Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Ainge and Rice on air trying to convince people hiring Freeze is hypocritical after the refusal to hire Schiano. Or at least that's how I am taking their stance.

I am having an extremely hard time understanding how people can equate witnessing and not stopping, or even reporting the horror of child rape, and hiring hookers for some horny football players.

It blows my mind that it is even an issue..

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Hiring Freeze makes the rest of the SEC nervous. That's a fact.

Now Bailey gets to do some recruiting. Pruitt made sure Bailey knew that he would be an extra recruiter if he selected Tennessee.

“Coach Pruitt has always told me that in the 2020 class, he wanted me and he wanted me to go recruit guys I want to play with. He has told me to let them know who I want to get and they will help me build this class.

“I want to definitely get some top offensive linemen and wide receivers. I have my teammate Arik Gilbert, wide receivers Porter Rooks and Joshua Downs and some others already in mind. I will be recruiting for sure.”

-Simmons

Gilbert is a 5-star ATH ranked #8 on rivals, and the receivers are 4-stars ranked #41 and #220 nationally.

Let's freaking go.

Goon Squad, y'all.

Imagine what Freeze could do with Bailey!

Yeah, that's some false equivalence action right there. Still don't think either are a good look for us after settling that Title IX lawsuit.

But whatevs, if it's ol' beaverteeth, have him watch the first two seasons of The Wire so he knows how burner phones work and let's ride.

Let's freaking go.

Gilbert isn't an OT (offensive tackle)...

 

[InVOLuntary]

The good thing is, shotgun, quick passing game is an OLs best friend.

Something we missed this year and I was begging for.

 

[jakez4ut]

Gilbert isn't an OT (offensive tackle)...

i was about to say the same...ATH iirc. definite want. and REggie Grimes.

 

[HankHill]

Yea same which surprised me Bc UsC did a ton of that. I swear they screen a WR screen every other play.

 

[JAllen18]

Wonder if Bailey was told who the OC would be by Pruitt.

 

[Catbone]

Most places he's been didn't have OLs as bad as ours

That's a fact

 

[engineerVOL]

No no, you see OT = Offensive Terror

 

[revjayp]

If Pruitt hires Freeze, Ill forgive him for losing to Vandy. We’re even.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

 

[McGeesPub]

So any indication if Bailey will reclassify?

 

[butchna]

Sure juco makes sense

It allows him to play instead of sitting out and losing a year

And it doesn't matter if the juco plays football or not

He loses the year if he plays at JUCO anyway...he redshirted this year. If he has a match, the best route is to practice in their system for a season..if he has a match. You’re kinda right on that last part, but if he has a scholarship and/or takes part in team activities the eligibility clock is ticking...if he’s not it isn’t.






NB4 lol

 

[Jimmy Football]

Wonder if Bailey was told who the OC would be by Pruitt.

It would be pretty cold of Pruitt to keep him out of the loop. I'm sure Pruitt filled him on the new OC, but probably told him to play it cool and keep it on ice until they were ready to announce.

 

[Vols410]

Gilbert isn't an OT (offensive tackle)...

Fixed. Thanks!

 

[engineerVOL]

So any indication if Bailey will reclassify?

He tweeted earlier basically “No, knock it off, and leave me alone” lol

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

That Bailey commitment should give us a lot of confidence for the class closing. This isn't intern Jones. Pruitt is an elite recruiter. He's going to land Pappoe and it wouldn't surprise me to see him flip some guys that people right now would say we have no shot at.

 

[roosterjbh]

So any indication if Bailey will reclassify?

He tweeted he will not today
