Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[preacherwebb]

True. I think it will be adjusted to what Mizzou ran. But I do believe he likes scoring fast and then slowing things down once you have a lead.

So did Spurrier.

I loved the subtleness of when Butch put his house on Realtor or Redfin and had the Bama helmet staged in his 1,000 square ft walk-in closet.

Had to have a closet that big to store all those bricks.

Lazy take, the biggest driver is a growing Latino population in both states.

Your point may be correct, too, but his point is correct. My parents were born and raised in Texas, and I had this very discussion with my mom before the election.

 

[LA Vol]

If he leaves of his own volition then he’s declining $900 k of his buyout.

He also has a coach's buyout clause-- 33% (w/out cause) the first year, IIRC. But if they mutually part ways, UT could waive that. Best to work it out.

Election?

Lol. You mean the Latino population that continues to increase its vote to the other side? It’s gone up every single year. That is a fact.

I doubt it. If Auburn wants to make a case, they're going to demand UT pick up the tab, claiming that's FMV. UT and Steele can work within the contract or part ways and start fresh.

I disagree. If he was worth it they would have kept him

BasketVols jumped from 18 up to 11 after last week.

Steele and Garner are what we need as the floor.... bare minimum IMO.

Lol, see above, I’m all for Steele

Rumors on twitter that Rico Kearney LB might look to come here.... played as freshman at Va Tech..... transferred to ucf but reentered the portal when heupel left.

If that's true, JH will be doing what he said he wouldn't do----bring players from UCF

 

[Lofton/Durant4 3]

If that's true, JH will be doing what he said he wouldn't do----bring players from UCF

He said he wouldn't recruit players from ucf. I don't think he can stop players coming by their own volition.

UPDATE: Joe Doyle has officially announced he is in the NCAA transfer portal

 

[volbeast33]

If that's true, JH will be doing what he said he wouldn't do----bring players from UCF

Not sure if that is the same thing..... it’s a transfer that has never played a down at ucf.... kind of like the recruit he offered that ended up committing to ucf anyways.

Is that bc this offense will never punt?

 

[Vols410]

It puts up points when there is a talent advantage, there's no proof it can work when going up against top end defenses.

But like I said, it's possible JH makes some tweaks. It's my opinion that he will have to slow his offense down a *little* to protect his defense and going fast against SEC defenses who can compete on the outside will not work long term.

I’ll just take a moment to say that he played 3 teams this year with a talent advantage according to 247.

Georgia Tech: 49 points
Houston: 44 points
Cincy: 33 points (on very good defense)

 

[VFLBerg]

Is that bc this offense will never punt?

Its because he's the backup punter and didn't even kick last season.

 

[VolGee4]

Election?

Presidential election. There was speculation that Texas was going to be closer than ever for turning blue, and there are counties that are getting an influx of people from the west. It is unheard of for people that are baby Boomers and raised in Texas.

 

[Geronimo]

Its because he's the backup punter and didn't even kick last season.

I like my theory better. Even if it’s not true.

 

[BruinVol]

If that's true, JH will be doing what he said he wouldn't do----bring players from UCF

He said he wouldn’t recruit them. He didn’t say he wouldn’t listen if they recruited him

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Also this bugs me a tad, the transfer portal names aren't all even scholarship guys.

Hill - PWO (no scholarship awarded)
Montgomery - was a PWO and given a scholarship, but those are only awarded by semester (don't think it was renewed)
Allen/Buchanan - both were injured and I'm not sure either was still on an active football scholarship
Abercrombie, Rinke, Gaddy, Edwards - all walk-ons
Bennet - dismissed from the team

Not sure why kids not on active football rosters have to even enter the portal (especially walk-ons)...

 

[Kingston Vol]

I’ll just take a moment to say that he played 3 teams this year with a talent advantage according to 247.

Georgia Tech: 49 points
Houston: 44 points
Cincy: 33 points (on very good defense)

Cincy is a good point - GT and Houston both suck.

I just don't think AAC to SEC translates 1:1.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Aw man! I rollover to 45 this year.

I’ll be 43 in April. Everything hurts! Years of lifting, sports, training horses, and farm work taking its toll.

 

[Batman1948]

Tesla doesn’t make money from manufacturing and selling cars and never has. what they do is resell the regulatory credits they get to car companies that don’t make enough vehicles that hit emissions standards. It’s the only thing that has kept them barely making a profit but as other manufacturers are now making vehicles with less emissions that side of their business is about to squeezed and they may be looking at them going back to the days of zero profits. A Texas move makes sense from that standpoint for many reasons including cheaper labor and bigger tax breaks not income tax as much as relocation breaks and an overall cheaper workforce but Elon also has a pretender syndrome and is dying to be seen as Tony Stark.

A lot of his startup cash was gifted him by Cali investors and taxpayers but as other manufacturers need his services less it makes sense to try and make the car part of the business a success rather than an excuse to gather and sell credits.

An interesting article on how it worked: Tesla's dirty little secret: Its net profit doesn't come from selling cars - CNN

With the credit selling market drying up, it’s going to be interesting to see if they can survive. I love their design but that’s the main thing going for them.

So, you think Musk is just a car salesman

 

[Geaux_Vols]

is this still an elite club? am i in the elite club?

Is it fair to say Maurer fits better in JH's system then Pruitt's? So stats will be skewed, no?

So, imo, my point stands. We will see who fits best/plays best in this new system.

(Not taking up for Maurer, by any means)

I believe Maurer's arm and legs fit most systems, particularly one like we are going to run, but not sure his head fits any system, but hope I'm wrong.
