Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[MoCo_Vol]

Still a year, or two, away? Maybe but if we continue to recruit at this level, we can be a realistic topic of conversation...

Blue-Chip Ratio 2020: The 15 teams who can win a national title

Looks like we'd be in the mix for next year if they only count the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 classes. Nice to see what Pruitt is building, and of course more proof Georgia is majorly under performing.

Anyone else having a real tough time getting excited for football?

Maybe I’m not optimistic that it happens, or it will just be a shell of its former self. But everything else going on really deflates any real joy I have in it. The gleeful anticipation just isn’t there for me.

Maybe I should stay off Twitter. My hope for humanity is at all time low. Somebody pick me up.

Was he his coach?

Yep, freshman through junior years. Then when Mullen left for MSU, they brought in Scott Loeffler to help clean up his mechanics.

I still remember the graphic where they freeze-framed him throwing the ball his freshman year versus his senior year. Exact same delivery. Maybe the issue was Tebow, but given the fact that Mullen had three years to fix his throwing motion and didn't, I don't see that as a positive for Mullen.

Once DBs got film on him to recognize that once his windup began, you could break on the ball, he was done. Couple that with him reverting to holding the ball lower and reaching all the way back with it, not only did that slow his release but made him a fumbling liability in the pocket. He also





It's worth watching videos like this, and then watching Peyton, Brady, and Brees. They start into their release with the ball higher, their release is more compact, and there's no wasted motion. The ball comes out quickly (less time for DBs to break on the ball), it's only away from their body a short distance and for a short time (less time and opportunity for it to get knocked loose), and the release is high (less chance for it to get batted down, even for shorter qbs like Brees).

This is where consistent and competent coaching of qbs matters. By the time someone even bothered to correct this things with Tebow, it was too late. I also think it's indicative of what happened with Fromm. Not only did Georgia's play calling suck under Coley, I also wonder if Fromm lapsed into some bad habits that Chaney was in the process of coaching out of him.

Hey, I remember in our myriad off-topic discussions that there has been some recommendations on the TVs with Roku built in. Can y'all give me your thoughts on that again? There's the ONN, HCL, Hi-sense. I know they are not the marquis brands, but for the price, if they last a few years it's worth it.

Anyway, which ones have y'all bought and had great luck with? Thanks!

Got an Insignia (Best Buy brand) about 4+ years ago with built in Roku and it's been great. Actually our 2nd Insignia and never had a problem. For the price, tough to beat imo.

Yes, Bud just counts the last 4 years. Just need 13 out of 25 blue chips this class and we are in.

In the modern recruiting service era, we have never been a part of the club. That is crazy to think about.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I think we'll be a 7 or 8 win team this year pretty conservatively and that imo is enough to keep momentum going in recruiting.

Delete Twitter brother

Seriously. My word.

Gov. DeSantis in Florida just signed a bill allowing college athletes to earn money from endorsements starting next summer, as if recruiting needed to be easier for schools in Florida.

Yep I saw this live today at the U. I didn't know this but DeSantis was a former college baseball player himself. I'm sure he is all for this being a former college athlete himself.

Have a 4K Hisense with built in Roku. Performs much better than my brothers more expensive Samsung (don’t think his is 4K, but still). Can’t comment much on longevity, but been going strong for 2 years. Love the built in Roku.

Yep. I think that's how Mullen got his "QB Guru" title.

Also Alex Smith

Completed the BBQ tour in the BBQ capital of Lockhart, TX today. Tried Smitty’s, Kreuz, and Black’s. All three were phenomenal, but I did pick a favorite. It’s Black’s.

Being from Memphis, I’ve never had good beef BBQ but knew how good pork BBQ was. The authentic Texas beef BBQ was life changing.

This is the first I have seen about college programs suspending activities since we have come back from the shutdown.

In the mix next year, in the thick of it 2022.

Vols, b.

HB vs Salter - who will be starting in 2022?

I fully expect HB to light up the SEC so Salter will wait until 2023. I do plan to watch Salter play this year to get a better feel of his game.

Memorial Day spike is pushing the numbers back up. We should’ve just stayed closed til 6/1. But that genie isn’t going back in the bottle. Biggest thing now, is that we have testing capacity up. Hopefully health departments are up for the contact tracing part. Just wear your masks. Go vols.

Decided to drag the kayak out to clean it up a little.

An opossum got in the shed and pooped in it

This country needs a distraction in the worst possible way. Sports need to come back ASAP.

Big Cat on his PMT podcast did a takeover of Kenucky Sports Radio

He wore a UT shirt to let them know who daddy was

As soon as 1 power 5 team does this the rest will follow. Still think we will be lucky to get half of a season

I seen Houston is talking about going back on lockdown due to an enormous uptick in new Covid-19 cases.

The football season has a 85% chance of not finishing this year Prepare your anus...

I'm just glad to see southeasterners enjoying beef barbecue. I've had many arguments regarding the definition of barbecue. For many, it isn't properly called barbecue unless it is pulled pork with enough sweet sauce to choke a horse. My own definition is that whatever is cooked outdoors over an open flame whether it's pork, beef, dog, armadillo,or etc, it is barbecue. The sauce or lack thereof is completely up to the cook.

You try to bbq a dog in the South? We’ll send you back to China in the boat you snuck in on.

We have a TCL 43" in the bedroom, and I'm really happy with it. It was right at $200 with tax, good picture, no lag... it does randomly forget to connect to the internet on rare occasions, but really great for the money.
