Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[marcusluvsvols]

Am I the only one who thinks next year feels more like a rebuilding year rather than the "year we put it all together"? At least half the OL will be new. Jenkins announcing he's entering the portal today makes me question the DL even more. Still think we need safety help and no truly proven WRs IMO. A QB can't really be great without a support system around him, and I question the support we're giving Nico next year.

Definitely.

Unless we go OMiss in the portal...which we arent gonna due to 5 young WRs that in time will be very good...the vegas o/u for wins next year will be 8 or 8.5. This year was 8.5. I think next year its 8. We will likely go 9-3.

Mashack back on the floor was waiting for the "oh no he is injured post" ..

Because I told you.

last thing that was said before a man got his ass whipped

Nah I think it’ll be a rebuilding year. I think 9 wins is our floor, maybe 8 if OU gets better in the offseason. But given where we’ve been the past 10-15 years, I’m perfectly fine with a “rebuilding year” meaning we only win 9 games.

Wow. Nico is a baller.

Wow. Nico is a baller.

I didn't realize he cracked 2 helmets.

yall see that article with the OSU players talking about how the defensive staff and scout team knew everything about us?

Oof.

Lol, hell what is there to learn?

I'm just about to fire off an email to Barnes.

As a high school defensive coordinator there have been several games that i knew 100% of the plays the other team were going to run based on personnel and formation. Some times we stopped them other times we didn't. It all comes down to the players. If the other team has better players there is nothing you can do to stop them.

It just comes down to the fact Tennessee didn't have the players to beat Ohio state.

Heupel hasn't forgotten how to call his offense. He 100% still has everything form 22 in the playback he just doesn't have the dudes to run that.

The offense has adapted and evolved. It's just been focused on the run game. Year 1&2 it was all mostly inside zone. Now it's a ton of gap scheme stuff.

Good post. Thanks

if we lose to MTSU, this will be up there for worst sports weeks of the 2020's for us

 

[InVOLuntary]

No Steve Hamer tonight

Bert does mostly the home games. He's backing away a little.

I'm just about to fire off an email to Barnes.

We're really missing Cameron Carr tonight.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

MTSU cannot miss from 3. Vols trail by 6 at the half.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Im sending it.

 

[JCVol00]

Have to think the team might not be focused tonight given the Cameron Carr situation

 

[knoxvol52]

Vols playing like they have already been drinking the egg nog.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Halftime

40-34 not us

We better never hear about Bruce's loss.
This would be worse by far

Go home Vandy...... You're drunk!

would make me think there are locker room issues at play with Carr's departure for sure

 

[Jimmy Football]

I guess we flew close to the sun.

My initial thought was.... Carr is leaving so we could find a player for the stretch run.
Now, maybe there are issues. Who knows
