Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXII

Here we go

I wonder if they'd consider moving JJ to safety and Evan Berry to WR. Could be best for all involved.

How bout JJ to safety and North, PW, Croom, Perry, George, Henderson, and Johnson to WR. There was a bodies problem this year.

 

[VolGee4]

I agree that if those 2 stay our defense will be nasty

That being said I do think b Randolph will be a big loss. Very underrated player imo

I appreciate what Randolph has done for our program through some rough times. That said, he is still slow and has had some rough games this year. I think we take a jump in athleticism.

 

[VolGee4]

So, should they move him back to RT now?

Sorry, but I still have a hard time with the coaching stubbornness from last season.

I think they played their best 5 even if it meant Thomas was out of position. He is clearly one of the best OL on our team.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Get adequate safety play and it should be #1

With Nigel Warrior trending our way, we might have the safety position fixed.

 

[PowerOrange]

Evan Berry needs to be on the field offense or defense. I think he would an instant playmaker on offense.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Why? North has missed most of the season because Dobbs likes to get his back destroyed with bad passes. He isn't out because of the leg injury that guy reported. He is out because he got hit in back like he did last year

You sure about that?

I actually thought he was more of a liability. He doesn't have the athleticism of a Stephen Griffin and Nigel Warrior nor does he have TK's instincts.

I think Stephen Griffin and Nigel Warrior will be an upgrade.

 

[Catbone]

You sure about that?

Wouldn't surprise me

 

[PowerOrange]

He looked a lot better the second half of the season. Just as much a part of the defense improving as Martin at corner.

But the other safeties definitely have higher ceilings.

EDIT: Foreman, too.

You're spoiling the narrative.

 

[UTProf]

So is Blair sticking around for another season?

 

[Wickman]

SIAP, Coleman Thomas named SEC Offensive Lineman of the week.

Remember that time Sean Jean said he wasn't good?

"When I watch Indiana and Vanderbilt practice back to back, my faith in humanity is restored. It's like what Einstein said 'when I see an adult ride a bicycle, I am excited for the future' "

Other guy: So you're saying being here has restored your faith in humanity?

"Yes. You were listening ... and did you know that Hawaii is one of four states that doesn't allow billboards so we can't use espn billboards for this. You know. Billboards"
- Bill Walton during Maui invitational just now

He also just called the city of Newark awesome. I love this guy as he is consistently high

GOAT announcer and love the fact that he has been rocking the shades :shades: inside calling a basketball game.

I agree with this, but they are also incredibly stubborn. Exhibit A: See Jumper, Colton.

I've never heard so many cuss words strung together at once.

Is it just me or does it sound incredibly stupid to buyout Les Miles for $17 million only to try and hire Jimbo fisher? Fisher is overrated. he won with an incredible stable of talent and a franchise QB. They have been less than impressive this year with alotnof those guys gone pro. What does Jimbo bring that is so much better than Les?

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Check out this stat....

Kamara has only had 2 games where he has had 7 or more carries. Bowling Green and North Texas.

Severely underutilized.

LSU is apparently drunk on corndogs and wants to drop a load of cash for a lateral move. I say let them. Hell I'll chip in some mustard.

 

[SergeantVol]

According to my LSU buddy, ever coach wants to come to LSU. It is the best job in the country.

The consensus seems to be that LSU better have a high level coach already committed, or they could be making a mistake.

I agree. No matter who they bring in they're not going to beat Saban on a consistent basis.

Just thinking out loud- how many receptions does he have compared to Hurd? After a few games, they realized he could also hurt on swing passes and rubs and starting putting him in the open field. Not all about straight rushes.

I look for him to have a huge season next year with a better line. For all those opining for smash mouth i formation football name me a team with a more physical running attack? We are as old school smash mouth as a read option team you will ever find.

Proof

outrushed Bama at their house
put up more rushing on mizzou than anybody and did it in about as cold
and bloody way as a sledgehammer
Dobbs had 1 million against UF


we are predictable
methodical
and yet still brutal
