Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Their main weakness is the OL and their HC....they are loaded everywhere else. Howard is not great so far, but he is talented.

Well he does do infomercials in the off season.

Funny how the Beck injury news drops the day after the teams are seeded lol

In this weird messed up format, Georgia would be seeded exactly the same with or without Carson Beck.

Forget one player. Their entire 2nd string would still be seeded higher than ASU and Boise State.

Yeah I expect the game to be on the lower scoring side. 20-13 type of game. Could obviously be wrong, especially if Nico continues to progress.

 

[Garren04]

This probably gives a little insight on where Staley is at.

 

[PKT_VOL]

Yeah, and Im sure the coach that's been coaching D-Line in this conference for 50 years just forgot to cosch his guys about that. Oops!

Tate Ratledge can **** off somewhere.

Picking up on tells like this happen at the highest level of competition across all sports. Merely having a coach that has coached for a long time doesn't make a team or its players immune to subconsciously giving off tells.

We ought to be grateful that Tate's ego baited him into revealing our tells before a playoff game publicly (giving up time to correct them) versus secretly telling our competition or even staying mum about them and possibly letting OSU pickup on them and exploit them in the playoff game.

I love RG as much as anyone, but we did have one player line up offsides three separate times in that game. We are dealing with 18-22 year old kids at the end of the day.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

I kinda got emotional at the TN part...

Being in the entertainment world, their ability to crank these out so fast is astonishing.

We just have players that do dumb **** periodically too tbh

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Looks like we get Arnold again next year

That's a good offense for him.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Just curious. Does anyone know what ND’s quality win is supposed to be? I don’t see any ranked teams on their schedule. We know losing to NIU at home is far worse thane losing to Arky on the road. It may be the loss of the year. They would need at least one quality win to be in the top 10, no? I never realized ND only played 3 road games.

C'mon man, it's Notre Dame! Everyone knows they're elite!

 

[DeepPurpleFloyd]

Can we please move on from Barnes before this program sinks any lower…

We all know he's just here to pad his retirement fund!

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

What an awesome hire

Daniel J. White don’t miss.

 

[johnfnkelly]

Was anybody aware Quavarius Crouch played RB for a D2 program this past season?

 

[eVOLve]

Daniel J. White don’t miss.

Can’t wait to see what it’s like after another recruiting cycle. She’s already coached them up so well.

 

[tyonthefly93]

And neither are we...especially on the road

Sure. But we have gotten better. I will say that the amount of pressure surrounding Ryan day and the Ohio State program does bode well for us.

Holy S**t i think I had a Motorola razor then completely forgot about that cat..WOW!

 

[MockingVol]

So, the Central Michigan head coaching job is open. Does anyone think that we lose Banks to them? He played college football there And was the DC for them for 3 seasons. Plus he's from Detroit.

I would think with another year like this one under his belt he would be in line for some solid P4 jobs. I think he can and should do better.

Army is ranked, so they do have 1 ranked win. A&M and Louisville were ranked at various times and are decent teams.

Their schedule was definitely a joke this year though. But to their credit, it looked better before the season started. Florida St, Louisville, A&M, and USC were all ranked coming into the season.

Never played another down of D1 ball after MSU. Had 2 years left of eligibility.

#1 player in the country at one point.

 

[SoilVol]

Come home!

I'd take. Has played well for VT. Intercepted Cam Ward in a goal to go situation against Miami this season. Has probably performed slightly above his 3 star rating. Probably a 3 to low 4* transfer.

 

[SugarCC]

YESSSS. The past 20 years in this conference have been amazing. I love having a rival within 45 minutes of our conference headquarters, have "legitimately" signed top 3 recruiting classes annually, and the my absolute favorite part...... have multiple alumni referees, across all sports. Totally worth it.

Exactly. All the sweeter whenever we beat their ass.

Head to head with Bama, the Third Satuday in October, our most bitter of rivals...for almost 100 years it made us a Top 8 program in the history of college football. WE are the main rivals of the most successful program in history, and they are ours. No one has beaten them more times, no one has beaten us more times.

Losing focus of this, with the Florida's and the Georgia's...it got us 20 years of suck.

You are right, though...beating them is always a mountain to climb; but, it always puts us in very good shape whenever we do (be it the season itself, or overall health of our program). Beating them in 22 put us in the playoff...we didn't get in because we lost to SCarolina. Beating them this year put us in.

I agree with all you said...still want to play them every year.

 

[engineerVOL]

So how long we looking at here? Or is he donzo

@VolsDoc81TX should be able to chime in after the playoffs.

 

[engineerVOL]

Probably already posted, but……

Uh we play Alabama every year.

 

[SoilVol]

I’m not sold at all that TX will kill Clemson. They aren’t nearly as good as the media has hyped them up to be

Clemson is kind of in the same boat as Alabama. They can play horribly but they can also upset just about anyone because of the amount if talent they have.
