Recruiting Football Talk VII

[drvenner]

You can call it a cheap shot but I seen worse than this ....clothes lines and such.......still don't think he meant to injure him...knock him out of game yes but to rupture his spleen no....but we can agree to disagree

We can.

Being a 90s kid, I hate Florida more than any team. They got away with murder Saturday.

Was hit in throwing motion , sort of why the ball went straight up. I believe he was trying to get the ball downfield to the left side of the field

More towards the middle of the field. He had white on a fly. The protection was awful from Crawford and Campbell but Ollie letting Watson through him is what caused it

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Their defense isn’t average it’s actually a pretty good defense, probably top 5 in SEC

I think it’s skewed from playing zero good offenses. Utah doesn’t ever really have an offense and they were down to their third string QB, then a cupcake, and our disaster.

 

[LA Vol]

@LA Vol Do you know if we have a black alternate this year?

They have Dark Mode. Dark Mode (basically charcoal) and Summitt Blue were added to the official UT color palette last year.

 

[knoxvol52]

We can.

Cubbies hanging in tied with Reds for 3rd WC with 2 weeks left in regular season...

 

[LA Vol]

Any word on Tim banks? Many view him as a bridge coordinator/discount coach due to the situation at the time of his hiring not being able to attract top flight coordinator/position coaches at most positions. Think they’ll make a move or a few at seasons end if this thing goes down to 8-4 again?

CJH prioritizes stability, but staff changes seem inevitable this year. There would have been several last year, but CJH wanted to keep the staff intact. Ideally, UT could have kept Golesh another year, but opportunities were inevitable and there was no holding him back.

Thank goodness. Lawd.

Also from the same press conference:

Heupel on Ricky Gibson:


A brief excerpt (not unrelated imo) from a different answer about the defense:

Good to hear this. Let’s toss Gibson, Matthews, Harrison, etc out there. At least they’ll bust their ass and improve, Hadden is just a head case loser at this point.

 

[knoxvol52]

Would love to youth movement in secondary...Harrison has great roots ....I would add the Thomas guy also....

I believe Willie Martinez will likely be one of those staff changes.

 

[85SugarVol]

In that department, he would be.

But I don’t think Milton has been as bad some of y’all do.

We don’t know that. How could we? That’s speculation. Nico could process information much faster than Joe.

Joe has always had the physical attributes. Had them since day one.

It’s why he keeps winning starting QB jobs in training camps (at multiple schools, multiple times).

But the constant check with me (while we’re trying to run fast paced tempo) isn’t going to show up in his Completion %

Yup. Too many exciting pieces back there to keep trotting out Hadden, McCullough, etc every week

 

[SoilVol]

Was yeeting the ball up like a punt to the gator defender while getting sacked the correct decision? Heupel isn’t gonna humiliate him publicly

Oh yeah, he TOTALLY did that on purpose. Had absolutely nothing to do with getting creamed as it was released.

 

[Jackcrevol]

move to make 'trotting out' synonymous with sending a lesser talented player out onto the field, knowing its gonna backfarr.

 

[Orange.]

I hate that baby or powder-puff UNC blue. Please don't wear that. It's like a lame Gator imitation combo with the orange.

Are you saying "dark mode" is not black but charcoal and that we don't have the black uniforms this year? That would be really dumb: the black mambas are the single most popular uni with the recruits!

Who is driving this nonsense, us or Nike?

Dark Mode is black. It used to be called Anthracite-- kind of coal black. Smokey Gray is also in the palette.

Summitt Blue is very popular with the LVs.

Dick "Night Train" Lane was a bad, bad man who made the clothesline famous.

Someone said landing full body weight on a QB like that is a penalty. I know it is in pro, but in college? Idk. @jave36

 

[kemotoe]

I think it’s apparent WM is out after this year. He was the only assistant that didn’t get extended. I don’t foresee any offensive staff changes. Heupel is loyal to Elarbee and Hazle. I don’t really see wholesale defensive changes either. Banks just got extended last year.

Seems like we’ve been flagged for it.

Let them wear it then. We are not a women's volleyball school like Nebraska.

I thought it was a great idea for Pat as a one off last year, except I just knew instead of being appreciative, they would up the ante and say we have to wear them every year like a bunch of tyrants.

Can we get a separate NIL for football, so none of our money goes to those whiners and tyrannical jerks? I hereby renounce a lifetime of supporting the LVs.

Wouldn't hold my breath. The dilemma is that the staff places more value on guys who know where to line up but can't make the plays over inexperienced players who might get out of position at times but have the athleticism to make plays for you.

@bignewt You were right and we were all wrong.
