'24 Recruiting Forum: Official Ohio State Pre-game/Game Thread

[BlackCreekVol]

Can't even make it respectable

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Yeah but you are also negative and don't believe in anything so

Your opinion is biased and therefore trash.

I believe in things that have proven themselves.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Doubtful

Then he will be fired in under 5 years.

UGA dominated us. OSU dominated us. Let’s be real we were lucky to beat UF. I think 9-3 or 10-2 is our ceiling under Heupel.

It’s always been the ceiling.

 

[TheBigOne10]

I’m glad we didn’t attack the portal for any glaring needs that we don’t have…

I still love my Vols. I’m just bitter and embarrassed at the moment

We can’t “attack” the portal until after this game ends. I look forward to seeing how we address it. The needs are plenty.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

OSU playing their portable players feels wrong

This year and 2022 is the best we can hope for unless something changes.

We will now be the laughing stock of college ball tomorrow for fans trying to take over, all the crap talk, no shirts.

Maybe instead of 30k fans paying to travel, we should all give to the talent fund. We definitely shouldn’t accept this mediocrity.

Hypes gotten us over the UF and Bama hump, gotten us to the playoffs. Got to stack more talent.

Ohio State and UGA are in the top 3 most talented teams in the country. And we played both on the road

Got to have some perspective.

I'm seeing the perspective pretty clearly. Getting 42 + hung on you does that.

We were also warned when Heupel was hired you'd see the same 5 plays run over and over again and defenses would adjust.

I didn't want to admit it and I've been fighting it back but I'm to the point now that it's getting hard to ignore.

And if I'm seeing it, so are recruits and prospective transfers.

Are we better off today than we were 5 years ago? Absolutely we are. But tonight is a serious reset on where we stand. We aren't contenders, we're second tier. And that sucks when you start to believe and buy in.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Got a stop!

We won't use it to get anybody good.
Just to keep Kalib Perry and Dayne Davis around

Are we better off today than we have been in 20 years? 2 10 win seasons, undefeated at home twice, 2 wins over Bama and UF……


Our biggest issue is talent discrepancy. We still do not have the talent to be elite regardless of what you all say. We recruit well but not elite and to win it all you have to recruit elite.

Ain’t nobody out recruited Bama for Ten years. We’ve beat them 2 out of three years.
We have enough talent we shouldn’t be getting curb stomped by anyone.

Play like sh*t to start games consistently,
Play like sh*t on the road way too often.

More to it than talent discrepancies

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Dude been injured for 2 years

I love him, but he's soft as hell.

He dont even take huge hits and somehow he hardly finishes games.

 

[I4Jay]

Shout out all the seniors, much love and thank you. but there a bunch of guys who are primary players who should be role players


Bru, Squirrel, Brazell should be 3rd and 4th options on top tier teams.

It’s time to upgrade talent.

We have a bunch of “great story guys” but those guys should only be depth guys.
How many guys on our team could start for top 5 teams? It’s a lot less than we want to believe.

This team overachieved like a MFer this year.
Bring In the talent !

 

[rjd970]

Feel awful for the fans that that made the effort the coaches/team didn’t.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Nico getting trotted back out

 

[Vol423]

He’s too concerned with NFL.

He's damn sure not improving his draft status tonight.

Bingo!!

 

[MarcoVol]

Doubtful

Even if he does some of yans won’t accept it.

Bc it took Dabo 4 more years to play for a NC. Heck the year before he played for and lost his first NC they went 10-3 and played in the Russell Athletic Bowl.

The same folks will be demanding more coaching changes every year.

 

[JCP201]

Now we get to hear the other SEC teams make fun of us

They didn't get in it.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

What's wrong with Mike Matthews???

*there he was

 

[I4Jay]

We won't use it to get anybody good.
Just to keep Kalib Perry and Dayne Davis around

I’m cracking up but there’s a tear in my eye

We can not give those type players any money

 

[85SugarVol]

Overhaul safeties
Overhaul oline
Overhaul linebackers
Overhaul wideouts
Overhaul offensive staff

I’ve been told repeatedly, by multiple posters, that we don’t need Safeties - we’d be much better taking a 6th running back.

 

[TrippieRedd]

What's wrong with Mike Matthews???

probably pouting that he didn’t get the ball

 

[BlackCreekVol]

I hope the TN fans piss on that place as they leave. **** Ohio state
