Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

Mark Stoops recruiting pitch is that you can come to Kentucky, be absolutely terrible and the media will call you a top 10 pick prospect without a thought.

Recruiting is the key to staying good. That's why people obsess over it.

Or we calmly observe the coaches doing their job. We then enjoy reading about the players after they sign and are on campus. Have personally never obsessed over recruits. Just not my thing. I’m pretty laid back about recruiting.

When we had crappy coaches, I hoped that the players would rise above their coaches competence. We had many bad years with players that were highlights.

Now that we have qualified coaches with great vision of a winning program and the ability to help players develop, I am just here to enjoy the ride.

I just scroll by the obsessive posts (mostly), put trollish posters on my ignore list and look for the brighter side of life.

I am by nature an optimist.

Thing is we need backups.

We need backups that also log many, many plays. Offense and defense. That way we can continue to run lightning fast and overwhelm opponents. There wasn’t any drop off from Mincey to Crawford. Would be great to have along the entire OL.
Same way with DL or the entire team…

I haven’t listened to Rocky Top Rewind this week. Did @Austin_Price say that Juju Mitchell may not return? If not, why not?

Then later he stated:

He's not very good, give me a true frosh over the battered vet.

So is Banks not playing in the bowl game?

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

So much so, I'm watching the Rock play a floating hero named Black Adam.

My son and I watched it. It was disappointing to say the least. I had higher expectations for all the characters.

Random though but do you know who I was irrationally excited for as a recruit that never panned out?

Jerod Askew

I was convinced he was going to be a beast just like Jerod Mayo. Oh well.

Peyton of course…

Easy

Jim Brown

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Someone should do a "what happened to that guy" thread.

People who transferred
Previous recruits we were really trying to sign
Previous recruits that decommitted

etc

From Sports Illustrated


1. Houston Texans: QB Will Levis, Kentucky
The most talented quarterback in the draft, Levis has elevated his supporting cast for two years at Kentucky. He has the talent and ability above the shoulders to do the same for the Texans' offense. His upside could make him one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

Coen wasn't the OC this season. They definitely were better in 2021 on offense and losing Coen hurt Levis...although Levis is way overrated by NFL scouts.

 

[Devo182]

Did just notice the article is from August 2022. But still...he stunk then and stinks now.

Is this proof of portals between alternate universes? What in the entire nation is happening here?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

That’s so bizarre.

How do tumbleweeds know to do this?

I noticed this like a week ago, but 247 doesn't have Spillman marked as signing in the ESP.

Yeah, not sure what's up with that.
