Recruiting Forum: Football Talk XII

[Sin City Vol]

Seems odd to have the Air Jordan basketball logo on football shoes. Maybe they will design one with at least a football on it.

Those shoes are sweet!!! Hope the rumors are true

Coleman Thomas being the weak freshman, or am I forgetting someone?

Maybe one of the other linemen that was moved from the defensive side?

 

[Ashevillevol]

Thought Thomas had been doing well. He has had rt side locked down since he has been here.

He is doing well. Just not as strong as he needs to be going uo against the SEC yet. It shows a lot of where we are that he has to start at tackle, when he's never played there to begin with

Yes, Thomas. He's done well, just needs to get stronger

 

[ACvol3]

I'm thinking something more like this with the right shade of orange...

Winner winner.

 

[MockingVol]

Yes, Thomas. He's done well, just needs to get stronger

I mean the fact that he doesn't bench 300 doesn't really concern me. He certainly needs to get stronger, but bench isn't the best indicator for tackles whom have incredibly long arms.

I was just about to type this exact same thing. Well done.

The bench press along with the 40 time are two of the most overrated aspects of a football player.

It's very difficult to not get excited over the possibilities of this team. I still think we are a year away, but the East is there for the taking...

If you're Kevin Durant, I agree

That's fair. Just relaying what was said

Word from the inside is that the tackles have a chance to be all-time bad

Did I write that article for wes? Or has that guy broken into my orange koolaid supply??

Exactly! Good post

The VQ utah st breakdown shows you how little the people in national media really pay attention to details. They see Chuckie and past success and just assume they upset us but don't even mention they are losing a huge chunk of last years team. Heck one of their starters at corner was a reject from our last year team. VQ team with a nice breakdown of the real details

Honestly, considering we're gonna win (IMO) comfortably, it might be nice for coverage to hype up Utah State like they should compete and then have us destroy them in primetime.

Their is a difference some times between being country strong and weight lifting strong.I have lifted on and off for the better part of 30 yrs.My younger brother by 2 yrs has never lifted a weight a day in his life.But I promise you he can more than hold his own with me or any other weight lifter.He's worked on our family farm his entire life.So maybe Coleman is just country strong right now.

As a recruit, how could you watch that and not want to come here.

Amazing job by our video staff and Lawson for keeping it fresh.
