    The other thread got me wondering. I said 2008, Montrell said 2006 and 2008. Here's a look:

    EJ Abrams-Ward 4* Dismissed/Marijuana
    Carson Anderson 2* played in a total of 10 games in his career. 0 Starts
    Preston Bailey 3* Left after Fulmer resigned
    Ben Bartholomew 3* Decent role player for us over the worst 4-5 years in recent memory.
    Willie Bohannon 3* Decent DE, played a lot of games. Started 5 times.
    Aaron Douglas 4* started as freshman on OL, transferred after Dooley, OD'ed after signing with Bama.
    Steven Fowlkes 3* never started, always back-up
    Montori Hughes 2* lazy player with a lot of potential. Dismissed from team a few years into school.
    Austin Johnson 3* Decent MLB for us. Started out as a FB and later switched to defense. Started a lot of games.
    Casey Kelly 3* never made it to Tennessee. Signed with Red Sox for baseball (I believe).
    Herman Lathers 3* Good LB. Injury prone career.
    Tauren Poole 3* started his JR and SR seasons. Decent RB, but not as good as we are used to at Tennessee.
    Stephaun Raines 2* Went to JUCO, played 10 games his SR season with only 10 tackles.
    Dallas Thomas 3* Best prospect out of the class. Played a lot of good football for us.
    Prentiss Waggner 3* started for 3 years for us.
    Marlon Walls 4* Career back-up player
    Rod Wilks 3* his internet lore didn't make up for his lack of success.
    Gerald Williams 4* Once he got on campus and learned the system he was a good player for us. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I don't know how you can find a worse class in recent memory than this one.

    Kelley was a key piece of the Adrian Gonzales trade.

    Johnson scored as an offensive and defensive player in his career, how many other guys have done that?

    Nope , but on a side note , he caught the longest pass in school history. 90 yard TD against Georgia.

    Thank goodness for him being strong, because that pass should have been picked off.
