Recruiting Football Talk VII

[DD4ME]

We’ve seen this before. Must not actually be coming here then. It’s been said multiple times we’re not going to get into back and forth bidding wars with other teams for players.

Chill brother

 

[DD4ME]

I still say too many pieces line up with us. If he does come fans will say we did too much he's unproven. If we don't land him 75% will have a brain bleed. I think the staff knows we can't do Seaton part 2.

 

[LA Vol]

I've been thinking about Kiffen. He always has been shrewd at getting what he wants in the near term. The funny part is, in all that chasing short term wins he's never landed what he is actually chasing.... I hope that trend continues.

He executes his strategy-- many just don't agree with it. He's usually on-brand.

 

[DD4ME]

So this game would be based on 2024 rosters?

Will be interesting to see what he's rated vs Arch, Nelson, Moore...

I'm guessing none will be too high, but ceiling will be near 99 if not that. Except maybe Nelson, transferring to Boise, for better or worse, isn't a strong look. And it's just that and not more, but we're also talking a video game here lol

Rumor is Nico is a 99. I guarantee a bunch of young kids get exposed to UT playing Nico on 24. He's not just the better player he's the coolest guy. Can't argue that.

The risk averse

 

[Devo182]

Money and position and money and PT and money and a starting spot and money and who's going to get me drafted higher so I can make more money...

As in we paid him too much? Only the most cynical VN goblins will say that lol. Most fans barely know NIL exists. And considering there's no salary cap, it's pretty brain dead to complain about other people "overpaying" with their own money.

Right. But guys want to play where they want to play and if they're in a position to make it a thing, some do.

People on here have already said we should not promise specific spot or pt etc. The larger the prospect the larger the demands. Not my circus or monkey to draw the boundaries, but people love the circus.

Did they leave Micah Parsons off of All- Pro team? Asking for a friend...

Just saw the player's association left him off. I take the PFF grades with a grain of salt, but there is more than just stacking numbers.

There is a clip from the Commanders' game where they triple teamed Parsons. It allowed Lawrence to hit Howell and for Donovan Wilson to intercept the pass. There is no stat for that.

Parsons has a high win rate and is going on about 44 quarters without a holding call

Highly skeptical any QB this year is a 99. Ewers might be the highest if he returns and even he would be on futher potential imo

Barkley was the highest at a 98 and was a senior and Heisman favorite in the last release. Denard Robinson was on the cover and only a 93.

Pros are different and it's also possible they boost ratings overall with the new release, but iirc in Madden even #1 overall draft picks begin in the 70s or 80s.

His jacket looks like it got put in the wash with a whole pack of red crayons.

A lot of talk for a team that just struggled with Vandy imo

Yes and he told the refs his displeasure of the non holding calls against him..

Congratulations to.

A I'll guess (without looking it up) Drake Maye?

B is definitely Joe.

I already know Ewers's stats. He's A.

Not sure who B is. Looks almost like JG's except for the rushing lol.

Edit: Or wait...Joe?

Edit #2: JT3 confirms it's Joe...(?)

A is Ewers. B is Joe.

[JT3]

A is Ewers. B is Joe.

Would have thought Ewers had more rushing yards.

Prob the most overrated QB in college FB right now for the amount of hype given.
