I'm not questioning the kids talent. He's very very good. But blowing out the same knee twice is going to take its toll on his skills.

Some surgeons should be banned from the operating room. Don't know the details about his surgery, but there is a reason that Tennessee uses the KOC for knee repairs on their players.

Well with Ellis and Oliver both being gone we'll need Devante Brooks, and the kid from CAK for sure! Need some depth at TE. I think this kid will be a pretty good tight end.

I have a hard time seeing Butch kick this kid to the curb over an injury that he's known about since before the Spring AND seemingly having no alternative TE plan waiting.

So a kid reinjures his ligament after having it surgically repaired and that means the surgeon should lose his job???

KOC is a top-notch group and I'm sure they have had patients who have reinjured body parts that were surgically repaired by their orthopods. There are some things that are out of a physician's control.


I hate that this kid has dropped off the map so much. Hopefully he'll make a full recovery and shine for us.

My parents, most importantly, they loved him. If they weren’t comfortable with it, then there might have been some issues, but they were completely comfortable with him. They loved who he was. They feel I’m in good hands, and that’s the most important thing to me.”

The 6-foot-5, 248-pound Brooks said he believes he will enjoy playing for Scott, who served as Miami’s tight ends coach for the past three years.

“It’s definitely easy to get along with him,” Brooks said. “He’s a great guy, funny dude. We had a lot of laughs together. Just overall, the way he speaks of how he’s going to coach, I’m going to love his coaching style. He’s all about fun. But with that fun comes responsibility and the acknowledgment that, ‘You have to get this done, or else we won’t have any fun time.’”

“Everybody’s pretty much backed off me now,” he said. “I don’t have any interest in changing my commitment at all. I’m 100-percent Vol. Any school that would even want to try, you might as well not. I’m not budging at this point.”

Like with the injury to Chance Hall, if you can get them 100% healthy, you got a steal.

I get what you're saying, but how is it a steal? They are an initial counter, regardless.

It's not like we're getting them in the 7th round, instead of the 1st round. :dunno:

They still count the same.
