Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[UpstateVol613]

Only thing positive about getting dominated this badly is it forces introspection and you to internally assess what you are doing. Hopefully we realize we aren’t as close as we thought we were.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

I’ve kept saying I just wanted to get here. I can’t be mad no matter what tonight.

Only thing I’ve complained about is now going harder after the portal.

I’m proud of the guys this season. We got a taste, we need to do what’s necessary to get the whole pie now.

 

[headhunter15]

Send this to White, Boyd, and Plowman.

 

[Smokey123]

We made the playoffs. Last year, we went 9-4. I’m not sure why there’s an excuse.

Not sure why either. It was a successful season. Lack of horses wasn’t the problem tonight

 

[Adam Sandler]

We lose our best players going into next year. I’m concerned. Mays. Dsamp. Brooks. Pearce. Someone please convince me the cupboard isn’t empty. I don’t get how we can put this poor of a showing up.

Calling it a night. BBall season commence.

 

[KPT_VFL]

This isn’t a diss on Heupel as he’s brought us out of the darkness however he has to make some changes, he’s gotta get some absolute dawgs on the recruiting trail. We need to breakthrough into that top 5 if not better. We need to portal elite talent. I know he doesn’t want drama guys but Ohio State took Caleb Downs and Quinshon Judkins out of the portal… to win big we have to do that type of stuff. We simply need a more talented roster. Our roster is good not great. Glaring holes and not much elite depth. We need to sustain these 9-10 win seasons and we will eventually breakthrough but it’s going to cost money. We need to up the NIL.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Top 2 changes need to be Banks as DC and Ellarbee at OL.

We need better coaches and recruiters.

And Hazle(sp?).

Brooks can probably get another year if he tries. Wouldn’t be surprised if Sampson returns

 

[Jackcrevol]

So we firing Tim banks before he gets back to Knoxville?
Elarbee?

Send to heupel too. He needs to cut the dead weight and take the next step. Whatever it takes.

 

[Orange.]

limited route tree and no creativity.

If you can't see that this is jimmies and joes, not scheme, I don't know what to tell you. We can't block them. See can't beat their blocks. The only chance we really had was if the officials had called obvious DPI on OSU, which they committed all night long. That would have given our passing game a chance.

There was another example on 3rd and 18. Brazzell crossing was hit and had an arm around his waist before the ball arrived.

 

[Jackcrevol]

And Hazle(sp?).

The OL has been not good

This is a great attitude.

Sampson’s not returning.

 

[Smokey123]

Sampson’s not returning.

His stock is low. Would make more returning

Yeah but we will be absolutely drug for this performance. It does hurt the program some.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I miss Burns and Golesh

 

[knoxvol52]

At least Day called off the dogs...

 

[BigSteve09]

Yes

 

[TrippieRedd]

If all they can do is drag a team for making the playoffs, that’s fine.

We definitely had the worst showing, but whatever.

I’m content. Only thing that will make me mad at this point is not doing what’s necessary to take the next step.

 

[BigSteve09]

To go from the 1st Quarter Boiz to the most abysmal damn offense in the first half

wtf happened

 

[TrippieRedd]

Yes

Offense has slowly gotten worse every year since they left.

No coincidence

Hopefully it forces us to realize, while it is great to have guys back (WR and OL), it does mean that we are better in the long run. Also, hopefully we realize we can’t go bargain shopping at LTU for wide receivers who will possibly make a difference.

Fire the DC and Oline coaches and let’s ride.

Burns more than Golesh. But I do wonder if not having Golesh’s “bad cop” mentality has hurt us some.

No slowly about it this year.
