'16 TN LB Daniel Bituli (UT commit 7/18/15)

[Guyute]

Paul Naumoff, Tom Fisher, Jack Reynolds, Steve Kiner and Jackie Walker (among others) beg to differ. Wilson was good but the best ever to suit up... nawwwww.

Great players but I don't think you make that list without Wilson being mentioned at our near the top.

One of the best college football players I have seen. Intangibles and championships separate him from so many other great players

 

[AllforTenn]

Tom Fisher probably the best. Such a tragic ending to his playing days.
Check the stats.

 

[perico]

That was Fulmer and Chavis' plan for Ronnie Brown, but he decided he'd be a better RB at Auburn.

I played against Ronnie in high school. My ankles still haven't recovered.

Isn't Bituli a linebacker though? Why would we see him on the D-line?

People are speculating he'll outgrow the LB position.

 

[E20volfan]

Bituli reminds me of another LB that came in and wound growing into an undersized NG that was a solid player, Shazzon Bradley.

 

[armchair]

Outgrow the LB position? He's listed at 200 pounds. Is that wrong? He'd have to gain a ton of weight to play DE.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Bituli is like 230

 

[BurninOrange]

Bituli is like 230

I think this is the closest to being correct. The last time I heard he was up to as much as 240. So him outgrowing the lb position is very likely

yep. Hes pretty similiar to Darrell Taylor and Austin Smith in build coming out of high school.

When is he gong to sign? He is friends with Kongbo (their fathers talked a lot) and it looks like Ole Miss was after both of these kids. I hope Ole Miss is not trying to flip him.

 

[JBondVol]

Anyone know when this kid is signing?

Worried about him with the Kongbo deal.

 

[HwyChile]

I asked the same question on the signing thread because I have the same worry, and somebody said there was nothing to worry about with him because his HS has a late afternoon signing ceremony.

Looks like we have the same concerns. Wouldn't be surprised if Freeze got to Kongbo thru Bituli. Hope not.

Yes, he's much bigger

I saw on Twitter 11:30, but I don't know if that's eastern

Good :good!:

 

[Volnukem]

One of the rivals guys said 11:30.

 

[engineerVOL]

Signing in a few minutes

Yes Fort said it, so assuming that is EST.

 

[OddFuture]

My guess is he will be listed as a LB/DE when he signs and around 230 lbs

 

[HwyChile]

Maybe if we get him signed up that is a good sign we get Kongbo.

 

[NapTownVol9]

are you serious? Now you are going to try and say Bituli is flipping and no mention of that at all.

 

[engineerVOL]

Boom signed sealed and delivered!!
