Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Plove23]

L

I feel I should forewarn you that we're entering VN's silly season. There's gonna be some crazy the next few months as people suffer football withdrawals. Please don't let it change your view on us as a fanbase.

Lol, not at all. Thanks for the warning tho

That looks like a lot of fun up until the point he crashes.

That's a lot of titles...

All it takes is 2

 

[jave36]

That's a lot of titles for one person.

Took the fam to Cirque tonight.

Holy s***

The stuff they can do is crazy.

Cirque always makes me think of Knocked Up

"The mushrooms are turning on me"

 

[Revived2002]

Is this satire?

How you can you be executive head coach of defense but only a co-defensive coordinator? Lol

 

[Christian Lowe]

Anyone listen to swain today? Apparently he was very critical of recruiting but I didn’t hear it today. Just saw someone on Twitter talking about it

Gotta do something to entice a person to jump on a sinking ship

I get it we didn’t land a top 5 class but we also are all about to watch the ~16th best roster (Michigan) play the ~30th best roster (Washington) for a national title.

NIL, the transfer portal and the playoff may finally be changing the formula for how to win titles. Stacking top 5 classes may no longer be the guarantee/necessity it once was.

That’s what I hope is happening anyway.

Time will tell!

He said it was some concern iirc.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Hope this is true.

He was talking about whoever recruits the o-line needs to close better. He said it may not be the o line coach as sometimes the position coach doesn't always recruit that position. As his main recruiter was the RB coach.

Man...I sure wish we could have a good Tim Banks discussion to offset the OL Woes. Where's InVol when you need him.

Exactly, this current signing class more than likely has very little impact on the next two seasons. Nico's two-year window will make or break Heupel's tenure at Tennessee.

I think we can chill out on that a little bit... From what I've seen, Nico's floor is very high. It seems highly unlikely barring injury that he is anything but a top 5 QB in the SEC in the next two seasons.

But statements like this make it sound like we have a Caleb Williams or even a Cam Newton for the next two years. I'm not saying we definitely don't but that is not the sort of thing you can assume before you've seen more evidence than one start.

I think we have a major asset there and Heupel and company over paying to make sure we can protect him is a no brainer. Not sure it's fair to say Nico is a generational player and it's NC or bust for Heupel. Maybe we are saying that for the 2025 season but not yet.

Hopefully we have GMac come in right behind him and we have solid QB play locked up for a long while here.

The more the merrier in my experience.

I mean, so I've heard.

 

[JT3]

We still need Guard and DB.

I'm okay with what we have in our secondary right now. Wouldn't mind seeing if one of the young guys step up at corner.

Definitely need a LG.

Skip over Merk at your own peril.

 

[Devo182]

Yeah who wants an OL that helps a team be the #1 offense in the country and follows up with #1 rushing attack in the SEC

It's truly MINDBOGGLING

I can at least fathom the Martinez...maybe, maybe even the Banks disappointment...but our ******** OL?!?

Do these people even watch?!?

 

[Devo182]

Boosters need to get pressure on Willie gone

Boosters need to know their role. They're capital, not technical.

Let's not try and be Auburn or...idk...the last 20 years of UT...

 

[Weezer]

I think we need to discuss our lack of a scholarship kicker and how that is a complete and udder (yes I know) failure by this staff that's gonna come back and bite them in the butt.

 

[Weezer]

I don't think we should fire any coaches, unless CWM has signed an extension that hasn't been announced. Just let his contract expire.
