Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Jimmy Football]

Practice is the most over rated thing in sports.

“No question.”

- Allen Iverson

Nope. But he does my neighbor and some of the information put on here by AV does not line up with what I’ve been told. JG is 100% Pruitts call and he says it wasn’t. Either Pruitt is lying to AV or I am not sure who he got that info from. Also, saying Bailey isn’t the savior we think sounds like comments from a terrible coaching staff trying to downplay Baileys talent because Pruitt is playing the wrong QB. Every time we have seen Bailey he has moved the ball down the field and even scored. He is our best QB by a mile and our gump head coach wants to make excuses for his bad decisions.

If you notice a few things notice this.

I posted AV was connected and could manipulate the board per connections in a post about carrying his water. He thank me.

Another poster said something along the lines of the same thing and AV said first, you are perspective and later was not sarcasm. The post the other poster made was why don’t you tell us how you really feel.

He has real info but is tightly connected and will try to make things look better. In other words, certain folks are watching him and telling him at times what to feed us. He even said one time he was told to watch what he posted about the QB’s and practice.

Just some perspective this morning.

Ainge is calling for HB to finish the season. He may have before and I missed but I do know he’s been pretty unwavering in his support for JG.

He will need to write an apology letter to JG for that comment.

Nick Saban has a losing record vs Iowa.

Good thing Butch is on staff now

 

[jpope9]

Nick Saban has 1 win in 5 tries against Purdue.

eww, dont want!

 

[Kingston Vol]

Part of me thinks this can still get turned around. Maybe just hope and not wanting to go through another search.

If you told me everyone wanted to put in the work to fix it, I’d agree.

But my fear is the team has checked out and the staff will start to find other jobs.

 

[RikidyBones]

Distancing himself from the inevitable.

Yes but Ainge has been a massive cheerleader for JG. And I got it prior to this year. He's been a tough kid. He's also took care of the ball and that did have value over potential freshman mistakes. But it hasn't been the case lately. JG can't perform like that and expect to not sit the bench. His leash has been waaaaaay too long. It's time.

 

[JacketVol]

So @JacketVol @LA Vol @MetalVolunteer @de1conley with us starting to miss out on key highly rated recruits (Post Auburn game) do you think Fulmer is paying closely attention to this? And do you think he may make a move barring anymore damage to the class?..because I feel like these next 3 games are the tipping point to this board and the fans losing their s**t!..regarding both of your opinions what would your thoughts be if that does indeed start to happen!..what’s your move?

I want to hire Freeze but don’t have the F U money.

 

[InVOLuntary]

If you’re against hiring Hugh, does that make you antifreeze?

Find out Saturday night. I didn't think effort was an issue against Auburn.

I do think the team has seen enough of jg...

 

[pismonque]

So you know him in person? And no Peyton wouldn’t have any reason to call me. He does call people I know frequently.

I don’t mean to butt in here and flex but I’ll just throw this out there:

I don’t know Peyton personally but I do know people who know people who do.

That's why he's distancing now....?

He knows.

Well he can't really argue for JG anymore. It's really hard to argue.

I met Peyton in a bar on the strip one time many moons ago.

Perspective

 

[SLICKYINC]

Power of social media, the mob got to the AD and they told him to chill out.

People forget how controversial him touching the players were.

People forget how soft today’s society is.

Practice is the most over rated thing in sports. It’s a time to perfect your craft not show the things you’ve already perfected. If you coach and your players aren’t making mistakes you either aren’t pushing them to pass their abilities or the practice is completely controlled which is why you get terrible results.

Hence why JG is a great practice player and awful in games. Practice is completely controlled and everything goes right to script. The game is off script 100% of the time, which is why he’s completely lost.

That what Tim Priest said yesterday, its why JG is serviceable at the beginning of games, its scripted. It only in 2nd half, without the script where JG cannot compute.

Haha moons.

Hugh Freeze has never beat Florida, Kentucky,South Carolina or Missouri

 

[scvolfan7]

I seriously wonder if all the preseason contact tracing and forcing healthy players to miss practice didn't just piss Pruitt off to the point of just not caring about this year. The comments that he's made about not wanting to put HB into harms way and all of the young guys not getting any playing time is his way of protecting them because they weren't able to practice and get ready like Pruitt wanted.....

Longstory short, Pruitt just said "to hell with it" in September when 40 guys were missing from practice and he's never recovered because the team is behind the 8-ball.

Then he should still be fired. Everyone had to deal with this stuff. He’s not getting paid to have a temper tantrum

 

[Batman1948]

I know people who can call Peyton too, they don’t post here or know anything more than me. And if the university would handle their affairs correctly I would have no problem donating to them again.
Just because I could make a 6 figure donation each year doesn’t mean I need a bunch of people on a message board to carry water for me. Just like I question him, how would you ever know what I do or don’t do financially? I can say whatever I want here just like you and everyone else.

Not true---Freak has a law about talking politics on here---so there's that

 

[pismonque]

To be honest, Peyton and I were really close once, but only very briefly: we bumped into each other at the Hodges Library.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Ya know what annoys me the most. Of all the seasons when you can "get away" with starting an unproven freshmen QB, this was that season. Even before we lost 5 straight.

1. COVID issues = limited reps = gotta see what we got
2. no burning eligibility IT'S A FREE ******* YEAR OF ELIGIBILITY!

and then 3 came along "we're out of SEC championship contention"
