Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Bassmaster_Vol]

What is our current recruiting ranking and where do we expect it to end up post NSD?

Not great, but we only signed 20 players and are finishing the class with transfers. So far we’re nailing the transfer market

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

I mean, he won 8 with JG at QB. I don’t know why we think it’s impossible for him to win 8 next year with an upgraded staff and better QB play. He may not, but it certainly isn’t impossible

He beat bad teams and won off the back of butchs players. Jennings, Calloway, Bituli, and Warrior.

So this is just a mock schedule, im sure i have sent this in here before but obviously the first 3 games are probably accurate. That Pitt game is HUGE. We win it and we likely start out 3-0, then 8-4 is absolutely a realistic expectation. If we beat Pitt then I think we beat Mizzou, Kentucky, USCjr and Vandy, then obviously south alabama and possibly Ole Miss as well, so 9-3 wouldn’t be totally unrealistic. But if we lose to Pitt, then I think we go 5-7 with the other 3 ooc games as wins and then uscjr and Vandy as the only conference wins View attachment 339873

7-5 is likely, but not worthy of keeping his job. Ole miss will hang 60 on Pruitt. Very easy schedule

3-7 is NEVER acceptable under any circumstances. But when you look at HOW we lost those games, mismanaged personnel, horrid clock management, lack of in-game adjustments, etc.

What would his (and this staff's) record be with Bama's roster? My opinion is they would be barely .500 with a national championship roster.

And before anyone brings up the 8 game win streak, how many of those teams finished with a winning record?

We desperately need a full offseason. The Corona nonsense needs to go away now that we have a vaccine.

I agree 100%

 

["It's Time"]

Pruitt is doing everything right so far this offseason to make changes on the field. Given the investigation, things have gone decently this offseason besides a couple of key guys transferring. Say we go 8-4 or 9-3 next year and our biggest loss is by 18 points to Bama, would y’all’s opinion on him change at all?

He has yet to beat a team he wasn’t supposed to beat. So there’s no way this scenario happens.

 

[rikberry31]

Idk why we are waiting...

Culture will be even worse in a year. We will hear the same come Fall...”well the culture is still a problem” blah blah blah. Then we will fall even further behind. It’s not that hard to figure out what will happen.

Going to be a big told you so moment.

Come on man.

True, but we also play those same bad teams this year and we don’t have JG holding us back

Lol no. He wouldn’t win a national title but he isn’t going .500 with Bama’s roster lol

Beat Florida, Georgia, or Bama. Or get out. It’s year 4

Offense looked awful, it didn't matter who the qb was. I'm sure an off-season will help HB but Pruitt hasn't had an offense in 3 years, I have zero hope he will finally have one this season.

 

[Weezer]

Not great, but we only signed 20 players and are finishing the class with transfers. So far we’re nailing the transfer market

What?? We've taken two transfers so far, and lost a hell of a lot more. Sure, most we've lost are inconsequential, but we are not "nailing the transfer market" atm.

 

[VolsNUT]

Lol no. He wouldn’t win a national title but he isn’t going .500 with Bama’s roster lol

OK, do you think he beats Florida, aTm, Georgia?

 

[Blake25p]

I’m sticking to this, with average QB play we finish 6-4. 3-7 still falls on Pruitt for sticking with JG and not developing any of the QB’s on the roster or bringing in a transfer.

He must be counting Toot as a “transfer”

Ugh, landing Hooker and Big Kat, 2 of the best transfers available, and losing nobody of consequence except maybe Wanya, our back up LT, is absolutely nailing the transfer market. And we aren’t finished yet

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Ga absolutely, maybe atm, doubt he beats fl

 

[KeyVol14]

Huge mistake keeping pruitt. We will be right back here mid way through the season

 

[Dudleys87]

That's hilarious. Government will want to keep it around to ensure control and more power

the people that think it magically goes away is what’s hilarious.

They made the bed. We got no choice but to get comfortable.

 

[SCvol333]

Big kat will remake this defense. Huge get. That is the pressure without bringing people we have been missing. If we can get average qb play and we get a not all sec schedule we could definitely win 8 next year. Regardless of who the coach is.

Is JJ coming back? Would really be nice to have him another year w Wanya leaving

Who’s gonna fix the pass defense. I mean he’s a good player but this team has way more issues than just the pass rush.

Because we still haven’t learned that they don’t care what we think.

Auburn from 2 yrs ago.... we need solid QB play.

I dont know. Bryant is a big name, but both Johnson and Bennett had more sacks last season. Bryant has 10 in 4 years. Hooker had been replaced at QB by Burmeister. He can run better than JG, but is about the same as a passer. If SEC defenses take away his ability to run, he isn't beating anyone in the air. A lot of the talk when he transferred is he would end up at the G5 level so he could start.
