Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Wow would be a big loss for Arky and big for the Canes

Why leave? It doesn’t get any better than Sam Pittman. He’s as high character as they come in this game.

I think Arkansas has some obvious limitations with playing in the sec west against some of the elite in college football, he has not ties to Arkansas and Miami has a higher ceiling but that’s just me

All valid points.

People may give me ****, but I think if UT were in a better place and had better coaching for the QB position when he got here, he would be leading the SEC in passing. JMO

I don’t remember…if it was you, jump up and claim it brutha!

Well, at least make sure he sees it. @you

I have eaten here before and lived to tell about it.

Eaten there a few times. Definitely one of the worst CBs, I have been to.

Damn, what a difference a year can make. From dejected and miserable to upbeat and hopeful! This is definitely an anniversary that I will celebrate for many years to come.
Cornbread free for 1 year and counting!

Indeed!

Good grief AP. Down boy.

What did he say?

I don’t think he is that good but we will see at UNLV.

Another honest question. In what game or what particular throw did Hooker do something that gives all this confidence in him? He made the throws that were there I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but most of the plays made were because the recievers were schemed wide open, or tempo and the DB just got burnt. When did he throw guys open or hit a guy in tight coverage, the big throws that need to be made in order to beat some of the better teams on our schedule? Honestly not trolling just trying to understand what others saw

Funny how you are using arguments like this to rag on Hooker. Nobody said anything of the sort when Bryce Young, Mack Jones or Joe Burrow were throwing to NFL WRs that constantly burnt DBs and were wide open. Nobody said this when Lawrence or Justin Fields were hitting wide open WRs for huge plays. You are literally trying to put down one of the best QBs we have had in recent history.

I think that’s a possibility. I honestly believe Bailey was ruined by Pruitt and his terrible staff.

 

[butchna]

I’m still 20+ pages behind but if UT is self-imposing a 10 scholarships reduction then they really can go **** themselves

Then what?

He’s a confirmed nomad. Just add it to his scouting report.

Might like the idea of living in Miami, FL vs Fayetteville, AR.

What does Darnell Washington and Arik Gilbert do now that that other guy has emerged as TE1 and is only a freshman

 

[Devo182]

Competitive reasons.

Bingo.

Recruiting is a game of assymetric information, much like poker. You never show your opponent your hand.

I think one of them will transfer after spring honestly unless said TE gets injured

They work 24/7. I’m not sure how much “living” they do.. but perhaps.

 

[Geaux_Vols]

Best of luck to the kid

Btw nice edit @Geaux_Vols

thank ya, sir

...at least they dont have Cov...nm.

 

[swchandler1988]

LSU lost a lot in the portal, too. They’ve lost 4/5 stars and don’t think they are replacing them with guys who are rated the same.

Yep they’re best pick ups so far are this Missouri player and Noah Cain

Edit: this Missouri LB sucks. 27 tackles for the year. Had 2 solo tackles against us this year

I hadn’t paid attention to their losses? Anyone good?

 

[Devo182]

I'll be curious to hear what happened with HB. When he entered the portal, Fl, KY, GT, and Cal were pursuing him. Really thought Cal was going to be the destination. Not sure what happened for him to end up at UNLV. Maybe he didn't perform well in workouts? Will be interested to hear.

Too slow in the head/body/processing. He just doesn't have it at this level, granted SEC is the top of the top.

He may do just fine at a lower level with a slower, play-action based offense.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

There are maybe ten guys in college who are above the bar you are setting for Hooker.

I get the criticism but let’s not pretend that being a proficient, consistent quarterback in the Power 5 is common.

Bray and Dobbs could probably be lumped in with Hooker in terms of their abilities to will their respective teams to win and those three guys are far above the next tier of QBs at UT over the past 20ish years.

I was thinking about Bray earlier today. Him Patterson, Rogers, and a healthy Hunter would've been fun in this offense.
