Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[85SugarVol]

YES! STAR TALK! I LIVE FOR STAR TALK! BEFORE I DIE I WILL REGRET ONLY ONE THING...THAT I DID NOT READ MORE STAR TALK!!!

You rather discuss how awesome the IN-STATE class for 2021 is shaping up to be?

I think it’s only That underwhelming bc this staff has been branded as the best recruiting staff in the nation. So when you pair that with our results vs the good teams then i think it seems worse than it actually is.

There’s a chance ,albeit a slim one, this class could include an elite QB prospect so that helps. I do wish we could’ve pulled one big time WR in this class like a Mecole Hardman, Jerry Jeudy etc. i know that’s wishful thinking but we finally have the OL and hopefully the QB to let someone like that eat.

Jimmy Calloway and jalin Hyatt are in the same mold as those WRs. Not as elite because hardman and jeudy are two of the best WRs in a decade, but these guys have top end speed and were productive. Hyatt dominated very good competition here in SC

I like Calloway’s film more than Hyatt’s. I’m glad it looks like we’re gonna hold onto him.

We need both though. Good gets.

I do too. I just don’t know what kind of competition Calloway is going against. He definitely looks like the more dynamic player

You lost a bet? You cheated on your wife or something?

I just hate myself.

Sorry in advance for the golf question, but does anyone know how the pairings are made in the international match play competitions like the President's Cup? Is it a blind draw or do the captains decide who plays each other and so on?

 

[Batman1948]

Pray for me yall. I have to eat my mother in laws cooking tonight

I'm glad you finished that sentence with cooking

Captain's picks.

Just booked my room in Norman for September. Go damn Vols

My mother in law lives in OKC and it's just gonna be a 2 1/2 hour drive for me. Can't wait.

 

[Batman1948]

I'm so sick of their cheating and getting away with it.

I don't think they're getting away with this one. They will have a scapegoat lined up though.

One captain choses his team/player then the other captain selects his team/player. Alternates between captains. Ernie chose then tiger for first match. Tiger then Ernie for second match.

Jimari Butler committed to Nebraska.

Not Tennessee orange, blah blah blah... these bad boys are gonna be on my feet in a matter of days and y’all are gonna have to deal with it View attachment 246069

But, we're a NIKE school now . I don't buy anything, or wear anything, with that check mark on it. That shoe does look nice.

I’ll take your word for it. I’ve learned not to put any stock what so ever into these camp 40 times and things recruits have. Those Top elite SEC WR prospects are usually bust proof. The last few years have been absolutely money for those guys.

Hardman
Juedy
Ruggs,
Devante Smith
Aj brown
Jamarr chase
Terrance Marshall
Calvin Ridley
Preston Williams

Only really busts has been
Tyrie Cleveland (bust)
Tyronn Johnson

 

[Jack Burton]

Yep, I think we'll see some staff changes.

Time to upgrade! Hope we can hold on to Niedermeyer for another full cycle.

 

[chargervol]

It is interesting, and I think the numbers probably hold true to this day.

Where I feel people may take these numbers too literally is...they take them as a whole and don't take the time to look at other information too.

I could very well be wrong. I honestly haven't researched it either. It just seems to me that those numbers aren't being looked at hard enough. How many of those 3*'s went to fcs schools? The overwhelming number I would guess. How many went to low tier fbs schools? Still the larger number I would guess.

The true answer to the question (imo) lays in the question...what is the percentage of 3*'s that make the big time that come from P5 Schools?

Yep, the 3star rating is basically all encompassing. Obviously there's a huge difference in a Tulane vs a Bama 3*. But you also often see the bump to 4 after the established team takes serious interest. Do they suddenly become better players? Of course not. But services know to keep from looking like idiots, they need to listen to the real evaluators.

Pruitt puts enough in the league from TN, he'll get the same treatment. His players will be bumped. And when the same exact kind of class gets rated higher, some will be glad that he "finally learned to recruit better".

Of course Sleegro is correct that some are just painting this as a 3* class and intentionally glossing over all the 4 stars, anyway.
"Interesting".

 

[HankHill]

Yep, I think we'll see some staff changes.

Sherrar, weinke, and DJ are the ones I’ve heard will be leaving/replaced.

 

[chargervol]

Even though we go thru this every year, at least it's mostly the same names in this thread, just doing their annual.

Now, the number of randoms in the Washington thread telling "what's really going on"...holy helz.

 

[bignewt]

good lord man, two things you never want to see, together!

 

[Batman1948]

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.

A couple of guys who are already committed to us?

 

[Volator]

Rumor was Sherrer to Arky as DC? What about the others?
