'16 TN ATH JoeJuan Williams

He's closer to 5'9" 175 but I still see Miller as a very good lock down corner for us

Listed at 5'10 179 in high school and you have to believe the weight is up. Our nutritional staff works wonders. I haven't precluded him being a solid corner but I think he's more flexible than has been ruled out on here. Saw him in high school and he lays the wood...this isn't a shy flower.

I don't see safety at all. Was a pure CB to me coming out. Abernathy also looks like a CB(even though he has the size for the move). Gaulden is the only one due to his physicality but he's a CB to me too. I don't think we back off a DB of this caliber.
 
Yeah... I'll ride with DeConley on this one.

Agree. Not sure whether we get him or not but I don't believe we would pass on him and I don't believe Jones gives up on an instate kid this early if he wants him. Someone is getting their wires crossed somewhere though.
 
Given his reported speed and quickness, I've wondered if D. Bates might be able to play safety. Can you be too big? He has so much physical ability, I'd love to get him on the field more.

My opinion on Miller isn't a white flag on Williams or Warrior or...I just don't subscribe to this LOCKDOWN CORNER OR BUST mentality. He's more flexible than you read on a piece of paper.
 
Pure CBs like Miller don't play safety. He's a corner. He won't play safety. You don't have to have insider status to know this. Gaulden is different he's an animal can play anywhere.

I disagree with you and your absolute statement...NON-INSIDER to NON-INSIDER. :hi:
 
It's not that UT doesn't want him, according to Callahan. It's that Tennessee feels it is chasing other teams, such as Vandy, Auburn, and maybe Texas A&M was Callahan's thoughts.

Other things he mentioned:
You might have missed it, but I mentioned a couple times recently that Micah Abernathy, Rashaan Gaulden and maybe even Darrell Miller are looking like future safeties. It's probably not even out of the question that Jauan Jennings could move to safety in the future, so Tennessee feels it has a few options there. With that in mind, where the Vols primarily need help is at corner.

Sometimes I think these guys just make up news these days. 247 as a whole network is nice but Hubbs/Brice/Fort are much better resources for vol info. I don't know what they say about this stuff but I just take anything I hear from Vol 247 with a grain of salt. Very lacking in info. Tends to just feed off what other teams in recruit race are saying

It isn't even close. I can't believe people pay money to have access to We$ Rucker.

Friend at work has one but he said it's because of the full network access not the vol site. They don't get hardly any info anymore as he doesn't have Jack to send over anymore. When he would let me read the VIP room it was just a crap ton of words with not much actual info. Apparently that is no more and they get almost nothing now in terms of inside nuggets
 
Matthieu did...so yeah. He has a solid build already and will add weight.

I don't think he's on that level personally. That's a very special player. At his size he needs to be a freak athletically to play safety. And RBs are bigger now than they were when Honey Badger lined up.

Really? There was a dead period on big backs between Herschel Walker and Fournette? Honey Badger was drafted in 2013 dude! What year do you think this is? :w00t:

Is your argument that Miller will make a fine safety because..... Tyran Mathieu???
