Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[csprig9]

What’s going on inside the program? I’m sure Cam has said something regarding this.

Just seems like something is off. So if you have insight regarding this, please share

Trippie
Something isn’t off
You saw that recruiting rankings matter along with development

Happy Monday

December 23, 2024: It is time to get caught up on tasks that you have neglected. Otherwise they will weigh you down and hinder your progress going forward. Begin again with a clean slate, knowing that there is nothing that can hold you back or trip you up. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Anyone heard anything about Squirrel and the portal? A buddy of mine sent me a text saying he took all TN stuff down off his Instagram.

Eh. Did he really live up to any potential this season? Hell there were games it felt like Nimrod produced more, which is sad to say.

3 days ago everything was fine and we were all pumped about the future of the program. The players/coaches aren’t as nearly emotional about a bad game as we are.

Was it a bad game? Yes! That does not mean the sky is falling inside the building

 

[Plove23]

He should reconsider staying at TN. Looks like we have tons of open spots.

Lol, I know right

 

[Plove23]

Unless it’s with the good guys

GBO

 

[Plove23]

Would love for him to withdraw his name from the portal and play at wr here, he would ball out at wr

I feel he would have too

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

SIAP but was it ever confirmed who the team was that was paying players to delay portal entry to stay on the team so they’d have enough to play in the CFP? I know some were speculating yesterday if that was us or not….

 

[Plove23]

Can he do that here please? We need it lol

Lol, he came in as WR but I guess they saw something different

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Waking up 2 days later still pissed we got bent over and shown the 50 states. Hate that we have to now sit all off-season and listen to every non-Tennessee fan laugh at us. Wish we had put up even an ounce of fight.

 

[Midas]

Unc, talk to him and the coaching staff let em know what’s up lol.

Just playing around not trying to pressure you or anything. Tell Cam we’re all rooting for him no matter what he decides but wish he’d stay here.

G14 Classified info, lol. Naw i think he made a decision he feels is best for his future.

Their teams were watching us in a playoff game on their couch. **** what they have to say.

Lol, thanks my friend

I get and agree with what your saying. My issue is in the tougher games, he is VERY slow to change and adjust to what is not working. We waited till right before the half was over to adjust and play tighter. We got a few stops doing it. I do not think he is great at in game adjustments. BUT, we get better speed at LB and safety and we can do better. We need some top safeties.

Banks calls a game like an 11 year old playing Madden. He does not scheme in game. He does not look to set anything up. He doesn't anticipate certain plays. There is no "well timed blitz" or created pressure. If RGs guys aren't getting pressure on their own, Banks is toast. We need a Venables type DC and Heup will be fine

 

[csprig9]

Squirrel leaving lol
He will be about the 50th best wr in portal

What will also suck will be seeing other SEC teams win their bowl games. Teams like South Carolina and Florida will be pumped up big for next season.

I know most believe we’ll just promote Inge to DC if/when Banks leaves…. I’ve been intrigued with Gary Patterson the last few years. Have always like him and his defenses. He worked with Texas as a consultant a few years ago and then most recently under Dave Aranda at Baylor. Think he’d like to get out of the “consulting” roles and back into a DC/HC gig. His scheme and philosophy may not work here….

 

[Vols4us]

We are where we will be going forward without significant improvement in the staff, especially at the coordinator level. Somebody has to be the guy who can make in game adjustments and not forget what works. Which is exactly what happened in all three losses this season.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Some of you got your wish lol

What was this? Seems to be gone.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Oof

We're not that bad in Tennessee

Bama.. What is you doin?

Rane cutting them Yella wood checks. Probably got the cabin open for business

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Please - anyone but Georgia win the championship.

 

[Volsdeep4]

The Voltwitter faction of our fanbase makes us easy to dislike.

They do more harm than good.

Not true. Banter is good and what sports fans do. Every fan base does it. We just do it better

 

[knoxvol52]

Is Squirrel White really leaving or are individuals just throwing **** at the wall and see if it sticks?

 

[UTK]

This isn’t some revelation. Georgia has our number because they don’t have to load the box to stop our run game. OSU had five in the box daring us to run the ball last night and we couldn’t due to lack of push at the point of attack. This is always going to be the issue with this offense and why I have been hard on the OL all year. If you can’t run the ball your offense sucks. Develop your guys and stop portal shopping rejects who are not good enough to get to the NFL.

We didn’t try to commit to the run game against OSU. Sure part of that was because we got down by a lot so early and D Samp not playing, but I do wonder if we stop the bleeding if we just stay patient and run the ball. P Lewis looked like he was getting 4-5 yards a rush
