That's what you'd call a caveat in regards to Sapp. There are other linebacker recruits that can't seem to see the field.

Bynum, Bates, and Bryant. Everyone else has seen the field and played ok. Bynum was just someone he had to recruit his first year. He probably wouldn't be someone we would recruit the last few years. Bates has had injuries and just hasn't developed along with Bryant. Hasn't been a long list. I would say most teams would struggle if they lost 4 LB's who would play significant time.

"Tennessee is special. They have been recruiting me the hardest and it just felt right," Ignont wrote in a message to AL.com. "Everyone knows Tennessee is going to be something special in the next couple of years. It's perfect timing, to step into an SEC school where my position is a major need for them. I fell in love when I visited and at the end of my visit I knew where I wanted to go to school. I got that feeling that I hadn't got anywhere else."

..."Its a huge relief," Ignont said of his commitment. "I'm just glad that I've found a home and I'm 110 percent committed. I'm ready to live my dream and play SEC football and become the best player I can be."

Ignont has excelled in his second full season as a linebacker, recording 67.5 tackles, 19.5 tackles for a loss and 5.5 sacks in nine games. The Bucks, who did not quality for the playoffs, close the regular season Thursday at North Jackson.

Tennessee desperately needs depth at the linebacker position, and Ignont has a chance to come in and cement a role early — a priority in his recruitment.

“They told me I have what it takes to come in and play as a true freshman,” he said. “I just have to come in and compete and I can (earn) a job. It’s all on me. I think I’m good enough to play early if I come in and work hard.”

We mostly only play 2 LBs at a time.

Jumper has played all year.

Kirkland has been injured nearly all year.
Reeves-Maybin injured nearly all year.
Sapp out for the year.

Cortez McDowell has played a lot - injured at A&M. Elliot Berry has played. Dillon Bates has played.

Other than Gavin Bryant I've got no idea who all these LBs that aren't playing are - please make a list.

Dillon Bates should be a major contributor and he's not.
Gavin Bryant should be a major contributor and he's not.
Elliot Berry should be a major contributor and he's not.

The drop off between the starters and these guys is substantial.if you can't see that then there's no need to further the discussion.

How can you say that about Berry? Did he have 9 tackles and 3 TFL's in his only start?

Sounds like you may be confusing recruiting misses and development.

Some players don't contribute until they are upper class men. Ellix Wilson was great his senior year, but did very little prior to that. Robert Ayers was another guy who did very little his 1st 3 years on campus.

The drop off between JRM and Kirkland to the other players is more significant than it should have been. We're talking about upper classman that wouldn't see the field if it hadn't been for injuries. Yes, I think the development of the linebackers has been questionable.

Maybe they were recruiting misses. You would expect juniors to contribute and most of those wouldn't see the field if it hadn't been for injuries.

Boy is he night and day difference now or what I've seen a big difference in him I can't even hate on him anymore but I do agree he isn't very strong in covering the middle but he's done great so far with containing he's made some big stops

I simply disagree. You mentioned 2 All-SEC type players. Of course there will be drop off. This isn't different than any other program when you lose 4 LB's.

I didn't say I wouldn't expect any drop off. I didn't expect the level of drop off I've witnessed.
