Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXI

[nashvol1]

I know people hate the Cowboys, but I was born in Dallas. Two straight playoffs where a controversial call went against Cowboys and for Packers. I guess they are America's team now. Frustrating.

Which call?

So glad you showed up to inform us.

Just an observation I'm sure everyone is aware of. Need for concern or all under valued and diamonds in the rough?

Hi I'm Rishvol (hi Rishvol) and I'm here today because I am an addict of VolNation. I have posted 2000 times in my first year and see no end in sight. It's mostly sarcastic crap with a little seriousness sprinkled in. It's my first meeting at VNA and I'm trying to be strong. Go Vols

Acceptance is step one. Good luck, I've quit several times but always came back, often within hours. It is a good addiction though.

Just a joke but it's just something that gets discussed ad naseum around here. Unfortunately we won't know the answer to your question for another 2 years or so.

Most are diamonds in the rough

Several are borderline 4 stars meaning very high 3 stars and we will probably get 4 more 4 stars before signing day. Wheels in motion.

Yes it would be a concern if it becomes a trend. Where we continue to recruit well is LOS. SEC is LOS and QB league. We have 3 4 star QBs on roster and now multiple 4 and 5 star linemen.

Just looked at our 247 commitment list, 17 3 stars. Too soon for 3* U?

Check Rivals

I know, and I hardly ever get converned about stars, but when we're taking 3s this late in the game with underwhelming offer lists, it seems a bit uneasy. If they could all turn out to be cam sutton and John Kelly's, then great!

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Check Rivals

I do, they have us at 17 as well, with no 5*. Atleast 247 gives us 1 5*.

I did notice some of the 3s were borderline 4s, hopefully they get a bump in the next ranking, if there is another.

 

[nashvol1]

Check Rivals

Yep, 9 4s and will possibly end up with 12. Goes to the point that many of our 3s are very high quality.

All of us will admit this is not comparable to the last 3 classes nor the class we all hoped for but it's not a class to be concerned with...especially if we upgrade staff on D and OLine.

Last I checked, this class had more low 3 stars than any of the previous classes.

Are you comparing the same point in time or signing day? You think we are trading up like the last 3 years or staying the same? Looks like we have a opportunity to trade up like the last 3 years. Probably 4 or 5 spots.

Berry with an absolute stick on Bell!!

 

[Rishvol]

Congrats on 2k. :hi:

Thanks

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Elway wasn't even employed by Denver at the time.

You are correct. Not sure why I thought that. Elway is a genius and smart enough to get Peyton.

 

[YorkVol]

Eric frickin Berry

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Berry is balling!

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Amazing pick by EB!

 

[Nash_Vol97]

EB is having a heck of a year. He gonna get paid this offseason.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Thought Barlow was still coaching there ? He get fired?

He is still on staff. Which makes them hiring a DB coach a bit of a headscratcher unless it seems like he's leaving.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I did notice some of the 3s were borderline 4s, hopefully they get a bump in the next ranking, if there is another.

And if they do get a bump it means they are all of a sudden better players? Or nah?

Talk less

It's NC St coach being a better Pr person than Butch. Makes it look like he had someone else he wanted instead of us just taking Barlow. While we wait to announce for no dang reason it makes Butch look like he is taking sloppy seconds when in reality it is taking a dang good CB coach

Titans please

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Titans please

Yes! Then draft Barnett and Mike Williams!
