Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I don't think the Chaz and Knecht comparison is fair to either player...totally different players imo. Chaz was unrated coming out of HS, but has been a 6'4" CG his entire career. His senior year he averaged 23 ppg and shot over 45% from deep. Was named a finalist for TN Division II-AA Mr. Basketball honors with Kennedy Chandler and BJ Edwards even. Helped take his HS team to state quarterfinals 2 years in a row.

But much like DK he had a different path to get to this level. 4 years at North Florida and for 3 years there he played 31 or more games and clocked 20mpg or more put in work to grow his game and now we're seeing it showcased. But that lethal quick release 3 was always in his arsenal.

DK on the other hand was 5'8" as a sophomore, 6'1" as a junior and 6'3" coming out of HS he continued to grow until he reached his current height of 6'6" and with all those changes likely just recently really got filled out and comfortable playing at his size. Like Chaz though dude is a hard worker and gym rat. I think athletically speaking Chaz is better, but DK has put in a lot of work to improve in that area.

I also think Chaz was able to adapt to Barnes defense quicker because at North Florida for the first few seasons that seemed to be one reason he was getting minutes. Cause he didn't really get the volume to put up big offensive numbers there until last season.

Happy to have both, and hope Chaz finishes just as strong in SEC play as DK did. Will make us a destination spot for talented portal players next year.
You think Chaz is a better athlete than Dalton? Really?
 


This dude paid a few hundred dollars for a Fawcett announcement in the portal...that just shows 4 schools including the one he is currently at. Lmao. I dont think we are even looking for a Corner. These guys sometimes post the Power T just trying to drive the price up IMO. Has happened ever since Nico got that contract. Wouldnt be surprised if that is news to UT...because they have had zero contact with this kid whatsoever.

How is he using us to drive up price when we are not active at all and already lost a portal kid bc we didnt pay?

Nico: 213/344; 63.8%; 2,616; 19 TD, 5 int; sacked 28; 358 rush (3td); 70.6 QBR (36th)

Joe: 229/354; 64.7%; 2,813; 20 TD, 5 INT; sacked 16; 299 rush (7td); 70.1 QBR (33rd)

Pretty crazy how similar of seasons they had
Pretty similar. Nico had 13 games to Joes 12 tho. The rushing numbers are the biggest difference. Nico was sacked 12 more times yet still had 60 more rushing yards
 
I don't agree. I've seen a lot of athleticism from Dalton in the NBA. Very fluid and drives well to the basket. He's definitely more than a 3 point shooter.

Yeah, DK has continued to improve himself. But to clarify I was comparing Chaz right now to where “DK 14 games in at UT” was not DK 30+ games into his NBA career.

No I didn’t say that in my OP, but just clarifying I was comparing them to each other at same point with UT. Cause DK game 1 last year was less athletic than DK in March.

JMO, but the Titans should either trade back or take Travis Hunter with the first pick. Either sign a veteran QB or trade for someone like Hendon and give him a chance. It's possible Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are successful in the NFL, but I don't think either would find success with the Titans.
