Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[pierce60]

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.

I’m not sure they have to have a lights out recruiter at OC. That’s a position where success really recruits itself and with this staff they’ve proven to be able to recruit with anyone so far.

This needs to be experienced play caller who can developer a QB.

 

[JAllen18]

Freeze gets announced tomorrow or the deal fell through. Gotta set our sights on Enos at that point.

 

[BeecherVol]

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

He and Pittman both would have to turn down a couple of good offers.

 

[SeanJean]

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.

“Yeah. We would never do that.” -Keller Chryst

 

[SpringBokVol]

I haven't really heard or seen anything to suggest Pruitt won't get the guy he wants.

Chris Low is dialed in - his news is the only news I trust from a media perspective at this point.

 

[nesbuddha66]

Thoughts?

Why would Francois wanna come here I wonder?

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Exactly this

But that's my point, Bass. What if that ISN'T what's going on? What if Pruitt decided he wanted to go a different direction? I just don't think it's worth getting this upset over yet until we know more facts.

If it's Haslam I'll go pee in all of Pilot's coffee dispensers (JUST KIDDING, I'm not allowed in Pilot anymore)

Either are fine, but if both fall through....

lets burn this mfer down

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

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.

Brent Davis book it




Relax everyone we have options

 

[Jimmy Football]

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.

Bulls eye.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

I’m hoping for Freeze, but let’s be honest every name in consideration is an upgrade. Enos and Drink would be here longer than a year, Freeze May be one and done. Still want Freeze, but this is not as critical as last year we should probably calm down on the Haslam and BOT rumors.

Keeping an OC past 2019 probably veryy important if you're planning on holding onto Bailey

If true, why? What is the reason for all the fud? Just say thing are under consideration, we are trying to work out a deal.

 

[Kingston Vol]

If Freeze was in Tallahassee today that explains the hold up perfectly.

We tried to hire the damn guy and he put us on the back burner to interview somewhere else.

 

[Smokey123]

 

[rjd970]

If I’m Pruitt and ANY of the stuff with the BOT is true I’m hiring whoever is easiest to push through and immediately planning my exit strategy. This is F’n ridiculous.

That said, I think (hope) this is nothing more than massive trolling and Pruitt nails down Freeze tomorrow. Introduces him at the press conference, says you all are a bunch of crazies that need medication, we fixin to run the table in SEC next year, drops the mic and walks off the stage.

Cornbread *itches.

Sorry, but this is some Grumor level nonsense and makes no sense on any level.

 

[ILVFL]

Interesting news here in Illinois, the Illini still suck with Lovie at the helm.....

 

[MrVolton]

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.

My feelings exactly.

 

[UTSuave’]

Thoughts?

If indeed the case Pruitt is a complete dumba$$ at what he is allowing to unfold.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

“Yeah. We would never do that.” -Keller Chryst

We had bigger need at the QB position and had room.

This recruiting year we don’t have room for a transfer QB.

Follow recruiting. K thanks.

 

[reVOLution33]

I may be off base, but it genuinely felt at the start like most everyone here was excited about any of Freeze, Lindsey, Enos, or Drinkwitz, but then everyone got googly-eyed over Freeze beating Bama twice (despite the fact that he is dirty as hell and we all know it) and decided it was Freeze or everything else was dumpster garbage. I'll admit that I will be very underwhelmed if it's, like, Will Friend, but I just don't think we need to sink all our hopes for Tennessee's rise or fall on this one guy.

Not drinkwitz.

I don’t think it’s the Haslams. If Pruitt wants to go a different direction that’s fine. It’s his decision. He has to get this hire right tho

Y’all know what’s between Knoxville and Tallahassee?
