Recruiting Forum Football Talk XVIII

[WiseGuy]

Watching the Orange and White game on TV and they were talking about Jalen's weight. I'm paraphrasing, but the strength coach apparently told the commentators he wanted Jalen at 230 and that 240 was a lot of size. Also that weight might be possible as a senior. Fast forward to now, Jalen is apparently 240. I wonder what changed?

The thought is stay a little heavy and healthy through summer practice and then just let the grind of the season take him back down to 230, imo

Still watching this game and wondering why we didn't go to North more in this game. Dude was bullying the Sooner DBs with the ball. I don't understand what was on Jake mind....

This is what I've been thinking too. I'm sure a lot of guys lose about 10 pounds throughout the season.

Good thing is we don't have to wonder what was on his mind anymore.

Football please come soon. I'm watching Vols games right now. Watching this Oklahoma game is pissing me off. The refs killed us. I can't wait for that game to hit Neyland. That fumble they didn't give us along with the blatant holding that they wouldn't call was horrible. Got a feeling this game will be like Cal 2006.

Hope it's 90 with a dew point of 89 like it was for our Golden Bear guests.

Oklahoma probably will be a bit more acclimated than Cal would have been.

Watching the Florida game now. While Worley showed a lot of heart he really made some dumb decisions. The pick to VH3 was on 1st and 10 from their 20. Also when we attack defenses vertical our WRs win a lot....

I don't care their line will get done like ours was done last year.

 

[PowerT83]

I'm watching the spring game finally. I'm sure I can dig it up, but they were talking about a freshman running back, last name Kelly that was supposed to be on the way and really good. Is that still the case or did he not make it in?

Last I read he was supposed to arrive in July.

Oklahoma returns two starters on the OL this year.... Hmmm

I suspect that OU's OL will have all kinds of trouble trying to block our fast, athletic, and very large DL especially if McKenzie and Tuttle is starting or even playing a lot. Owen Williams isn't too bad himself. Good luck with that is all I got to say. They better have lots of QBs ready to play just in case.

Lol. Good luck with that is all I got to say. They better have lots of QBs ready to play just in case.

Add that they're also mad from last year with all the holding that wasn't called. And a second year Barnett..... Going to be nasty....

Yeah, Oklaholding and all that. I'll never forget all the holding calls that weren't called which should've been. I'm getting mad all over again just thinking about it. :banghead2:

[The Breakerboy]

Crazy how you can easily see the difference in a Dooley recruited player compared to a Butch brought in. Athleticism is just completely on another level.

Got to hangout with @JawuanJames70 before he speaks to these rookies #VFL #NFLRKS2015 🍊🍊🍊

Hard to find players with more ideal body types for their positions than those two.

Hard to believe somebody actually makes Kahlil look kinda small...lol

Hard to find someone with less eyebrows than Dobbs too. James looks 67

 

[Aesius]

Damn James has more eyebrows than Dobbs. He looks 67 too.

LOL, JJ kinda looks Dobbs if you injected him with the serum they used to create Bane in the Batman comics.

And yeah, I think 6'7" as well....or KM is actually 6'2.5-6'3".

That's the difference between an NFL guy and a freshman college player.

 

[Aesius]

That's the difference between an NFL guy and a freshman college player.

Or just the difference between a DT and an OT.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Let's put Henderson or Haynesworth next to James. Lol

Ja'Wuan's really doing it these days. Happy for that dude. He worked hard, gave his all through some rough times, and deserves every bit of success he's had. A true VFL.
