Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[peaygolf]

for what it's worth, this map is from a decade ago and just illustrates Facebook "Likes" for College Football. That's it. Not based on any sort of TV viewership.

Good to know….. it seemed odd

Cam Seldon being back is YUGE

Does Heupel play Seldon against UTC or save him for NC ST.?

2022 Wright makes me hope he gets at least a couple of series in that first one.

If he's cleared, give that man his stats. It'll be nice having two Vols in the Heistman race.

I always go with CJH to be on the safe side

Seriously, folks should just use alphabetical order if they are uncertain at any time.

"e" before "u." Heup
"e" before "l." Heup el

Heu pel

Do not eff it up.

Question... Whay happened over the offseason? Did (A) Heupel finally finish reading "CFB Recruiting for Dummies"? Or (B) the NCAA shadow pass from over UT?

I'd wager it's more (C) our NIL kicked into gear.

NIL helps, but for elite recruits, they are going to get their money, nearly anywhere they go. I'd say, basically NIL is the cost of a seat at the table, and then you need to out-recruit everyone at the table.

UT is now lauded as the University whose NIL was together before anyone else's. If recruiting was singularly NIL, then UT should have been at the top of the classes sooner.

If he's 100%, I think he has to get some carries.

usually this is scary season. its so close to game one and we get almost zero news outside of the usual few injuries. but a reverse injury? a complete recovery? full heal? we winning the natty boys

No doubt

If that were true then David S. would have went to Ohio State. Something has changed around the program and I’m leaning more into we have had culture buy-in for a few years now and now it’s starting to get national attention. When is the last time you read an interview of a commit or even potential recruit that didn’t mention the family culture as a main draw for them? That kind of thing doesn’t happen overnight. It can’t be bought, sold or created but it can be grown. I think recruits are looking at what CJH has grown here and they can’t help but get invested in it. It’s contagious.

Georgia doesn’t feel as good about their depth…. I hope we go into Athens and smack them.

 

[BigSteve09]

one of my favorite Tennessee games of the Dark Ages era was the 2014 OT win at South Carolina when Dobbs and Hurd put the team on their back

 

[VolInDayton]

Does Heupel play Seldon against UTC or save him for NC ST.?

If he's cleared and practicing full contact 2 weeks before UTC there is no reason he shouldn't play. I would hope him being cleared isn't rushing him back seeing how we aren't in season right now

This is almost surely the answer. There was PTSD, it just wasn’t named or understood.

My younger brother was in Iraq and for years after would panic if he passed trash on the road while in a car.

It was called "shell shock" in WWI.

 

[Go Fight Win]

full participant in practice usually means full go in game. I'd bet they bring him back slowly over UTC to test the bearings, so to say, and then be fully available for NC state

RIP Phil Donahue.

Eh. Autocorrect strikes again.
