Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Enki_Amenra]

honestly Whitehead has not been bad either when he's been in

I was surprised by how slow whitehead is in the open field.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I think it’s a little unfair to have the same feelings about a guy that has a child living out of Knoxville than just a “regular” student-athlete. He gets a little bit of a pass from me due to the kid factor

Yet another situation he created himself. Kids are not a bad thing, even more of a reason to focus on education.

 

[butchna]

Looks like a reliable source.

Those glasses hint at knowledge.

 

[butchna]

Calbert?

Got “former starter” from this season myself…but maybe. I think if Calbert gives it a go it’ll be for us.

 

[BJWeeks]

If Riley does accept get ready for TN fans to have a nervous breakdown assuming Heupel goes to OU

Heupel would be hated as much as Kiffin if he did that to the Vols and Vol football would officially be dead

 

[BruinVol]

Yet another situation he created himself. Kids are not a bad thing, even more of a reason to focus on education.

Well let’s be honest about it. I think if the kid really is the reason to focus then it’s plenty reasonable to think focusing on education closer to that child is equally important.

Stoops to Florida
Leach to Kentucky
Mullen to Mississippi State

You know there is a dude on YouTube that beat the entire game blindfolded? One of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen… that and solving rubics cubes while juggling them

That's ridiculous! I've beat it several times but playing blind folded would be insane.

The game really is all about timing and strategy so I see how its possible but not even something I'd attempt. Ha.

I hate that Cade is hurt and won’t play in the bowl game. That sucks.

Torn ligament in his foot is what I heard.

Honestly, it would be easier to focus on your education at a place you've already been accepted and enrolled.

He would have the opportunity to make some decent NIL $ and could have easily moved the kid here. It would have only been for 14 more months or so. I know 14 months sounds like a lot to younger people, but it is nothing when considering the opportunity to create a financially rewarding future and security for his family.

It is a shame that he doesn't understand the situation and opportunity enough to realize the importance and seriousness of capitalizing on it.

Tiyon ain’t come here to play school.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Tiyon ain’t come here to play school.

Or football.

 

[engineerVOL]

Showing my boy how hard video games used to be. One punch from Tyson and you are out!

That gives me such anxiety right there.

 

[volsagain]

Would Calloway count? He started at FL, right?

I hope not. That kid has a lot of potential,he will be alot more mature and experienced. Probably need one transfer anyway at wr .

 

[orangejuice]

Or football, apparently.

I laughed!

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Sucks for him. That’s part of the deal. Gotta play school for a couple of years if you’d like to be a multi millionaire

 

[peaygolf]

Tiyon ain’t come here to play school.

 

[JacketVol]

Well, that’s fair. Evans is definitely not our most important player, but he is possibly the most talented playmaker we had on offense. Once again, wish he wasn’t transferring, but we should be less worried about RB than any other position.

VJJ and CT and Hooker have as much or more playmaking ability. JMO

 

[seaofORANGE22]

My theory is Kiffin is making it so absurdly obvious that they'll be forced to make a rule...which ultimately helps his uptempo offense. And ours too.

Kiffin pulling a Magnus Carlsen

This is what i've been thinking too. He's probably had it done to him by other coaches and realized its a defensive loophole. I think thats why he doesnt even try to hide it. He has the whole country talking about this issue. They're likely going to add a rule this offseason as a result.

 

[JacketVol]

The misinterpretation of the rule would of come from The Athletic then because that’s who reported what the rule was.

The cig sellers.

okay so we know our coaching staff can make the most of what they have, can coach their rears off, the players love them, and they can develop kids .... But what I haven't seen yet is their ability to RECRUIT, which is one of the keys to being successful in the SEC... I don't think they get it coming from UCF... I hope they don't think they will just keep maximizing what they have and it will all work out... we need talent at every position, and talent is currently being scooped up and going elsewhere... to schools we whipped...
unless they know something we don't and have agreements with portal kids and some silent commits, they need to step it up in a major way... This is one of things I was worried about when they announced the hire... I hope he proves me wrong, but right now at this point in the year, I am certainly not getting a good feeling...

 

[Jackcrevol]

Good to hear and I think it shows. This team carries themselves different.

However a family member of Morven Joseph was on Twitter saying its not as good as it appears. I don't really buy that. However if it is true I think there are maybe a few outliers that haven't bought in yet.

He transferred didnt he?

Potshots from employee on way out.

 

[JacketVol]

I think that he did that intentionally. I thi know for whatever reason he has an awesome to grind with Heupel. The timing of this is strange.

Please try again.

Can we enjoy the season and wait to do this until after signing day and we know for sure we have a mediocre recruiting class? There is still a lot of room for this class to get a lot better.
