Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[BigOrange15]

Jalen Hurts is a 6’2” 220lb elite level athlete. Runs 4.5, benches 400, squats 500, with a 10 ft broad jump.

He can run. He can pass. He can score.
Was the SEC Offensive Player of the Year.

Seems like he would be a pretty nice WEAPON to have at our disposal.

Exactly. If dude wants to come here that badly, you 100% take him and find something for him to do. Silly to think otherwise imo.

I would just like to remind everyone that the game week press conference is today and Vols by 13 WGWTFA FATTLDI

Good Lord, the FF is nuts. Got a WV poster acting like their team is Bama on steroids. That just brought out the teenager in most of them and it's like a pack of dogs on a 3 legged cat.

I'm ready for the talk and speculation to be over.

How hard is it to play QB at Bama right now? They put a true freshman in at halftime and throttled the SEC champion. Stop overrating Hurts when you’ll turn on him for not being able to pass(Dobbs looks like Peyton next to him passing). He’s not a good passer at all and won’t have what he had at Bama to mask his shortcomings. If it’s not an O-lineman, D-lineman or LB then leave it in T-town. Team will be fine without all of these transfers. Recruit and build this thing right.

Fine with him at another position, but if he was open to that, he wouldn’t leave Bama (theoretically)

Dana: Crap you're not Butch Jones.

Pruitt: Man up and shave that hideous noggin.

Dana: Yes sir right away!

Pruitt: Just out of curiosity what is your middle name? Cause' damn son!

Dana: Ambrosia.

Pruitt: Dana it is.

This . I also like the side benefit of pissing lil Nicki off again.

If JG has a better year than hurts ever did he would would be putting up:

25 total TDs (17p/8r) with right at 3000 total yards

Or

36 total TDs ( 23p/13r) with 3700+ total yards.

...you really think that’s possible?

I don't see why JG can't get those numbers in one of the next 3 seasons.

Welcome back brother. I look forward to many a heated arguments with you.

He’s already a junior. If he participates in more than four games, he’ll have one year.

I think he is on pace to graduate tho. So ideally he could get two more years for grad transfer because one would act like a senior year and another to be a legit grad year.

Not 100% tho

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

In a very nonchalant way I would say almost as an aside not even really looking at him:

"You know Saban's had a really incredible run at Alabama. I figure after he leaves the TN-AL series goes back to TN winning 10 out of 12 like it was just before he got there. That'll last for about a decade or so and then the series'll probably flip again."

At that moment I'd want to excuse myself (very proper-like) to go to the restroom or something, just anything to leave him hanging so he could think about that for a few minutes. When I got back from the restroom I'd come walking up while talking on my phone, "sorry, family emergency, gotta run." Hand him some money and say, "can you take care of the check? Great. Appreciate it." Then leave.

Sounds like a plan...I will just add, go ahead and take the rental car, let em Uber back to the hotel.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

I'm in the camp that thinks if Kiffin gets a P5 job this year, say LSU maybe, Hurts goes with Kiffin. If Stidham wasn't a junior this year I could see Hurts with Malzahn next year. I just hope he doesn't end up at Florida.

I made this as my bold prediction. Coach O will be fired ater finishing 7-5/6-6. Kiffin will be Aleva's first call. This will be followed in 2yrs by Saban's retirement...after losing to Jimbo and Kiffin in successive years.

Only 4 years of playing eligibility though. Doesn’t matter if it’s grad or undergrad. If he participates in more than four games this year, he would have 2 more years, but only able to play one of them. Everyone gets 5 years to play 4.

Gotcha.

If he's successful here, which I'm confident he will be, Pruitt will be your next head coach at Alabama IMO.

Always a possibility. Of course, Dabo has already enjoyed success at Clemson so may be an even greater possibility.

Yeah he would have to be immensely successful here, but its possible. I'm sure that's his dream job

The WV dude must be vacationing, I don't think they have internet there yet. Still using strings and cans to communicate.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

So what time is the presser today?

Wonder if we’ll get a depth char

They're already parked at the stadium in Charlotte stealing wifi on their new laptop.
