Recruiting Football Talk VII

[KPT_VFL]

We gonna have like 6 DBs left? Slaughter, Turnage, Burrell, Mccollough, Hadden, Luttrell, Dee, Walker all going to be gone. With Rucker rumored plus Jeudy Lally and MacDonald also in limbo. Roster has me a bit worried in a few places. Heup better have some good development happening behind scenes.

This is what concerns me. While I agree our DBs have been suspect you have to at least have some on the roster… at this rate it doesn’t seem we are going to fill the ones who are leavings roster spot…

 

[LotteryPick]

Our portal haul is going to be unimpressive isn’t it?

They don't even know who is staying or leaving yet.

 

[SoilVol]

Something on Baron. His dad and brother played for the Hokies. With Pry at the helm and solid close to the season I wouldn't be shocked to see him go to Blacksburg.

 

[butchna]

If he doesn't make it....
Whose in charge ?...
Quinn or Schottenheimer?

Gotta be Quinn. You're begging him to book interviews otherwise.

 

[KPT_VFL]

They don't even know who is staying or leaving yet.

Hopefully we have some decent transfers lined up behind the scenes or it could get worrisome with our roster next year. Virtually no experience at DB, QB (full faith in Nico but played very limited snaps and one injury away from lots of trouble), one RB with experience… lot of unknowns next year. The young guys could ball out and be the truth or we could be in for along year.

You guys crack me up. John Campbell, Omar Norman-Lott, McCallen Castles, and presumably Keenan Pili were great portal additions last year. You won't bat .1000, but those additions were on point.

H

I’m all for all the junior and senior secondary guys leaving.

Slaughter might’ve been out best corner after Hadden went down, but that doesn’t mean he was a good or natural corner. I’ll not miss seeing him bite on out and ups.

Let the young guys feast.

He should have been our starting safety. But we kept trotting our crap. Feel like we are choosing some players over others that should stay instead of letting others walk.

We got some good young ones and good ones coming in. One of next year's starters will be in high school for another week.

 

[ALStateLineVol]

The info is on the website. 90+% goes to the athletes.

I've seen that but I was specifically speaking about others. My apologies for not stating it better.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Transfers are NOT VFLs..............remember that.

Ask Hendon Hooker what he is.....came here as a transfer and left a legend. Place saved his career.

Yea they were great pickups, but we have nothing at all yet. I know plenty of time but I understand the hand wringing.

 

[MarcoVol]

Only if he plays safety

Man it was fun watching him be a thumper at S

Kamara, Malik Jackson, Bru, etc. Plenty of transfers are VFLs.

You're correct it did,but if Milton hadn't have got injured...
Hooker never sees the field....

So some luck factored in as well...

But yea Hooker is a Vol to the bone...

Wonder how many portal entrants have actually committed to another school so far.

I’d guess not many.

You mean since the portal opened on Monday? Are we thinking that we should have a team of transfers on the 5th day?

No denial there. Just not much steam anywhere yet.

The ones that have committed , knew their destination before they entered....

 

[Ashevolle]

SIAP, why is Baron looking to transfer elsewhere? He's a starter and star here? Not enough NIL? I mean.... pay him for godsake.

 

[csprig9]

Spyre helping out quite a bit I see lately lol

Campbell and Norman-Lott didn't commit to us until the second week in January. There will be more coming. Teams actually need a roster to play a bowl game.

I hear ya man. But ya gotta admit it's been a rough few days for Vol news.

Let's dissolve them...that'll improve things immensely.
