Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[utkevdawg1]

So sorry to hear this.

St. Jude’s is a great place for her. They do miracle work.

Agree. My wife has been a long-time supporter of theirs and when we started dating I learned a ton and started supporting too. Even though I have guaranteed entry into the Chicago Marathon through work, I'm raising money for St. Jude instead because I believe in their work and it is a good catalyst to fundraise for them.

Praying for Ellie and her family and for your daughter as well @drvenner

NOOOOO. Dammit. I know it says projected back but this feels like an ambitious timeline.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Thank goodness guys comeback faster these days

We won't have him ready for UGA I don't think ugh

Thank God we have some death. Jalen McMurray is another guy we forget and I thought he was fine.

Just need Jermod back by Bama. DANG IT

 

[VolGee4]

No. The best timing would have been sometime last year. He might make it back by Nov or Dec, but he won't be 100% in 2025.

Depends on the person, but if he doesn’t have setbacks, I think they will target September 13 against UGA. Amari Rodgers came back in 6 months at Clemson.

We have some death?! I sure hope not

Good news imo. With another easy path to the playoffs next season we don’t need to go installing a new defensive scheme and it has improved every year he’s been here. Another year with Gibson, McCoy, Boo and we should see an improved secondary

Agreed and our defense was elite until pili got hurt.

Planting your feet, twisting/turning, and tracking the WR has to be a lot harder on the knees than a WR running a route with one cut in it.

That’s just the opinion I’ve made in my head. Trying to play out different scenarios in my head. Lol

You’re probably right though.

 

[Weezer]

Sure seems to be quite a bit of pissing and moaning on this here site lately.


Go buy a new fishing rod, get ready for those crappies to start biting good in March. Enjoy life instead of screaming at the clouds...

I don't have the patience for fishing.

And some deaf!

Death to the SEC while I'm at it.

Will Brooks was in a tie for 2nd most INTs in SEC with 4. Lead the SEC in INT return yards with 152, tied for 2nd in SEC in INT TDs with 1

2nd on team in total tackles with 59, 3rd on team with pass deflections at 5 and his 4 TFLs were highest of any secondary player on the team as well.

SEC stat rankings as a team we finished the year 5th in completion % given up 58.8%, 5th in completions given up a game with 17.2, 5th in passing yards given up per game with 189.3, tied for 2nd fewest passing TDs given up a game at 0.8

And only 3 teams threw for over 250 yards against us on the season, (all 3 were losses too) Arkansas with 297, Ohio State with 317, Georgia with 347 all 3 games were all true road games as well.

I'm not sure what your definition of terrible is, but it's wrong.

You forgot to mention we beat Alabama

That’s crazy. I remember growing up there was a lot of street racing in my area. Very rural and very little traffic so wasn’t really putting others in danger. Anyway we would all talk about who had the fastest cars. Guys would have like a 72 nova with a 400 small block and we thought it was FAST, then they would go to the track and run an 8.40 1/8th mile

Things have sure changed

Its crazy man. Electric motors are like a "cheat code". I know it will get around a road course track faster...but its gotta suck for the super rich to pull up at a stoplight in their Ferrari or Lamborghini (or at a 1/4 mile track) and get teased by the guy next to them in the same Tesla Model S that his wife gets groceries in, drops the kids off at school etc...because it will flat outrun their half million dollar exotic car in a straight line. Its also less than $100k brand new. We don't have to worry about cars going all electric though...despite the ignorant laws passed in CA mandating them, we don't have even half the power plants or electrical grid in this country for that to happen. It takes 3 or 4 decades and miles of red tape to even bring 1 new nuclear reactor online in this country too...so that's not gonna change any time soon.

It doesn’t take 3-4 decades, lots of red tape. Not 3-4 decades though.

Thanks for this research. You're on fire today! Another good post. To have 4 picks and be 2nd on the team in tackles in the SEC is amazing. The rest of his stats are really good as well. Hard to believe he didn't win the award as best walk-on player in the nation. Maybe he wasn't eligible this season?

Wth man

 

[Adam Sandler]

Boom?

Continuity! I’m for it. Just adapt and don’t play man against uga and osu.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

@drvenner

What do you call a broken can opener ?

A can’t opener



yes: it's lamer than normal, but drvenner is going through a lot

 

[DD4ME]

It doesn’t take 3-4 decades, lots of red tape. Not 3-4 decades though.

This was the last one built in 2024 in GA.
So 1.5 decades.

Vogtle Units 3 & 4 took 15 years to build and cost $36.8 billion, more than twice the projected timeline and cost. Vogtle independent construction monitors documented that Georgia Power provided materially false cost estimates for at least ten years, falsehoods used to justify expanding Plant Vogtle.May 29, 2024

Wth man

This will allow someone else a chance to get meaningful reps during the spring. We know what JM can do - hopefully he will be 100% come fall.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Banks is your average coach, his position group he coaches is awful. Rush 4 banks. Is what it is. Hopefully see some offensive changes. Bring in an actual OC and good OL coach that can secure talent. Receivers have also been awful

[Adam Sandler]

NOOOOO. Dammit. I know it says projected back but this feels like an ambitious timeline.

Major bummer. Might be back but hard to imagine he’d be as good or better after 8 months rehabbing. Hope he gets back to it asap.

Will need a corner to step up bigly until he can get back to his usual self...Got UGA week 3.

 

[DD4ME]

Apparently we are looking ahead

 

[Adam Sandler]

In equally good news

Does it mention position?

Edit: Breedlove a CB

It has a lot to do with location.

Shoot. Heck of a player and competitor. Get well soon, McCoy.
