He's an OL from Delaware (DE). Misinterpreted.

he's OL

I realized that after I looked on scout. I thought I remembered that but looking at the title...him being from Delaware(DE) got me for a second

Welp, there goes a good one. Dooley can make us forget this guy if we have a steller OL class. If we end up taking smucks in late Jan. then we'll remember that we had this guy beating down coach's door only to be ignored.

not a great year for offensive linemen so I'm thankful for getting a good one.

Given that Dooley apparently doesn't know he exists, I don't blame him at all.

Haha nice little shot, but deserved. Thurmans father or mother went to UT and he was interested in us. Would've loved to have him but Dooley screwed this one up

UT evaluated him in-person in May.

 

[swampy]

Yeah. You guys need a lot of help...

well we do have 4 senior starters graduating off the offensive line.

 

[Lord Vader]

and something like 22 OL on the roster, right haha?

we have, maybe 11. and only 6 or 7 are halfway serviceable.

All the more reason why we should have offered Thurman.

They figured he was named "Trip" for a reason.

UT is in it for a lot of other lineman. Like LV said UT evaluated him in person and I guess they didn't like what they saw.

me too, which is why we are find.

During his tenure at Illinois, Hiestand tutored 12 all-Big Ten selections on the offensive line. Every senior starting offensive linemen in Hiestand's first seven years with the Illini was signed to an NFL contract.

So Florida, who beats us every year, signs a guy that our coaches "didn't like what they saw"..... hmmmm....
