Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[volfanCLT]

ha I've been chasing 200. Sitting at 199 the other day.

Lol I’m trying to go the other way. Sitting at 192-193 and shooting for 185.

Pre 25 I could eat whatever I wanted, last few years gotta start to watch my snacks. Oh to be 22 again.

We may have dodged a bullet. Would he have Kiffin'd us?

More likely than not imo

 

[Ron Swanson]

Alma mater would be the only reason...if they matched the money and in a weaker conference.

No way would we hire a coach and not have too big of a buyout in place to protect against that so early in the contract. Unless of course we brought back Mike Hamilton to work out the details.

Ole Dan Hyams

Kind of a mute point anyway. He didn't take our job because of that job potentially being open. He wanted them listed as an exception on his buyout while we said no

We had John Currie at the time.

Sleegro?

Yeah been missing lately. Always had pretty good take on things

 

[bpvol]

Wright, Pappoe, Gray and Payton would be a good haul. Flip Watson and Logue, keep all the current recruits we want, lose a few we can afford to lose, add a high-potential power back and close with another biggish fish-- that would give us 16-17 early signees and significantly upgrade the roster at positions of need.

Would be phenomenal!

 

[Coach Punk]

I don’t see Isaac Taylor-Smith or Olaijah Griffin. Or a bunch of other guys we offered. I do see a couple of Vols, though. I don’t think anybody was reasonably expecting the performance we got from Thompson and Taylor.

That dude sings like he's pulling his soul up from the heels of his boots. Super talented.

Amazing. I've been lucky enough to see him twice in the last few months.

Really hoping to see Tyler Childers eventually.

The underlying factor Pruitt though?. If not BT and AT probably would see ITS and OG on that cool graphic with orange Ts next to their name.

 

[Batman1948]

That's a really good stat and these guys deserve the recognition but I'll be glad when we get to the day when we redshirt our freshmen. At that point, we will have ascended to the top of the SEC

yeah. that's an OG and ITS problem though.

I wonder how much love Terry Fair deserves here?

Haven't seen, or I've missed it, info on just how involved Fair is, when it comes to the CB's. Everyone assumes that it's mostly Pruitt, and it may be; but, I wonder how much of it is Fair? I'd love some info on how practices and meetings go, when it comes to the corners. Is it mostly Pruitt with that group, and Fair just helps out; or is it truly Terry Fair's group, and Pruitt helps out, you know?

If it's Fair's group, we may be looking at a coach who'll be a DC somewhere, soon.

With his background and resume, I bet he's a big part of their success. If he's not, we'll know soon enough because Pruitt is gonna have to just be a head coach at some point. The job is too big for our head coach to also be an assistant coach.

There’s something about Childers’ music that really translates live. I think it’s that they’re so easy to sing along too.

I’ve been to 10 or so shows at the Bijou and it’s never been louder than when he was there.

Would love to see him live! Listen to him quite a bit. Funny story, not really, but kinda, my buddies 15 yo old daughter caught onto him from us listening to him on the boat and at our river lot, she did a high school music project on Tyler Childers.

 

[VFLneedsSPEED]

It doesn’t. He could simply be excited to graduate college. It wouldn’t shock me if he does but I believe that’s reading into something not there.

Why can’t the kid celebrate getting his degree early? He is very excited and should be.....

 

[VFLneedsSPEED]

Did anyone ever mention whats going on behind the scenes with this situation?

Too much for any of you too handle. The kid is solid!

With that haul and the amount of EE's, we'll be competing for the east by 2020.

 

[VFLneedsSPEED]

Speculation on my behalf. Noted spat with staff on sideline during a game this year. Hasn't received playing time this year. Vague tweet implying someone was lying to him. Etc...

I'm betting he found out in team meetings today that he, yet again, will not be seeing the field much vs Mizzou, which led to this tweet. Again, just my speculation.

That’s not how they do it, at all! lol. His tweet wasn’t vague... he said, “he NEVER was asked to go in or did he ever refuse to play in the UF game”.


That’s clearly ..... someone LIED on me and I closed not to throw anyone under the bus, tweet!!!

 

[swchandler1988]

Am i insane for thinking we could compete for the east next year? Obviously wouldn’t be dominant, but UGA isn’t who we thought they were IMO

Respectfully disagree. To me, he sounds like he's just waking up from having his wisdom teeth removed.
