Recruiting Football Talk VII

[GVol1966]

Theoretically, Karic is supposed to be the guy at LG next year, which would give UT a veteran o-line without having to rely on the younger guys developing faster. But Karic was supposed to be the guy last year and was beat out by Ollie-- over and over and over again. He also has injury issues. So... an experienced LG seems like a play. Will be interesting to see who enters the portal between now and 1/13.

I don’t see a guy that couldn’t beat out Ollie being the guy, even with the off-season to develop.

Ellarbe gets the most out of his starters I’ll give him that, but we need to develop some depth for next year, so hopefully the guys they recruited pan out we need it to happen for Nico

I don’t know and call me crazy, do you perhaps like cats?

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Getting him back will be HUGE. He may not be the fastest guy but when he catches the ball he usually drags 2-3 players with him for a few extra yards.

Nice victory for Vols 87-50..

SEC play starts Saturday at home vs Mississippi...

I think Kiffin is trying to maximize a short-term window. He knows he has a favorable schedule next year and is trying to rent the players to ride that to the playoffs. That will either springboard him to a position he wants more or net him more money and better terms at Ole Miss. He's banking on transfers' self-interests helping his self-interests. To your point, chemistry is fickle and I'm not sure he can herd cats long enough to make it work. But it will be something to watch.

In today’s CFB world it’s a good strategy.
Only the select few Bama, UGA, Ohio st ….
Can say every year that “this might be our year “.
Everyone else hopes to say it 1 out of 5 or 6.

OK. I'll be that guy. I'm not blown away by our basketball recruiting next year
Too early?

We are winning by 35, but you would think we were losing. I love this bar.

Lots of drunk folk.

We signed a Top 100 player, but we only have 3 guys graduating. I’m sure Barnes wants to work the portal. We are a young team.

Norfolk gave it a try but Clean Living Prevails! GBO! The Rebs of Ole Piss get necks!

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Good win tonight. Knecht got back on track. Zeigler had a nice game. Tobe did Tobe things. Good to go into a huge conference opener on a high note.

We just have one commit. We have 3 guys who are guaranteed gone. So, they are leaving options open.

@jave36 is wiser than us all.

That's not what I always say.

Damn just saw this

It was glossed over on here, but AP stated on the podcast earlier this year that Smart offered Ellarbee UGA’s OL gig when Luke departed. Obviously doesn’t share our “concern” over his recruiting.

Kirby Smart doesn’t need recruiters…. He is the recruiter.

Damn just saw this

Lots of drunk folk.

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Huge if true.

Good God. It’s like a list of Tennessee’s most hated people (minus Manziel).

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Look at who's posting it...

Damnit

I'm probably looking too much at the blue bloods and their recruiting. I do like our focus on longer term guys
