'24 VA LB Chris Cole (uga commit)

[MemphisVol3]

HIs whole timeline is USC stuff, feel like we might miss out here. Honestly with the 2 LB's we have coming in plus last years class looking legit we might not need 3 bodies in this class though.

Kirby is likely thinking like we are…want him but if not here, then USC. Not sure if the move was with the handler or if the glamour of USC/L.A. garnered the heavy interest.

Agree, just repeating what the recruiting folk are talking about

I was being sarcastic. I admire your commitment to the bit though.

If GA and USC are the top two, he may just be attracted to the glamour of the big stage.

USC is hot right now, have the likely Heisman winner and some of that old swagger back

Lol, no they’re not

Kid doesn't have a handler.

Herculean effort being able to “watch film” on a television screen for a quarter and discern all that. My FILM breakdown skills are nowhere near as sophisticated. I heard his name for a quarter and then it stopped…and I heard Herrings when I wasn’t hearing Beasley’s with no discernible dip in performance. This forces me not to appreciate the loss of a generational talent we had for one quarter. Guess I gotta listen to Ainge from Monday and let him illustrate how it ain’t no good no more.

C'mon man

You ever heard of a DVR or youtube? If you want to actually prove me wrong instead of lashing out anytime I provide you with a competent answer. Go to youtube, watch his defensive snaps and prove me wrong. It's Where in it is he not that good???

You're literally upset because I'm saying Pili was really good. Why? What's your deal? Did you just make up in your own head that he wasn't that good and the young guys would take over and that's what you were comfortable with?

I also, in this conversation said that our LB's are still better than last years. So I'm in a sense agreeing with you that we will be okay. So what's with the "gotta listen to ainge to know we ain't good no mo" huh??

Dude, unless you have the nerd’s pajamas of DVRs , you’re going to see a number flash on the screen but without the big circle from legit FILM GUYS on YouTube, Twitter etc? You don’t know where it ends up and double emphasis, we don’t see who’s lining up whom on ABC! I’d prolly find a nice stopping point but you utilized the D4Hesque “Look at the film!” BS. It’s not insulting Ainge to recognize he extolled Guarantano too…all the way to the bitter end. Man gets excited and starts selling what he thinks excited him…he’s a FAN. Best to not overthink it…too late!

I don’t know how “really good” he was…didn’t miss him when he left the game. Very unlike when we lost any starter the past couple. Maybe I just needed time to recognize what I’m mourning…and I got a quarter. I was excited about the camp reports and looked forward to the potential production. Didn’t see an Al Wilson loss from the limited look. Nothing more than that.

Edit: Guess I didn’t read your whole spiel before responding. Kindly provide the YouTube link from a competent football mind who read Pili’s lips lining up errybody and how it pales in comparison to Eli Herring doing the same thing.

They are? didn't they get beat by Tulane last year in their bowl game?

I believe there was earlier discussion about the fact that he has a "handler" in charge of his recruitment.

 

[MarcoVol]

Lol, no they’re not

From a national perspective that’s outside our orange bubble, yes they are.

Dude what!? You can easily see him on YouTube wtf are you talking about? You're just moving the goalposts because you can't actually prove me wrong. I can turn on my roku, put the game on and see Pili clear as day, you see him run around, tackle people, call plays etc. It's not like I'm trying to watch the DB's off screen, you can see the LB's the entire time. But yeah of course that wouldn't be good enough for you

Bringing up the JG stuff is so dumb. Anecdotal much? So just because he points out that he was good in practice means that he is unable to asses any players ever again because he gets too excited? Any assessment he makes of a player just means nothing. Yep he played under cutcliff and in the NFL for three years. Definitely doesn't know anything about football, can't be objective. Everytime he breaks down a player or a game it's all a ruse. No way he could sit there, watch Pili play fast smart football in a scrimmage and 11 on 11 and gather that he was a good LB. Hmm wonder why he started then?

I'll just live in objective reality over here where you can watch a game and tell if someone is a good player. Apparently it's not possible.

Imagine getting triggered by someone saying Pili is a good football player and a pretty big loss for the defense.

So the YouTube version of the game zooms in on the players and close captions what they’re saying…the more you know.

There’s OBJECTIVE REALITY and then there’s the false narrative that I’m saying he’s not a good player. Straw harvest stuff.

Not triggered…just retorting. Good player who didn’t play enough to be a consequential loss.

Dude you started strawmanning

You don't need closed captioning to see him making signals to the rest of the defense. He is a consequential loss, less depth, we are down a starter and need young guys to play a bigger role than they've ever played before which includes the communication aspect of playing the position.

Not saying we are doomed at all, because I still think the group is better than last year. Feel better with him than without.

That’s not what a strawman argument is.

I see him run and wave his arms…Eli can do that. Younger guys needed to play more anyway…this necessitates it. It’s a loss without significant consequences. Programs that have arrived eff it and drive on.

We have indeed arrived.

Thought it was stated a while back that he did.

AP thinks USC making a move, not UGA. Could be wrong tho

I heard him say they could be "lying in the weeds", but he still sees it as between us and UGA. Unless he’s changed his tune since yesterday.

I know he’s posting a lot of USC stuff, but it just gives drama manufacturing vibes to me. Hope he takes the visit tho.

 

[Volanooga2521]

AP and Josh Newberg seemed to think UT had a chance on Tuesday or Wednesday, unless something changes. Do we know if he's actually OV'ing this weekend?

AP been out of the loop this cycle but also it was just a post with a rumor that he might not make it in. Which means he also might.

Unless he does and then doesn’t.

 

[VolInDayton]

If he actually visits this weekend it's hard to picture him not committing to Tennessee the following day. It feels like there has been manufactured drama this week.

 

[barrylee]

Listening to AP earlier, it sounds like we are 3rd in this race.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Yeah, but USC didn’t even seem like they were in it until he visited.

If he makes it in for the visit, we got a shot.

I didn't get that impression, assuming you are referring to his comments on the VQ Mailbag.
