Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

You don’t start as many games as he did if you’re just terrible. That was my whole point. Ppl thought he was terrible, that was never the case. Which is why schools like Oklahoma, usc etc were his choices. And now he’s starting the opener.

You do at Tennessee.

Heres why Pruitt has 3 years - because even if the season ends without a bowl and people are upset, you know everyone will think about the prospect of Bailey and the possibility he bails if there is a change. If the season goes terribly and we kick Pruitt, theres probably mass turnover, no HB, and we are looming down the barrel of a 5 year rebuild.

The recruitment of HB will be his saving grace, if it does come to that.

GaState changed their OC and whole offense during off season. They are now running old AppyState offense that Satterfield ran and is now running at Louisville, New OC coached at AppyState and was OC at Western Carolina.
GaState ran very little option last year and our coaches would have known it if they have done research and film study.

Didn’t know this. Starting to make sense now. Apparently Taylor alluded to it. We did no film work on GSU.

 

[Dudley Smith]

what do you mean by that?

You gonna pay $9.95/month for inside information about a team that loses to Georgia State?

Then we'd better come out and beat wholesale ass this Saturday.

Well, now we see why you are glued to the bench. He clearly doesn’t get it, unless he’s talking about his teammates

Not sure if the below is better or worse. Something more serious?, I applaud him. Something stupid and he doesn't even care about the game? I don't have words.

I don't think it's the fans that are worried about the wrong stuff tbh.

People tend to focus on the blatantly obvious negatives which pop out and for him it was penalties. But ignore all the solid play last year. He was our best OL play for play. Not saying a lot, but everything is relative. If people wanted to rag on actual quality of play, there were many worse OL.

I still can’t get over the lack of effort our team plays with. Going through the motions, no heart, no desire for the game. It’s football, it should be fun. Why even play if you are gonna jog and give half effort? These kids act like it’s more of a job than a game! I just wonder if some of these kids even like playing football? Still in shock

 

[Smokeytom]

Pretty obvious who should and should not be playing after that game. If we’re subbing in and out every play next week then we lose by 30. Just pick your starters and ride with them.

 

[BruinVol]

Idk man. If there's a chance you can get extra yards, you gotta get them. As long as he didn't get hurt, and those misleading stats are nice and padded he's good. He actually thinks he can play in the league. Are you sure it was 2nd? Could have sworn it was 3rd.
I can see us not getting the 1st on 3rd and 1. The best rb that can push a pile plays on defense.

Yes certain is was on 2nd down

 

[Jackcrevol]

Poor OD is back on the big board.

Practice will be much harder this week: guaranteed!

And it aint pretty.

 

[Catbone]

Woke up. Still pissed. Dammit Pruitt

 

[chargervol]

TBF, Inky kinda has one speech he gives to the football team every season.

Disagree. Kids were with me when I listened to this years and wanted to hear more.
Pulled up another and except 'giving your all' they weren't the same at all.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Missouri and USCjr looked like crap. Kentucky and Vandy did not. Kentucky covered the spread and beat one of the better G5 teams who’s picked to win 10 games and won the game better than they did last season when they almost lost to 1-11 Central Michigan, that team is improved. Vandy fought hard and held Georgia for longer than they should’ve. We just suck bro get over it

diff is SC will get better & KY will too.

TN will be same 9 games in as they were #1. it's always been that way.

Inky sounds much more polished and rehearsed than he has in past. He's getting paid now. Very well spoken. You can tell hes put time & money into honing his craft.

Unfounded and inaccurate post.

Only issue i have with Inky is when asked to give his opinion he falls back into cliche mode. And who cares, right?

The only way to make sense of the past 10 years is to accept the belief of a multiverse.

We just happened to land in the crappy one. In some alternate universe we are still coming down off a 2018 championship behind Trevor Lawrence and looking to repeat.

 

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

We need a Bill Snyder/Kirk Fetentz type coach who can maximize 2 & 3 stars. The good to elite recruits won't even consider us after today.

Those coaches would fail miserably in the SEC

You HAVE TO have 4 and 5 star talent to have any real, non fluke success here. No other way to spin it. You will NOT consistently win in the SEC with a bunch of 2-3 star kids

I remember a ton of people calling him false start Richmond, I don't remember too many saying he couldn't block.
And I know a lot didn't want him to transfer.

 

[jakez4ut]

So we’re going to be forced to play freshmen for the next 2 seasons. Something just doesn’t add up.

i think, yes, given the shape the roster was in, we'll see a youth movement in an effort to get more players that fit what pruitt wants to do, on the field.

i've said it before, and not that this means anything like this past saturday should have happened, but this is a much slower rebuild than we thought it was gonna be. all Saturday did is make that a reality, and create doubt about whether or not this staff, or HC, could/would/should get the chance to see it thru to the end of a year 4.

and it probably didn't leave a good perception for prospects in this 20 cycle either.

as a fan, i wanna believe they'll right the ship, and do something/anything great before the season is over.

and i'll just leave it at that.

How do I get there?
