Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Say what?

They were. Rose to the occasion for 59 minutes, gave them one last breath. Can’t do that against Bama. Hell of a fight they gave ‘em.

Edit: Hole’d

VFL will be missed. Great shot.

 

[utvolmaniac]

Okie St. looking like the real deal offensively.

He was ready.

Great season!

At the end of 2012, I vowed never to complain about a winning season ever again. I’m learning to enjoy every one of them. They each have their own stories.

In my view, this is the second best team we’ve had post-Fulmer - second only to the 2015 squad. 2016 was more talented, but fell apart late. The achievements of this year’s team far exceeded the sum of its parts. Well coached bunch and just a joy to watch.

Now let’s get a bowl game against another slow Big Ten team and wipe the field with them.

Go Vols!

I didn’t expect a top 10 class. But seeing all of the top level players recruit to Kentucky in the last couple of months was a loss on heupel’s part for sure. I hope you’re right about top 15 but unfortunately I don’t think you are. It just feels like we’re not even reading about the kids being on campus etc.

One thing you dont under stand is these so called top level recruits would not be top level recruits in Ga, Fla, NC. How about and let Heupel get a year under his feet before you spasm out.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Fixed. Also you got some typos yourself. As for the job…I’m thrilled with how good of a job he’s done on the field. As I’ve stated we’ve had excellent recruiters (as coaches) who turned out to be terrible coaches. We all really knew Heupel knew how to coach. Especially on offense. The big question marks were around recruiting amd how his defenses have performed in the past.
As for the recruiting…a lot of those questions revolves around his perceived lack of charisma/personality. And I think we have a right to question that. Recruiting has to improve moving forward. At some point it won’t matter if we are calling a great game is our talent is so inferior to our opponent’s. And with all the top level high school talent Tennessee produced this cycle it just feels like a massive loss that we got almost none of them.

Typos, I don’t really care. I post and miss more than that mostly. Still don’t care. The crap you’re spewing, I do care about. Look, I’m not giving him a blanket pass and won’t judge this recruiting class on him or his assistant coaches, considering the mess he walked into, I still remember what it felt like last year. Next year, when he starts pulling in his own recruits, I’ll start judging.

That pic of AT is sick

 

[ConwayFitty]

Alright, I’m ready for commits and to see who we grab from the portal. It’s cruitin season

This is when this board truly shines... And my work performance tanks

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Come back. I’m sorry.

I wasn't talking about you right then...I was talking about the two douchenozzles bitching about Huepels recruiting.

 

[BigSteve09]

CANT WAIT TO SMASH SOME P***YA** BIG TEN OR ACC TEAM IN THE BOWL

 

[VolGee4]

Just saw an article about the top 100 kid out of Nashville that is thought to be committing to Kentucky in the next few days. How in the ever living hell has Kentucky strolled into Tennessee and taken all the best players? Man Tennessee has a weird fan base. Everybody is over the moon with huepel because he has been able to put up a bunch of points. That’s what we knew he’d do. The question marks were defense and recruiting. I’m not sure how he doesn’t get an F in both of those categories.

Kentucky has gotten 3, 2 who are twins. We already have 3 WR’s committed, so I don’t believe the staff cared much about Barion Brown.

I swear, we have probably the most exciting year in 5 years, and some bozos can’t enjoy it.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Its good and all, but how is this stat getting passed around so much? Are we supposed to forget that Lane Kiffin went 7-5 in his regular season?

Edit...thought you were talking about his first year at ol Piss

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Did Kiffin not go 7-5?

Edit...thought you were talking about his first year at ol Piss

 

[TennSam]

The whole tweet is worded weirdly.
Fulmer won 8 in regular season (plus the bowl) and Kiffin won 7 regular season his year here.

Either way Fulmer and Kiffin inherited better rosters than Heupel.Tennessee doesn’t even have close to the full 85 limit on scholarship players. I guess most of us expected or wanted a bigger margin of victory but at least they did take care of business.Look what we had on the right side of the oline.

 

[Batman1948]

I can’t wait until Alabama comes back down to reality

Every year Bama loses coordinators and I believe it has finally caught up with them. Saban had made some very good hires the past few years but something is wrong with this staff. It'll be interesting to see if he continues with this offensive coordinator.

Bring Mullen on as an analyst…. This is his time to shine.

 

[chattavol420]

Once again, can you not remember to capitalize H?

I almost always use the voice text and it doesn’t recognize that as a name.

A ton of kids have been on campus this season. Maybe you're not reading or hearing about it (which, seeing as you clearly don't know what you're talking about and have yet to capitalize our coach's name while spelling it a different way each time... my money is on you being oblivious to what is going on in recruiting), but recruiting has been happening.

With at least Butch and Pruitt, their worst class was their first (2013, 2018). Their second class (2014, 2019) was better, and their third class (2015, 2020) was their best in their tenure.

JH's first class (2021) was ranked 23rd (but we also took 10 transfers, and I'm honestly not sure if those count towards the ranking). The 2022 class is currently 28th, with several guys trending towards us and set to announce in the next few weeks. Not to mention the transfers we are sure to take.

Hope they weren’t at the game today!
Last game of the season and a half empty stadium! that’s gotta help, nobody likes playing in front of a packed house

but supercuts says Brown is the greatest and Almighty Sabin was calling him daily LOL. Brings to mind a song of "take the money and run"

 

[Orangeredblooded]

VFL will be missed. Great shot.

 

[Orange Studs]

USCe is still terrible. lol

 

[Vols4us]

Beamer Ball and the game chickens are taking it on the chin so far.

Yeah, Heup definitely had the worst roster, Tweet was still weird.

I was fine with the game. Vandy always wants to beat us so badly, HH didn't have his best performance and it was still never in doubt. Now go win the bowl.
