Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Weezer]

Spyre just landed us our best get of 2024 John Campbell Jr. LETS RIDE NICO ERA

I think Cooper is a bigger get, assuming he returns. He's proven he makes the OL go.

Austin and Matt, what position is our first commitment out of the portal?

Joly

I don't think any has publicly said anything but the rumor is all 4 appears to be coming back. Obviously it could change at any time.

With Coop and Spraggs not going through senior day it bodes well for us.

They know Nico taking us to the CFP’s.

It is possible the staff knew when they took the job that guys would get an extra year and they could use that to their advantage if they could patch together a good group. It is possible that they have a well-thought out plan and used early years to focus on other needs.

Perhaps we’ll now see OL recruiting pick up? If we land Seaton as is being hinted, that’s a pretty damn strong OL class.

I tend to believe there’s quite a bit of planning that goes into building a winning program in the SEC. Too much money involved for there not to be. Hell I’d imagine DW requires it out of his coaches.

Impossible! We have CONCERNS. Specially about Ellarbee.

- Realists prolly

Shocker.

Without looking it up, Bama start a RT this year. LSU started two Tackles last year. USCjr started a center and a guard (I think) last year as well. Let me verify real quick.

Yet they started a VANDY portal at LT the previous season…with 5 star big uglies piled up on the roster like cordwood.

 

[butchna]

Those LSU tackles weren't. Kentucky started a freshman last year too. He definitely wasn't lol.

And what’s Heupel’s record against those programs?

The same VANDY portal we offered too.

What does that have to do with other programs playing freshmen linemen?

If we’re beating them…why duplicate them?

I don't think we'll be seeing him again after Buck told him to stfu

 

[Orangeburst]

Jags lead the division. Someone needs to tell them they will not be in the playoffs.

edit: so late I gotta take laps

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Lol those guys (respectfully) are not good at SEC football. It’s a good thing - it may actual force wet Willie to play his young talent.

Concerning because of our depth not the talent

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

They are our worst position group. It’s not concerning. It’s time to kill the portal for upgrades.

Don’t disagree. But we are barebones back there as is

Tweet that at volquest

 

[PYSCHO]

Wasn’t a fan at first of Staes because little production, but being a thicker body guy, hope we use him like we did Fant.

ND knows about TE so maybe something there untapped yet

i want to see the plan that had Ollie Lane as backup center and Dayne Davis as one of our main backups in year 3. Recruiting improvement with that group does look very promising…. If we get Seaton…. watch out.

You think there was a conceivable YEAR 3 plan when they took over this mess? 2021 class was whomever they could get to sign-up. Portal was new and heavily utilized. Allz I know is that the possibility of Lane and Davis contributing ANYTHING was far fetched…hell Mays and Spraggins weren’t considered SEC level by many of our posters.

[volbeast33]

A segment of sports fans are 100 percent convinced that melanin count equates to athleticism or a lack thereof. They aren’t being ironic at all when they use phrases like sneaky athletic or high iq player. This despite ya know science.

What would the science say in this instance?

 

[volbeast33]

Maybe they did give him a chance in practice and he wasn’t good enough to earn PT

He started a Bowl game…. it looks like he had his chance.

I think we'll look for some help from the portal. We don't need much. Maybe a few veterans. What we really need is for our young guys to be ready to play.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Is there any hope in the Tyler Baron pipe dream that AP hinted at?

-AP

That’s crazy! Dude starts here and is productive. Garner has developed him into a NFL late rounder. Why would you want to leave that?
