Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

You got a big bottle nose bro

Somebody fill me in on the backstory with Sapp and Pruitt. I saw some references in a thread about his leaving but was unaware otherwise. Not saying it was a big deal just curious.

Sapp refused to go into a game, Pruitt said leave then aight. He motioned for his mom from the stands and they both head to tunnel. Pruitt says to media “yea I told him to leave” and also backed Sapp up saying he’s been a team player and he had a bad moment.

The NFL Draft Advisory Board has been around more than 20 years

Since 94. But it wasn’t rampantly available and still is limited to 5 per team. Also they simplified the evaluations to 1st 2nd or Neither grades since 2014. It’s a useful informative process now...wasn’t “not that long ago”.

Random thought of the wee hours

Kerwin Bell - HC @ Valdosta State
Plays for the championship tomorrow...

His team is undefeated and has top ranked offense

Spurrier Protoge - runs spread and air raid combo offense.

Coached previously at Jacksonville St and had potent offenses prior.

Could Google Cut and Chief when they were hired. Kids that invented it hadn’t graduated high school.

I understand the desire for a high profile hire, but just because you don't know who a coach is doesn't mean they aren't talented. No coach got there first job as a D-I coordinator or head coach.

I thought the stay puft marshmallow man said we had our guy? I'm guessing he's wrong again? I think it's just time to admit that nobody knows anything about this search.

 

[SugarCC]

It’s just a projection. If they’re not worthy it ends up being that way.

Do you think it should expand to 8, b?

 

[JacketVol]

Did @Sleegro die? Posted all the time then never again after several post 9-22. Did the Florida game kill him?

Where have you been

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Quarte Sapp declaring for the draft.

In the recent tragic history of Vols declaring too early... this ranks top 5.

Darrington Sentimore
Dennis Rogan
Marquez North
K-Mac

All have a seat at the table too

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Pruitt trying to get ahead on the OC hire, but Big Recruiting Weekend comes up fast...

T'is odd.
Usually you see people slow down on posting or get in some heated debates. He was posting all the time, happy-go-lucky and then just gone.

Lost sleegro and have a couple of rednecks posting more often in this forum.
We got screwed.

Wish we had a basketball game at home for this recruiting weekend

I just hope it stays at 8. NCAA doesn’t tend to stop when it works. 6 would be better with the top two seeds getting byes.

Absolutely on all this.
Should be a chance for all P5 champs barring obvious ooc losses and at least 1-
A. - Team that slipped early on but definitely became legit contenders after. (Could have been injuries, new system, whatever)

Or

B- Team with a lack of SOS (for multiple reasons.)
But also agree with a guarantee on not expanding it indefinitely. The regular season should mean something but there has to be a balance.
Jmo but it's the same I've had since the playoff was still only an idea.

To be fair, Debord turned out just fine.

McKenzie got drafted, you realize that, right?

This, and all the students have left for Christmas break. Must be a ghost town there.

More the players helped a bad situation, than Debord a good play caller.

Lots of he said she said about this


Fwiw Sapp said he didn't refuse to go into the game and told us on twitter.

I know someone who is about three degrees separated from Sapp. It appeared to me a disagreement happened on the sideline between Sapp and maybe a coach, and Pruitt either didn’t get the exact story or couldn’t deal with it at the time as head coach. I think Sapp will say that he never refused to go back in the game. Nothing really came out the following week, so it seemed that Pruitt got the true story and tried to keep it internal. I think some other players may have backed Sapp up as well. Don’t think we will ever know.
