Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Theshag]

To be fair to Tee how do you sell to a WR recruit to come play at Tennessee right now. Our QB position is a hard sell to a kid who wants to go to the league and be a 1st rounder. We do have a few bumps in the road right now.

The recruits may actually love some of these coaches but WR position would be a hard sell right now.

If I'm looking to come into the SEC and make a name for myself, I would come to Tennessee. The QB situation might be up in the air, but we aren't Kentucky, we are dedicated to throwing it every game.

We lose Jennings and Calloway this year, so why not come in and try to fill those shoes?

Can’t think of anyone more deserving of an individual award. Good luck, JJ.

So how man WR recruits have signed on so far

I still like Frost too. He’ll get all the time he needs to get it turned around and I expect him to do it. Will be cool to see Nebraska back near the top. Need Miami and USC back up there too. CFB just doesn’t feel right without the historic programs duking it out.

Southern Cal should be dumped into the ocean

Or this one?

Frost's success at Nebraska is going to be determined completely by how bought in, and how much patience the Administration, boosters and fanbase are at Nebraska. It could be an interesting case study on the corrosive effects of bloated expectations.

I think that he can build something there, but it will take time, and it will take everybody there adhering to the Fulmer doctrine...Everybody rowing the same way.

This will be interesting. I think in today's world the coaches are not given enough time to really get the program going.

In Tee’s defense, here’s how I imagine a recruiting pitch goes right now for any top WR...

Pruitt: ”Son, you’re one heckuva dadgum good football player aight.”​

​

Recruit: “Yes, sir! I believe I’m the best recei...”​

​

Pruitt interrupting: “Son, you ever thought of playing DB?”​

​

Recruit: “Well, I played there in middle sch...”​

​

Pruitt interrupting again: “You come to the dadgum University of Tennessee aight, and I’m gonna make you the best dadgum defensive back in the country aight.”​

​

Recruit: “Well, I need to go talk to my mom and my coa...”​

​

*Pruitt flashes NC rings*​

​

Hypnotized recruit: “Yes, sir. I’d love to play DB for you and coach Ansley aight.”​

I think you've been listening in on those recruiting sessions.

"PLAYED" in what league

Being in active rosters and actually taking snaps in regular season games is legit. Idc if it’s 1 or 1000. It was a dumb comment and assumption with no basis.

 

[HankHill]

People questioning Tee's performance on the recruiting trail or as a coach is valid, whether I agree with it or not.

It's the one's insinuating he's dumb, lazy, or any other stereotypical sometimes thinly veiled racist comment that I have an issue with.

Our WR play is better this year than it has been in a few years. His track record speaks for itself with WRs. He’s also playing a major part in developing our offensive gameplan.

I don’t follow recruiting so i can’t speak on that but if you want to look at individual position groups that have been less than impressive this year, Sherrar, Johnson, and weinke are the big 3. I really don’t think it’s debatable.

How are y’all spending your bye week Saturday?

I’m going hiking with my old man in Savage Gulf. Not sure how many more chances I’ll get to go on adventures with him.

And thank you, Veterans. May we all live our lives like it’s something worth fighting for.

Yesterday @Ulysees E. McGill inferred that he was lazy and dumb

He should take that as a compliment. Because @Ulysees E. McGill .

Cliff notes?

JG: "I was having a really hard time getting it. But Coach Pruitt and I had a long conversation about it and after some personal reflection I feel like I finally get it".

 

[Pepe]

NFL, esp NFC is boring. Most all professional sports have gotten that way. Tennis notwithstanding.

If it wasn't for fantasy football nobody would watch the NFL. It really is kind of boring.

I will be deep in the deer woods after a few of the target bucks i've gotten on my trail cameras. The rut should be starting up any day now in West TN so hopefully ole big boy will give me an opportunity at putting some backstraps in the freezer!
