Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[drvenner]

I am as certain as I can be that this will not end well, regardless of whether Pruitt leaves or not. I am equally certain that we have the absolute worst administration in the country. I keep hearing that Boyd and Plowman are going to right the ship, but I have yet to see any evidence of this, other than Boyd playing a big role in keeping Barnes here. If they are going to lead us out of the desert, it is past time for them to throw their weight around.

With Wanya in the portal, we're looking at losing 3 of our starting OL. And that discounts the rumor that Wright plans to transfer as well.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Haha! Doubt I’m the first to post this but I mean.. you already did that!

To say or hint at WHO I was talking about. That would be really ****ed up to do.

 

[jp1]

I don't think anyone is. I do find it funny that he would give the impression of running a tight ship, and then conveniently not be aware of what's going on in his program.

How is this different that any school in the SEC. Exactly how did you want him to act?

Not Joking, to make it through next season we might need to add a few more QB's 3 won't be enough with our line.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

He for sure leaving?

Not for sure. He spoke to someone and the idea is floating around in his head. He just wants to do what's best for his future.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Don’t get me wrong.... i don’t want to lose any players. What player on the interior DL has shown to be anything special?

Middleton showed promise last year and then disappeared in 2020.

 

[volbeast33]

This right here is stuff that never gets out in places like BAMA, Saban would absolutely destroy this trolls career as a “journalist”

Saban doesn’t have investigations..... players arrested near campus..... academic casualties.

 

[BruinVol]

Chandler
JG
Wanya
Smith going Pro
Brandon Johnson
Shrout
Pope (not starter in 2020, but was in 2019)

So not 6 transferring like the op that has done some serious exaggerating lately said

Lol
2 QBs that weren’t starters at the end
1 RB that didn’t start
1 wr that lost his job to a freshmen

Morris wasn’t even a starter much either


Right now 2 offensive players have left that hurt

Morris and Pope

Our offensive line is going to be bad, and will get worse. We didn't recruit well there this year. Spraggins and Cooper Mays look like they will be good, but who is going to be left if Wright leaves? We might be ok next season on the OL (still have to play better), but 2022 is looking scary.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Y'all gonna be really pissed when you see who the next guy transferring out is.

Spill it. We’ll keep your secret and the guy will never know. You have nothing to lose. When he transfers it’s not like you are still going to be friends with the guy anyway and just think all the insider “cred” you will gain.

and he should

 

[volsfan_17]

Brandon Johnson
Wanya Morris
Shawn Shamburger
Ty Chandler
Jarrett
Deandre Johnson

Seems strange to B!tch about certain players all season, then be sad that said players are leaving the program.

Sham has taken his name out of the portal for the time being
Wanya, didn't solidify a starting role throughout the season due to Covid - would've liked him to return for depth
Chandler is leaving, but the RB room has plenty of options
JG - seriously? - replaced with Henton Hooker for depth
Deandre - best pass rusher we had - not saying much - would liked him to return for depth
Palmer - Graduate - And we begged for the younger WR's to get more run
B. Johnson - didn't really get on the field here - again, wanting to see the younger Wr's play
T. Smith - Graduate - Will be missed both on and off the field.

Don't worry about it. Good players don't play league of legends.

Except the part where I pointed out 6 starters. But you chose the post which fit your narrative.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Our offense was 13th in the SEC last year and we've now lost 6 starters to the portal and others to the draft. No major influx of talent, no change in system.

We're going to be really bad. We could have stopped the bleeding had we fired and hired by now.

Looks bleak now for sure, but Chadwell will get our offense very serviceable next year. I think Steele will be able to retain our defense roster as well.

I mean regardless this isn't good for depth? We're now losing 3 starters on the OL. Do you think thats good?

 

[butchna]

Chandler

Smith going Pro
Brandon Johnson
Shrout
Pope (not starter in 2020, but was in 2019)

Only LOSS in that bunch is Morris...and Thompson who wasn’t listed.

Bruin, you are comical. Just as you listed, 6 of those guys were starters last year (or would have been if not for injury in Pope's case.)

The fact remains we losing contributors left and right for an offense that was awful last season and we are not replacing either their production or their talent.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Alright, so it's a dude...

on the team...

just keep talking, we'll narrow it down

His summoner name on league is tennessee related, if that helps you in your quest.

Agree....2021 OL class wasn't good.

Pretty much how I feel, the damage is already done and all hell is getting ready to break lose one way or the other

 

[VolInDayton]

I get transferring for players time, but some of these players are transferring from a situation they created and controlled.

 

[Rylee_Vol18]

It's not my place to say or hint at. Sorry.

Then why even bring it up? You don't know.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

I'll gladly tell you what was said but I'm not gonna mention the possible transfers name. That's just not right.
