Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Liked what I saw from Helton yesterday. He's getting a lot better as a play caller IMO.

It's got everything to do with the O-line man. Last night they played well and look what happened. I have been very pleased with Helton throughout the year.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Maybe Tee will finally come home.

Maybe Tee will finally come home.

As an intern maybe. He can keep his ass in Cali.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I know it's unlikely but I wish JJ would return for his senior year.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Maybe Tee will finally come home.

If I were him I think I would take my opportunity to be a head coach somewhere in the CUSA or Sun Belt. He’s turned down opportunities to interview for spots like that over the last couple of years.

Jennings might be my favorite Tennessee player over the last decade

 

[Kingston Vol]

I know it's unlikely but I wish JJ would return for his senior year.

Why is it unlikely? With his injury history and given the all of his speed and athleticism are gone, he should know he’s much more valuable to us than to NFL scouts.

People on here talking bout Richmond, Jennings, and Taylor going pro are confusing the hell out of me.

Kesling repeatedly on the JP show this morning
"Benny SCHnell" and "Jeratano". He's got to just be trolling at this point, has to be.

I heard the first part of the broadcast yesterday, and he was calling him Schnell then too.

I always love the coaching carousel. USC is a big job. It will force a lot of dominoes to fall.

Just hope we're not on it for a while.

Richmond is more likely to be at Memphis next year than the NFL.

Not much surprised me about today. I saw exactly what I expected to see from Kentucky.

What did shock the hell out of me was seeing Bennent get important snaps both early in the game and late. That was a shocker

Another sign this staff knows wtf it's doing. Played the bigger body on the edge vs a run team instead of being stupid and seeing if Johnson could hold up. Plays players accdg to the matchup

It certainly helps to have a good OL. But compare the play calling between the UF game and last night or even the Auburn game. He is calling a better game.

Remember saying that when Carroll left

 

[Paper_Towel]

Honest question. Would you rather play an ACC team or a Big 10 team in a bowl game?

I'm thinking Wisconsin. They seem to be like Kentucky, good defense, all run offense with no passing game. I was thinking NorthWestern but it seems as if they're going to the Citrus bowl.

 

[UTProf]

I believe this QB thing in college is a big curve for JG. He's head and shoulders better than last year but still a ways to go, yesterday was a great step forward. He moved much better in the pocket there's a chance he becomes a really good overall QB, I've never had doubt in his arm and really believe he's learning to feel the pressure.

That one throw on the run he had was great awareness and great accuracy on an extremely difficult pass. If he can keep making those sorts of plays (and they are not easy) he will become a deadly QB in the future.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Not disagreeing but I think he my be ready to move on from school and start the next chapter. With his size I think he can still be a decent possession receiver in the league.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Just looked at the schedule for next year and man...it looks a lot better than this year...8 home games...I see 10 winnable games on that schedule..

 

[KokoBVol]

Richmond is more likely to be at Memphis next year than the NFL.

Was thinking the same thing

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Doug Matthews just said he believes (presumably based on inside info) that we are getting a high profile running back from TN in this class. Who is he talking about? Didn't know TN had any such prospects in-state this cycle. Maybe he misspoke and meant a high profile back from out of state?

 

[Kingston Vol]

I get that for sure. I don’t blame anyone for getting tired of faking it through school when they want to be doing something else.

Unfortunately I just don’t think he’s an NFL guy anymore. He may prefer to stick it out here over battling for a camp spot. I don’t know though.

Figure Clay Helton is out at USC, lost to Cal last night for the first time in 14 years

If he makes it another year, keep an eye on Urb. He might "retire" again after this year, and he'd be the man at Southern Cal after they fire Helton after next season. Have heard a couple mention that.

How many went last year that could have used another year? Sometimes it's not about how high you go in the draft but just ready to start a new chapter. Also, we see it every year where kids have a an over inflated opinion of their skill level. If I had to place money on it, I don't think jj will be back. JMO
