Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Seems more like a Mehlissa Etheridge kinda guy to me. I could also picture him dancing around in a bumble bee costume like that ginger girl in the Blind Mehlon video.

Butch is the Etheridge gal.

Because playing freshmen every year is the ideal situation...

Oh, so we're at this part of the roller coaster tonight.

Then, yes, would have liked to had a couple like Toto and Wright again this year but the core of the class is as good. Instant impact is always good but hope that it's not a "absolute need" again.
Solidify our current place, show improvement, get back in the conversation for the elites when we show them.

And maybe consistency is the next step, but imo if we dont get 1 of the big 4 next year is a failure

FTR, I predict we beat at least one of the four next year. It’s funny you said that.

Lol

We really don't have the talent to beat any of the 4 big dogs in Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida, or Alabama in 2020. And recruiting classes like this one doesn't change that. Gotta do better

Yes we do.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

It’s a good not great class with the close we’re about to have if Joseph and Washington.

Without those guys it’s just average. With it is a good class. We will improve with last years class and this years class. That improvement leads to more wins. More wins leads to better recruiting classes.

We haven't even played one of them close, Im not confident at all

 

[SweetasSoda]

Who do you think will be instant impact. I see 2 maybe 3 at best

We will have to wait and see. But the main thing is many will have an impact at giving us the depths we need to play four quarters. Some may even push for starting time. But moaning about nobody's going to come in and take over when they have not signed much less stepped foot on campus is borrowing misery.

Depth class means meh class

I was at Tuscaloosa, we played them tough. Bama fans were nervous in the 4th.

By the end of the year, this team was totally different than early on. I bet by next year we see more leaps forward. I’m more worried about Florida than I am Georgia. No idea what we will see with OU either (but I don’t care as much since they are OOC)

It’s the same rationalization as for the duds Butch trotted out his later years.

 

[volatil]

Steelers trading Dobbs was a bad move. That was an awful pass

Name the duds in this class so we have it on record.

 

[Aesius]

Ravens are gonna screw over the Titans again by resting Jackson in Week 17 giving the Steelers the wild card

F*** a duck. Man he sucks

 

[McGeesPub]

Speaking class as a whole.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I think you are right, but let’s not take this last 10 years for granted. I think it should humble all of us. We will also appreciate more when we are back where we belong.

Doubt that. Some are already being miserable that we may only win 8 games next year.

 

[LA Vol]

Need to close Washington. And we'll probably leave a few extra spots for NSD and see who's available. There will be a couple who won't sign this week.

Interesting that you do not feel like we played Alabama close.

You mean guys like toot and Wright who at this point last year none of the people complaining right now thought we had a chance to land? Those guys? Interesting.

 

[Jack Burton]

It is an underwhelming class as it looks today. However, after the first two losses it looked like we were trending for disaster. The staff basically stopped the bleeding of their own self inflicted wound. You have to decide if they get credit for that or not, but I’m just glad we’re not in the middle of a coaching search.

 

[VflPT22]

If we add Washington, baron, Joseph, perry, and Whitehead this week that would be good for 11th in the country with 23 commits..we will add 3-4 more prospects too..it’s a solid class..sure we would like to have had a couple but the sky isn’t falling and I don’t think the hardy recruitment is over either

 

[UTMVol76]

2017 class was an indication that Butch had lost the program. What should have been momentum had recruits running the other way. Those weren’t depth classes those were poop classes. This is a different situation, recruits need Pruitt to prove he can win. No one can deny he went a long way to proving that with this years turnaround. 2021 recruiting momentum (and how we close this year) should give us the answer.
