Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Doubt we pursue a LT. That's what we're paying Heard to be. With luck, Bennett Warren or Brian Grant will be our RT, with the other being a capable backup at both OT positions. Hopefully Satterwhite will be ready at center. Guard is where we need help. If we pursue an OT, that says we don't think Warren or Grant are ready.

Heard looks like a Guard to me.


*Disclaimer: I’ve neither played the position or know anything about coaching it.

I was under the assumption Sanders is a day 1 starter at Tackle.

Listed at 6'6", 340lbs. That's tackle size. Don't know his wingspan. But we paid him a lot to come here and be a LT, not a guard. Doubt he'd take kindly to being pushed inside as the real money at the next level for OL is at OT. Especially LT.

Maaan last time I thought that “OL is a weakness” we were going to into Athens and all the sudden our D-line sh*t the bed

Good luck to the young man..

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

I’m shocked I tell ya, just utterly shocked.

Spoiler: T. Hunter wins it by A LOT

Never ideal for a freshman to start day one. You know that.

 

[Weezer]

Sucks. I thought he had a shot at being a contributor next year. With both him and Webb hitting the portal, I could see us taking a WR now.

 

[Jackcrevol]

LOL, we're gonna like three dudes at WR arent we?

 

[vol4eva]

Had his opportunities to breakthrough here. Drop city

Would it surprise you if Leacock hit the porthole?

Ryan Day bites his toenails.

If this kid is as good as everyone says on here, Sanders will most definitely have a shot at starting day 1.. 5* OT don't think he wants to stand on sidelines his first year..

 

[SpringBokVol]

SO this irritates me. Not because he is leaving, that's fine.

It's the fact that he took all of Mathews' minutes.

I hate that the coaches tried to develop him and he bounces when then could have been giving that time to Mike.

 

[MarcoVol]

Ward over Sampson is hilarious

Ward has better numbers than Gabriel and without him Miami is like 6-6.

D Samp maybe should be in over Gabriel tho.

At what position? Won’t be at LT. And RT needs more of a physical mauler type. We’ve struggled since Darnell with Mincey and Campbell.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Unpopular opinion: Sampson had a great year. A year worthy of recognition, just not Heisman recognition.

Not sure if y'all've (double contraction skills) heard about this, but it's awesome:

Cheatham Middle School has used University of Cincinnati's colors, logo, and mascot for 26 years.

About 2 weeks ago, Cincy sent the school board/district a cease and desist letter. The most absurd thing I've heard, because middle and high schools nationwide use colors, mascots, and logos of college and professional teams all the time (for example, my high school has a framed 1970's letter from Auburn stating we can use their official colors).

Today Cheatham County Schools announced they've partnered with Xavier University (Cincy's #1 rival) to use colors, logo, and mascot moving forward.

The pettiness is unmatched. Also, screw Cincy.

What if MM just wasn’t ready? VQ or someone said on a pod that MM has grown up a lot over the course of the season, which would lead one to believe he’s had to learn what it takes to get snaps at this level.

All conjecture tho of course.

It’s clear that Matthews’ injury pre-season delayed his development.

No times and present situation. Hope errybody else is healthy.

Heard is definitely a tackle. He might project to guard in the NFL though depending on his arm length.

This is true
