Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volinthenorth]

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.

Lots of those schools can compete with the SEC. Only a few, though, can compete with Bama.

 

[volinthenorth]

He has said that about multiple players. Ainge gushes over a penny with **** on it.

I can't figure out what the stars stand for in this expression. I have never found Abraham Lincoln's face to be all that appealing.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Feels a little different compared to past years.

If he found a penny that had shi-t on it, he would still be enamored.

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.

We were sold physical manhandling going our way and that was never delivered. I don’t think we were anywhere near as well conditioned as under Lawson. We paid for more than “decent”, but got annual drama whether he would stay or not. All that and Artis took the fallout for them being so badly out of shape that Zoom workouts couldn’t get them game ready. Fitz was a hack…glad he’s gone!

DW weighed 360 this time last year. Mercy.

Ubben moving off the Vol beat into a national role.. I wonder who The Athletic has pegged to take his place

Knowing our luck, it will John Pennington.

i assume this has already been mentioned here so, apologies. but if not, some praise for a few UT guys here: 50 rising-star position coaches you need to know

Glad he can sling it that far, hope he never has to. That would be nuts, a hail-mary from our own 20yd line.

 

[lilesrt]

And Jehovah! Depending on the replacement, I might actually subscribe.

Good to see him have success.

[BigOrangeVols]

Hope he doesn't have to either but I'd love for him to do it as he pleases if the receiver is open on the other 20.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

But can he do it accurately.

I think you’ll see Golesh hired as a HC in 2-3 years and Halzle slides into OC

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

If Campbell leaves Iowa State in the next 2 or 3 years Golesh will probably be in their top 5.

Potentially, however I'm more excited at the possibility of having a HC that actually can identify talented coaches, but also have a successful coaching tree. It's one of the wildest things I remember about Fulmer's staff, for a guy that coached that long, very little turnover overall.

If you're successful, good coaches should want to work with/for you, and other programs should want them to fill promotional vacancies.

[Revived2002]

But can he do it accurately.

At that distance, as long as he can keep it out of the reach of defenders our receivers can adjust and go get it.

 

[Jackcrevol]

 

[AllVol11717]

Excited to see Tillman carve out a role in this offense. He’s our best “big bodied” WR but he’s also got good long stride speed as he showed blocking for Eric Gray on that 90+ yarder vs Vandy.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Well..
