Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Wasn't James Banks also rumored to have used the whizzinator?

Never heard those rumors. We know he failed drug tests and got booted similarly to Onterrio...so that’s a trend.

Nope

Only time I've paid attention. Just because I want to see the reaction.

Y’all go listen to locked on Vols from today...

For those without the time, the cliffs are:

- Malachi Wideman is a non-factor / likely transfer candidate
- Recruiting likely to rank outside top 15

According to Michigan guy:
- Milton lost his confidence at Michigan
- Milton is a capable runner
- He has full faith Milton can still reach his very high potential

WAAAYYYY too early to say. All it takes is a hot streak in the Fall and this class could look amazing. Bad Fall, and opposite is possible.

So strange and a big disappointment.

His potential, according to this guy, is Heisman trophy winner and first overral pick

his heart could be telling him basketball. If I recall, it was his favorite sport.

Top 200 national ranked basketball player, maybe he should switch to playing for Barnes?

I watch a lot of film – of other coaches on our schedule or just out of curiosity. I remember watching Gus Malzahn after we beat them in 2018. It was bad. He was under tremendous pressure and it showed.

Yesterday I watched Malzahn’s and Gabriel’s post spring game interviews at UCF. I figure we have an interest since we’re paying Gus’ salary for the next three years. Anyway, Gus looks 10 years younger, looks like he’s been on vacation at the beach for a month or so. I’ve never seen the guy look so upbeat and enjoying himself.

Gabriel seemed to have a similar demeanor. He had an ever present smile as he spoke with the media for about 8 minutes. He was a happy kid.

We took a first time HC that went 12-1, 10-3, and 6-4 at a G5 “powerhouse” and challenged him to turn around the UT football program? Then we hired Gus Malzahn to turn around the program that Heupel had trending in an unfavorable direction? smfh.

I’m just hoping CJH isn’t our Chad Morris, you know, the elite P5 OC (Clemson) who took a first time HC gig at a G5 school (big east SMU) and had them at least trending in the RIGHT direction, then is hired by Arkansas where he doesn’t win a single conference game in two years and is fired after 8 games into his second season.

The way I have it figured is White begged Heupel to take the job here because no one else would give him the time of day and his closing argument to Heupel was, you know the next AD there at UCF is going to fire you next year if you can’t turn the program around there. We hired a guy on the hot seat at a G5 school and challenged him to turn the program around at Tennessee. Okay.

LA, you seemed to be pretty well wired into what is going on with the UT football program across multiple coaching regimes so I’m wondering if you are part of our elite decision making group? Just curious.

The big difference is Chad Morris gave up 40 ppg at SMU. Hype gave up 25.5 (adjusted for COVID, 26.3 unadjusted) ppg at UCF.

Hype reminds me of CBJ INSOFAR AS he equally respects the defensive and ST aspects of the game as he does the offensive. Unlike, say...Dooley who hardly recruited or cared about defense. Or Pruitt that put every single bit of talent on one side of the ball.

Nice size for a PWO.

Why would Mike Woods transfer? He was going to be featured in a high octane offense with a bunch of weapons around him to take the focus off of him.

Seemed almost like a perfect situation. It wasn't as if he was buried on the depth chart. He supposedly started the entire Spring. People talking about him going to South Carolina. Why the **** would anyone do that?

Rumors say Oklahoma. We know they do seem to like SEC transfers.

Is Walker Merrill hurt?

I think I saw someone posted in here something about him tearing his mcl

First post in a long time. Here it goes:

Boobytrap spelled backwards is partyboob.

Also, Go Vols.

The caller was Cattleman...troll, contrarian and popular. He “went too far” on another station’s show with vitriol directed at Ainge and it elicited a power play that Basillio bucked against. You’re correct in that was the beginning of the end.

Ah I wish I could have been tuned in to hear Cattleman give Ainge an earful.

No kidding.. how is he not doing better with all of that athleticism? There has to be more to the story

Two Vols listed in first round of 2022 NBA mock draft

ESPN has Chandler at 10th overall and Josiah Jordan James at 28th. JJJ showed a lot of improvement this year. He definitely has the potential.

Next years team has the potential to be GREAT

If JjJ can realize he can drive to basket nearly at will physically then he will be a force
