Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[GojiraVol17]

If UT keeps Pruitt, then Pruitt needs to call the defense and then upgrade offensive staff and let them run the show. The offensive line needs help.

I’d be cool with keeping him on staff in some capacity

 

[TrippieRedd]

We need a new coachhhhhhh

As the certified white board kicker or what?

 

[scvolfan7]

Just checked the rankings.


We are still in the top 15, we had posters saying we would fall out of the top 30 and you Guys are complaining about Today?



Top 15 is a hell of a good job by this staff under the circumstances.

Half the class hasn’t even signed lol

 

[SSVol]

It's completely reasonable to comment on today's outcome. It's absolutely ridiculous to draw any negative conclusions about future classes when we don't know who the coach will be, what next year will hold, or any of 20 other factors that are completely unknown.

 

[appyvol]

I love how when we get close to a coaching search the RF is invaded by FF posters I've never seen before, and they disappear until the next coaching search gets fired up three years later.

Yerba Mate. But it loose leaf at Kroger or Whole Foods. Has caffeine but also will give you a nice mood and clarity of mind lift without jitters. It has an earthy taste and pairs well with honey and/or lemon and ginger.

So...tastes like dirt, but with enough other stuff it is drinkable?

 

[BruinVol]

Which site has us in the Top 10? 247 has us 15th.

15 was what I meant sorry

Why the hell he disappeared so long was baffling to me. He became very odd after the Paris raid up until his death.

It’s close to some stronger green teas I’ve had but the overall tasting notes are earthy to me. I think it’s fine as is but I also like black coffee and neat scotch.

For the "This Class Is Underwhelming" naysayers:

1. Our class is within a stone's throw of A&M and Florida, who are both currently ranked in the CFP top 10.
2. We have as many 4 stars as "Merry Flipmas" Ole Miss, Arkansas, Missouri, Vanderbilt, and South Carolina COMBINED!
3. We have 2x as many 4 stars as Auburn, 2x as many as Penn State, 2x as many as Florida State, 3x as many as Nebraska, 5x as many as Kentucky. 10x as many as UCLA. Hell, Virginia Tech has no 4 stars.
4. We're ahead of Texas, and have more blue chips than they do.
5. We're signing an ELITE QB, 2 power backs, weapons at TE and WR, and big boys in the trenches.
6. We still have room for more CORNBREAD recruits.

6th in the SEC. Doesn't exactly help our cause.

6th best in the conference
Nowhere close to AL and UGA
Every O lineman is a project
No elite DB's
One pass rusher who hasn't signed yet.
Very weak on in state guys.

 

[Govolsman98]

Anyone know what time Freeze is signing?

 

[Batman1948]

... I thought our academic requirements had gone up?

I think some of the guys in here have been trying their luck with painting the rock

 

[NMVol]

Just testing out some of comment editing features I haven't explored before. Very nice.

Spoiler: Early recruiting day update.

Pruitt is still coach.

 

[volfaninpa]

Anyone know what time Freeze is signing?

Sunday or Monday

This and it was already stated that we were leaving room for High level transfers. In order to get immediate help. Did it all in terrible circumstances. It’s not like the recruits we signed today popped out of no where.... it’s who we’ve been recruiting for a while lol

 

[jordan4vols]

If Fulmer comes out with a vote of confidence BEFORE Texas AM destroys us then he needs to go too

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Of those that have signed, I like salter, Campbell, and T. Evans a lot. The rest is ok but our secondary class is awful and we might not get Brooks. If we don’t get him this class is a C- at best and will put us even further behind. On top of that we’re gonna strike out in 22.

It’s not like this signing class just popped out of nowhere these are guys we have been recruiting constantly and a ton of them are EEs.

 

[KB5252]

Hard to get excited about a class when we don't appear to be building toward anything. We are striking out in some positions of dire need. I'm glad to have what we do but this program appears to be stalled under Pruitt, no energy, no excitement.

The problem isn't that the class is underwhelming. Considering the lack of job security of our coach, the class is actually pretty good.

The problem is our coach. I couldn't care less about recruiting right now because this staff can't develop players.
