Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Both LOS are going to start to deteriorate quickly after this year: overall talent is going to decline as well

WTH lol… based on?

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

That’s certainly the hope but what we saw at UCf doesn’t make me think that’s likely

What exactly did “we” see at UCF?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I can't believe anybody ever converses with him...he is the biggest contrarion troll on VN. What is weird is he seems to be a good guy in real life..wish we knew that guy as a poster on here instead of this troll that posts contrarion stuff just to get into arguments, he takes the contrary point on EVERY SINGLE TOPIC...that is how you know he is trolling, nobody..well except maybe Gucci since he started doing it too...is on the contrarion side of every topic honestly...

Dude would argue with you that your front lawn is pink

 

[Jack Burton]

Off topic but I dislocated my shoulder sunday, but it’s back in place now. Any suggestions on treating for recovery? Or should I go to the doctor? I know some of you in here have PT experience. Any help is appreciated

Sometimes you need a referral from your primary Dr to go to PT. I recommend going that route to see if you need PT at all. If so, definitely do it just to avoid long term issues.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Agree, I’m not too worried about the future of the Dline. Terry, Bailey, Thomas and Simmons all have the talent on the interior. Add a transfer or two and home fully Nolan and we’ll be good to go. I’m much less confident in the Oline.

When Ellarbe was at UCF, his entire OL was 1st or 2nd team all conference. I don’t expect that here of course, but if he’s developing our guys and putting them in the league, OL will come.

Isn't that like gaslighting or something?

@secking in the FF predicting us to put up 70 on BG.. we've crossed the threshold of UGA guys being more optimistic about this team than our own fans lol

His guys were also all large Lineman, so the notion that some have of “they want small lineman” is wrong as well.

I mean…. BG got beat like 50 and 60+ last year by teams we would have destroyed last year and we sucked… so….

Lane was a homerun on paper, especially with him bringing his hall of fame dad as DC, and Coach O as DL and bag man. Just a combination of dumb contract agreement related to buyout and poor timing/bad luck.

Dooley had no business making the shortlist, much less landing the job.

Jones had 2 conference titles in 3 years at Eastern Michigan and 2 conference titles in 3 years at Cincinnati. That turned out to be fool’s gold and he was way on down the list for me
Personally, but still pretty good look on a resume.

I’ve heard it said that an SEC coordinator was just about the best Fulmer could get at the time. That said, Pruitt still had way too many red flags.

But you’re right, the constant has been poor choices by the people that call the shots for UT.

I'll never, ever believe that Pruitt was the only person who would take the job. I really think Fulmer believed that was a good choice. There are plenty of solid G5 coaches who have had some decent success who would have jumped at the chance (and at the triple salary). Solid post, it really did start with Lane leaving in January instead of December. If we'd had one more month to get a coach, I think everything would have been different.

The style of offense will definitely help the oline out a good bit. Still need some more tackle bodies and experience going forward. Decent chance we lose both starting tackles after this year, definitely 1.

Was definitely trying not to go to doctor so curious if anybody had suggestions for the natural route if there even is any

 

[bigorange]

he cost this school a lot of money

I gave the ABC store a lot of money because of Pruitt and JG

Central Michigan.....but, your are correct on all that.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I’d pick Fields

As a Chicago Bears fan I sure hope so. We are due to get lucky with a QB. Only good one since Luckman was Cutler

They were very bad last year and I believe the majority of the players this year are freshmen. The takeaways for us will be how we line up, substitutions, clock management, etc.

Pitt will be the first real “game”.

Cade is gone. I would bet Wright is back. Can Calbert come back? It’s a good think we’re hearing Dayne Davis has come on

I mean the issue is you need to make sure nothing is fractured…. But I will @VolsDoc81TX you…. He should know a thing or two….

A program go backwards

For sure. Shoulder doesn’t feel terrible. Like a little pinching feeling once I get it raised laterally level with my shoulder

Yeah what I like about the BG game is that fact that you can run your tempo the way you want and just get the “butterflies” or “jitters” out of the guys before they have to play in a legit game.

Couldn’t of been set up more perfect. It’s a good game to get all of our guys confidence and to actually get to see multiple QBs play so they get experience as well. You never know when an injury could sideline one if them.

Plus it gives our coaches something to look at on film to help make corrections and coach up our guys too.

 

[BruinVol]

WTH lol… based on?

here you go

You say a lot of dumb things, but you're not that far off on this point.

We're very senior heavy on the DL for sure.

McNeill came outta HS as an OT, so he's being converted. Washington I'm not entirely sure is still on the team, he was involved with all that mess that lead to Salter leaving I think.

I feel like we'll be solid on DL though, but next season could be a very bad one for that group. We have a great positional coach both in recruiting/development there though.


OL I'm not as worried about, mainly because we won't lost quite as many after this season as on the DL
View attachment 388950

Calbert hasn't really been a consistent contributor too so not sure how much we're losing there. If Wright decides to leave early though we could be in a very tough spot. Just depends on how well Elarbee can develop the young guys we got and recruit new ones. We're going to see some regression here for sure though.

Think he’s gonna be legit but you can never tell with the rookies

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

A program go backwards

You mean those loses they had of like a total of 7 points… when they had 18 people opt out and a bunch of starters….

Man I’d of loved to of had that…. Instead we went 3-7 and fired our football coach lol.

You should probably put some context behind those UCF loses…. It’s not like they were massacred they lost close games oh and they led the NCAA in total offense….
