Recruiting Football Talk VII

I wouldn't mind him back at all.

I think Wesley's been our most underrated player the last couple years.

I do understand the staff deciding its time to play the young guys now. Still, if we had him back the safety spot would've been secure. Its also ridiculous how all of these old DB's still have a year left lol its like "oh wait, he's still eligible!?" For every single one.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Hell of a typo when talking about Freeze

So like I said, he can’t change for the better? You can guarantee that he isn’t a good man now? Wow cool story bro

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So he’s def redeemed himself? All people change for the better and none stay the same. Got it.

Didn’t say that. Like usual you can’t offer a good retort so you just try and flip it back. Typical. The point is neither one of us know. You claiming he isn’t a good leader of young men now because of past mistakes is just fundamentally flawed and dumb.

I think they tended to avoid the situations that got Joe in trouble. His clear inability to throw receivers open or anticipate them being open likely made the middle of the field less available. Whatever his role in '22, Golesh wasn't key in all the successful offenses Heupel had in the past, and Heupel didn't forget how to coach offense this year. Joe's stats were decent *because* of the game plan, but the overall performance was down because they were planning around his limitations. I bet that'll be obvious by mid season next year.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

It looks like we should be top 15 in the blue chip ratio going into next year.

Did a count and it looks like we should have around 42 total 5 and 4 stars on the roster. Not including our former 3 stars that are studs like Squirrel and John Campbell.

 

[Carp]

Imo, Walker is a thumper, and those guys have value in stopping the run and making tackles on the backend. But he's not the most athletic guy and seemed bad in coverage. Hurts depth more than anything. He shouldn't be starting for an SEC school other than Vandy.

Josh Harder too close games..

Have plenty of offense..

i want to be able to rotate Hayward and Taylor…. need one more big bat in that lineup

Jeff Passan stated last night on Sport center ...

If they signed anyone it would be on a 2 year contract or less, a player wanting to play with Ohtani try to get a ring and move on to bigger contract from other team...

You need as many as you can get. There is no such thing as enough DLine/OLine depth in the SEC.

With public wifi at most SEC stadiums even if teams don't do it some individual could. And you wouldn't even have to get inside the stadium. You could set up outside. Grab the playbook for that game and save it for next week or what have you. If my team went to tablets I'd demand it have the wifi and bluetooth stripped and have a guy preload everyone's tablet manually but I don't want 100 wifi tablets with wifi/bluetooth cards. And it wouldn't be hard to have such a tablet customized or made. Basically make an LED ereader without wifi or bt.

As for comms... those can be intercepted too but the flip side is you can jam it even if you can't get into it.

The NFL has been doing it for years. All encrypted secure signals.

Go Vols.

 

[landscapingvol]

I’m guessing any difference in play calling was due to personnel. The offense is Heupel’s baby.

Correct and it amazes me that many on here still don’t get it. The wide receivers as a whole were pretty average after McCoy went down and for all his flaws qb play improved but was still inferior to Hooker. Tennessee was always going to take a step back this year with the losses of Hooker, Hyatt, and Tillman

@knoxvol52 @UTSuave’

As usual the Braves are a non factor in offseason moves

Any word on if Tillman is coming back?

 

[landscapingvol]

I understand that, I want you guys to get a starter...

Dodgers vs Braves..

Mookie, Freddie and Ohtani vs Acuna, Olson and 3rd Baseman ?

Yamamoto, Buelher and Glasnow vs Strider,Fried and ?..
.

No matter how much Braves fans try to convince themselves, the playoffs have shown the last few years that Max Fried isn’t a pitcher that is going to carry you through the playoffs. Strider? Maybe but that is yet to be seen and it’s the continued issue facing Atlanta, who is the other starter behind those two? The notion of building a World Series championship roster through the minor leagues while being a non factor in virtually every major free agent sweepstakes isn’t a recipe for sustained post season success. It’s nothing more than a repeat of the Cox era. The core of the team continues to age while the prospect of home grown talent dwindles each year. The Braves continue to spend like they are still the Milwaukee franchise not the Atlanta one

 

[landscapingvol]

It’s unlikely but he may opt out of his contract

Syracuse was - 5.5. Those low tier bowl games are like betting on NFL preseason. Never know who's gonna show up to win and who's showing up hungover.

I disagree… that was an easy blowout to call…. Cuse lost their coach, and starting QB, meanwhile USF is riding high. Don’t know why the “experts” had USF losing. Easy game to pick

I took usf at -5.5 because of the facts around Syracuse and their roster last night. No idea how they were favored. Mindboggling
