Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Another straight up troll I no longer have to engage with

Just scroll on past my post. No need to get personal..

Sure the Nico party is using it as an excuse, but so did several qb’s who turned us down. It’s obvious we have problems at ol and especially wr

How is it obvious? Unproven doesn’t mean bad.

 

[JCVol00]

QB’s didn’t turn us down because of our WR’s and OL. Sorry.

TB and others have straight up said it but ok

 

[TN-POSSUM]

We should too.


If Nico wasn't fulfilling obligations we paid him for, then we should definitely try and get some money back. The kids/families are out of control and something needs to deter them from "stealing" in the future.

 

[JCVol00]

OL is unproven, im willing to see how they pan out. But wr, we have bad depth at. We cant even fill out a 2-deep with wr’s, and it’s not looking like we are going to pickup one in the portal soon

There needs to be precedent set in order to protect both school and player. How that happens is beyond me, but something has to change and quickly. This is much like the Wild Wild West.

Employment contracts.

This has been known from the beginning.

Everything becomes crabs.

Anyone got a line on a receiver we are after?

 

[volbeast33]

He has been holding on for a long time.

Who's TB? Tom Barnhardt?

 

[VolGee4]

Don’t care. That’s not the reason. Common sense.

Hate to see it Mongo was a beast on football field and a great heel in WCW wrestling...

The WR's and O-line was not the problem last year. It wasn't the WR's or the line that killed these drives.
Whomever the next QB is he will be completely set up for success.

This season will be exciting and unpredictable. I am glad that Syracuse lost that DT to the portal and I hope their WR in the portal finds a spot that's not on our schedule. Should be an exciting kickoff game.

You aren’t getting playmakers around you to your liking in an offense that has been one of the best in America for the past 5 years.

So to fix that you go to a team that is projected to win 4-5 games with an OC who has never called plays with zero returning WRs and RBs who aren’t worth a darn.

Yeah I call BS on that.

Potato Cakes, onions or no onions ?

Don't listen to these narratives about the Clemson film unless you watch the entire tape. I posted it the other day. Joey had minimal support from his line and recievers and they were down multiple touchdowns and playing behind the whole game. He never sat in the pocket and waited for a sack. He moved around and he made some plays. Kid is better than the haters will tell and not as good as the sunshine pumpers.

Pros-
Lots of experience
Appears to play hard even in bad games
Eludes pressure
Can run a little

Cons
Not as strong an arm as we have had recently - may matter on splits
Ints
So little prep time

Go watch the NC game last year---Big bad NC

The game went to double OT and the App State receiver got mugged on the play that ended the game

Potato Cakes, onions or no onions ?

Onions, yes.

I trust Joey, but Nico lol

He better be taking online classes at UT before he arrives at UCLA

 

[Jimmy Football]

Potato Cakes, onions or no onions ?

Yes, but be judicious.

yes!

 

[Jackcrevol]

We tried hard

twss

 

[Batman1948]

the Arky/Madden news makes me feel more confident that Nico's camp tried to play hardball on a bigger number and front-loaded guarantee from Tennessee in December, with the UCLA plan being the play for them the entire time

Madden flipped from UCLA to Arky at the last second, presumably for a bigger bag. it wouldn't surprise me if it was front loaded or came with a guarantee and they bolted as soon as the check hit

probably would have done the same to us

I'll be curious to see if Arkansas has a case to claw back money or waste the Iamaleavas' time/money in court

Depends on the contract wording
