Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Kingston Vol]

I feel like Rutgers is going to hire Moorhead then that Mississippi State opening is going to be interesting and could affect us in some way.

 

[SLICKYINC]

And adults are engaging in this behaviour? Weak sauce.

And players...

 

[chargervol]

That wasn't the first one The hit on JJ ar the goal line was more targeting than the one bituli was called for during the bammer game. Just be consistent with how it's called and I dont think anyone would have issue.

Agree but I didn't call it the first one. Said the first one was discussed.

 

[barrylee]

Here's the thing, who said he was calling his own plays and going rogue? I never heard Pruitt or the coaches say that...can't let the narrative by the outside the loop media paint you into an opinion that may completely be founded on unproven truths.

I don't get why some QBs get a pass for doing the exact same sort of thing JG has been accused of, Maurer forces throws or takes unnecessary risk running RPOs in ways that could be called selfish but he's "trying to win" or "playing with emotion" meanwhile JG is trying to do the same thing but he's "selfish" and "playing for himself"...what's the deal? The decision at Bama wasn't smart but it's a single instance. And I guarantee you JG making that decision had nothing to do with glory chasing, he probably assumed (like most people would) that running the same play that didn't work before was one they'd be ready for so he tried to do something different, and it backfired. But he made the decision trying to help the team win that game absolutely nothing about JG, the staff, or his teammates has even come close to making him out to be a selfish player.

He was trying to do too much, most QBs do that. Especially 4th year guys who are feeling the burden of everything wrong at UT on their shoulders. Once he learned to just trust his teammates that's when things turned around, but Jordan Rodgers (who in the same broadcast said his former teammate was a 4.7 or 4.6 guy, but actually ran a 4.46 laser timed 40 at the combine) trying to hammer home some axe he's grinding about JG being selfish just isn't a narrative I think we as fans should buy into.

Yep and Tom Hart I think that's his name is just as bad. I got sick of him bringing the Bama game up too plus was commenting on poor Barry Odom at his dream job and getting bad PI calls. They may be the worst pair..

I agree with you that Florida hasn’t done anything crazy but i think losing a QB and going through the season with trash, almost beating Georgia...that was a very good coaching job. That’s why i said i would put mullens season over pruitts. If we didn’t lose to GA state And BYU, Pruitt is hands down 2nd.

Pruitt has had an excellent 2nd half of the season, but you can’t give him a total pass for the start especially with the amount of players we returned from his 1st year.

You wanna compares Florida’s qb issue to ours and say they did a better job coaching in those circumstances?

TA&M got absolutely hosed by the officials yesterday. Some of the videos in this link are crazy.

Fans hammer SEC officials for questionable non-calls in Georgia-Texas A&M game

They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore with their protection of the playoff teams.

There is zero doubt in my mind if Oregon plays in the SEC they win yesterday.

Refs and the 'AA are ruining the game of football, period. They have made it impossible to play the game with their overuse and enforcement of the targeting rule and their well-placed, but poorly implemented, desire to protect the QB.

I understand their reasoning behind it, but it seems like every single game I've watched this season has had a MILLION flags thrown that has adversely affected the game, one way or another.

 

[Rishvol]

Sure. No doubt he’s a first round talent. I’m just assuming he falls based upon health concerns.

Whatever team wants him will ask the Tennessee team doctors what they're doing to "control" the clots. Then they'll ask experts and come up with a plan. He's proving this year that he can play with the diagnosis

 

[VOLNPA]

I'm fine with it...until you graduate college.

 

[chargervol]

@jakez4ut
Agree with you guys. Needs to be noteworthy or pulling off the unexpected. See nothing in Florida's resume' to suggest such.

 

[Ace]

Missouri is an example of an university who has got woke and is going broke.
After student protests a few years ago, enrollment has been down. Not a good school.

 

[SoilVol]

So I think Callaway goes in round 3-4. Trey 4-5. Bituli and Taylor 4-6 depending on testing. JJ maybe gets drafted and Warrior makes a team as an UDFA.

Should look pretty decent to have 4-5 guys get drafted. If that happens and we get off to a good start next year, we should have a monster recruiting class.

JJ should have a great combine and go in the 3-4th.

 

[volsagain]

I have bb for balls this year but would love to be good enough again to schedule games such as Michigan home/away instead of OU. This year however, if Gator is our place, I'd rather have ACC tie-in.....FSU come on down.

Or Miami

 

[VolsnCards5]

Yeah, I feel the same way. 8-4 or 9-3 would be very good results given what we lose.

We need a win over a major rival sprinkled in there somewhere too.

I feel like Rutgers is going to hire the intern and it’s gonna affect us in some way

By making us laugh so hard it hurts

Petty Pettway.

Are the Titans beating the Jags today?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Coach Pruitt gets a raise an extension this year, deservedly so. How much and for how long?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

ESPN projecting us to play either Penn State or Mich in a bowl. Yes please!!

What’s he make now?

Dear God

 

[engineerVOL]

Are the Titans beating the Jags today?

The game will look exactly like Tennessee-Mizzou. Where Titans get up and could easily run away with it but trip over their own feet giving the Fighting Kahns a chance. I’ve got Titans winning because Jags are quitters

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Penn State would be a blood bath. Give me Michigan, though.

 

[InVOLuntary]

What’s he make now?

I think around $4M. @LA Vol would know.

I read $3.846M.

Losing that QB is the only reason Mullen did as well as he did. Don't think FF would have done as well.

 

[SoilVol]

Would be nice to beat James Franklin

 

[WriterVol]

math doesn’t add up At all

I just went back and checked. There was 1:50 left on a running clock when he snapped on 1st and 10. Three 40-second play clocks ends the game.

It was dumb to run a play.

I was thinking it was more than that. Definitely wouldn't add up under two minutes. I dunno.
