Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Devo182]

But but but recruiting rankings don’t matter lol

Ofc they do.

But I'll say this - if we had them in Neyland at night it would've been a different story.

Even on a neutral field, I think it would've been competitive.

After that 1st drive face mask, the momentum was overwhelming. From Q2-Q4 it was a 17-21 game. That Q1 momentum just put us in such a big hole.

Our class talent is improving. Will take time to see the field, but it's coming up across the board.

“Rebuilding year”

Some of y’all need to quit with Pruitt level excuses.

if OSU plays like this they won't lose again though, that's for sure. we got their absolute 100% best

This loss will look a lot different if OSU runs the table in the playoff. But man it will suck if Oregon handles them.

Year 4 should be the last year of a rebuild. Next year should be where it's at.

McCoy is a great corner who went up against an elite WR. He's not going to win every matchup every game.

Especially when we couldn’t pressure Howard behind that decimated ( ) OL.
And he was delivering perfectly thrown passes

No year is a rebuild with the portal.

It’s just excuses.

It’s to save a draft. You can delete it anytime this way.

Thanks Freak

Your portal obsession is fool’s gold

1st quarter buried us. The game looks a lot different if we could've stayed within 7 that qtr. That dang face mask penalty changed the whole quarter.

Nonsense.

We overachieved this year. Lacking talent at too many position groups to win a playoff game at Ohio State.

Heup has to get the dudes and pay up. He’s got a great opportunity here in the next 3-4 years. Continued development of Nico, Faizon coming in, an elite left tackle prospect in Sanders. We have to complement them with the skill guys.

How was it not? We were picked to finish 7th in the SEC.

New QB, New RB1, Fully revamped secondary, New TE room, Lost our 2nd leading WR, lost our top 6 leading tacklers…

Just because Milton’s team only won 9 doesn’t mean this team wasn’t inexperienced and a rebuild. The good news the younger talent overall rose to the occasion.

 

[Ashevolle]

Good season. We ran into the likely national champions on the road and that was all she wrote.

 

[Devo182]

I’d like to see us run tempo again, but I think Nico doesn’t have the ability to process fast enough. Milton had the same issue.

He's just inexperienced this season. I don't see Milton in him.

Remember HH came in with 2 full seasons under his belt and was a senior already.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Now that we got shellacked, I’m gonna say what I have been thinking for 2 weeks.

Ohio state is the most talented team in the country, and they are going to win it all.

 

[GVol1966]

I feel like we need to adjust the passing game a lot. Dead routes & WRs stopping before plays finish not even acting like they are expecting the ball is to easy for better talent to shut down.

Ya have 4 routes you need the D to feel like all 4 are threats otherwise zone eats our lunch and we see the one or two live routes double & even triple covered

That’s coaching!! Period.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Your portal obsession is fool’s gold

Cope harder

 

[TrippieRedd]

Nonsense.

It’s not.

 

[jakez4ut]

And just like that, it's the off-season.

Life comes at you fast... Lol

 

[MoCo_Vol]

He's just inexperienced this season. I don't see Milton in him.

Remember HH came in with 2 full seasons under his belt and was a senior already.

And STILL only went 6-6 in his first year starting here.

 

[GVol1966]

Of the 12 teams in the playoffs. Only two had second year QBs. Only one had a RS Freshman. Half the field is a 4-6 year guys.

Oregon, Ohio St, ND and probably a few more chose not to roll with an average vet , or inexperienced QB and got a playoff winning QB from the portal.
Texas , who else?

I knew Ohio State had more talent, then I started looking at class and player rankings around the second quarter last night and went “Holy S”.

They play like that last night the rest of the way and nobody is beating them.
