Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Glitch]

Horston is a one woman show most of the time. I don't know what they'll do next year.

You will think of something.

If we had landed a less talented prospect than Nico in the 2023 class then he’s less inclined to believe we’re recruiting over him in future classes. Ask yourself if you’d trade this reality for that one.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I care, about the kids who want to be at Tennessee. Compensate them, feed them, all that. We hve a good QB who I think could help this team.

Yes, Id like him to stay. But I understand why he doesnt want to.

I understand why he doesn't want to stay if he thinks there ain't no way he is beating out Nico. I always thought he was the kind of dude that would welcome the competition if he thought he had a good chance and at least give it a real try first.

Oh no the 3rd string QB is in the portal

Yeah, it’s hard to get too worried about losing a guy who would have likely never played a meaningful snap here. But also, it’s a Friday in January. We gotta talk about something.

Are the Colts' brass mentally challenged? Bless their hearts.

Lol, regardless of how bad Levis is, you're going to mortgage your future for a QB then immediately get rid of his best WR? How do you think your #1 overall QB pick is going to be successful if you get rid of his best weapon?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Implying he doesn’t have balls bc he’s going in the portal. He’s the backup to the backup. It’s a smart move by him if he wants to see the field.

Then he doesn't believe he has what it takes to win the job.

Fair enough

 

[Weezer]

So we have Gaston Moore and Navy Shuler both here as Walk-Ons already. If a good fit isn't in the portal then I say put one or both on scholarship for '23 at least. Worry about a suitable backup for Nico in the '24 class.

Or if they're happy as walk-ons, let them stay walk-ons. We're already tight on scholarships.

 

[butchna]

You know the staff was not expecting this because we haven’t offered any qbs in the portal or ‘23

Yet.

 

[MarcoVol]

Then he doesn't believe he has what it takes to win the job.

That makes him self-aware and smart. Wise beyond his years. Nico is that highly rated for a reason and he’s now seen him up close and personal.

Every f'n time

Then he doesn't believe he has what it takes to win the job.

Or is smart enough to recognize the odds.

 

[Weezer]

Are you just now learning about Jim Irsay or …?

He hasn't always been this way. See Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck.

 

[GoVolsGo54]

That Georgia CB everyone was raving about last night still hasn't entered the portal. Wonder if Kirby talked him out of it? Only 5 days left until the portal closes.

[peaygolf]

way off topic....but The Peay's new area is looking good!

 

[MarcoVol]

Every f'n time

Idk what that means

 

[volbeast33]

Eh. I don’t think it’s a huge deal. Milton is huge and durable

Rarely do you get down to third qb….. guess it will probably have to be cash money or shular.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Jackson will most likely go join Golesh down at USF.

I’d like to see that. I’ll be rooting for Golesh down there and this would be a nice pickup for him.

From the Athletic article today on Rashada:


Nov. 10: Rashada and the Gator Collective agree to terms on an NIL deal exceeding $13 million with Rojas and Grosso reportedly signing the contract. Such a massive pledge is thought to dramatically exceed the Gator Collective’s fundraising level, so the deal presumes assistance from Hathcock or other Gator Guard donors. After signing the contract, Rashada decommits from Miami and flips to Florida.

Dec. 7: Rojas sends a termination letter regarding the $13 million contract, according to a program source close to the situation. There are conflicting accounts about why the deal crumbled and who pledged to pay what. Multiple conversations ensue between donors and athletic department members, including Castro-Walker and Stricklin. Some within the administration are only now getting up to speed on what was promised — the program aiming to keep these third-party NIL dealings at arm’s length. Yet these conversations ultimately focus on finding contingencies for keeping the class’ highest-profile recruit in the fold.

Read all that this morning… pretty damning accounting of the situation from outside the 247 vs ON3 camps.

 

[VolByLaw]

I thought he might wait till after spring ball just to have more tape on him (practice footage since he missed most of the fall) and that might give him more options.

I wonder if he has a spot lined up. Indiana or Purdue might make sense. Could Louisville have interest? We will see. He will get some where fast I'm sure with school starting around the country.

As for Tennessee, they will look at qb's out there I'm sure, but landing a guy to come in and just be a depth guy is not going to be easy at all.

Yes. I think that point was MORE THAN OBVIOUS when he entered the transfer portal.

 

[Weezer]

Lol, regardless of how bad Levis is, you're going to mortgage your future for a QB then immediately get rid of his best WR? How do you think your #1 overall QB pick is going to be successful if you get rid of his best weapon?

We've already established they don't know what they're doing just by hearing they like Will Levis.

 

[butchna]

I understand why he doesn't want to stay if he thinks there ain't no way he is beating out Nico. I always thought he was the kind of dude that would welcome the competition if he thought he had a good chance and at least give it a real try first.

Maybe bowl practices and room meetings equates to “a real try”?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Nico is gonna be great
