Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[titansvolsfaninga]

Siap, thought this was funny.


The riskiest of the five-stars aside from Evans?
Harrison Bailey who signed with the Vols. Not only is the quarterback position inherently risky when it comes to five-star development, but Bailey has been on the radar since middle school and might be close to his ceiling. As we know with a lot of college quarterbacks, a lot will depend on how much help he gets around him, so the Vols skill position recruiting will be key. He should have a very good offensive line to work with moving forward however. Tight end
Darnell Washington is up there as well.

DW was timed at 4.5 40, but he looks slow and stiff.

Sounds like Rocker might be retiring

Hadn't heard that one. Interesting to say the least. Just have to think Pruitt is going to try and load up on solid recruiters with any and all openings.

I like it, let Pruitt coach every position and just hire recruiters.

Kidding of course

Where did you hear that? Just yesterday @Atlanta VOL said he was staying.

There's an even better scenario. Some are speculating that he takes an off the field role like Osovet had so that he doesn't have to recruit and can watch his son more. Would be the best of both worlds: we keep Rocker's coaching, but hire a better recruiter at that position.

Poster on VQ saying he’s taking an off field role to spend more time with his family but still coach and not have to recruit. Makes sense.

So are we thinking Bo Davis as a Rocker replacement? I've seen his name thrown around quite a bit.

That would be incredible.

I am happy with this scenario. I think he's a terrific position coach so definitely want him working with our guys. (@Bassmaster_Vol)

 

[UTSuave’]

That's what I thought, but someone said his contract runs through next year. If that's true, then the only one left is Rocker. But AV said he's staying. IDK

Chris.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

That would be incredible.

Absolutely. Really hope this turns out to be true. Makes sense since AV said he's staying.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

VQ says he's a grinder and a great recruiter. I've talked to some that believe if we have him we will land another elite RB next year so they are confident in his recruiting abilities as well. Lots of connections in NC. Should help us even more with Evans as well.

@de1conley doesn't like Jay G and says he sucks at both coaching and recruiting..so there is that. How you take that depends on your opinion of that guy.

AP strongly disagrees so who knows.

Tune will be different when we land about 6-7 four stars from NC

Graham is an above average coach and recruiter. It’ll be very fun to see how he and Tee will tag team on certain assignments. The former player card can work really well.

Rocker taking an analyst job and basically only working during the season makes a ton of sense. Gives him time to stay in Nashville for baseball season.

I still think Weinke is gone but I thought that last year too.

Bring in Bo Davis and Osovet and everything works out.

Does the all time commitment list for coaches on 247 not work anymore?

Horse poop is one of the least foul smelling poops there is. It’s science! Just sayin’

I strongly disagree also...I don't know what his problem with JayG is. I think the dude is a self important blowhard..so I don't really care much what he thinks, and I hate that he is any position to influence kids.

Ouch

Those numbers are fudged a little bit. Those 247 writers will make the coaches who give them the most info the “lead recruiter” on guys to inflate their ranking. Not always the case, but it happens a lot.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Ouch

Yeah...just being honest. I once liked the guy...a looooooooong time ago.

Technically you could say 2 years ago I was done....but definitely after rouge 2

edit:just realized everyone is talking about jay graham So now I’m caught still admitting my dislike for JG..don’t mind me
