Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Jack Burton]

He said he’s never seen a guy at UT (but not saying he’s Peyton Manning) that can do the things Milton can do, and he’s the obvious qb 1.

Maybe he can write an open letter to Milton like he did JG. Actually, he shouldn’t because it was weird.

 

[VolByLaw]

Joey Halzle, Jerry Mack, and Matt Merritt are listed as rising stars. Kelsey Pope is also mentioned.

Dobbs was pretty special. So if that is the case, I'll take it in a heartbeat.

From what I hear, practice went really good today….. Same order for QBs….. all solid with Milton looking like the best QB we have…..red zone offense was really good….Payton and Tillman both went off…Defense looked good and offensive line was solid…..There were some turnovers where the ball bounced off some smaller receivers hands…… he said he hopes the Team gains consistency.

It means they still don’t have one single school that can consistently compete with the SEC in football. tOSU is the one in those 3 conferences combined that even has a prayer.

I think he was talking arm talent.

Oregon?

Still not normal to not see Tennessee in a top 25.

Tell him I’m going to need the receivers to cut that crap out. Thanks

Started it with the wife. Love it so far, season 2 on deck

Season two is the best season.

This OL is going to shine.. if they were to struggle, at least Heup is smart enough to get the ball out quick to help them out..

More reason not to hold last season against this team. Not only did they quit on JG and Pruitt, but they were clearly not prepared. DW was over 360 after the covid break, he's now down to 322 and is moving better than he ever has. I bet there's stories similar to that all over this team.

Nobody was talking about lack of talent at halftime against GA last year. This team is better than people give them credit for. We lost Henry. That doesn't mean suddenly this team is depleted. Last year we didn't have Evans, we didn't have Young, we didn't have Milton, guys who will be big contributors this year were covid freshman such as Baron, Calloway, and Eason.

Not to mention the massive upgrades in coaching at QB, OL, DL, LB, and OC.

We're going to surprise.

Interesting considering Merritt is support staff…as well as Pope.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Beckwith, Small, Evans, power-I goal line. Wouldn't it be nice?

You don’t hear the Fitz like hype with Schmidt…just observable results.

Does his work in silence instead of on twitter

Sorry, just trying to help a fellow vol out. Oh, and by the way, Red Baron pizzas should be banned from grocery stores and public consumption!

I don't care for them but my middle daughter loves them. I don't know why.

I don't think Craig Fitzgerald has or has ever had a Twitter account.

He was a decent SC coach. I think a lot of his "hype" was just preseason expectations had to come from somewhere, and there wasn't much on the field to be positive about, so they resorted to a bunch of weight room highlight reels. I don't think that 2019 rebound with all of those 4Q wins can happen with a team that is out of shape.

If offseason workouts are translating to the field, everyone is just going to talk about what's on the field, not the offseason workouts.

you are probably right.. it felt like all we saw for 2 straight years was hype videos with Fitz square in the middle of most of them..
