Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Where does the - come from? What could they have done, realistically, that they didn't accomplish to earn an A+ grade?

Win Pitt and Ole Miss

 

[Orange.]

Time will tell. Fact is we have one SEC level LB vs unproven players “who will probably be more ready”.

Maybe you should explain these things to Heupel since you think he doesn't know, doesn't have a plan, didn't make a strong run for some today, doesn't know the portal exists, isn't a master at it, and that you are the "truth" "warrior" who can save us.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Can’t you just wait one day before focusing on what is wrong while we are celebrating a great day that no one thought was possible?

I mean, not to mention we potentially lose ZERO LBs (if Mitchell returns) while also adding 2 more.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Don't be a penny-pinching Grinch like @InVOLuntary . Give a gift to your fellow Vols. Buy us a good player.

Working on this guy....

 

[SweetasSoda]

Objectively speaking if you aren’t pleased with a chance to win 8 games and a top 10-15ish class then your expectations need to be more realistic. All and all I would put an A- grade on 2021 for this staff.

Thank you
And they say they’re just being real.

Win Pitt and Ole Miss

That's realistic after the fact. What's impressive, and I'd argue points more to an A+, is the fact he had us prepared and in a position to even be in those games.

 

[De La Cloobs]

Hopefully. Bama doesn't need him. I would have LOVED for him to be a Vol.

Same, really wanted that guy. He would have lit it up here

Beat Pitt and one of Florida/Ole Miss would have been the A+ ceiling. They did blow my expectations out of the water.

Hey fellas...know what makes my cold heart warm up like hot cocoa???

Florida made a huge jump today. Kudos to the gators.

There is always going to be a weakness. Even AL and GA had a weakness this year.

 

[InVOLuntary]

One thing I have to say to the TN recruits who didn’t want to rep their flagship state university:




Screw you. You’ve been replaced now. We’re loaded without your help and gonna make you regret it.

/rant

And don't come knocking when you hit the portal either.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Yep. Kirby talking after signing day how thin they were at DB and they weren't able to address that as well as they wanted to. Also, losing Tyre West cost them #1 recruiting ranking.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Beat Pitt and one of Florida/Ole Miss would have been the A+ ceiling. They did blow my expectations out of the water.

I mentioned above, that would've been awesome to win those, but having us prepared and in a position to win those games is more than what anyone expected. Having us that far along to even compete in those games is more of a bonus than a negative on his 1st year performance.

 

[ThisIsTheYearVol]

What is the scoop on Davison Igbinosun?

 

[Brillovol]

So sick of hearing about Tennessee recruits. Hope they are second guessing themselves. We do not have to get players from within the borders. Really hope our two RBs get more yards than the other two.

Same girl. Same.

 

[ChattownVFL]

Eli Ricks transferring to bama. of course

 

[Orangeburst]

That's realistic after the fact. What's impressive, and I'd argue points more to an A+, is the fact he had us prepared and in a position to even be in those games.

Gotta say I like my jalapeño cornbread, but the biscuits are mighty fine

 

[99Vol]

I wouldn't waste much time watching this, maybe just a few seconds of Napier blaming others from about 1:40 til about 3mins or so. He may gone on crying more, but I didn't watch further into it . . oh flawda, what have you done?

Mentioning having a very detailed plan 16 times means you don’t have shat….

 

[Weezer]

Working on this guy....

A kicker?? Doc is working on a kicker, too. Why can't you guys buy us a nice QB or LB or RB?

 

["It's Time"]

Just heard from someone pretty reliable that Jahmyr Gibbs is staying at GT.

Example A of a kid who thought he was about to get paid, then realized he wasn’t going to get paid by a top flight school.

 

[Batman1948]

I kinda stayed away from here today but it looks like we really brought in a solid class with a few late surprises. Since we only signed 20 today, and it's been mentioned that we could possibly sign as many as 32, is it possible that we self imposed a penalty of 5 recruits for the recruiting violations of the previous staff?
If that's the case, it looks like we may have room for up to 7 transfers if the staff chooses to use them and we get to the 85 limit by fall camp.

I offered the guy a $100 Toys4Us gift card and the little effer didn't fall for it. Said there are no more Toys4Us stores.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

He set it up as all the players that signed today were from the previous staff. That takes all accountability off his staff if/when things don't go well with this class in the future. Kinda smart, but also shows that he's preparing for failure.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

When Tyre West shocks the world and signs with Tennessee, it won't be so dead anymore.

 

[Batman1948]

Example A of a kid who thought he was about to get paid, then realized he wasn’t going to get paid by a top flight school.

I saw a clip of Lane Kiffin talking about recruits getting paid more money to attend other schools and not coming to Ole Pi$$. I didn't think coaches were suppose to talk about recruits making money. The clip was on the SEC Network today and I only caught part of it. It sounded weird to hear him talking about it.
