.

Dude is in a dark place and you see that but then go push rather than give him a chance to get whatever it is off his chest? You're the problem.

dude he works with sounds like a jackass baby whiner to me.

Stupid. Just going to wreck ourselves. Will be no adjustment to SoS. Still need 10-2 to make the playoffs, while Indiana goes 11-1 playing the school for the deaf.

Meanwhile smaller schools will die off.

But oh that sweet sweet $$$

 

[Devo182]

Also...there's no point in playing marquee OOC games anymore....so I don't blame any SEC team for canceling other series. It's gonna be cupcake city.
