Recruiting Forum: Football Talk XII

For those that don't use the twitters or visit the BB forum, Detrick Mostella was just cleared by the NCAA to play. Huge for Tyndall and the basketball team.

NB4 BTO confirms that HE hasn't confirmed it! :no:

That guy drives me nuts. Dave Hart himself could get on the radio and say "Mostella has been cleared" and BTO would come back with something about "we don't know that yet".

Thanks for posting this. Some of those guys over there wear me out, and I can never find any actual basketball news anyways.

Mostella is gonna be nasty. We're gonna be fun to watch this year if nothing else.

Tennessee can win the game if Hurd is Gurley-like. He will need to be a phenomenal freshman standout. I Think our D can thrive with confidence against OU but once they start second guessing, they'll give up big plays. Oregon is a different animal. We match up better against an OU than an Oregon.

Of course with Hurds success comes the success of our Oline playing as a cohesive unit in the system. They don't have to be elite, just solid and we have a chance. Tennessee is behind the eight ball in terms of perceived team talent but so was Boise. So was OU to Bama. So was Louisville to Florida.

I don't think Bama will care more because of OU. They'll get their shot in the playoffs if they want to prove superiority and at that point in the season, I don't think Bama will think about common opponents. In fact, I doubt Bama will even think about OU between the first and last regular season game.

Gurley is hoping he can play Hurd-like this year imo.

I hope so. I think a half of a win more per all SEC impact freshman above 5 wins.

Ha I would love to revisit this. I bet it's gonna be pretty spot on.

I agree with that...

Then all we need are 4 to win 7 games. That should be no problem. Coleman Thomas, Hurd, Malone, and either a LB or the other starting CB.

 

[RikidyBones]

That would be correct. Would you say we have a great shot at 7 wins if those four are all SEC Freshman?

I would say we have a great shot at 7 wins if that happens. :good!:

We have tons of guys who are going to get a chance to play. We will probably play more freshman than most other teams. Out of 32 (minus however many jucos), I think there's a really good chance that at least 4 of them turn out to be All SEC freshmen.

Bates, TKJ, Malone and Hurd seem like obvious guesses. But we know Coleman Thomas will play. Hendrix, J. Johnson and Barnett will all play. Gaulden, E. Moseley and Cortez have a good chance to get on the field early. I wouldn't count out either Berry twin. Creamer and Gavin Bryant might play. Both of the tight ends. There's probably more that I'm leaving out that are obvious.

Gah that class was clutch.

more then anything, i expect the special teams coverage units to be better with the speed and talent that was brought in....that alone could be worth 1 maybe 2 wins....IMO

I'm not greedy. As much as I would love to get 7-8 wins, I just want 6 and a bowl game. That will enable us to land the 2015 class that is needed to get us to that 8-10 win area. Then, land a monster 2016 class, and it's on like Donkey Kong from that point on...SEC and NC contenders, where our program should be. Do I think we can win 7 this year in regular season? Yes, if we can stay healthy, have a few FR play huge, and catch a few breaks. 6 is a must no matter what though. GO VOLS!!

I just pulled up the UT vs SC game on youtube, got on the elliptical and an hour later realized I was dripping in sweat and went 8.5 miles. Time flies when you aren't clock watching during cardio. :O

Not sure if CBJ would have any interest, but we do have open scholarships and he could play right away.

Reported on 247

Georgia Tech has granted signee Myles Autry a release from his letter of intent.

Now released, Autry is free to enroll elsewhere without losing a year of eligibility.

Autry does not have any restrictions on where he can enroll.

Huh... what do you think Leb?

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

I always liked the idea of taking the kid at CB IF he could be sold on playing defense. Did not care so much for him as a RB. If the knee is 100%, I might would consider it.

 

[Catbone]

Agreed. I could see UGA snagging him as a corner.

 

[StoVol]

They sure have a need for db's ... Would be a good fit for him

 

[Catbone]

Just for that reason, I hope he goes somewhere else

 

[RockyTop85]

Autry's brother was released a few days ago. Not sure if it was unconditional. My first thought was that they might both sign with UGA.

Wow! Can't believe they granted him an unconditional release. I would think they would restrict him from their in-state rival. Will be interesting to see where he ends up. I know he was very interested in Florida State at one time...loved Jay Graham.
