Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

The plot thickens.

I think that recruitment soured Garner on what it took to land some of these guys.

And the realization of the lack of return you received from the player after all you invested in them. Alot of what we're seeing is entitlement mentality on steroids'. Not for all kids, but definitely for some. Coaches jobs no are to also be psychologists to root cause these symptoms before they sign.

Pandemonium reigns

The plot thickens.

Jimbo sent Walter a video of $100 bill being burned. Walter had that quick change of heart.

 

[jdavis675]

Didn't Jay Hardy do this?

Yes and Pruitt had no idea even though he had access to the NLI portal to see it.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I thought he stabilized the position as the season went on for them. Maybe he was wondering where his big NIL deal was. IDK

The only thing I can think of is Jimbo promised King he could have the starting spot back when he was healthy.

Lebron would be the world's worst with China and Vol fans on his side.

With the combined powers of China and #VolTwitter on his side, we could make LeBron president.

PWO OL

I know absolutely nothing about this kid - but he does look the part -

Haynes King already there coming back from injury, Conner Weigman in this year's class and Eli Stowers in last year's class....I'm guessing Zach realized Jimbo had some promises to keep up and he was likely out a job.

SMU, UTSA, or maybe even TCU could be great spots for Zach if he wants to stay in Texas. But he's originally from Georgia so he may be interested in getting back closer to there.

 

[Cheatham County Vol]

These were the following recruiting rankings for UCF within the AAC:

2016 (Frost)- 4th
2017 (Frost)- 1st
2018 (Heupel hired 2 months before)- 2nd
2019- (Heupel)- 1st
2020- (Heupel)- 7th but only signed 20 and had the 4th best average player rating; also one recruit from this class had almost 900 scrimmage yards this year and another was 2nd in tackles

In the AAC, there are only a few (or less) 4 stars signed altogether in the conference each year. So, it's about who can sign and develop the best 3 stars.

Heupel also took Daavid Wilson from UGA and Brandon Johnson from UT, both who were contributors on this year's team. Johnson led in scoring.

I am not worried yet because we know the ones coming will get developed. I am fairly certain that Clemson started its dominance with classes that were in the top 7.

The way I’ve sort of envisioned this rise of the program through Heupel is how Barnes built the basketball program. Didn’t recruit at a top level in the early stages, but did coach and develop guys at a high level. After a couple years of that, he recruiting improved. Could be wishful thinking on my part.

 

[Fullfillmer]

This is great!

He is my favorite Vol - just on name alone. When have we had someone comparable?

 

[SoilVol]

Nolen will sign but make everyone think he didn’t to keep the drama going.

And keep taking cash under the table I'm sure.

You left out the obligatory Ole Miss mention.

The "Family" saying that tells you all you need to know. Dad going to sign with the highest bidder

 

[Fullfillmer]

So changing topics, pardon my ignorance on this, but what is our situation with TE's? I think you'd have to be stupid not to acknowledge GA's use of their TE in the game last week and how much of a weapon they can be if used properly...

I see Davis, but he need to put on some serious LB's... Any portal kids?

We used them more than ever this past season and we just recruited a great one for the 23 class.

 

[volinbama256]

Yes, thanks-- knew about the 23 kid, but wondering about the portal... hopefully Davis can add a good 25lbs...

 

[Brillovol]

I need to find them. I’m not settling here in NY and am still trying to figure out how my skill sets translate into the business world

You would make bank training peeps here in the greater Nashville area. You can't spit without hitting wannabe influencers. Live look into the current situation...

If he does I hope he doesnt go to UGA. Calzada is better then Bennett

Just looked at the books on top 100 for libraries, and number 2 is: Hookers and Blow Save Christmas. Apparently it's supposed to be perfectly innocent for children but humorous for adults. It's about a tow truck and a snow blower. I don't know why, but I thought a bunch of you would get a kick out of this.

I’ve met three Gators on my current turf. All three have been jerk faces

No, he's not LOL

Plus Georgia still has JT Daniels (for now) and Gunner Stockton incoming with Brock Vandagriff still there from last year's class. Zach wouldn't see the field at UGA. He's going somewhere he can play, would have to be a lower level P5 school probably or a G5.

Bowl practice observations…



- Hubbs

"besides Tiyon Evans who QUIT THE TEAM"


Finally someone stood up and just said it. Throw him and HB in the quitter pile.

Heard you gotta poke them in the eyes, punch em in the nose, and run like hell.

We'll await your footage.
