'19 TN RB Eric Gray

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Thank you for this...I always enjoy a good chuckle.

Just so I'm understanding correctly, you feel we should be recruiting with the last two sec champions, and National title game participants, coming off 9-15 the last two seasons?

If we are going to catch them in the next 5 years, yes we need to compete with recruiting now. I want to see the heralded Pruitt recruiting magic happen now.

Well he didn’t stay on defense. He had to move back because ty and run got banged up. Takes more than a week or two to permanently change the culture.

Banks wants to play LB and he should. I don’t know why some people thought he looked good at RB. He fumbled constantly.

His tenacity and motor is a perfect fit for LB....you need an Alpha playing LB.

How’d he look as a LB?

I remember his tenacity at RB but did he make any plays at LB this year ? I do not remember any.

He played a little on special teams. Changing in the middle of the season meant he was way behind on learning the defensive playbook.

Most of us ARE seeing it. I'm just sorry that you're too blind to recognize it.

Looked good in practice according to reports but was only there for a week or two before he had to move back to help with depth. Both he and Pruitt want him at LB. Banks asked to move to LB. he’s going to play LB.

It’s easy to find RBs. We definitely have room and time to go find and sign power back in the next month

baby steps. we aren't going to go from 5-7 to beating Bama and UGA.

we are going to have to take steps. show that we can beat the little guys, and our recruiting improves. start beating the mid level teams, our recruiting improves. its a process.

Then you are talking about a 10 year process. If it takes that long Pruitt will not be here. I'm hoping for playoff contention in 5 years max.

No magic yet. In all honesty, we are not even at Butch Jones recruiting levels right now.

Then it will probably read something like this

Volnation poster 1: video is up. Hes sitting there with his parents. Has a Al, SC, MS and TN hat on the table

Volnation poster 2: oh no....the TN hat is not in the middle. Worried

Volnation poster 3: Mom's wearing Red. AL bagman must have came through

Volnation poster 4: He gone!

Volnation poster 5: Boooooom

Volnation poster 6: Vol

And boomage will commence.......

Volnation poster 7: he's not as good as Cain. Fire Pruitt

This is spot on, man. Nice post.

Ok then watch his film on special teams. He’s better at tackling than running. I would rather see him force fumbles than watch him fumble every third carry

Lol, some of us older fans are wondering if we are going to be alive when this thing gets rolling again.

Fumbling is an issue but I think you let that skew your vision of him “looking good” as a RB.

 

[Catbone]

Must get. Big part of our class. I have a good feeling here

I suggest that you might want to seek professional help for your personal psychological problem.

Who are you and what have you done with Catbone?

 

[SugarCC]

No magic yet.

Yeah, you're right...pulling the top 2 OTs in the country; and, here in about 10 mins, landing the #3 APB in the land, coming off 5-7, is nothing compared to a hat and rabbit.

I disagree but whatever. you don’t seem to understand that he asked to be moved to linebacker

I feel sad for you, that you are clueless to how laughable you are.

Around the top 10 without a doubt. Butchy boy managed it after a 10-14 record by previous staff. Then again after 15-21. They were all poor fits and underdeveloped for the most part but he got them to campus.

He took overrated guys..... Pruitt could achieve a higher rating to give you the warm fuzzies if he didn’t turn down some of these overrated (in pruitts opinion) in state guys..... he recruits like they do at the nfl combine..... they have to meet a certain size/speed ratio and he will take them.

Just a fan who hopes his team can be relevant again. No guarantees.

Look at the numbers, stats do not lie.

Except, in this case, yes they do. I'll leave it up to you to figure out, how.

 

[AllVol11717]

What stats? The amount of those Butch recruits that did nothing here or transferred out in their first or second year? You bought fool's gold and you're still buying it.
