Crazy how the guys we recruit never get any respect, but once they hit The Portal... they’re all top 5 players. Gray and To’o To’o to-to-t-t-t-toyo being prime examples... of course, had Henry T gone to Bama to begin with he’d have been all-universe from the get-go.
I mean he’s good compared to what we have. But if he’s the same player he was last year he’s going to be a situational player at best for them.
I was thinking the same. He’d have been better off at OSU, I believe. Either that or just sitting out the season and declaring for the NFL.
He made huge strides last year and was going to be a starter this year a KU. Big time get for our DL.
This. We need 1 more LB. I believe the kid from Michigan will be our guy. We also may try to pickup another DB.
It may be the best part. Physically, he appears to have what he needs to be good based on what little I've seen, but he's still going to have a learning curve. Hopefully I'm an idiot, though.
I’m sure we’ve got a some good athletes, they wouldn’t be at this level if they didn’t have some talent. I think the real problem is Tennessee has wasted some really good LBers scattered over the seasons. What we haven’t had imho is a position coach who can teach aggressive fundamental tackling and short pass coverage. This is a Bama strength we don’t have and haven’t had. Safeties have been saving the defense for years, but they can’t be everywhere. We hope the guy coaching LBers is aware of this, Henry To’o To’o was naturally. I think it’s why we can’t compete with dawgs n gators.
Got a cornerback today, juco guy that signed with Auburn in December, then followed Garner here. This brings the total scholarship corners up to 5 now
Big get. Desperately needed another DB that can play right away. Martinez almost landed him at UCF and Banks also recruited him hard at Penn State so it sounds like the whole staff likes him. One more LB and our D will be serviceable.
