Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

When is this thing happening. Next week...

 

[Batman1948]

Yes I will bet $200

If you guys are gonna bet money on this, you better put an end date on the bet or each of you are gonna be pissed.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

That would kill the 22 recruiting class

Which is my primary objection

 

[snowvols]

I disagree with this. We haven't lost anyone to the portal outside of Wanya who is a difference maker, and Wanya was playing TE to end the year. Not saying he shouldn't stay or that he isn't better than that, but it's true. I also think we have an infusion of talent in the 2021 class on offense. The RB's and Salter are very talented. I'm hoping that we bring in Chadwell who can run an actual offense.

Besides Evans and Brown I dont think there is anyone else we signed that can help next year. Morris and Wright may be really good, we just never got to see them coached properly.

Chandler's best days seems like they were his first two years here. He seemed like he was lightening in a bottle on a handful of occasions but regressed over time...or maybe that's who he always as and EG made him look worse by comparison.

What I'm curious to see is if he can latch onto an offense that knows how to utilize him in space, where he seemed to shine, and make JP and Chaney look like he was mismanaged in this offense.

That’s the whole thing. Chandler was productive on offense in better schemes as well as special teams. Our scheme changed and chandler got phased out. Doesn’t mean he got worse or isn’t still a quality back.... he is. I don’t know why people are acting like it’s a guarantee that players that haven’t done anything yet or hell even got to campus yet will be better than him. Like we are any position to lose players.

I think John Adams might be a VN insider. He didn't know anything, but had lots of guesses.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I realize getting rid of Pruitt should have been done in November, but let's not celebrate that we are tearing the program back down to the ground to do it....or worse. They may really be destroying it if they don't know what they are going to do after the much awaited interview on Thursday.

Per VQ Napier holding out for FL or LSU job.

Can you blame him? You are surrounded by 5 star talent. If you can't be successful at Florida or LSU, you just can't coach.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

He kinda did as that’s where Adams gets his info.

Just to be clear you don't think someone like Paul Finebaum has any sources other than a message board?

 

[Dudley Smith]

Really wish they would get someone who actually likes UT football on there. They should have Hubbs or AP, not that bozo Adams

Having a Tennessee person on to trash Tennessee is catnip for Finebaum's Bammer audience.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

BruinVol is John Adams

 

[MarcoVol]

Just to be clear you don't think someone like Paul Finebaum has any sources other than a message board?

Well he just interviewed Adams assuming he had more info than Finebaum yet Adams didn’t know anything

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Bama doesn't care about us anymore. At all.

 

[MrVolton]

That is a factor for sure, but the dysfunction at UT is a factor as well.

I think they already know what’s going to happen. These lawyers are in no hurry $$. I think they’ve got the goods on Pruitt and he’s gone jmo. But will they have someone in line to stabilize this mess, other than Steel? If not then they all need to be doing something else. They’ve had plenty of time to have someone ready

 

[Catbone]

We are so f**** long term.

 

[butchna]

Down to hoping Chadwell was cool with Steele and Garner on his staff. Then Marrone with the same two will require some Knob Creek.

 

[pierce60]

Florida and/or LSU can do better than Billy Napier.

Yes, they brought in Urban from Utah (at the time a “group of 5” school), but he’d just beaten Pitt in the Fiesta Bowl. Napier ain’t done Jack!!

 

[MrVolton]

Dude was cheating badly enough to get caught and still went 3-7. SMH.

 

[rikberry31]

Just to be clear you don't think someone like Paul Finebaum has any sources other than a message board?

No, his other “source” is his callers. Finebaum is an echo chamber. He runs with the latest viral rumors.

 

[BeecherVol]

Exactly.

He just transferred out to a P5 school that averaged over 40 a game this year and is currently a much better program than the one he just left. That doesnt happen to players that are going backwards.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Well he just interviewed Adams assuming he had more info than Finebaum yet Adams didn’t know anything

Because everyone is all over the place with info

 

[MoCo_Vol]

siap that Brandon Johnson is heading to UCF, that's a pretty great spot for him to land. Wish him a great season there, hopefully they throw him 75+ balls so he can get NFL attention.

That's my fear... They know it's Steele.

 

[snowvols]

Do we have the most players in the portal of any school in the country? I tried to find it on 247 and I think we may. South Carolina had quite a few, but we have more and they have picked up 4 transfers.
