I guess the checks aren't flowing into the Tuscaloosa PD as frequently as they used to from the football offices.

Tuscaloosa Police Arrest Alabama Offensive Lineman Elijah Pritchett

So, sends out a tweet that he's gonna enter the portal. Gets arrested. Sends out a tweet that he's reconsidered and is staying.

I expect charges may be dropped....

Man, you're smarter than that. Don't pull out a stat that's only a portion of the story to counter an argument. If you watched our games, you know they were not great at pass pro, certainly not championship caliber or even close.

For all Joe's faults he usually avoided taking sacks. But he didn't have the time top teams give their QBs. Not really even close.

Well, so was it Joe or was it the OL? I thought Joe played ok enough the first part of the year but then struggled in some games in the back half. But decisions by the QB affect the OL, too. Florida game was bad, but we didn’t have a full OL.

If we only give up 18 sacks next year with Nico, you will see great results.

Auburn is a bunch of twats

But apparently their high rollers are willing to give more than our high rollers. Their class is bought and paid for, but it just demonstrates how far their donors are willing to go.

Hey buddy… you having a rough morning?

It’s just funny how myself and others comment how the staff struggles to close and a lot of cheerleaders on here somehow take offense to that and go in with personal attacks.

Meanwhile, guys who literally cover recruiting and have for decades say the same thing. The staff is recruiting well, but needs to close better.

But keep lashing out at me, the big bad wolf, if it makes you feel better.

You realize that "those guys who cover recruiting" are most interested in clicks and listeners, right? They echo what the disgruntled part of the fan base is saying. Most of their material comes from Volnation. They have to fill air time in a cycle when there is no news. They make their living off controversy. Who would care if they went with the line of "everything is great."
Bottom line is that the staff did a great job, but that doesn't generate clicks.

The retention to me is where people miss out in evaliating today's recruiting. We need a team composite score imo. So like snaps in league+avg star+time in system.

I don't have the numbers, but I bet money Mizzou scored high in areas one and three this year and that was a big part of their success. Losing studs and replacing them with one and done players is going to eventually catch up with teams imo. I also believe the vols are going to be off the charts in this metric next year with all those returning linemen and high ranking recruits. 2025 is the year that worries me.

Phil Steele releases a list of returning starters each year. Bill C. does returning production. (I also like how Phil Steele looks at close losses/wins as a swing measure for variance)

Action Network took these measures + experience of transfers and created TARP (Transferring Assets and Returning Production).

Guess who was dead last in TARP last year in the SEC? UT. And yet some still don't see it was a rebuilding year

Mizzou was favorably in plus territory, 5th in the SEC.

#1 in TARP nationally? Washington...having a historic season for them

Interesting:


#11 Jordan Seaton Colo
#12 Ryan Williams Bama
#19 Terry Bussey A&M
#27 Dominick McKinley A&M
#90 Dealyn Evans A&M

All top 100 guys that are committed and unsigned. Updated now that Smith shows signed

Thanks for sharing. Those missing classes killed us. Once those years are graduated out I expect we'll see a lot more consistency.

Do you get a bad sunburn on an overcast day because the sun is magnified by the water droplets in the clouds?

Didn't he enter the transfer portal? Is the portal infected too? This dude is sick.

Go Bulls...my old grad school alma mater.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

I have seen articles written that he signed it, but the sites show him as a hard commit, not a signee.

South Florida Bulls vs Syracuse Orange at 8:00 p.m. on ESPN ....

Syracuse gonna win? 31-24?

 

[Glitch]

I mean that’s not really what they were saying. Did you actually watch the entire video? They were pretty complimentary about the class and staff in general

Your "facts" don't follow the pre-determined narrative that our coaching staff sucks donkey nuts. Take it elsewhere please.

Well, yah. And now someone(s) else is sick too.

Will each team score that many points, is the ?....

You need to spend less time in Mexico, amigo. #NewImageryPlease

Oh, and one year student exchange at Chico State. Go Wildcats..ummm, need a TN assistant to transfer there.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

should've shot it and ate it.

I'm just trying to find the thought process of fighting a gator with a trashcan. Pretty much every scenario where I'm face to face with a live gator my ass is headed in the opposite direction.

 

[knoxvol52]

@jave36 ...who you think is a better QB, Trevor Lawrence or Daniel Jones?

 

[InVOLuntary]

I give this class a very solid B. I think opposing coaches used this year to downplay last season. Pick up the 5* DL in the spring and I'll bump it.

Recruiting needs to be better to challenge the big boys. It's a process though. Better season next year = better Recruiting next year.
