Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[MarcoVol]

Just put pressure on that side and Davis folds easy = sacks

Then like I’ve said previously, they could pick on Ricky all night on defense…hope he’s ready on defense

Gonna need Nico’s A game.

Brother have you watched OU play? Their offense isn’t picking on anybody. And you don’t like Gibson?

Also the concern meter would actually register if Cooper was out. Not concerned with Heard being out. They’re gonna get some pressure at some point bc they have a good D and Venables will draw something up.

 

[TrippieRedd]

You may be the only person I’ve ever heard say that about Ricky Gibson. Most are very high on him.

Not saying he sucks.

Just know how it usually is for a freshman on the road.

If Trippie isn't high, there's a problem.

No doubt it’s a challenge, but communication for the D is actually much easier on the road. Athleticism ain’t an issue for Ricky and he should be in the right position more times than not. Really nobody has been tested on the back end thus far. I’m sure OU will try.

I’m not worried about how they looked previously.

Never said he sucked….I could have worded that differently. DB is one of the hardest positions to play, and for a freshman to do that on the road in their first road SEC game is a challenge, I hope he’s up for it, that’s what I meant.

Easier for them to take away our run game as well.

I don’t think they are capable of picking on anyone in the pass game.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Who in tarnation left the barn door wide open for the FF emotionalism to infiltrate this place?

 

[Glitch]

So Utu flips and Heard is out tomorrow. **** day for Tennessee.

 

[tnhunter 10]

 

[PassedOutAwake]

I’ve seen a lot of y’all questioning why Heard isn’t traveling. You have to remember that the road team is only allowed to travel 70 (if that’s still the number). Wouldn’t you want to save that spot for someone healthy?

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Dayne Davis is not elite but he has looked very solid so far this season. Looks like he's going to be an efficient player at the tackle position. I'll take that on a road game all day. I think we can manage being out 1 starter especially with this match up.

He’s fine but he’s a weakness at RT. OU’s D-Line is good. Losing our starting tackle isn’t great

[Weezer]

For those that care about where we finish in recruiting, losing Utu will hurt our chances at top 10. I'm more concerned about him being a position of need IMO. Supposedly he wants to play OT, but he has the opportunity to be an elite OG IMO.

 

[UTK]

It is concerning that he didnt travel with the team.

If they knew he had zero chance to play, what’s the reason to bring him?

 

[clt_tiger]

This feels like a game thread with all the hand wringing. Don’t matter, Vols by Fiddy.

 

[franklinpence]

We will win with Davis

FYP

there are still 3 months to ESD, then 1.5 to NSD. our young guys got three games in in '24. Frustrating is its Y4 and we dont have a great backup at T, going into meat of the schedule.

Nothing we can do about UTU, KingVFL says it was known. Closer to Oregon staff.

We beat oklahoma tomorrow

 

[engineerVOL]

That Illinois back did not get the first down.

 

[drvenner]

There’s a 20k wait list for season tickets. Guess what is going to continue happening to prices until that number dwindles down?

If you have a limited product with a demand that exceeds your current capacity who should continue to increase your price until the demand equals your capacity.

Don’t like the prices? Don’t pay them.

Please pay these prices and please pay no more

 

[drvenner]

I love it. The price of having an elite program. Some of yall need to study supply and demand. Some of yall wanted to be an elite program but didn’t want to pay the price it seems. Welcome to the no longer amateur world of college sports. Glad Tennessee is making its place among the elite.

You're fine to love it and pay whatever it's worth to you. Just cut folks some slack who are lamenting about how expensive it has become. I completely understand supply and demand. Does not mean I have to like it

 

[Weezer]

Glad this kid didn't go to UGA.

 

[BabyGirlVol]

Is Dayne a walk on

 

[drvenner]

I still think you’re wrong here. We will continue to pay. Things will change sure, but the thing that won’t change is the amount of UT fans going to football games.

I predict it will. Some fans are going to get priced out. Also, be ready for corporate sponsors pals getting tickets echo just want to be there but aren't necessarily VOLS fans.

Was…on scholarship since 2020.

He's done nothing thus far to suggest he's a weakness lol. We will find out against the Sooners at the end of the day. Hope he plays well
