Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Bracket should be a cruise to an elite 8. Easiest overall draw I’ve seen as a vol fan ever. Kentucky ain’t making it past round 2 but even if they do, they aren’t that good and hell would freeze before they beat the same team 3 times. Neither second round opponent exactly put fear in me. Houston is by far the best matchup for 1 seeds besides Auburn for us (which was never gonna happen anways) But that’s not how March works always, can’t get caught slipping
Utah State and UCLA are easily better than Texas was last year.

If we play UCLA, it will not be an easy out. The team will need to come ready to play (we should win). We make it past them, I seriously think we'll get to the Elite 8 to play whomever.
 
Maybe but I find it hard to believe it’s a drastic difference either way.
I've just watched them all. UCLA, better coach, more talent, good big man.

Utah St is elite elite offensively and are only a 10 seed, because they hate the MTN West. Like, Colorado St is a 12, but they're favored by Vegas against Memphis.

UCLA is a "Jekyll&Hyde" team. I watched them beat Michigan State at home and then watched them get destroyed in Big Ten Tournament by Maryland. One thing though, Mick Cronin loves defense it should be a battle. That's if UCLA beats Utah State...

Deion Sanders proposed the idea of teams practicing a couple of practices during the spring against someone else and then playing that team in some form for a spring game.

If that were to ever come true, who would you all like to see UT scrimmage? I would think many schools would stick to a FCS team.
 
Assuming that’s Ziegler’s brother and we have mutual interest ?
I’m assuming, not sure why he would say it randomly and there not be interest.

I find interesting, he doesn’t seem to have many games against quality competition so it’s hard to gauge how good he can be in this conference. I do wonder if that may be good news for RB coaching another season, no offense to the kid but I’m not sure many top schools would take him….I could be wrong though.

I would prefer us drop fcs games, replace with g of 5 team, and scrimmage an instate fcs program, maybe have combined practices a few times as well. Would make spring seem more entertaining
