'14 FL LB Dillon Bates (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[UT4LIFE86]

What I thought

 

[BornToBleedOrange]

What's up with the scout article on inside Tennessee...it say will legacy look elsewhere? Thought he was solid as a brick

Bates is as solid as you can get! Scout trying to sell subscriptions I guess. He's recruiting right now for UT in his sleep. Looking elsewhere...lol

 

[StoVol]

His dad would cut his head off.... Period

It's beyond ridiculous that they constantly stoop to this level with their headlines. Pathetic

Video interview on VQ. Bates said he measured in at 225 lbs and a tad over 6'3. Said he picked up on the scheme and coverages in the meetings on the 1st day. Said he was answering most of the questions in the meeting rooms. Said he wants to be at 230 lbs when he arrives in May to UT. Really high football IQ. Said Deion Sanders walked up to him and gave him a big hug.

6'3" 211

Here are the Combine numbers for our commits (plus Adoree) from The Opening.

Damn

 

[joelkthx]

Damn

Bates with a 4.5 and running the same shuttle time as Adoree? Wow. Athlete

 

[Ron Swanson]

Henderson's shuttle time is also very impressive.

 

[k-sny-vol]

Bates vertical is massive. Wow. Could be a TE with that leaping ability

 

[joelkthx]

Henderson's shuttle time is also very impressive.

no doubt. gonna be a good bit of athleticism in the next few years for sure

 

[volssam]

Hurd has lost a lot of weight. But man alive he is light speed fast

Bates looking elsewhere? lol, that's the funniest thing I've ever read.:birgits_giggle:

 

[CABVOL]

Hurd has lost a lot of weight. But man alive he is light speed fast

Huh? Where did you get this? Due to his surgery and not lifting? Not bashing, just a serious question.

 

[QGP]

I thought the same about the vertical! I thought white men can't jump?!?!?

 

[Reynvol5]

I can't wait to see Bates become the leader of our defense and set the tone for dominance. This kid is gonna be an unreal talent imo!

 

[RockyTop85]

I think those vertical numbers at the opening were improperly calibrated.

Hunter didn't jump 40 at the NFL combine. No offense intended but I don't think Bates is in his class as a leaper.

Out jumped Adoree too.

 

[NEVolFan]

Hurd has lost a lot of weight. But man alive he is light speed fast

Well actually, 0 time means it is not recorded for that metric.

 

[UNGVol]

Hurd has lost a lot of weight. But man alive he is light speed fast

I see what you did there

His joke













Your head

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Bates with the 40 inch vertical... geez.

 

[BruinVol]

Bates with the 40 inch vertical... geez.

Wow

Woah, I thought he was being serious. Apparently it did go WAY over my head...:mf_surrender:

That's an utterly ridiculous statement for them to make. Whatever the word is to express solid to the nth degree, that's what Bates is.
