Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[ConwayFitty]

either we need to pay attention to our wording, or we're really paying attention to our wording.

"isn't right" isn't accurate.

our recruiting is good.

it's really good actually.

it's not elite, right now.

if it's elite we're after, then some things probably do need to change. but don't get it twisted, it's not wholesale changes. we're talking tweaks. fine tuning. what's missing that doesn't close the elite player? is it NIL? structure of NIL and the university relationship? specific coaches? time to build relationship?

cause i feel like we have pretty much everything. we're getting elite talent to visit, we're making it on all the final 'whatever' lists. and don't forget, we are getting elite talent. we're just not closing with enough of them. we're talking 3-5 players in a given class when it comes down to it.

and the 24 and 25 classes look to be off to fantastic starts.....

5-stars are great to pick up, but only if they fit what we are trying to do and don't have the me-first attitude. I hate to say it but I've been impressed with how Georgia has been able to keep egos in check with all the players there.

I think we may end up in a situation this class where we have some guys that have jumped in the boat the coaches could upgrade over with us being a hot team but don't want to tell them to git. It's a bad look and can hurt recruiting relationships. Could be huge if we do make the playoff because we will be one of those 4 teams on early signing day still with meaningful football to play.

I remember them. I also remember Cas Walker's.

Yep, they used to sell buffalo meat.

This Waffle House fight got out of control!

 

[ConwayFitty]

Traditionally, way better. Money, also way better.

and they have the cabin... seems to be a real deal-closer

Nobody can beat his meat

I'm gonna have to check the rule book on that one. I know blades are an acceptable weapon at the WH, but not guns. If you're gonna shoot at each other, take it to the IHOP. But I have no idea about cars.

He is a former Georgia Bulldog trying to hype up Brock Bowers… I can’t wait till we get our next chance at them.

So, he did say it? On national TV? That Hendon Hooker is a 'me' guy?

No way! Must be a conspiracy theory.

According to Mrs. Mull, "Cas Walker has the biggest nuts in town!"

I have not looked (I'm lazy) but I wonder how many true freshman have made an impact on the field at any top 25 school. I'm not talking about a big play or two I mean starter.

Quit being lazy, look that up and post the info for us all

well Barion Brown for Kentucky has been pretty good this season

An interesting stat that I heard this morning... Texas has not beaten a top 5 team in 20 years at home. Here is to a change in history this weekend in Austin.

Josh Pate took them to not only win but to cover the -7.5.

 

[therickbol]

We would beat the Green Wave by a 100

Imagine being a historical national sports media outlet and being that bad at your job. That prediction is awful. So Ohio State is currently 2nd, will beat Michigan and then finish in 4th place in the rankings? Because UGA will certainly finish 1st in the rankings.

Josh Pate expects TCU to be the underdog in every game left they play. They are +7 for Saturday, and Pate picked Texas. Also says they should be a dog next weekend against Baylor. Also threw in a tidbit that it UT and TCU were playing this weekend that UT would be favored by multiple scores.

I just watched a video of all the plays on offense against UGA and came away with a few thoughts. Ringo could've been called for targeting on the first play. He stuck his head down and hit Hyatt with the crown of his helmet. The o-line actually did ok (minus the false starts) and the pressure on Hooker often had more to do with him holding the ball a little too long or a RB not maintaining his block long enough. Jaylen Wright had a pretty good game outside of the fumble. UGA's secondary definitely did a lot of holding...but receivers were getting open. Probably the biggest issue on offense, and this is just my opinion, is that Hooker had an off game. He was hesitant to throw the ball and just never seemed settled in. I would expect a lot better play if the rematch happens.

 

[UTSuave’]

Hahaha, hardly. Too much Tennesseean for that.

Hey bro!…I’ve seen some fascinating red neck engineering… don’t hate on where you come from!..country folks are some of the best engineers nobody has ever seen. they either don’t know about it or they know a guy!…the south is literally gods gift on earth

 

[UTSuave’]

Haven’t seen anyone talk about it but what do y’all think about Jeff Saturday leading the colts?…I’m pulling for him.

Interrupting a Waffle House fight is not cool. If you want to be helpful, have the short order cook go ahead and get the hashbrowns started on the grill.

NSIAP!

Incredible take by CFBHome. Is that an Ole Miss site?

Oh, no, don't get me wrong, I know people that could help Elon get to mars with duct tape, bubble gum, and twine! I just meant that Mr. Snowden is too sophisticated (and out of country) to confuse w/ someone like me.

By the way, I think I added maybe 500 votes for Hyatt this morning. :-D

I wouldn’t know….. haven’t watched espn for anything but games in years…. I don’t think they have very good programming….

Fanboy move by Irsay. His team, but if you’re going that route, why not Reggie Wayne? Already a position coach instead of a recently hired analyst? That being said, too much social issues flak for an INTERIM hire.

These make no sense

Doesn’t matter because we are going to make the playoff. TCU is not winning out.

There’s been a lot of negative stuff out there for sure..but I’m always pulling for a underdog
