Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Ramon Jefferson apparently in the UTK student directory.

I stated similar. Prove me wrong.

Just go look at the class rankings. It shows you how many 3* vs 4* and 5* every team has committed.

Every team in the top 10, with the exception of UT (we’re now 11th so every team in the top 10), has more blue chip recruits committed than 3*. Their ratios are not like UT’s

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Home run threat out of the backfield. Speed, experience, depth. Take.

I’d still take him due to the potential but I do hope he has solved some of his off-field issues. I don’t think he’s ever been in trouble or anything (as far as I know) but I know he’s had some “I better be the starter or I’m leaving” type drama in the past.

How much difference percentage wise by star level. I said similar so that gives me some leeway.

all we can do is pull for the kid

But luckily for him hes going to get carries as long as hes healthy. The way we run offense and the way we run the ball will give him opportunities. Dude is talented. Sucks to see anyone get injured but this kid is a major talent upgrade for sure.

Obviously I would hope our coaches are smart enough to filter out a me-first guy or weigh the pros/cons of what brings talent vs personality.

So nice of this Osprey to carry this fish on a tour of the woods... Teamwork makes the dreamwork.

lol.

A few days ago I saw a bird flying with a fish that looked to be 1/3 to 1/2 his body weight. The bird was having a helluva time trying to fly. He was about 6-8 ft off the ground and struggling.

I’m sure they have, and the big reason I said I’d still take him was his potential. I think this locker rooms leadership will be able to handle him even if he does come out as a me-first guy too. Evans last year was supposedly a bit of that as well. So not worried as much as just hoping he’s put it behind him for his sake.

Sorry off topic:
Looking at Braves Labor Day Weekend tix. Any VRBO or place to stay recommendations?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Utknate moves to the edge of his seat. . .

 

[Jack Burton]

LJ Dixon on campus per AP

Dixon would feast in Heupel’s offense. A real TD threat on any given play.

@Jackcrevol out here laboring on the river like some caveman when he could have an osprey do his bidding

 

[SSVol]

I was confused. At first glance, the 'f' looked like a second 't'. "Shiftiest" is better.

 

[UTProf]

Those NE teams were so bad ass in their glory though. At least they were not trash like Miami

They were roided up. Cornfed I'm sure.

I knew we would agree one day!

That superlative has already been given out.

 

[SweetasSoda]

That’s appalling.
Edit… in response to Enki’s post about the little man NE professor. Not sure why it would not show up.

 

[TheRain]

Yeah, our orange is better.

Percentage wise we are closest to OU and Miami in top 10. And it’s still not that close.

ND - 90% blue chip
OSU - 89
UGA - 78
Bama - 87
Texas - 70
Clemson - 89
OU - 56
PSU - 78
Miami - 56
LSU - 71

Vols - 42

FL - 88

we were 7-6 and lost to a ****** team in the Music Chode Bowl

Im happy with this class. Maybe a higher rated DL and LB.

Need a CB.

We are doing an outstanding job on the trail, no doubt

The professor who allegedly mocked and derided students (in this case, players) in their classroom and incorporated the insults into classroom curriculum? Absolutely.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I could send nudz to every member of Congress.

Pretty happy with seeing their plan of not putting too much pressure on guys, pay off.
