Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Imagine what Evans could’ve been this year

A huge distraction like he was last year.

And Tyler was born in 1790 for additional context

My grandfather just sent me a bunch of Ancestry stuff and it takes me 6 generations to get that far back. Absolutely wild that John Tyler's is only 3.

It has to absolutely eat Virginia Tech fans up to see Hooker doing so wel at UT

I've actually asked about this and get 2 responses. 1. They're happy for him and pull for him. They don't hold anything against him and blame Fuente.
2. They don't care. He wasn't helping VT, lost his spot on the depth chart, so he left and took an opportunity somewhere else. Best of luck.

Haven't talked to one that's mad about it. It's quite surprising.

Swain just said after scrimmage Small is that dude, and will be one of the best backs in SEC.

Development is amazing.

As noted in Eric‘s practice reports the last few practices, Bru McCoy is banged up and did not participate in today’s scrimmage. This has nothing to do with eligibility as someone on campus told us earlier today that there is great optimism that this gets resolved in the next 7 to 10 days or so. We all know how that goes but there is optimism.

Small did good last year and was playing with a bum shoulder literally the whole year. A healthy Small gets 1,000 yards this year easily.

We’re going to average 50 points a game.

Last year I seen a lot of their fans still like Hooker, but hated how the coaching staff did him

Might be an ignorant question. Would being ineligible be the worst thing for him/us? Healthy Bru in this offense across from Tillman is an incredible thought. But maybe a year off to get in shape, get healthy, and learn the offense/pace would be best for him to break out next year. And we have plenty of dogs worthy of PT.

 

[justinvol88]

Pitt game refs would call him out at the 3.

The Purdue ref would stop forward progress at the 2 as soon as the hit happened.

My imagination conjures visions of being injury prone and checked out.

We want him playing…. He is not that out of shape or injured…. He will be fine.

3/4 years not competing on the field isn’t a good thing. He needs reps…badly.

My imagination conjures visions of being healthier than Small who was giving his all and checked out.

He already had a year off. . .

Where are we getting this Swain info? I need more Swain

According to who? The fans? Evans was a beast and would be the best back again this year

I’d feel like the VT coaches suck

Tallest little person health wise last season…adding Wright to the equation. Always prefer players who want to be here. Not interested in tricking players into buying our culture…waste of effort.

He could've, could've, been a great rb. He couldn't get out of his own way, mentally. . . and, of course, injuries. If he was dialed in like Small, he would've been among the very best rbs in the nation.

Kyler isn't even "a" numbnuts. He's a VFL, with an incredible amount of football IQ, and decent access. Don't let the sidekick and poor production fool you.

Right. the sidekick is hard to listen too for sure.
