Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[UTMVol76]

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?

That's not possible since they recruiting so many highly ranked players.

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

Banks = RB outta HS
Beasley = ATH outta HS (RB/S)
Page = OLB outta HS
Willis = OLB outta HS
Mohan = ATH outta HS

Pretty rare to get a true ILB outta HS is my point, the last ILBs we recruited are Whitehead/Eason/French.

We also got Perry/Herring in this class and both are LBs with the right size for playing inside. With the depth we add from Pearce/Josephs could see Roman moved back to ILB (where he's cross-trained a ton at)

Barstool already has a bunch of NIL deals mostly with barstool athletes… Tyler Baron is a barstool athlete. He’s sponsored by the macrodosing barstool podcast with Arian Foster. One of the co-hosts is a big UT fan too. Not sure what type of compensation Baron is getting though.

Baron is fluent in pterodactyl?

Bring me Copeland, M'bay, Verse, a OL, a DB, and a couple LB's in the portal and let's scare the hell outa ery-one next season...

How many spots we got left...6 or 7? Do we just fill the rest up with transfers or are there any other kids we might go after?

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

Must have gotten a happy meal from Chaney and Pruitt

I like that nugget.
Snagging him and Anderson in February. Would be sweet.

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!

Haha, just messing with the "I can't hear" guy.

Thats my point thought, I want guys who have played that position and learned it their whole life. Banks is good but hes still learning
Beasley ehhh this year
Willis who knows
Page not great
Mohan who knows.

Me walking into work tomorrow morning after ESP today.

So, Heupel's first season record and his first class look like the best since... Kiffin?

Not bad given what we've been through and what he inherited...

Butch had higher rated classes than Kiffin, and Kiffin’s class was garbage off of paper.

 

[drvenner]

Seriously, how many of you all thought today would turn out like it did?

I am beyond thrilled.

Negavols might actually shut up for a few minutes.

 

[Rishvol]

50 pages behind.... So this is what doc feels like every day

suck ass day.....don't be in a rush

 

[RiseToTheTop]

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

I really don’t care at all about those two. Truly.

People should not harp on LB being a place of need. We did great getting teams to 3rd down. Then we let them get a first on 3rd. We need pass rush and corners. You can put a safety in at one LB spot on 3rd down passing plays. Better for chasing QB anyway. LB is far down my list of needs for UT.

Jesus Georgia, Alabama, A&M, Ohio State are basically gobbling up all of the Top 300 players. It was bad before but take a look now and their average numbers are improving Blue Chip wise. Sheesh 95% of their classes or better are 4’s and 5’s

Moving on Up.....
