As a former VQ-er for a decade, and someone who writes for a living (attorney), the terrible grammar and spelling in VQ articles, was, IMO, unacceptable. If I turned in legal documents with those type of mistakes, I'd be fired.

This is just a huge pet peeve of mine, especially if you make a living as a journalist.

It's very unprofessional to have bad writing when your job is writing.

"Tennessee made another good impression on him today. He really likes butch jones. He also likes Georgia and auburn alot. He wants to play de in college and likes tennessee's defensive scheme. He said he would be back for a visit but wasn't sure when. He's planning on going to auburn and South Carolina in the coming weeks for junior days."

Per scout, likes CBJ a lot. Will return for another visit, and had a good visit today. Said Auburn and UGA are "standing out" and will visit Scar soon as well.

The information being shared is more important than the grammar, but that is just my opinion.

Sounds like you'd prefer reading Hyams or Woodberry.

Chad Simmons said to expect him to release his top schools soon. UT is in his top 3

We have some things in common. I was on VQ for about 10 years and also in your profession. I always remind people that Brent is not a journalist. He is a radio guy who happens to run a website. His primary job is for the university, even though he may spend more time on VQ. So, I do not hold him to the standard as a journalist. IMO, the info is the most important thing. If Brent had gotten a degree in journalism, then maybe I would agree. But you don't have to be one to run a website.

Saturday, the 6-2, 213 pound four-star prospect enjoyed his time on a visit that didn't feel as rushed as his trip to the spring game a year ago. "It was wonderful. The players and the coaches were nice," Walker said. "They were great to be around. "It feels more home like. It was a better experience."

"Georgia and Auburn are kind of standing out. I'm going back to Auburn next and I'm going to see South Carolina," Walker said.

"Just stay in contact so that we can really build a relationship," Walker said of Butch Jones' message to him. "And the defense that I would play as a defensive end. I like the scheme and I like their colors as well. Colors aren't that important but I like it. I like the head coach. He's about business and he likes to look good. If you look good, you feel good, and you play good. Everything is good.

At 213-pounds, one might think that Walker might be better served as a linebacker, but the Langston Hughes High School product sees himself as a defensive end in the college game. "I would like to play defensive end," Walker offered. "I can stop the run, but my thing is getting after the quarterback. "Weight is pretty easy to put on, but at the same time, Tennessee said don't worry about it because once you get in college they will put it on you."

He sure is a small DE prospect. I wonder if we are recruiting him as an OLB?

Edit: Lol! Didn't read last paragraph of article until after I posted this. He's still very small.

reminds me a lot of Jdews - guy I think they will also try to get on campus, put weight on, and make into a pass rusher - they want to get some guys that have real speed coming off that edge - when you combine that with his height/length he seems like a perfect guy to try and mold into that speed edge rusher

think weatherd or CM size coming off the edge - if he is an every down guy then he may need to get bigger than either of those 2 - but to help on passing downs he won't

He says UGA, UT and Auburn are his top 3. Wants to play DE, prefers to rush the passer instead of dropping into coverage. Said he really likes that UT is going to Nike and the coaches are telling him we're going to be like Oregon with our uniforms haha.

I really think we are about to change the unis up a good bit. To the point where we don't wear the same uni combo twice in a year. JMO. Traditionalists are going to want to kill Butch, but at the same time they'll love him because we'll be winning games.

RCS ATLANTA: Top Performers - Defense

12. DE D'ANDRE WALKER, FAIRBURN (GA.) LANGSTON HUGHES
Walker is still a bit of a 'tweener, but he's filled out a bit since we saw him last and has those huge, broad shoulders, so he can keep adding to his frame. He was solid when he played with leverage and got skinny but struggled at times when he got too high and made himself a target. All the physical skills are there. He just needs to work on staying low off the snap and beyond. Regardless, he was one of the fastest and most athletic linemen at the event.
