Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Orangeburst]

Don't forget T-rob, Daryl Dickey, Jeff Powell

JP was the fastest man on the field on that sideline run.

They conveniently left that out of The U documentary.

Yes, they did and it's one of my favorite 30 for 30's. But, not one word about that beatdown and they had a chance to share another National Championship. Conveniently, is an understatement, imo

Yessss F CLEMSON

 

[Smokeytom]

Skalski is Clemson's defensive MVP. He was rated a 3-star 85 out of GA. #680 national player.

What in the world do they inject Clemson players with? It's almost hard to believe how they never seem to have a bad player despite not recruiting all-world until the last couple years. They basically recruited like us until then and yet they have been on a completely different world (from everyone but Bama) on defense, skill, trenches, not just at QB.

Pretty simple really. Good evaluations. Good development. Good coaching. And individual work ethic by the kid.

No Mike’s Secret Stuff needed.

Nice

Being in the field just makes things feel differently don’t they?

That perspective is awesome

It is so loud down there. We were on the 35 yard line opposite of the T, but that rumble when they run through it is unforgettable.

Lawrence will struggle in the pros. Just my 2 cents.

 

[Smokeytom]

Lawrence is going to be a stud at the next level. Y’all are losing it.

 

[PYSCHO]

I was in ROTC at UT that year and was the Color Guard Commander. I presented colors at about half of the games. I missed the Sugar Bowl because I was in Panama with my Reserves unit. I got to see it the next night on AFRTS. Still probably my favorite season ever.

Was in school in Boulder Colorado and my grandfather had a heart attack day of the game. He lived in Chattanooga and they took him to hospital. Talked to him on the phone before they took him back to put in a pace maker in him. I was on the way to the airport to fly back to be there and he said come after the vols win tonight over Miami. True story and a great man. VFL for sure he was.

We just having fun. Really who knows? NFL GM picks are a crapshoot.

 

[Memphisvol87]

All watching these games does for me these days is remind me how drastically different our team looks. Not in a good way. We fall further and further from the elite each year it seems. What in the world are they doing at UT?

The gap is closing.

 

[Devo182]

It's the head coach, man. It won't change until that changes.

Yup I'm sick of these "It'S tHe BoOsTeRS" and it's the fans and it's the admin excuses when basketball is doing great. Baseball is on the up and up. On the way to reviving WBB. But apparently in football it's the boosters and admin not developing players, trotting an archaic offense out onto the field, can't coach how to defend a slant, etc...

IT'S THE COACH.

He’s got all the tools. He comes from the same system which has produced Deshaun Watson. And most importantly, he seems to have a very good head on his shoulders. No crazy ego. He’s been NFL ready since the end of his Freshman season.

[Vols2DaWall]

We are soooooooo far behind these teams. It's sad

 

[UTgrad2015]

Sippin’ on some Blantons and enjoying the first day of 2021 with the CFP. Life was good today.

 

[volfaninpa]

So, Grantham is gonna remain at FL but they are overhauling some of the defensive staff? Any of those Florida retreads want to work with Pruitt?

 

[tn88volfan]

everybody improving their staffs and UT is like

 

[Smokeytom]

Mullen isn’t being overly loyal by keeping Grantham. The dude has been a great DC his entire career and had a top 10 scoring defense just last year, posting 3 shutouts. You give coaches with his resume another year because history shows this year was an outlier.

 

[engineerVOL]

We are soooooooo far behind these teams. It's sad

It just takes the right QB and a forward thinking head coach. College players don’t play hard if the QB shows no promise.

 

[KB5252]

We are no closer now than we were two years ago. We might close the gap yet, but to say we have closed the gap is ignoring reality.

Great story. Thanks for sharing
