Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

The Bama fan of this thread must’ve really took the win hard yesterday lulz

 

[JacketVol]

I think his talents are best utilized at Star. Very strong run defender and instinctual in coverage.

Those instincts make for a d grant type safety. He’s fine at star but he would eat at safety as a ball hawk.

I’m all for giving Austin Price more say in this. I think he would give us a fair shake.

Everything would then be 50/50...

edit, beat to the punch again

I don’t see how Bama is in losing to 2 6-6 teams. Getting hammered by a very bad Oklahoma team should keep them out.

You and me both, but based on the committee’s bias and past history of flip flopping their selection criteria, I think it happens.

Texas (close)
Oregon (convincing)
Clemson (convincing)
Arizona State (convincing)

I don’t think you’re giving SMU much credit. They are a good football team. Many of their contributors transferred from good programs.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I talked to a man this morning. He's says the Vols are gonna win it all.

It was a pleasure meeting you in person.

2 and McMurray and Harrison not far behind with Boo coming on quickly at Safety. Secondary quickly became loaded. Not sure I've ever seen a position group improve this drastically in one year.

Yeah the secondary is elite, especially at corner and nickel play.

Damn

Jennings is a game changer at QB1 for SMU..

Here are the top 20 offensive teams. We are in rare air being top 20 in both. If our special teams improve, and Dylan stops fumbling in the 1st Q (what is up with that???), we will be tough to stop in the playoffs.

talk about balanced.

He doesn’t make that play and we’re down three scores. It was a ridiculous pick. The WR had two hands on it.

 

[Aesius]

Remember hating his name being discussed as a candidate.

I was okay with settling for him for a few very dark days in Dec. 2020. We actually could have done even worse.

Went back and looked. This was VQ's hot board in Dec. 2020:

Chadwell - would have been a pretty good hire IMO, but super unproven at that point (and still is to some degree, but a P4 program will take a chance on him soon)
Napier - would probably have failed here, too big of a hill to climb taking over in 2021
Brown - bout to be fahred
Kiffin - would have done well but zero chance he would have ever been offered the job
Satterfield - bout to be fahred
Elliott - bout to be fahred
Heupel - resurrected Tennessee football
Campbell - trended down hard for a minute but did really well this season, would have probably been a decent hire
Malzahn - fahred
Herman - fahred by FAU for God's sake
Steele - thank God we didn't trot him out

Damn Hyatt's lil bro

Bet you Bru McCoy being the standup guy that he is gonna reach out.

 

[TrippieRedd]

then it allows the teams to joust for dominance

 

[Volnut]

I talked to a man this morning. He's says the Vols are gonna win it all.

Did he give you any stock tips?

 

[drylo]

I don't know what's more embarrassing, a player at the concession stand during the game or the lack of a line at the concession stand.

I don’t know what’s more embarrassing, a player at the concession stand during the game or 11 players on the field getting bullied by Louisville.

 

[UTProf]

It needs the ability to have a post-game brawl AND for penalties to be assessed next game. lol.

[Adam Sandler]

Someone please do this with Saban and deboer if possible

 

[JCP201]

I wish they'd make it a football law that you can't go to the portal or opt out for NFL till after the season is completely over.

[SagginVawls]

Wasn’t with firing Heupel, but there probably needs to be a staff change or two under him that moves the program more into elite status. Most would probably agree with that take as well on here. Heupel is fine though only reason he’d get fired would be because road performances and not ever getting over Georgia/championship issues.

This. Exactly. The calling for his head was such a ridiculous take though.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

How would Clemson earn a bye? I thought only the top 4 ranked get a bye. They should clearly be the lowest ranked conference winner if they win.

They would get a bye if they beat SMU to be conference champion. Only the top 4 are slotted for Conf Champions only.
