Recruiting Football Talk VII

[engineerVOL]

Auburn now with TWO 5* WR's... and NO QB to throw to them worth a flip... No reason in the world we shouldn't end up with at least ONE more high tier WR from the portal with Nico on deck... No reason. Again, top WR's should be flocking to this offense. Get it done Heup, or no excuses.

Freeze rarely runs the ball from what I remember at OM. Lots of action for WRs in that offense.

Is recruiting good? Yes, is it competing with GA, AL good? Not yet. All JMO.

Tennessee’s recruiting seems to be in-line with results from the past two or so decades (with a few clear outliers) which leads me to conclude this is kind of what we should expect as fans.

That’s not a negative statement. It appears to me at least to simply be a fact.

We can still make noise with this kind of talent and I’m excited to watch!

Unc shooting 13% from 3 as opposed to 43% vs us.

Yeah, that game was a mixture of them having a fluke shooting performance and us getting over the Hawaii hangover.

Nice troll...

I long for the day they’re back to crying on the radio.

Too bad McAfee may not be back next season on Gameday....

Probably put Dan Mullen in his spot

Over Texas would be criminal.

Texas went into Tuscaloosa and won by double digits. Bama cannot pass them. The only reason they passed us last year was because we won on last play and were smoked by SC. They needed Texas to lose. And instead get a Texas blowout and conference winner.

AP has said the last 2 years he thought our recruiting would be better.

The NCAA issue really impacted recruiting the ‘22 & ‘23 classes.

Texas in over FSU would be great.

These white band girls from OSU and Texas trying to dance to Nelly

Nelly sucks

Coach should’ve known how to deal with fans discontented with mediocrity as that was why he was finally booted. He knew all about mediocrity at UT.

In Majors last 4 seasons, the team finished ranked inside the top 15 all four seasons. Finished inside the top 10 twice. Suggesting he was mediocre is completely ridiculous. He made enemies with the wrong people and Fulmer, for all the good things he did at Tennessee, backstabbed Johnny.

Tennessee was in a much worse spot when Heupel took the job than when Johnny did, and the program at the end of Heup’s third season is miles ahead of where were after Majors third season. I’m as disappointed as anyone that we blew a gasket at Florida and that we were a no show at Mizzou, but we are still ahead of schedule and are bringing in a recruiting class filled with blue chip recruits.

Mehlen???

Just kidding about Mullen...

If you believe in SEC conspiracies, UGA would be easy money.

Given last night and this afternoon, UGA is the SEC's only chance to put a team in the playoffs.

Yes, I think UGA wins and if it is close I would almost guarantee officials inserting themselves.

 

[wmcovol]

Never been to VQ, but the worst their is Nash with the absurd questions in the mail bag every week

VQ isn’t for me. Idiots on General Quarters.

Eeeh ever who bet Toledo is fixing to take it on the chin....

Down by 9 with 1:40 left...

Unc shooting 13% from 3 as opposed to 43% vs us.

A tale as old as time

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Obviously no worries here. I mean this is the Sports Illustrated man of the year!

Freeze runs what his team is set up to do. Look at auburn this year. Ran right down bama and uga’s throat

 

[mr.checkerboards]

NVM. It's fake.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Good news with Wisconsin. Bad news with UNC. Losing to FSU, who is awful, by 12 in the second half.

Well, that escalated quickly UNC up 11 after 19-0 run.

 

[RikidyBones]

Guys. I got UNC ML at +110 lmao.

Don’t give a rat’s a$$ how good Texas is this year, they will always be UTjr to me..I’ll never forget our student section at the UT bball game chanting that..lol

Recruiting at this level will get you a consistent 8-4 to 10-2 type years. Given the conference we're in, I doubt any championships will be played for. If that's what we can expect and should be happy with, I don't think I'll be more than a casual fan. I sure hope coach Heupel doesn't think that way. He stated he doesn't. I take him at his word.
