Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[delfonic]

Are we back on the ascent side of the roller coaster now? Quince nada!

 

[SeanJean]

Ooh I didn’t really think about him. I think it’s pretty close after looking at both resumes.

No. It. Isn’t.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

I trust John Brice over anyone. He said it's in UTs hands now with Freeze. Said if it doesn't get done with Freeze then they will hit the reset switch. Could be wide open again after tomorrow.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Y’all going to mess around and talk yourselves into liking the idea of @Bassmaster_Vol for OC

Give me that Helton money

 

[NMVol]

I guess the Gruden II thread had to migrate somewhere.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Lots of variables there. Yes, if all five of those pieces fit together, they'd make up a pretty ugly picture. But that's quite some circumstance.

Problem is, we'll never know the true story. If administration is handcuffing Fulmer/Pruitt I wish it would come to light. If that's the case, Fulmer needs to leak the crap out of it to the media.

 

[Specs]

It's not like passing on the big names has worked out well for us

 

[ChismsHeadband]

I don't think we get Drinkwitz because he is up tempo. I don't think hes a bad OC, but he is not a good recruiter.

Being exclusively up-tempo is so 2014.

Most coaches try to emulate it when they need to, but there's no all-the-time up-tempo anymore, unless Chip revives it at UCLA.

 

[BruinVol]

Watched a lot of NC State this year. Their line was pretty bad as well I thought, but he did a great job in getting Finley out of the pocket. I would have no problem seeing him here, and a bunch of my State buddies would be pissed to see him go.

Did he run a fast pace offense?

I don't recall them going fast but a few post ago it said he did. Just clarifying

Pruitt be like

That’s what position coaches and Pruitt are for.

But we still can't just make up stories and pretend they're true.

Thoughts?

Yeah, it's not gonna hurt my feelings one bit, if it's him; would rather have Enos though.

 

[Skizer41]

At least Bailey is still excited haha

 

[chavisut]

Not here lately. Life’s been crazy and I have a new job that requires me to be in the office most Saturdays and the games are on Saturdays. I still try and go and play pick up with some of the guys every so often when I can though.

Who did/do you play for?

 

[SpringBokVol]

I talked to someone today, who knows of the efforts around the PR machine. It looks to have worked to a T.

if still on plan (no reason to believe otherwise) it will be done tomorrow.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Thoughts?

If we don’t land Freeze I hope he goes to Bama and we get Enos. That’s best case scenario right now imo

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Thoughts?

Lost all credibility when they said Deondre Francois was likely to end up at Tennessee.

We aren’t going to waste our numbers on a transfer QB when we have a Freshman coming in and need more Defensive players.

 

[BeecherVol]

Freeze to the Vols tomorrow

Interesting.

 

[SeanJean]

I have no problem if Freeze isn’t the guy, but I have a big problem if our head coach wants him and all the usual UT nonsense is preventing that from happening.

 

[jakez4ut]

But we still can't just make up stories and pretend they're true.

Lol.

The hell we can't!!

 

[ChismsHeadband]

He’s better than our last two, but that’s not saying much

We still know we're going through a pretty serious re-build. Here are the two ends of the spectrum, where reality may fall somewhere in between:

1) We get Freeze, and he impresses enough to get a HC gig after only one year, while the Vols still go what.. 7-5? Maybe 8-4 if HF is that big of a success? And then we're back to square 1 looking for another OC for the 2020 season.

2) We get Drink/whoever, who is here for two years, and is still stuck behind a slaw OL. It may cost us a win or two, but we should still be bowl eligible. And in the grand scheme of a 5-year rebuild, the difference between 6-6 and 7-5 ain't that much.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Exactly this

Didn’t notice anything extreme, everybody incorporates some sort of up-tempo nowadays. They’d get to the line quick after a big play occasionally, but it’s not like they were going 3-and-out every 25 seconds.
