Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Volsdeep4]

I am worried about OL.

If the QB in this offense doesn't have time, it doesn't work.

In any offense unless you’re 5’ 9” QB Bryce Young

 

[LotteryPick]

Basilio dropping some 100% accurate nuggets:

• OL is a greater concern than the coaches are revealing to the public.
• The coaches have noticed there are not many “whiffs” on the new guys. Recruiting evals were accurate which leads to the next point.
• Coaches feel that the younger guys will contribute on defense as the season progresses. (Sounds like he’s hinting at the secondary).

Offense moves too fast for me to be worried about OL. Especially as games go on.

We’re fine. They have to have some negativity in order to get clicks. Injuries have limited some but the OL is going to be fine. But we don’t need any further injuries and could use Mays by UF.

Does anyone have any Prozac they could send to the Volquest folks?

 

[pierce60]

I’m going to bet between the second scrimmage and Virginia there will be reports of the OL “coming together” and “making progress”.

To this point the coaches have been trying different combinations, but after the next scrimmage they’ll turn to Week 1 prep and have a more settled rotation, which will lead to continuity.

One thing I noticed in the practice notes from Fingers was Nico connecting with Ethan Davis down the sideline.
I remember them connecting a couple times in the spring game too.

Think that’s gonna be something we’ll hear a lot in a couple years! GBO

This article has me thinking. If Milton doesn’t show the progress we think he is going to make, and if he does struggle, how long would it take, and what would it take, for Heupel to consider starting Nico instead? I know it is unlikely we have to worry about it, but still makes me wonder

I think Milton would have to be injured for Nico to start. Even if he's struggling, I think Heup won't cave to fan pressures and strip Milton from having an opportunity to end on a high note while potentially putting an unprepared Nico out.

We saw Spencer Rattler improve at the end of the season. Antjony Richardson started the entire season for Florida despite some struggles. The best thing to do is ride with Joe unless he's injured.

Does anyone have tall hedges as a border/privacy wall? I'm looking a planting one and trying to decide what kind of plant to use. I think I'd go 8 ft-sh.

Milton took a few sacks vs Clemson because he didn’t run when he should have. He could even throw it away but just held on too long. It can improve but definitely a concern.

Pocket presence (presents) needs game snaps to perfect. Nothing focuses the mind like that knowledge that opposing pass rushers are coming with bad intent. It's an obvious question for UGA's QB position. Carson Beck has 58 career pass attempts in his three seasons at Georgia. He may know the offense very well, but I'm skeptical when it comes to his current ability to mentally process under game pressure.

I've been seeing you guys occasionally debate if/when Heupel would pull Milton if he struggled, so I took a look at his game pass attempts compared to Hooker (who set the standard I imagine
you're hoping for). HH had more attempts at VT than Milton has in his college career to date (316 vs 296). HH also had more attempts in both the 2021 and 2022 seasons than Milton has in his college career to date (303 and 329 respectively, vs 296). I'm sure Milton's processing speed has improved with a full offseason as QB1, but it also wouldn't be surprising if he continues to process faster as the 2023 season progresses. I obviously know nothing about Heupel's intent, but my guess is he'll give Milton every opportunity to climb that live action learning curve.

Agree with you. I know we gave UGA/UGA fans a lot of slack about Stetson but he was in a similar situation of having to process the game faster which he did as he got more live game experience. (Todd Monken obviously helped in his development as well)

 

[UTProf]

Yes.

But this wouldn’t be about what’s “true”. This is about a haunted football stadium. Neyland at Night.

Be ambiguous. “Can neither confirm nor deny”… play it up.

Let it run wild.

If I told the stories I know about campus no one would visit at all. I'm being ambiguous - lol.

@DawgInterloper offered to dig them up and drop them off here. Prolly one sideline would do it. But I need a different variety and from unpolluted stock. Still a generous offer, though.

 

[UTProf]

Well, why haven’t they then, Dari?

It isn’t like Heupel hasn’t been around very long.

I looked him up because I had no clue who he was. Dude is an Oklahoma water carrier who no doubt believed Bob when he said the championship was all him but the fails were all Heupel.

Neither team had anyone to put in the game…. Heup has benched QBs for true freshman before…. I don’t think he will have a quick hook but if Milton can’t get it done then he needs to sit…. I don’t see that happening though.

That's basically what Sabey always does.

 

[butchna]

I don’t know if Basilio and accurate goes together in the same sentence.

Good ole Tony! 100% dead on at finding out what everybody else is “hiding” and then goes into hiding when he’s 100% wrong.

 

[UTProf]

Not sure I'd make that deal if I was Weigel's lol.

 

[LadyVolette]

Neyland used to serve as storage. That's a fact.

Yep, offices, storage, and at one point in the 60s dormitory overflow

 

[LadyVolette]

It always amazed me how my husband could be friends with some guy for years, and really not know very much about him with women , we know all of the secrets and where the bodies are buried
