Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[knoxvol52]

Don't jinx my Eagles, you all

Who you think wins League MVP?

Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson

 

[peaygolf]

It's funny..........

NFL play-off games are blow-outs and nobody whines.
CFP games are blow-outs and everyone has a "come-apart."

Correct, act like it's the end of time or something...

The numbers say Lamar, but Henry made his stats, easier to get. I think Allen did more for his team, but I can't call it

Nope. "God's Country" Cosby High School .

We used to play Cosby. Never forget riding to the game on the bus and several pickups with students were waiting on the side of the road to give us birds on the way in. Never seen my coach so mad before a game.

How do you know? You got a Crystal Ball or something..

How did you know?

My Crystal Ball ...

Maybe we’ll get them in a button down with a subtle twist. That’d be nice. I just think the black looks so sharp, glad to have them back the past couple years. I’m not as in love with the grey (and it kind of reminds me of butch - though I should add the Smokey grey mountain themed helmets are very nice and unique).

The new grey footballs were the best version imo.

I was hoping for a black with the script Vols.

I have no idea who I’m messing with, huh? Stay cold and collected like you, gangsta.

Ok

Saquan would've won it by breaking Dickerson's record ...

Today Eagles win, Love is banged up ..

And Watson

 

[peaygolf]

Correct, act like it's the end of time or something...

and it's a system that has a set criteria and seeding, that isn't "the best teams" get in...........and nobody complains.

 

[MarcoVol]

Is it?

Of course ankings will change, both up and down, but so far out of 8 commits, only 1 bluechip.

Obviously Faizon is a massive bluechip to have, but we need a whole lot more. It would help a lot if we could at least reach Penn St/ND level talent in the next year or two. Our scheme is good enough to make up the remaining gap.

The ranking showing Faizon as a 5* and everyone else 3* is 247’s own rating (which will also change). In the 247 composite, you have one 5*, three 4*, four 3*.

I could get down with that.

 

[butchna]

Ok

Expected more from you. You’re a dominant message board force of nature.

January 12, 1969

Full year before I was born, but I remember the stories about it when I was 5/6 years old...........
It's what I grew up with.

I watched that game in my college dorm with my buddies. Unbelievable upset win back then, David and Goliath.

In honor of the matchup today: Our very own, the Minister of Defense… Reggie White!



NSFW Version:



And here a picture of Reggie on a bicycle bc why not:

In general, Glen does the absolute bare minimum in recruiting. If we land someone, it’s generally because of some other reason. If we don’t land someone, people like to point to the OL coach not building relationships because that’s a reasonable thing to do.

The unfortunate reality is there isn’t a single person around the program that gives him a passing grade on recruiting, which is why all “insiders” say the same thing.

If that’s the case, why aren’t they doing anything? That’s pretty inexcusable, especially if the HC falls within that group.

Also, as always we appreciate you and your info. Keep it up!

and they say great golfers aren't athletes................

On the OL in the past two classes, we’ve landed a 5*, 3 4*, 3 3*, as well as Heard and the kid from AZ. That’s pretty good for a guy doing the bare minimum.

We’ve had to have the highest NIL offer on pretty much all unfortunately.

Pretty good, but could it be better? Perhaps that’s the point when they’re saying he does just the bare minimum. Imagine going full throttle, maybe we’d have 2-3 5*. Just a thought.

It’s funny that each generation is ultimately griping about their own ability as parents. Who’s ultimately responsible for teaching and training the next generation? Basically you’re saying I failed as a parent but it’s the lazy kids fault for not figuring it out on their own. The cycle continues.

And conversely each generation thinks their parents are dumb and out of touch with reality and have no clue what they are taking about so they don’t learn the lessons their parents try to teach them.

Heard was a 5* out of HS and we got him one season later
