Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[SweetasSoda]

All dramas need a villain.

There are plenty of villains. They don’t need to be obnoxious trolls also.

The human mind is a weird thing.

Stare at it long enough and your mind should correct itself for the most part. Pretty wild some of the things your mind does most people aren't aware of.

There is a spot in your peripheral that you are pretty much blind. Your mind processes the image around the spot and creates an image that most likely should be there. It is right almost every single time and it does this countless times throughout the day. You can trick it though, once you realize where the spot is.
Reminds me of those octopi that change color to match their surroundings.

Haha, good start to the rest of the day, got to use octopi in a sentence!

 

[GoVolsGo54]

Y'all think Reggie Grimes hits the portal? Would be a nice addition to our a defense and a definite position of need.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Ya know...I might get raked over the coals here but I ain't too mad if it ends up being Dayne. Gotta remember he was a walk-on and this will be a full off-season in the system with good tape to teach from. His 3rd year with the team, but first seeing action and his stats were better than expected. I think he's got a shot to be pretty solid, may even be able to earn a starting role.

If it’s Dayne he has to improve his awareness and foot work.

 

[Jack Burton]

HH may stay, may go. Gabriel may come, may not.
Not quite the calling his shot that he's done previously, haha.

He won’t call it until he gets some info. A couple of months ago he did say Gabriel would enter the portal. I really hope we kick the tires there.

 

[BigSteve09]

Best thing they can do is disregard the Titanic that is their recruiting classes…and get the hire right. Panic trying to make a hire that saves it and you have us the last 15.

Yeah the timing is unfortunate for their big arrival to the SEC. Lose or dud a class or two, harder landing in a new conference than was expected. Won't be a joyride anymore. They just have to suck it up and make some decisions that are longterm focused

Tell us you don't know **** about college football without saying you don't know **** about college football

But A&M counts? Lol. Florida State isn’t a blue blood either.

If USC is considered a Blueblood then we are definitely a Blueblood

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I actually think our OL depth is about to be pretty impressive.

74 K'Rojhn Calbert R-Sr.
75 Jerome Carvin Sr.
68 Cade Mays Sr.

54 Kingston Harris R-Jr.
78 Ollie Lane R-Jr.
58 Darnell Wright Jr.
53 Jeremiah Crawford Jr.

50 Jackson Lampley R-So.
65 Parker Ball R-So.
66 Dayne Davis R-So.
77 Chris Akporoghene R-So.
63 Cooper Mays So.
76 Javontez Spraggins So.

70 RJ Perry R-Fr.
71 James Robinson R-Fr.
55 Braeden Krivosh R-Fr.
64 William Parker Fr.
72 Nick Edwards Fr.

All the Seniors I think can technically return and be "super seniors" not sure if they will though. Bold = guys that started at some point.

 

[BigSteve09]

I hate to sound like Richard Gere, but I really want Hooker to stay

 

[MoCo_Vol]

There is no way this is accurate. They have to be missing some stats. He has definitely allowed a lot of pressures by not picking up blitzes because he didn’t see them.

Those blitzes might have been the RB responsibility, I'm just saying Dayne was the guy they went to and he's young enough to continue to develop. I actually thought he looked better the more he played, Vandy game was weird cause he didn't have Spraggins beside him.

I felt like we looked our worst (on OL) when Carvin was having to play center and Lane or Lampley had to be relied on at RG.

 

[Adam2014]

I am sure this is 100% factual information.

I definitely agree with this. Lost all of our running ability when that happened.

 

[Weezer]

Would be nice to have a thread with updates. But who would do it? Y’all leave Nick alone. He has enough on his hands.

I nominate @Bassmaster_Vol .

 

[BigOrange15]

But A&M counts? Lol. Florida State isn’t a blue blood either.

Yeah, not really sure what else you'd call a team that is currently or was recently in the top 10 in literally every relevant category including:

Total Wins
National Titles
Bowl Games
Bowl Wins
All Americans
Draft Picks
Etc.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I nominate @Bassmaster_Vol .

Yeah me too @Bassmaster_Vol has nothing better to do, give him some work

 

[Weezer]

My goodness that Oklahoma class is going down in flames.

What a spectacle.

 

[SugarCC]

The ONLY reason he said that was because he knows he'll get a response.

VQ doesn’t think Calbert returns…and he participated in Senior Day activities.

 

[Nashvegas31]

I am sure this is 100% factual information.

Completely forgot about that guy.. he been in mental institute? Seems like we used to see his crazy stuff all the time

 

[MoCo_Vol]

VQ doesn’t think Calbert returns…and he participated in Senior Day activities.

Yeah I expect him and Cade are done. Calbert could have had a better career if not for all the injuries, feel like he's just done with it at this point.

 

[Nashvegas31]

VQ doesn’t think Calbert returns…and he participated in Senior Day activities.

Yeah that was a suprise when he was in video and then participating in the day. He was so emotional which is crazy that he won’t try to come back. I wonder if he is giving up the game due to all the injuries and the mental toll that takes.

 

[Weezer]

So just moving on to life after football?
