Would u rather have Byrd move back to CB ? I would. Especially, considering the talent UT will bring in next year at WR. This year, I would try to give him 15 snaps or so, on defense, with the understanding that in 2018, Byrd would be a full time CB

That's 15 snaps a game

I never would've put him on offense to begin with, really.

Maybe this year he breaks out on offense and shows that it was a smart move, but I'm always for putting the game changers on defense if they've got the skillset.

But he'll either have to play at a really high level for us at WR in 2017 or the DBs will have to make a massive step forward for it to look like a good move in retrospect.

He is obviously talented and has speed, my issue is the coaching staff decided to move him to offense, put him in the slot, and then barely used him. He had a few big gains and drawed up plays, but we could have used his production more on defense. Our coaching staff has really under utilized a lot of our talent these past few seasons, that has got to change. We have got to start getting our playmakers the ball more and putting our boys in the best position to succeed. The team should be molded to fit our players' strengths while forming their own identity. Obviously we will have a common scheme, but our team should not be forced to play a system that does not work with our roster. We have to adapt to what we have and play to our strengths.

It also makes me wonder if we are taking away Byrd's true ability to shine and reach his full potential at Tennessee. I know he's an ATH, but he was highly regarded as a CB, and we have him playing slot WR. I think they should attempt to play him both ways at least, or let him pick where he wants to be on the field. I would at least like to see what he is capable of at CB.

Always thought of him as a prototype CB.

Per Georgia insider Rusty Mansell of 247Sports, four-star defensive back Kyler McMichael will announce a commitment on Friday morning.

It will not be a press conference, so the likely assumption is that it will occur via Twitter.

McMichael (6-1, 196) has a top six of Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, and Tennessee.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Greater Atlanta Christian product most recently visited Tennessee last weekend. Prior to that, he visited Clemson on Saturday, June 10.

Wait a minute… He just visited us and is now announcing his commitment?

Gut says Clemson. But McMichael's decision to push up announcement certainly came out of left field. He just released his Top 6 exactly a week ago. I think it's a three-team race — with coaches at Clemson, UGA and UT all having shades of confidence. Will dig more here, obviously, but not sure anyone will know where McMichael is headed until he tweets his decision.

I wonder if Abernathy is helping us any with this one. I'm pretty sure he went to GAC.

Something changed his mind because he released a top 6 last week and wasn't planning to commit until September. Then yesterday says he's committing this Friday.

I'm not saying he's going to pick UT. I'm just pointing out something triggered him to move up his commitment date. Clemson rivals even has an article up from yesterday morning mentioning his plans are to commit in September.

Hopefully it's UT. Would be a nice surprise.
