Recruiting Football Talk VII

AP tweeted out an article on On3 about coopers availability this weekend.. it’s paywalled. Someone have the details?

The dude ought to be fine by Saturday

He got surgery on August 8th

It's been 47 days already and by Saturday it would have been 7 weeks and four days of healing. If he doesn't go he should at least be totally fine after the bye week. Which would make it 9 weeks and four days.

Gonna have to hit up the Bears for that pick...or hope they go with Drake Maye.

Since you stated that wouldn't Maye fit the Bears better ????

 

[Vol423]

Damn. What a play by Dowdell!

 

[Vol423]

I see that Blaine Gabbert is still Blaine Gabbert. 5 passes so far, and he's thrown 2 picks.

Does it matter? We were favored by Vegas to win in the Swamp.

As we should have been and being a -13 favorite seems about right considering it's Neyland at night, their offensive line is terrible and their defense is terrible.

 

[Vol423]

I'm no Cowboys fan, but that was pass interference.

I find Volnation posters' fascination with night games interesting. Do you guys think our opponents are afraid of the dark?

It’s also not a crime to see our wins are against an FCS team, a 1-2 G5 team and the worst P5 team in the country.

We get it. We suck. Broken record at this point!

Cowboys Red Zone offense is crap this year so far....I like Dak but he is a game manager no "it" factor....as quote Stephen A. Smith says " an accident waiting to happen"...

Hahaha Dallas

If you're a Cowboys fan and you think Dak is nothing more than a game manager, then why do you like Dak?

Yes...but there's the UNC factor. Doubt that would factor with Poles, but the fans will bisch. I think Caleb Williams is a glossier Justin Fields.

Do you understand the concept of homefield advantage and that when there is a night game at Neyland there is a maximum amount of noise?

Don't be silly.

 

[butchna]

Stephen A found his peace with God.

LOL.

Stick by my team...just like everyone else...

 

[butchna]

Maybe he was alive when Troy Aikman retired and he witnessed what they ran out there before Tony Romo?

Astro about to get his first win as a starting qb

Milton obvioiusly had an MRI today. And Godfather Vitello noted earlier in this thread, MRI's are really common these days. In fact he probably wasn't the only one to have an MRI after yesterday's game and there have certainly been others this fall.

Now, as for Joe, everyone I have spoken with believes he's going to be good to go this week, but as we know it's a long week so we will see how he progresses, but everyone seems optimistic that he will be ok come Saturday.

Caleb Williams a glossier Justin Fields??? What

 

[volbeast33]

Fields needs one more chance, imo

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

LOL.

Will you go on record and say that having a night game doesn't make a difference?

 

[knoxvol52]

Caleb Williams a glossier Justin Fields??? What

He isn't wrong...

Tennessee has been without starting center Cooper Mays since early in fall camp. Mays had a procedure after feeling pain in his abdomen and getting further examination from specialists.
More details have emerged as sources confirmed to Volquest that Mays surgery was to repair three hernias and an abdominal wall repair during the second week of August.
With the triple hernia procedure in addition to the repair of the abdominal wall tear, Mays was given a six week recovery timeline by the surgeons. In the middle of this past week, was exactly six weeks since the surgery.
While technically Mays was cleared to return the week of Florida, he had been only a participant in individual periods of practice that week and had not done any team periods the week of the Florida game. That meant he had yet to have contact during practice since the first week of fall camp. His first contact came this past week prepping for UTSA. Mays will work to continue knocking the rust off this week in practice as he did last week going against the scout team.
Sources also confirmed to Volquest that Mays is on track and hopeful to be ready for this week’s game against South Carolina.

-VQ update on Cooper Mays. Triple hernia and abdominal wall repair in the second week of August is the official procedure.
