'24 DC OT Jordan Seaton (Future Portal Entry)

[butchna]

There is a 0% chance anyone on staff told VQ guys this.

Thank you! When you got nothing to report? Speculate or make it up. “May” covers a lot of wiggle room.

OL is all Pruitt’s guys or portal. Still early but after three recruiting classes depth chart concerning on staffs ability to bring in OLM difference makers.

You really counting that 2021 patch job as a RECRUITING CLASS? What’s being undersold is what this staff can sell without the NCAA uncertainty hanging like a cloud.

I dunno. JUCO OL Are a crap shoot. Don’t recall his name but we signed the number 1JUCO OL back in the Dooley or Jones days and he was a complete bust.

Had Orlando Brown committed on signing day too and flipped to OU. Turned into a 1st rounder. It’s just the nature of the beast.

Got spooked that he wouldn’t qualify academically…something about a high school math requisite. It was weird. I console myself that Mahoney would’ve most likely wasted his potential and development anyway.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Probably talking about some of the older guys like Lampley, Davis, heck maybe even Crawford

Those guys are all seniors. They’re moving on anyway.

Tennessee didn’t sign Brown because he didn’t have a qualifying ACT score, was supposed to retake it, but never did. Then he magically got into Oklahoma.

What’s it matter if they recruited them? You do realize that recruiting is always a gamble right? You can make all the evaluations you want. But once you get a guy here he has to have the want and the attitude to succeed. Maybe some of those guys just don’t have it. You can say they are doing it for clicks but VQ is very informative.

VQ is informative but they also don’t get clicks without drama
They were all about number 1 being a stud this year and usually name a couple guys a year that they say are can’t miss and we never hear about them
Most these guys VQ is saying suck or heard suck are also 1st and 2nd year guys at a position that doesn’t usually show much unless your a 5 star stud until year 3
The guys at VQ aren’t on a coaching staff for a reason, if they were great talent evaluators they would be on a staff

VQ lost me when they put up articles behind a paywall that come out 2 hours later from many sources for free

I just posted about this. They LOVE for there to be drama!

 

[VolGee4]

Not Lang or Umarov. Both show promise. Not Nichols, either, as he's seen as a guy who is going to be good. Bussell is just a true freshman. I think Clipper, Grant, Johnson, and Reddick need to show something in practice or this offseason.

There has been another source on the board who insinuated that the staff was hoping for Nichols to contribute this year but just hasn't happened. He is apparently a great kid, who also has interests other than football.

They all have another year of eligibility. Except Crawford, idk about him for sure, but the other two do still have a year left

 

[LouderVol]

he has only visited us unofficially. we can get him back.

 

[Weezer]

Wonder what it is he's looking for? Money? Coaching? A combination? He'd be a great get, but not feeling strongly that we'll be the pick.

Feel pretty good here honestly. It’s going to come down to NIL. I mean honestly put yourself in his shoes. Any of those programs can get him to the next level if he puts in the work. I think he gets more nil closer to home and that money goes further here than it does on the west coast.

Think it’s us or Bama in the end but I have no inside info.

Crawford is done. The other 2 can use a Covid year, but yes, I expect them to move on.

Do you ever feel confident when it comes to recruiting??

Back when the administration was run by incompetent people. Glad everyone has the same vision top to bottom now

 

[Weezer]

Do you ever feel confident when it comes to recruiting??

Sometimes. It depends on the recruit. There were a few I felt confident on that went elsewhere. Maybe this will be the opposite.

 

[HalfullVol]

Mauigoa vibes here are skrong.

 

[Helton1]

Mauigoa vibes here are skrong.

Why exactly?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Mauigoa vibes here are skrong.

Mauigoa just wanted money.

We may not land him but based on the recent comments, he genuinely seems to love the staff and future players.

 

[RikidyBones]

Mauigoa vibes here are skrong.

Mauigoa is probably down bad right now. Sucks to suck

 

[GVol1966]

Me either
I think their building drama for clicks
They recruited most the guys they have

Doesn’t mean they have all turned out as expected

 

[HalfullVol]

Why exactly?

Shouldn’t have to explain

Take that as u will

 

[csprig9]

Doesn’t mean they have all turned out as expected

You can say that again
The VQ guys who aren’t coaches or talent evaluators say they suck so it must be true
Just like when they say 2-3 guys every year are studs and we never hear from them

VQ are drama queens when times are slow
