Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

No. Which made his retirement party really awkward.





Seriously, just announced earlier today. Not much info prior that I had heard.

Heard Phil had one for Holly yesterday afternoon. She wasn’t too into it so they had to have a chat

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Sorry! I was trying to be funny about someone saying we acted like they didn't have a weight room before Pruitt got here.

@LA Vol must have missed Hanks dumb comment the other day.

 

[Orange Studs]

You know I meant I have the freedom on this country to serve God...right? Thought I made that clear.

Yes just following up on your comment. I didn't clarify my bad on that.

@LA Vol must have missed Hanks dumb comment the other day.

Yeah, that wasn't a good one at all seeing that it was reported over and over that there was no discipline in the weight room and it showed in those pics of the team.

Walz is a great candidate and likely our first choice. I trust Gene Healey and his reporting but let’s be honest, when was the last time we got our first choice?

Apparently Walz has used us for a raise before, so while I would have no qualms with him getting the job, I’d like to throw around some other names.

My first two calls would be to Kara Lawson and Becky Hammon. Two brilliant basketball minds. One has an NBA job, the other has turned multiple NBA offers down.

Kellie Harper makes a lot of sense if we’re targeting former Lady’s Vols.

You lost me at Kara Lawson. Zippo, nada, zero coaching experience. No thanks.

You guys think it will be tough to buy tickets off the street tomorrow?

Bought tickets off seatgeek yesterday with next day air. The seller didn’t even drop them off at UPS to be shipped so I got screwed.

That sucks. You get any type of refund?

The freedom I have is in Christ. I don't live how I want to live I live how He wants me to live and His word shows me how. I don't live for myself amy more I live for Him. I died so He may live His life in and through me. I must very moment appropriate that principle. As Paul said, " For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." Die in the sense die to my will, my wants, my way, for His.

It's tough but God is good. Thank goodness He forgives, shows mercy and has more than enough grace no matter what.

I gotcha..your post was beautifully written and totally agree.

I listened to a podcast by Pat Dooley (Gator sports) discussing with Robbie Andreu spring practice so far with the Gators. Pat is wondering if the confidence the Gators have looking forward to the 2019 season is misplaced given the state of their offensive line (something I’ve been harping on). He said in their most recent 11 on 11 work there were a ton of holding calls because the offensive line couldn’t block their defensive line at all and that’s after losing three of the best front seven on defense from last year to the NFL.

They also fretted about the possibility of losing their opener to Miami and what it would do to the confidence of the team. Apparently the Gators are aspiring to win the championship this year. If they get knocked back down to earth right out of the gate, does their season implode along with their morale?

Now granted we don’t have too much to brag about as far as offensive lines go, at least at this point, but we do have about four times as many returning offensive line starts and that excludes Trey Smith. My guess is their offensive line may make our front seven on defense look like All-SEC at every position. I’m okay with that, especially since I expect us to get the win. I don’t, however, expect our front seven to have the same prestige after the Georgia game. jmo.

Here is their roster breakdown by position and graduation/eligibility expiration years. The one area that Pruitt, imo, is absolutely dominating Mullen is in offensive line recruiting. If we can shore up the other side of the ball on the line he could be on his way to dominating the Gators on the field for the next 2-3 years. jmo.

(Notes: Banks, once projected as a starter this year, is out for medical issues and may not return. Mullen signed 7 offensive linemen in his 2019 class).

Seems like other SEC teams either have or are getting commitments already and we’re over here like

That can also happen when you decide to get real picky and not take ticky tack commitments 11 months from signing day. All we did this week was cut a mid 3* wr. Butch would have doubled down on guys like that and we'd have the #3 class with 17 commitments already on board with an 86.5 average...

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

That dude is such a class act! Kudos to his parents...you raised a tremendous young man! Now, Mr. Williams, we need you to go out tonight and demand the ball for 40 minutes...take over this game, and LET’S WIN, because...

IT’S GAMEDAY!!! LET’S GO!!!!
