Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[RiseToTheTop]

I just takes one quality ILB from the portal to upgrade the position go with Banks, Beasley and the rest who will each have another off season in the S&C, SP and camp to get ready in the same system with the same coaches. We will be fine. Depth will begin to become our friend next season. Our guys get to practice against our own great uptempo scheme.

Addition by subtraction at QB as well. Corral and Picket are gone from the schedule. Both killed us in winnable games.

So is the Pitt OC who was working with Pickett. Thats a complete restart.

Very pleased with how we closed today, but LB is a HUGE concern for me going forward. RPO offenses have changed the position, but we have essentially 1 proven SEC level LB on the roster in Banks. Beasley was not impressive and while I thought Mohan flashed on teams this year, Willis and Marley are complete unknowns. Imagine if Banks got hurt?

I recall @griddie , who knows football in NC, saying he didn't see Marley on defense as he wasn't a downhill player.

Also, unless a LB is producing at a high level and transferring up, I'm not that interested. Otherwise they likely were beat out and looking for an easier path to PT.

Or...their current team just fired the entire staff and they don't want to play there anymore (as is the case in most I shared).

I just want quality SEC bodies at ILB. I still don't know if Eason can play there as heavy as he is but he's also still on roster.

Funny how de1 was on here 7am but has disappeared after the strong finish. No team is winning a championship with a bunch of NPA kids.

Aww bless your heart. Not understanding thats a position of need

There's still the portal, very few linebackers it out high school should see the field in the first year save special teams anyway.

Biggest knock on Huepel was recruiting, in his first year he closed on who he should have and turned a few. He exceeded my expectations today. No reason at all for negativity today Eeyore!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Like Bruin.

Nope not him

ESPN should drop college football player rankings. It’s always been trash.

Like Bruin.

Or Chief

So we're just going to ignore the obvious holes and then bitch about it next fall. Got it

[mr.checkerboards]

Here yall want some positivity. How about this
Its nice to see AM get all that talent just to go 10-2 or 9-3 every year. That work?

 

[headhunter15]

great finish today.

#10 on rivals, #14 on on3, #13 on 247.

elarbee signed his highest ever recruit.
ekeler signed two of this top highest ranked recruits.
golesh signed three of his highest ranked recruits. his highest is ethan davis in the '23 class.
banks signed his highest ranked recruit.
mack signed his top three highest ranked recruits.

think its time to put the "can't recruit" noise to bed. it's only going to be an easier sell when we win 9 next year. i'm pumped.

This and this.

If we were done you might be onto something........ But you're just determined to be Eeyore, sorry no one wants to play miserable with you.

LB is down the list of most important positions. OL, DL, QB drive the success of a team. Everyone else is dependent on those. Yes we need LB, but we did really well at the positions that matter most.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

So intresting not. Jordan James running back out of Oakland TN still isnt listed as signed anywhere. AP mentioned a surprise visitor a couple weeks ago.
Maybe?
I just looked it up, he's signing in February.

 

[VolzMan53]

Moving on Up.....

It’s ESD. There is still a lot of time. We only signed 20 players. I agree, LB is a much needed position of need. But, enjoy today.

He said we weren’t getting Evans and Nolen because if NIL. That seems to be holding true.

For the love of Mike! Watching the live chat stream during the press conference is like being in this forum sometimes. @Enki_Amenra I just saw you post!

According to the VQ podcast yesterday, James was a TN lock before Pruitt got fired.
