Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Butch Jones]

Whether MM stays or goes the coaches mishandled that and need to learn from it.

We all saw the trash on the field and they kept playing the same guys. Even when they were hurt.

Spin Zone: MM is such a bust that he couldn’t play over receivers that could barely walk.

 

[rocktopper16]

Heupel is in trouble. His friends and not developing players has caught up to him. MM should have been playing this year.

Nah, Heupel is good. Playing Mike wouldn’t have mattered when Nico was constantly under pressure.

 

[BigOrange15]

Staff did this to themselves if Matthew's leaves. Most talented receiver in the room other than maybe Thornton and couldn't sniff playing time over a dude that literally couldn't catch a ball and remain upright.

This could be said for every coach in the nation

It’s also been reported by numerous beat writers that he’s a hot head and very immature via actions and running his mouth. Which this recent turn of events all but supports that characterization.

Are we actually? Like who

I wish i could bud..but we don’t know for sure because Phillip Fulmer is back on the sidelines with a headset chewing gum not putting in freshman..but what I can tell you is they were decently ranked out of high school and we were all excited about them being here..up until they transferred…at least be fair about it.we never got to see them play…wether they were 5th on the depth chart or not…those coaches didn’t play the best WR this year..can’t deny that…so we will never know what they could’ve done here.

The bottom can fall out quickly in this new era.

 

[rocktopper16]

He wants a restructured contract for being WR1 next year. He requested papers in case it didn’t get done. /convo

Khalil McKenzie was highly rated in highschool. Not comparing people but coaches have reasons for not playing certain people.

Us sitting on the sideline overreacting about a true freshman is ridiculous lol

And herein lies the issue. It’s all about how it’s reported by the media and those claiming to know things. This is a lot easier to swallow than “he’s gone” or “he’s entered the transfer portal”. I mean I guess he technically has entered it, but he’s not actually walked.

 

[UTSuave’]

“Because Nico is back”

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA TOPPER STOP IT BRO…YOU DIDNT HAVE THAT INSIDE INFO EARLIER DID YOU?…..NO WAY. YOU DOG FAKE INSIDER STATUS

[PassedOutAwake]

Damn I forgot about that scrub. Who else we forgetting? Crouch also comes to mind

This would make total sense.

If true, the media should be ashamed of themselves for their reporting.

If true, given the developments this off-season, doesn't seem like an unreasonable request for MM as he would naturally be projected as WR1 next year.

 

[jave36]

Name one outside of White who actually mattered.

Matthews. But even without him, when you lose a ton of guys at one position,even if they're all backups, it makes you wonder.

JG and Milton were Brady and manning in practice..you seen how that went…khali in my opinion was playing out of position…we wanted him to be OL but khalil and his dad insisted on defense…if I’m not mistaken…

 

[UTSuave’]

What?

Weren’t you telling us earlier Nico was being poached by USC?..and everyone said it was bulls***…that’s my point in your reference “since Nico’s back”..or am I looking into this too much ?

 

[rockytop25]

I choose to believe AP and King…MM will be back next year

The media has no shame in their game.

True but we are talking about Tn. I bet other coaches makes some changes, lets see if Heupel does.

 

[volstudent26]

I hope so I’m not sold that he will be gone. But this is certainly troubling news and it makes me think as a fanbase we need to give the team more financial resources to compete at the highest level. Not matter if that’s a lot of small donors or some really large one

As a high school coach myself, I promise you guys, coaches are playing the players they can trust the most.

You are not going to intentionally not play a guy that you think can help you win

 

[Jackcrevol]

A program like TN should be like, or better than Florida, Auburn, SC, and equal to Alabama in terms of stocking skill players. There really is no excuse.

And we arent even close. That is inexcusable.
