'11 DE OL Trip Thurman

[VolOnthePlains]

Tough, but I'll go with:
OT #1: James > Richardson
OT #2: Pair < Posey
OG #1: Stone < Jackson
OG #2: Fulton > Kerbyson
C: Gooch < Crowder

2010 (2) < 2011 (3)

Posey is a Guard, not a Tackle.

 

[KnoxVillain]

Posey is a Guard, not a Tackle.

I think he'll play Tackle.

 

[VolOnthePlains]

I think he'll play Tackle.

He's big enough but he's too slow. Guard.

 

[Clark W. Griswold]

He's big enough but he's too slow. Guard.

He's gonna be a right tackle in the David Stewart mold. And most men his size are slow.

 

[therickbol]

He's big enough but he's too slow. Guard.

I think he was intended to be a guard. But I think the coaches feel like he has outgrown the position. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

 

[VolOnthePlains]

It's not like he's grown since they started recruiting him... He was always 6'6" and around 300.

Tough, but I'll go with:
OT #1: James > Richardson
OT #2: Pair < Posey
OG #1: Stone < Jackson
OG #2: Fulton > Kerbyson
C: Gooch < Crowder

2010 (2) < 2011 (3)

Just don't see Stone moving from Center. Also, considering the praises that the staff have lavished on Pair's development, he may be a big surprise in the 2011 season.

he's 6'8. thats a notable difference

 

[therickbol]

It's not like he's grown since they started recruiting him... He was always 6'6" and around 300.

There are multiple reports that he has grown another inch or inch and a half over the course of his senior year.

 

[DaddyChad]

Awful big OG if that is his position. I think he moves to RT.

 

[therickbol]

I am not trying to claim he is an ideal tackle. His skills are better suited for guard. That is why I am saying it will be interesting once he gets on campus. I mean check out every college roster and how many 6'7 guards do you think you will find?

 

[Montrell Hardy]

Hilarious this thread was pulled back up despite Tennessee passing on him in the first place. But you knew someone would do it.

OT #2: Pair < Posey
OG #1: Stone < Jackson
OG #2: Fulton > Kerbyson
C: Gooch < Crowder

2010 (2) < 2011 (3)

I dont look at it that way. That is a skewed comparison to compare the classes, especially considering some of those guys may not even play the positions you are projecting. I mean Stone is a center, not a guard now.

I look at it as the best players from an individual standpoint. And the Top 3 would all be from the 2010 class IMO.

1. James
2. Fulton
3. Stone
4. Richardson
5. Jackson
6. Kerbyson
7. Pair
8. Posey
9. Crowder
10. Gooch

You have to love though what they've done on the OL in those 2 classes if they close with Jackson and Richardson. The only one I see that isn't an SEC caliber player is Gooch.

Also, this gives them the luxury to be very picky with the 2-3 offensive lineman they take in next year's recruiting class.

For the record, I don't care where he plays. I'm just saying being over 6'5" doesn't necessitate playing Tackle.

 

[byobbio]

Looks he's opening up his recruitment. SOrt of. Not going to UF this weekend and a slew of big time suiters have swarmed in:
Michigan State, Delaware, UCONN, Arkansas, Rutgers and Boston College.

OK, maybe not such a bad idea we passed on this guy. Wonder why Meyer was so intrigued with him?

 

[Vols_Fanatic518]

I'm rooting for Sparty in that race
