Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Glitch]

Is this real?

My sources are saying the same thing as @bluegrasser , except I’m also hearing that Saban is actively trying to poach what remains of DeBoer’s staff for an XFL gig he’s gunning for.

Apparently he said DeBoer’s guys are a better fit for the XFL because they don’t like to recruit. TIFWIW.

Ok now this sounds like Alice is chasing a rabbit. I am sure there is some drama in Bamaville, but this seems like a bridge too far.

If Bengals don't tag Tee Higgins, look for him to sign with Titans.

Ehhhhh....
Lotta $$ and FA WRs are a high risk

His OC took the HC job wouldn't shock me if Titans signed Tee.
I remember when Norv Turner took Redskins job and Micheal Irvin seriously thought about following Turner to Washington.

Would you all happen to meet in the parking lot between Chili's and Marshalls on Clinton Hwy?View attachment 621247

That's some expensive after-shave.

I'm sure it's a possibility if he's not tagged..............I'm just not sure I'd do it if I were Tennessee........

Agree, just an outside view the OL should be top need this off season.

Levis can't throw the ball if he's looking at the sky.

They definitely have more pressing needs, but Tee has been a good WR, and he's also a Tennessee boy (even though he went to Clemson). He'd probably be the top WR on the roster if signed. But unless they fix that OL, it doesn't matter. Even then, they have to pray Levis works out, which I don't think he does.

If you scream “Michael Vick”” they usually stop after that.they do for me .

Circling back on Sims and his ability to recruit, I know I keep bringing up Reuben Owens from the 2023 class, mentioning that he was the #2 RB in the country, a 5*, the #31 player overall according to 247. But he was also a Texas kid that Sims convinced to come to Louisville. To Louisville. I have to believe we are a much more desirable school than Louisville. I'm not sure we'll see results in the current class based on him just being hired, but going forward, I have to think Sims can make some waves. Only time will tell, but his "recruiting record" doesn't tell the whole story. If Louisville doesn't make a change in HC that year, he has Owens on that record.

That seems..... inappropriate.

No issues with this format . Some may whine about a group of 5 participating, isn't any worse than a 9-3 Kansas Jayhawks making field as a 12 seed.

Can't make everybody happy though.

So dumb to give each conference champ equal weighting.

They aren't the same top to bottom and strength of schedules inside conferences are drastically different.

So in this scenario you could have a non-conference champ from the SEC ranked 4th and not get a bye because you have a conference champ who is ranked 7 get the bye just because they won their weak conference.

And yes, I agree, can't make everyone happy.

Sounds good to me. Makes those conference championships all the more important.

Also if I am reading it right, 5, 6, 7 and 8 will host at their stadium - HUGE advantage there. The rest are neutral site games

Been wondering if besides these guys being good coaches but also certain teams wanting them to help prepare for our offense

Hope mincey at UK doesn’t help them more on defense then on offense where I expect him to be decent but play only 5-8 games lol

Vols coaching staff in high demand.

Who do you guys think makes a run at Martinez?
