Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[MoCo_Vol]

I’m a bit disappointed we were lead to believe Dylan Sampson was at his best.

That was our best shot & not having him did us in.

Get mad if you see fit but Tennessee will win 3 National Championship in Baseball before Tennessee wins one in football...

Barnes will make a FF first.

 

[TrippieRedd]

The only things I will say about yesterday...............

#1. In 36 years of following Austin Peay basketball.........That was the worst f'ing performance I've seen
#2. That was the worst I've ever seen a "Good" UT team look in my lifetime.

Yesterday was a waste of time.

I went to Anakeesta in Gburg.

Missed the first quarter or so of the game. Glad I decided to go.

It still baffles me that the offense has regressed so much. I can't make myself believe Golesh was the brains behind it.

Wr talent and speed was lacking big time this year
Nobody feared our WRs

 

[InVOLuntary]

The longer we go with Heupel, the more I’m convinced he is our Mark Richt. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Loyal to his coaches to a fault. Good not great coach. Good not elite recruiter. Will always field a good team and be good, but will not hit that elite tier. Compared to where we’ve been, a lot of people will be ok with that.

I'm sort of there too.

 

[Volbucky]

Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Homer should be wearing a Baseball Uniform..

I don't know. Our basketball team is pretty dang good.

 

[Christian Lowe]

I don't know. Our basketball team is pretty dang good.

Expectations will have to be adjusted considering the SEC is the NBA Western conference this year.

11-7 might win the conference this year

According to some individuals on here, Sprye is the best thing since sliced bread. Personal I don't know..

I think Spyre might be good but they can’t do anything if they don’t have more money
I just wish we could see what/who they were spending it on

 

[WebbCobb]

As unfortunate as it is, money is driving this. I don't know if it's a lack of money or an unwillingness to spend it. Players are cashing in and who can blame them? In today's game you have to purchase your rosters. Are we willing to do that?

Program loyalty seems to be as strong as the amount on the check. I'm not sure playing for the logo is much of a thing anymore.

When NC hired BB, I thought it was stupid but I'm rethinking it. It may be a genious move. Head coaches now need to be more roster managers than ever before. He's going to set that program up as a professional team. His staff will mimick a professional organization. Let's face it, college is now professional, no amateur about it.

BB was pretty terrible at drafting talent in the last ten years and he was never a fan of free agency. So, not sure he’s a great fit

What happened last night does more harm than good in recruiting.

And that's what I was telling people ....but they insisted that just being one of 12 teams is the end all be all...

Making a 4 team playoff is like making the final four

What we did was the equivalent of being in a Ny6 game in the old system

 

[csprig9]

Get mad if you see fit but Tennessee will win 3 National Championship in Baseball before Tennessee wins one in football...

I mean the baseball team might win the next two also so that means football might be soon

Road wins will be especially difficult to come by. We'll lose some games no doubt. They're still really good.

Move on is a movement, correct?….

The Florida game will tell us a lot, not sure either program has really been tested this year. I don’t think UVA or Illinois will be tournament teams, bubble at most. Arkansas has made some deep runs the last few years…

 

[TheBigOne10]

Great thing is in addition to basketball, baseball will be here in about 6 weeks. Spring practice will be here before we know it. Good times ahead.

we could've played in the cotton bowl versus Iowa State.

 

[MrVolton]

Oregon took 15 transfers in 23
Took 16 in 24
Have 6 currently for their 25 class.


Need to start following this.

Agreed. There is no time like the present. Need to make bold moves before the window of opportunity closes.

I agree , I believe this year's version is a more balanced team than last season. CRB may get his National Championship this college basketball season...

Happy Sunday. I find sometimes my greatest moments of clarity are when my earthly wishes are stripped away. Still hurts.

December 22, 2024: For those who acknowledge and walk with Christ, he is making a way that you can follow. Do not be afraid to miss what God is doing in your life. Jesus is truly for you and not against you. You are Christ's own special treasure. Embrace this spiritual reality, and do not doubt the love that God has for you. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

 

[Devo182]

We're averaging 10 wins/season since Heupel's inaugral season, last 3 years.

Only 1 other time in my life could that be said. Still feels good, man.

Beat:
Bama
UF
OU who we really needed to pay back for and we did so in their own house and in easy fashion. That was great.

A scrappy Vandy team that beat Bama and only lost to Tex by 3

Oh and beating UK is always fun.

Not sure about that…I think a few front runners have been feasting on weak schedules.

 

[jakez4ut]

The players leaving is interesting. That concerns a little. Obviously, we wanted them to stay, some we didn't seem to care. It will be interesting to see the reason for them leaving.

I guess it depends on who it is, and what we do to replace.

 

[knoxvol52]

Nothing wrong with that...

Drafting is a little different than recruiting. Money drives recruiting. Will NC spend it? That's what will determine how well he recruits. Free agency again isn't the same as the portal. Money drives that as well. Again, will NC spend it? I'll be watching. It's an interesting experiment.

Yea, I do think MSU, Mississippi, Missouri amongst others are just fools gold.
