2021 Recruiting Thread

Some of you coaches, is this good?

 

Rhiyad Jones ran that drill better than anyone so I don't put a ton of stock in it correlating to on field production.

 

Yikes. That was not a comp I was fishing for.

 

If you learn enough of those agility drills, and can market on social media.

You can make some good money selling to parents thinking that will be the difference

 

True. With kids being trained at ages 12 and 13 now too, more athletes are agility trained and earlier on. Many of whom are good at agility but football is a different game.

 

So it'll get you an offer from Butch Jones?

 

Very true. This is exactly why I think the NFL Combine is theater and the only thing that it truly highlights is which NFL GMs are slightly more retarded than the rest.

 

My 3rd son is very good at 7 v 7. His coaches are former NFL players who taught him the footwork for 15+ routes and they do a whole lot of agility and explosion work. But, he would get run over on the field and doesnt have the dog personality needed right now to go hit somebody. And i get it. Hes 5'2 85 lbs. Brentwood middle rb is 6'0 155 and set school track records as a 7th grader. Go low and he gets a knee in the head. Go high and kids bounce off. He figures whats the point.
Couple pics from playing Ensworth last season. We played up an age but still, look at the safety. Believe their entire 8th grade team may have already been 14. My son in green trying to pave the way for a swing pass. We competed. If it was tackle, we wouldve had no team after a few plays

 

The only real relevant information teams get at the combine are physicals and which ones are too stupid to pass a drug test. Face to face meetings are good too, I guess

 

Looks like we are going to get Wolfe if we want him.
Colsons family background is Michigan, not mid tn. If those around him werent pushing Michigan so hard, he would jump on board.

 

Wolfe is wanted

 

Yes, albeit he's from high school arch rival. Kid's the real deal.

 

My kid is a 70 pound 4th grader. I get it.

However, he is not scared to put all 70 pounds into you and has potential to be a decent safety.

 

Yeah they have to want the contact. Mine would rather skip the contact, but a lot of it is size. When your boy gets to middle, he will be going up against held back kids who already have mustaches and are 6'2. Its not much fun until size and puberty happens to equal the playing field. And some of those 6'2 kids are done growing early

 

and A-Smith too apparently.

 

I would probably be a Butch Jones level coach if I started my coaching career right now.

 

And yet they let the dog fall to the last round.

 

Bet you would have enough sense to go for it on 4th down from the 2 inch line.

 

Yeah the in-game decisions is probably the one thing I could do well enough.

 

With an rpo from the gun. Gotta give it a couple seconds to develop..
