Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[BigSteve09]

Stop me if you've heard this before. Opponent QB plays like ass all year but has the game of his life vs Tennessee

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

They have ran the same three plays over and over again. Embarrassing

 

[KPT_VFL]

Nope.

You’re crazy. They have 5 stars all over the field. We have a couple. Their WR core is all NFL guys. We have way to many walkons and 3 stars playing.

 

[BigSteve09]

People are not open lol

Ehh

Nico has been running for first downs anyway but it hasn't been so dismal

 

[Orange.]

O that is such ********. They have done that all night. McCoy hit the WR in the chest as the ball arrived, exactly like they did to McCoy in the endzone with no call.

And that substitution call was pitiful.

 

[Smokey123]

I knew it.....yall done talked too much ****!!! Yall know CJH can't win on the road.

He can’t adjust his offense. He literally has his offense 100% figured out and had for a long time now. Yet he does the exact same thing. He has no adjustment skills and doesn’t know how to play to strengths and weaknesses

And banks just sucks. He has the same gameplan every week

i love my vols.
i will always bleed orange.
this game hurts, but i hope it serves as a building block for the future.

i am damn proud of them getting 10 wins. especially after everything all of us has been through for 15 years.

in the offseason i hope there are some changes made and we can bring in some pure talent.

GOVOLS

Was horses the reason we lost Arkansas too?

 

[UTK]

OSU obviously has more overall talent, but it’s not a big enough gap a good game plan and execution couldn’t overcome by any means. I have to say it. Defense has quit. I was wrong about the culture.

 

[Jimmy Football]

This weekend has exposed what happens when teams that have 75% of an elite program play teams with close to a 100%.

Need upgrades in talent and coaching ability if we want to compete at this level.

Bad games happen but yes we don’t have the horses to sleep walk into games.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Embarrassing. Not gonna change until we break through into the elite recruiting echelon.

 

[knoxvol52]

This game was over after first 3 possessions of the game..game would've been closer score in Knoxville though..

OSU is likely the most talented team in the country. We are top 10-15 when fully healthy, which we aren’t even close and the talent gap is massive.

Shhh you’re not supposed to say that. The recruiting rankings don’t matter is what many will say.

 

[volbeast33]

Nico doesn't have anyone open. He would rather throw on the run. He's running because he's putting this team on his back.

we have no route tree and are playing slow

 

[Smokey123]

same old fanbase bs. Will always defend coaches and blame players like Dooley, Pruitt, cbj, ect. Heup can’t adjust for ****

 

[Adam Sandler]

Halzle needs to go. He doesn’t have it. Didn’t have it last year. Doesn’t have it this year. Gonna waste Nico’s talent if we don’t upgrade there.

It’s not massive lol it’s moderate.

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

We're facing the number 1 NIL program in the country. When you buy two Bama starters...

Yeah well, I'm tired of giving thousands of dollars a year to a team who underacheives under the guise of "our coaches and NIL collective are very selective in who they bring in so as to not disturb the "culture"". We don't have a good pool of HS talent in Tennessee so if we want to compete with the best we have to just straight up pay the best players the most money. That's how it is. That's how it will be. I'm better off spending that money on therapy so I can learn to accept that my team will just be ranked 8-15 for the better part of the future. Until a BIG pocket donor starts throwing his weight around, that's about my only plan for enjoying football.

Probably, but I think the program needed this. We’ve reached the ceiling of our current approach and it probably needed to be exposed.

 

[eVOLve]

Staff changes and we need to get the funds up to get players. Not much else to say bout it

Well said

 

[TrippieRedd]

I would not be mad if by the end of the week we find out that we’ve offered over 15 kids in the portal.

Let these kids go elsewhere if they want. Grass isn’t always greener either.
