‘23 LSU transfer OT Zalance Heard (Tennessee)

[BearCat204]

Any guesses on what his screen name is on here?

Probably the same mastermind behind Billy Costigan

Seems to be a weird trend right now of whenever you want to say something absurd/negative you simply put "AP said" or "AP hinted" in front of it without any actual link to a podcast, post, etc of AP's.

Almost as if all these "hints" and statements simply don't exist.

Also, AP said I'm the best poster on this board and the rest of you are trash unfit for Vandy's board.

I have it on good authority that AP said your main residence is the football forum and we should all avoid your comments as if the they have the ability to spread stupidity like COVID-19 circa March of 2020.

how do you feel about coaches farting on your couch?

CRG sits and farts where he wants and if he so happens to bless you by farting on your couch the only acceptable response is “Yessir CRG sir! May I have another!”

@MetalVolunteer and @Mrpeabody8888 so no more visits for Heard? He's in the 🛥? GBO!!

I’ll believe we’re getting this guy when Percy Lewis cancels his visit here and Wiltfong puts in the crystal ball for the good guys

Idk? I think this may be more of an issue of having a couple lost classes. When Pruitt was fired it was a dumpster fire, stink was still on the staff the first year Heupel was here. We didn’t bust through and become a contender for elite players esp olinemen till the year we made a run and got ranked 1 for a short time. I think 1)those Oline positions are probably the most sought after and heavily contentious recruitments 2)those guys usually have long standing relationships with the staffs recruiting them and 3)once signed most kids aren’t contributing till year 2 or more likely 3 after a few years in S&C.

I think AP possibly Hubbs also pointed out Abeln struggles at landing the TE position; I may entirely be attributing this to the wrong person also as there are so many I follow on it. Shortly after we land the #1 TE in the portal, now have a 4 star TE committed early in this class. Maybe just maybe the stink is starting to fade from the dumpster fire we’ve had for the last couple of decades moreso than CGE not being able to connect with kids?

Much of the fan base & local media seem to think Heupel walked into Tennessee 1998 when he was hired. He sure didn’t. No 5 or high 4 star OL is considering a program coming off 3 losing seasons in last 5 yrs & major NCAA violations pending.

believe the insiders know, issue is longer these things go, more they change.

Hope he commits soon.

For real. If someone doesn't commit in 3 days a new team is trending

I heard gruden's plane just landed with Heard on board.

If you can take both then I think they will.

Doing forget the coaching Merry Go Round. Prior to CJH, 4 non interim head coaches in 10 years. Yea that would be a place I want to play where coaches only last on average 2.5 years…

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it was someone like @MarcoVol or @EdEcEko77

I say that with all due respect...I think it's hilarious whenever someone buys it; they have no one to blame but themselves for believing just any ole thing they read on the internet, and not paying a bit of attention.

I don’t think that’s the case at all. Most fans don’t want to hear excuses. TN shouldn’t have issues recruiting elite talent, including linemen. I have confidence in Heup - time will tell.

There are examples of coaches coming into a school and recruiting well, including the portal. Ole Miss is tearing up and Lane hasn’t been there long.

Lane is not recruiting high school well. He’s turned to the portal for a lot.

Yeah, we have those fans like that guy who fail to see the forest for the trees. Kiffin didn’t have NCAA penalties pending either. Those were already behind Ole Miss before he got there.

 

[bpalmer28]

He sprinkles enough truth in with his normal BS that it makes you wonder lol

The kind of stuff Satan does. IJS.

True. I was referring to the portal. I still think recruiting high school is the way to go and fill certain spots with the portal. I’m confident in Heup and will take him over most other coaches.

I’m not a Kififn fan, just making a comment. I’m in the minority but thought it was a good thing when he left TN after 2009 season as he would’ve had us on probation. Just my $.02.

Probation? That’s like a slap on the wrist. I don’t mind him but he can’t seem to beat Bama

Comparing the first 3 years of each. And Heupel took over a much worse situation with the NCAA stuff and only 57 scholarship players in year 1.

I seriously doubt both would come

Thanks for the info.

I was referring to the portal -not overall high school recruiting. I agree that Heup took over a hornet’s nest. My point is I don’t think most fans are expecting miracles in recruiting. TN should be able to land an above avg lineman in the portal and Instill think they will.

Kiffin had like 10 million minor violations. I‘m not a Kiffin fan either. In fact when I hear his name mentioned, I have a tendency to go to Food City for more mustard.
