Pruitt vs CJH: Talent Evaluator

Herring has looked good as well. Pearce on Dline. Obviously Josephs has looked great. Who is the kid that had the partial punt block? A few different freshmen and transfers have looked good.

Damn dude really?

Squirrel. Several freshmen have seen significant time on defense esp Dline.

Really. Im just asking. Squirrel is someone. But as thin as weve been, would think more people would have made some noise- especially in the secondary

I also like Herring’s potential, but if he were as good as he flashed in the Akron game you have to think he’d of found his way onto the field against SEC opponents. Redshirts go out the window when you’re competing for a natty.

No one. They all stunk it up. CJH is a horrible talent evaluator and coach. I’m shocked the Vols won 5 games this year. The future is dim.

It. Is. A. Question. Understand? Pruitt was a joke. I like JP. But Pruitt had a good history of talent evaluating. Geezzz

It might be hard to judge last years class against Pruitt's classes, but that UCF team he left made it to their championship game and finished the regular season in the Top 25.

It’s really impossible to compare those skill sets. Especially based off how many freshmen played. There’s so many circumstances at play.
But I’ll play along…if I were going to try to compare their abilities to evaluate talent I’d give Pruitt a permanent F- for continuing to out JG out there. That was his qb for all 3 years he was coach. And people can say he didn’t recruit him and we had nobody else bla bla. But he didn’t have to play him. Him first year he had Cryst. Then he had Shrout, Maurer, and Bailey. But Pruitt was so dumb I really think he believed he’d get JG to just play it safe and get average play out of him…he could put talent opportunities talent?

Other than the names already listed, I'd add Jourdan Thomas, I believe #25.

I think he's the one that kept knocking the crap out of people on kickoff team.

Right now the only comparison I’m making is that Heupel is obviously better at putting his team in a position to win football games. Pruitt could recruit, but he wasn’t winning. It’s no judgment at all on Heupel, whether Heupel’s freshmen aren’t all over the field because he’s getting more out of Pruitt’s players than Pruitt was. Who knows, evaluation issues may be a thing but I can’t imagine making a call on that for at least another year or so.

You typically don’t want to play true freshman. That’s a good thing that not many played this year
