'15 TN OL Riley Lovingood (UT Signee, 2/4/15)

If specialist like this do their jobs we never really even know their names. He will just trot out on the field, snap the ball and the play goes off without a hitch. That is what we want and obviously other major programs see the benefits of it such as Bama, LSU, tOSU.

Could be calling it an official and actually be an unofficial or could grey shirt.

Or Butch might take 100.

Hey Ladies. ..
This guy is worth a scholarship.

A bad snap could cost you a natty.

I agree with you SteelerVol. I have been saying this on here since September. After Oklahoma snuck in at the end of recruiting last year and gave Horky our walkon LS, whom was actually rated higher than Lovingood I believe, a scholly. I do not want to lose to Bama because a snap goes over the punter's head. Both these kids were from here in Tennessee as well. Just so everyone knows, I have no personal ties or interest in this either, I just want what is best for the VOLS.

Negavol. Everyone knows we won't be punting against Alabama from now on.

I believe it's like a 3 scholarship penalty for everyone we take over the limit.

This is a persistent myth that's been around for a while but no such penalty exists; you either abide by the rule or you prepare to meet with the NCAA Committee on Infractions.

That said, such an act of willful noncompliance would land a program in extremely hot water with both the SEC & the NCAA. Flagrantly flouting this rule would likely lead to a charge beyond "failure to monitor." In addition, NLIs over the limit (probably the last one(s) faxed in) would almost certainly be declared null & void.

Fortunately, we won't see that scenario play out at UT.

I'm pretty sure someone posted some stuff on it a while back and it is a set penalty of 3.

I think Oliver and Bruce are the 2 guys who fit the blueshirt of greyshirt deal. Lovingood might be a candidate but I think the demand for LS in 2015 is real. Coaches will probably want him taking a few snaps behind Giampapa (sp?) so he gets some game day experience under his belt before he takes over full duties in 2016. He's got a really quick snap so it's possible he beats out Giampapa early. I think Lovingood already has like 20-25lbs on Giampapa so that's another early advantage.

My thought is you don't blue or greyshirt Lovingood because an injury to Giampapa may happen. If his scholarship is pushed to 2016 status then we wouldn't have depth. Something which you don't want to gamble with, especially given our track record with injuries.

I don't recall us ever having LS issues and there are a couple others on the roster.

No issues to speak of. I don't really see him being a 2016 guy is all. He had legit offers from bigtime D1 schools don't think he would refuse those offers for a 2016 scholly;especially w playing time on the line

Correct. Besides Giampapa;
Henry a redshirt Senior & Bradshaw a redshirt Freshman

but I don't know enough to say how important this particular Legacy Longsnapper Lovingood is to this class.

Don't think anyone on here really does. Just know he's a very talented LS and will probably be pushing for snaps the day he steps on campus

I've seen this supposed penalty bandied about over the past 2 years and have asked for evidence that it actually exists, but I haven't seen it yet.

I researched this pretty heavily last year and found no mention of it in the NCAA or SEC manuals and I've gone through both w/ a fine-toothed comb. I've also found no other references to it elsewhere online so while I'm incredulous this "chupacabra" is real, I'd love to see it if someone can point it out to me!
