Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[butchna]

Part of what doesnt make sense. We have Small and Wright, Sampson and Williams will be here in the fall, but yet we were going to take 2 backs and take playing time away from those guys. It doesnt add up.

Kamara signing up for Bama with 4 other 5 star RBs make sense? Quinn Ewers signing up with tOSU with other 5 star freshmen? Stop me when it clicks.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I’ll never understand why kids try and make a commitment if they aren’t given the green light.

To be fair, I don’t believe anything AP says anymore.

Youre talking about HS Fr vs transfer players who will and want to be on the field. Proven kids look for playing time not to sit behind others.

What part doesn’t make sense? This stuff USED TO be “shady”…not anymore.

The part about Gibbs apparently despising UT because of Pruitt but just saying yeah if Evans rolled in. It's still "shady" always will be

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Meh...but I'll give you those.

I'm scratching my head a bit on Turnage. Didn't he play one game like a madman and then barely played at all in the other games?

crying orange tears

Former UF tackle Gerald Mincey commits to Tennessee

 

[UTSuave’]

Also!

Arik Gilbert decommits from Florida, re-enters transfer portal

Players WITH OPTIONS signing on with loaded rosters. You honestly thing Evans or Gibbs consider SITTING behind those other names?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Hehehe. . .

"The Gators are running dangerously low on scholarship players in certain spots, and with a recruiting class that currently ranks 77th nationally and includes only seven commitments, UF has to make sure it has enough bodies to field a competent team next year."

I think you piss off Small and or Wright and lose one if not both.

Where do you get the “despising UT” quote? I know he didn’t want to play DB. Disagree with your shady opinion. It’s business…now legalized.

Hasn't it been repeated numerous times that Pruitt playing that nonsense completely turned him off from UT? We can agree to disagree on the shady stuff.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Juwan mitchel to start with. Was Texas leading tackler and coveted. Also Brandon turnage was highly sought after including Georgia and clemson

Those are not really what I think of when I mean "coveted" but I will concede the point.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Which one/s are gonna break the parlay?

 

[HankHill]

Lmao

Do you even know who he is? Lmao

 

[HankHill]

Lets see who Kirby hires first. If hes smart he either promotes Muschamp or steals Mason from Auburn.

Him and mason don’t miss philosophy wide but muschamp is the obvious answer.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Mitchell, Turnage, and Hadden would qualify despite the fact that they didn't make huge contributions this year IMO

Once again...the players I am talking about are the plug and play immediately highly coveted players. The fact that none of those guys did much is proof to me that they were not coveted that much...and I am not meaning to disparage them...surely they will have big roles in the coming season..hopefully.

It’s SPECULATED…repeatedly on this board. No one who would actually know. Haven’t seen any I HATE THE VOLS t-shirts sported by the guy. Agree wholeheartedly with that last sentence.

 

[Devo182]

Iirc we have 18 or 19 spots taken by recruits and now 1 taken by a transfer. Let's assume our portaling guys actually transfer and we get all 7 additional spots for 32 total.

How would you all prefer we use our last ~12-13 spots? All or mostly HS recruits? All or mostly transfers? An even split?

 

[PolkVol]

If Dan Lanning to Oregon is real I’ll take it….but probably not true

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Him and mason don’t miss philosophy wide but muschamp is the obvious answer.

And Champ was fine in his few stops as a DC. Even when he was at UF and SCAR his defenses werent the worst. Im not sure there would be much of a drop off due to the talent UGA has.
Mason was just a name I threw out, im not sure how happy he is or isnt at Auburn.
Who knows though with the latest rumors that Lanning doesnt have the job.

He started when Theo was out and killed it. He will be a good replacement for him

Oregon’s S/C coach came from UGA so there is a connection there

This dude can flat play!!!

Pretty sure VQ posts were bumped too he should get over it though and swing back this way. Certified killer in the Heup offense
