Recruiting Football Talk VIII

There's a Jr? Aw laws.

Entitlement.

I’d put money on the ball boy whooping his ass

McCarthy is probably gone at end of season. Will your Bears HC be joining McCarthy in the Bahamas?

 

[jave36]

They were called for one offensive holding early in the game, and I don’t remember that there was ever another one after that.

There were a couple or three.

 

[fearsvols]

Matt Ray said they expect to get two injured offensive lineman back this game.

I had no idea Tate Ratledge was still out. That’s big if that holds true.

He started against Ole Miss, got pulled for being ineffective . Was getting whipped for lack of lateral movement

He came back for the Florida game. Played in Ole Miss game as well. Was pretty much a statue.

Does anyone have the youtube app on your phone? Is it acting strange?

Sampson isn't gonna win the Heisman but there's a good chance he will be an All-American this year. Would be our first All-American RB since Travis Stephens in 2001.

I don’t like the match up of our receivers against their Dbs. Other than Bru they are not really physical and they are banged up too. I am afraid that Ga. will make us one dimensional.

 

[Garren04]

Ratledge hasn't been good all year obv because of the injury but he hasn't been a strength

 

[DD4ME]

Can’t wait till the lady Vols play a decent team.

Curious to see how they do then.

Went over to my papaw’s house the other day to visit and started talking about Lady Vols basketball (huge fan) and for some reason he does not like how they play lol

“Just run and gun throwing shots up, no set plays. Hates how they switch every 4 minutes, says there’s no flow. Kept saying it won’t work against the better teams.”

**And yes, I know they played UNC in a scrimmage, heard their coach sucks and is on the hot seat, so that doesn’t hold much weight for me**

I don't think it is that dissimilar with fundamentals like Jack Mckinney taught. Ball movement shooting volume etc. It will honestly work great in a league where shooting is pretty bad on the whole. Instead of taking more methodical shots that still have a low probability of going in take triple. Also by running teams to death you take away some of their best players because they will need rest.

Reflect on how Edey was neutralized by Dan Hurley. They never let him set.

I personally think it will be entertaining and more successful than trying to keep up with recruiting of the top programs.

Meh

I’m probably one of the biggest homers on the forum. But I’m always more negative earlier in game weeks.

As for your question, scientists aren’t exactly sure:

Just messing with you man! I’m normally the opposite…I feel good early on and then get nervous on gameday

3 regular season games left, Dylan needs 336 rushing yards to set the school record for single season

Yeah I don’t necessarily agree with him. Need to see how they do after her first year.

I think if anything, it’s weird for me not seeing set plays and the “usual” game.

Hell, he will have that against UTEP

He's 7th for rushing yards on the season with 1129
Now tied for 3rd for rushing TDs on the season with 20

Jeanty is clearly having the best season for a RB this year, but against far inferior competition. I think the biggest roadblock for Sampson to even be a finalist for the Heisman is actually Kaleb Johnson at Iowa. They're not having a great season, but he's having a great season and against Big 10 competition.


If Dylan has a Travis Stephens at Florida type game (200+ 2 TDs) that leads us to a win then he might at least put himself in NY as a finalist.

I don’t think Sampson will over take Johnson, sadly.

30 less carries, 200 more yards rushing, no fumbles, etc.

Johnson: 7.1 average
Sampson: 5.6 average

Apparently the woman dropped the charges and they’re trying to get Young back for the game against us.

She has the right work ethic and accountability. She has a system that has clearly worked. The rest will follow and if nothing else we will see consistency. The only real concern i have in the short term is the new coaching staff and her inevitable need for maternity leave. It will get sorted out long term, but it could cause some early issues since the coaching team is new to one another and the team. I think it is a great example for the young women on the team though to have family and career. Most will juggle the same.

I also think the younger players will see a team and coach that legit rotates 10-12 players and even as a true freshmen if you put in the work/effort you know you'll be getting minutes out the gate.

 

[chavisut]

We rotate more than any defense I’ve seen at UT. I’m not overly concerned about getting worn out as long as we can avoid a string of 3 and outs.

Johnson: 7.1 average

He doesn't need to have better stats than Johnson. Tennessee with 1 loss playing in Atlanta after him having a huge game in Athens would be all the voters would really care about.

Luckily we have two coaches that could take over and not see too much of a drop off (Roman and Lazo)

I do not want to see the woman she brought from Marshall as the coach while she’s gone. I’m gonna be disappointed because she’s been with Kim the longest, but I don’t think she has the knowledge that Roman or Gabe have.
