Recruiting Football Talk VIII

You realize that UT's basketball team lost in Chapel Hill last year. Right? The game was over by halftime. Carolina lead by as many as 24 points. UT cut the lead in the second half due to an insane performance by Knecht. UT lost 92-100.

Don't tell him the basketVOLS are just 1-6 against them either...

I'm thinking he was so drunk by halftime last year that all he remembers is UT's rally in the second half to make the loss respectable.

Am I forgetting someone??

Think that's it.

Bru & Thornton both gone via graduation
Nimrod, Webb, Leacock all in portal.

Not a loss

Said this in the portal thread, but I’m fine with going after Farooq.

Cousin plays here (obviously) I think he would be a terrific 4th option…but he may want to be the focus for his last season.

I'm not all that excited about Squirrel coming back lol. Really hope we get an elite WR from the portal that actually performs like an elite WR.

I'm excited about Matthews starting though, he looks the part.

Was waiting for someone else to say it, tbh.

I’d sit him down and be like you’re the 4th option next year, or you need to move on.

If he would learn to catch without leaving his feet, he would be really good.

 

[TrippieRedd]

If he would learn to catch without leaving his feet, he would be really good.

Imagine him doing the combine drill for WRs where you have to run across the field and catch passes from both sides.


Just stops and jumps for each one.

Belicheck will never come close to winning an ACC title. If he doesn’t put a staff of college coaches together he is doomed.

Yea, I know since that ACC is such a tough and competitive conference..

 

[rikberry31]

Expand the field and get checks for 4 or more first round games and CC games might lose some glamour. Especially if losses do matter gets folded in moving forward.

And if Georgia doesn't win it all the mantra will be the SEC Championship game cost Georgia a National title.
Just like video killed the radio star, Carson killed the championship games.

Any of ya’ll play fantasy football? I finally made the playoffs this year.

What do you think @ATC_VOL ?

Not @ATC_VOL , but I have recently talked to a pilot friend of mine who has reported multiple recent incidents observing similar things, but this was in east coast areas.

Really strange, plus the New Jersey stuff. One politician says Iran has a mother ship off the east coast and is flying the drones . Says we won't shoot them down due to that they may be weaponized. Others say it's our own tech. Still strange that there is no explanation from the govt to put the public at ease.

There were also some reports of similar stuff over Indiana, I believe.

Our enemies are pretty dumb if they're focusing efforts on new jersey and Indiana

Those metros are true, but generally it is the whole states. Pinnacle recruiting for us we look very strong in NC. Both mountains and piedmont. IMO. That is usually where we fall off hardest at least. Would be interested in a correlation.

I actually think 14 teams would be best, top 2 get a bye and the highest seeds for the other games host using the final rankings here's what we would have seen.

We would have hosted, but would have gotten Georgia in 2nd round at neutral field.

Basically the NFL playoff format. It would definitely be better than the format this year.

8 teams, no byes, no auto bids would have been just fine

Pretty much any other format outside of this year’s would have been better. Can’t see how it could get worse.

Still happy we’re in and still confident that if we’ve got most of our issues fixed that we can beat anyone, anywhere, anytime

I like him, not just a big body guy more of a RB body type. Be a good option behind Squirrel for slot work.

Revenge game against Taylen Green next season

Yeah 2023 his junior year he played in 5 total games and then missed the final 8 with injury. Would be huge to get him back.

Sucks that Texas just pissed away his 2 early years. They played him in 11 and 12 games, but he basically saw less offensive snaps in each season than he did in 2023 starting 4 games.
