Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Was that not confirmed that he wants to come back and visited? Maybe you don’t like him but we will need bodies. Two injuries away on D Line next year from having similar problems to O Line this year.

Coaches don’t like him. He came to see his old teammates and paid for it himself. He will never play here again.

We are not bringing Middleton back nor should we

If we can pick up a few from portal, completely trust the staff but we will need bodies on D Line.

Got it…just don’t have time stay caught up like I used to due to work.

Does anyone know the bowl pecking order? When beat Vandy we will be 3rd in the East with 4-4 in conference. What is the scenario, if MSU loses to Ole Miss, that might put us as 6th overall in the conference. Not sure on the tie breakers if Vols and MSU end up with same Conference and overall records?

I think they’re basically in tiers and the bowls/SEC decide. Why we ended up at the Gator Bowl a few years ago and UK fans were so pissed.

A lot of the bowls will want us.

Kiffin is worse case scenario for FL. That would be gut punch.

LSU should hire Aranda.

LSU should hire Hugh Freeze. He knows the recruiting landscape of South LA and Billy Napier is unlikely to jump. Hugh Freeze would be an excellent hire as would Mark Stoops.

Yes that is what I was hearing again this morning, TN will go to a FL bowl (Outback or Gator) and then KY more likely for Music Bowl, because their fans will travel to Nashville better than a Florida game.

As soon as Oklahoma and Texas join the league, it looks like the East/West split of the SEC in football is over. It won't matter to us if Kiffin goes to Florida, although if he does, I definitely want to steamroll the Gators next year.. Go Vols!

How they will schedule is still a mystery though. So long as it’s equal then there’s no worry, but if they are still trying to protect certain teams I doubt we are one of them.

I hope it’s a Florida bowl. The further south the better. Can’t stand cold weather.

Kentucky fans in October: “We’re going to the playoffs, baby!”

Kentucky fans now: “We’re going to Opry Mills mall.”

 

[Vols4us]

Beat the snot out of a team we should beat the snot out of. That's more like Tennessee football again. Now do it again Saturday.

Wright is showing signs of becoming a quality RB.

Let's not sell the WR room short, it's way too early for that. There is young talent in that room that will be developed well by the time next season comes around. Add in any talent they get from the portal as they did with Payton.

Let's find a CB who is better than #4. Yes, there were two offensive PI's not called. But he refuses to look for the ball to deflect it. Bad technique. Let's move on to somebody who will.

Once again we get to see why playing UF in September every season is a mistake.

Once again a few posters got to see why some of us said Pittman was a good hire at Arky. Would have been fun to see that game on a neutral field with non-partial officials.

Would love for UF to go all in on Fleck.

To be fair, he was only off by 4.

And the media won't say a word

Lord if the ref called that in Neyland we may have actually rioted

 

[rjd970]

Ugh the FLA and Pitt games really sting right now.

some Tennessee fans in October: "We'll be lucky to be 4 - 8!"

We do but Thomas….. terry and Simmons are playing well…. We also have young guys like Eason, Bailey, and McNeil that will hopefully be able to help more next season….. we also have Bumphus who hopefully comes back and Garland as well.

 

[BigOrange15]

I usually like Sallee because even though he sometimes has questionable takes, he usually comes back and dunks on himself if they don't turn out.
