Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Boom?

Boom worthy imo

He lead our best unit in 2024 and largely was the catalyst for our making a playoff. It is better than meh.

People have unrealistic expectations…. This was our best defense in years.

 

[SoilVol]

The amount of heads exploding from the posters who hate Banks is sufficient boomage for the Banks extension.

Our safties were terrible. Lol

If you go to an auction and the bidding gets too high on the thing you’re interested in so you pass did you “miss out” on it? Recruiting now feels like it’s about whether it’s worth the price rather than convincing someone to come to your school.

As long as you don't want to win anything of importance.

Bringing in a new defensive staff definitely wouldn’t have caused that to happen and probably brings an extra loss

Lol. No

 

[Smokey123]

Lol. No

Easily. Hiring new staff staff in pivotal years never works out

This is the same clown that thinks Barnes is a terrible coach.

OK, listening to the 'Hooker' this morning regarding losing another highly valued portal target on the OL to Oregon. We also lost the one to LSU. Concerns about the portal? Could be Heupel being smart about choosing where the money is spent, or maybe just not enough money. I know we've discussed our NIL a lot.

How do we lose something we never had?

It would be one thing if we led for them or they were committed at some point, but that isn’t the case. They were just guys we were interested in.

early 90's to early 2000's UGA was "decent" and often ranked........just odd it never lined up.

Georgia went to Final Four the year after Wilkins went pro. The team was led by Terry Fair and Vern Fleming at PG...Hugh Durham's best coaching job at Georgia..

 

[MockingVol]

Also, the people that are meh on Banks/ wish we made a new hire for D-Coord are joking, right? Please tell me it’s sarcasm and not them being that pants on head stupid.

 

[VolNash17]

Banks is your average coach, his position group he coaches is awful. Rush 4 banks. Is what it is. Hopefully see some offensive changes. Bring in an actual OC and good OL coach that can secure talent. Receivers have also been awful

 

[Adam Sandler]

Lol. Made me think of this:

Dang it how’d I miss that opportunity

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Lmao at people griping because we are keeping Banks. No6 defense in the nation and yall complaining.

Brothers and sisters, I am asking that you please take a little time out of your day to think of my daughter's good friend Ellie. She's been friends with her since they were 3 and they are 20 now. Ellie was recently diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma and her PET scan revealed it is already at Stage 4 and has spread to her spine, arm and leg. This young lady has been to my home many times and my daughter has also been to hers. Her family are great people and this is devastating and heartbreaking for all of us. Anything positive you can send will be mightily appreciated. She is at St. Judes, so we know she will get the best care possible. Thank you.

So sorry to hear this.

St. Jude’s is a great place for her. They do miracle work.

Improved every season and his side of the ball just carried us to the playoff.

There’s no pleasing some.

We ranked SIXTH in the country in total defense this year.

"Average" is not even close to what Banks is/was.

I get frustrated with the calls sometimes, but it is hard to disagree with how much we have improved since he arrived.

Good analogy. We never know the prices either. We do overpay though so that kind of sucks too. We do need better recruiting IMO.

Grass is greener is a strong calling. Same effect with players.

And there was little help from the offensive performances either.

Back when we were a cellar dweller with no hope in sight, I always wondered if people would still piss and moan endlessly if we started winning 10+ games again. Now I know.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Sorry, been busy sending dam emails.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Our safties were terrible. Lol

Will Brooks was in a tie for 2nd most INTs in SEC with 4. Lead the SEC in INT return yards with 152, tied for 2nd in SEC in INT TDs with 1

2nd on team in total tackles with 59, 3rd on team with pass deflections at 5 and his 4 TFLs were highest of any secondary player on the team as well.

SEC stat rankings as a team we finished the year 5th in completion % given up 58.8%, 5th in completions given up a game with 17.2, 5th in passing yards given up per game with 189.3, tied for 2nd fewest passing TDs given up a game at 0.8

And only 3 teams threw for over 250 yards against us on the season, (all 3 were losses too) Arkansas with 297, Ohio State with 317, Georgia with 347 all 3 games were all true road games as well.

I'm not sure what your definition of terrible is, but it's wrong.

Do you think he would still be 6th without RG?…if your answer is no then you now understand our point.
