Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Mom can't remember she ate immediately after we've eaten. She can't remember anything 2 minutes removed from it. Her short term is completely gone. She can't sit still. If she's out she wants to go home. The minute she walks in the door of her house, she wants to know where they're going. She absolutely wears my dad out. My dad gets relief by taking her to daycare three days a week.

She's starting to forget the people close to her. I have to remind her that I'm her son. Sometimes she thinks I'm her husband. It's a sad deal.

Going thru that same thing. Feel your pain.

You just showed your age! LOL. Millenials, jusr done get it.

Its sad theyll never get to experience playing on 150 degree blue astroturf barefoot climbing onto an equally scalding Hamburglar death trap jail cell. Or, the french fry squad spinning round and round thing, who only knew one speed - fast as hell. Just dont get it.

Uh, they still have neighborhood parks for kids to do that at

If we had 20 commitments we’d be freaking out about how many spots were left.

Not if they were 4 and 5 stars

I hope FSH's correlation sticks to us. But I do fear we simply aren't replacing our DL adequatedly. Solomon being eligible would obviously help a lot. But we have to recruit muuch better to replenish our DL.

I don't disagree with you but I think the only guy we really have to worry about replacing on the DL is Kyle. I thought he was pretty disruptive and as you suggest Solomon might be the best to be that guy. Total individual production by the guys on the DL is obviously almost always going to be affected, among other things, by the number of snaps a guy is playing. I think the DL prototypes that Pruitt & Co. have recruited for the last 2 years and are developing are different body types from the guys we had been recruiting for our 4-3 scheme. Oh, and I'm suspecting Emerson will be a utility guy on the DL this year if all else works. If Solomon doesn't get his waiver I'm thinking Butler moves up.

Based on what I know about Westeros' geography, that second one actually portrays the land surrounding KL more accurately then the first.

Thanks

So we had 5 commitments this time last year. We have 6 so far this year. Makes the freaking out even more comical.

Neither Henry nor Cox signed so don't get so uptight about commitments.

Braves suck.

Braves suck.

Or the Dodgers are good? Seems likely since they are 22-14.

I’m emotional. Dodgers are real good. Braves are as well.

Gotta beat them to be where we want to be, we are nowhere near their level

No argument there. We getting there though.

I'm really excited about the new guys coming in for the DL. I think if we can just find one that is far enough along to make a significant contribution we should be fine. jmo.

This video suggests that we're off to a good start at finding at least one guy who will be up to the challenge. I don't know which one it is but I'm betting on the guy with the Gap shirt on. Rocker just needs to teach them what to do. We should be okay once we gain a little experience. jmo.

What record does TN need in 2019 for you guys to feel like we've turned the corner and are on the right track? I'm thinking 8-4 with a bowl win to 9-4 would really start recruiting momentum.

The other day I was reading a recruits comments following an in-official visit (can't remember which one) and he said that when talking with CJP "Coach Pruitt sees 8 wins but would like 10". With that being said, I say floor 8 and 10 is ceiling.

I'd say the floor is 6 because of depth, and the ceiling is 10 because I'm an optimist.

5-7 would be a disaster... 6-6 would be meh... 7-5 would be a success... 8-4 should put Pruitt as the SEC coach of the year... 9-3 should put Pruitt as the national coach of the year

Floor is 5 and ceiling is 9 (regular season)

The thing I love most about hiring Chaney is that he's more of a ball control offense. In another year or so, we could be one of the most balanced teams in the country.

ball control aint winning much these days, at least for championships. Too many points being put up. Ask Meechigan. Even Harbaugh is abandoning his old offense. Never thought Id see that. Nor Saban doing the same. we should win more just having a more experienced oc, but if we want to ever win real big we'll either have to modernize or amass talent like never before.

 

[Devo182]

The path Jeremy Pruitt must take in order to rebuild UT football

Been saying the same for awhile. I know JP learned under Saban, but I really hope he recognizes how much easier it can be with a Swinney approach of retaining guys and building a family atmosphere. Compare this to Saban's mercenary approach, which leads to mass hirings every year, thus leading to less football coaching, which we all know JP really wants to be doing.

Meant to quote @volatil also.
It's completely horrible. I'm thankful every day that my mother's is slow progressing and responding to medication.

But we had gone through this with her mother not that many years ago. Her fixation was lost loved ones. Every few minutes she would repeat stories of losing her siblings and parents while breaking down into tears. Around 2 years of seeing her in complete depression. It took a major toll on the entire family.
Keeping you guys in my thoughts and I'm filled with empathy.

Here is a really cool video on the iron bank, golden company, and why cersei was stupid to repay the bank in full before the final war. It also theorizes the bank, and thus golden company, will side with dany:
