Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[HankHill]

Which WRs shine next year? I am excited to see Hyatt not only stretch the field but work on his overall route running to complement his deep threat. Who else joins him?

ALL THE WRS

 

[BruinVol]

Is AP still made that Kevin didn't Steele the job?

It’s too soon for the VQ jokes

They got the last laugh

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Another thing, Gabriel was a true Freshman, so Heupel isn't scared to start one. I say that to say, it may not be likely but also wouldn't surprise me if Saltor wins the job.

 

[BruinVol]

Wonder if they consulted the Ncaa about skipping this year's bowl?

I doubt it.

Ain’t letting that dumbass coach here. Bye Gump.

Who you referring to here?

 

[Kingston Vol]

Doesn’t Kiffin call plays at Ole Miss?

Does he? Why do they pay Lebby so much if that’s the case?

 

[pismonque]

Not sure if this has been posted, but Hyams is on the radio right now saying Pruitt isn’t going to the Jets.

Doubt the Sharks would want him either.

 

[csprig9]

good
See ya
He isn’t anything but a problem anyways

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Who you referring to here?

Pruitt was rumored to the Jets. Hank works for the Jets

Staff needs to be assembled quickly. JH needs to take stock of his roster and decide if there's anyone out there he needs to recruit(Malone would be nice, but it's probably too late) because NSD is a week away. Needs to decide if he's gonna honor whoever is still committed that didn't sign early. Plus, he needs to be looking at transfers to fill out the roster before they all choose other schools. There's a lot to do in a limited amount of time. How he handles it may very well speak to the type of coach he'll be here.

Could we pick up more transfers after spring practice?

 

[BigOrangeGoose]

Man, y’all have convinced me to believe... thank goodness. As long as he gets defense and recruiting figured out we could be REALLY good

Y’all are the best

 

[Power T-Rev]

What I wouldn't give to be with Emma Watson

 

[preacherwebb]

Get behind this program...everyone. Stop bickering. Stop second guessing.
We have a bad ass AD...I mean one of the most impressive guys I have EVER been around. He is getting this right I promise you that.

And another thing...this stuff about whales and authority to offer this and that to two whales is BS. DW has been given a damn centurion card to hire whoever he wishes at whatever cost he sees fit....i have said it 100 times but some folks just can’t understand. Money is not and will not be an issue moving forward with this program.

Unless I have missed something, this is the last post from Atlanta VOL. I'd be curious to know how he feels, now that the coach has been named.
For clarity, I'm not kicking at Atlanta VOL or anything like that ... I'd genuinely like to know his thoughts on the hire, and anything he can share now that it's happned.

You’ll lead his orientation and like it.

 

[WarMachine]

Yes, but we haven't had a ton of good results from the transfer route. Could fill a need possibly though...

 

[Ace]

Does he? Why do they pay Lebby so much if that’s the case?

Pretty sure Lebby calls plays

 

[SweetasSoda]

I think he has the perfect temperament for it. Laid back Much like lane was without the social antics. That’s what I’m more excited about than anything to be honest. Looking around at the best ran teams in all of football there’s a vast majority of them ran by laid back players coaches style leadership. Chiefs, Seahawks, Titans, rams, Oklahoma, Ohio state, Clemson to some degree.

I think just being “one of the guys” is important now. Saban and Urbans method works perfect for them but there’s far more examples of the other style imo. i think we’re going to have one of the best vibes and cultures we’ve had in a long time rather quickly. You can already see player chatter and buy in like we haven’t in a long time.

Are you hearing anything in particular about how the players feel about White and CJH?

 

[Weezer]

Could we pick up more transfers after spring practice?

Probably, but JH needs to be running right now. There's a lot to do in a short amount of time.

Booger McFarland is on Finebaum talking about how good of a hire this is. Saying we got everything we wanted.

YES!​

 

[VolGee4]

So does Brandon Johnson stay at UCF?

Is there smoke coming out of Finebaum's wings? He never says anything positive about TN

Well in 2019 his QB broke his leg and he had to play a freshman and in 2020 he had 10 players opt out including 3 starters I believe

Most of not only Heupel's but also Frost's successes as coaches has to do with McKenzie Milton. Those guys' records with Milton is awesome; without him it is kind of pedestrian.

Bailey or Salter turning into a star (not just a good player, but a star) I think is a requirement for Heupel to be successful here.

 

[WarMachine]

Sucks for him, seriously.

Here’s the thing about our defense next year. We don’t have to be great, we just need to keep teams below 30 points. If he can form a first year defense to do that with our roster, the offense will score 30+ per game. Our offense is going to be very good IMO.
