'18 GA DL Kurott Garland (Tennessee signee)

[jasonvol18]

It may or may not be quite as deliberate as that, but like you said, it's very much assumed and implied at the very least. It's not uncommon either. I named 3 cases off the top of my head just in the past 12 years at Tennessee.

You're absolutely right. I know Nash/Rogers..Neither worked out and Moore/Career and in that case the throw in ended up better. Sometimes it pays off and other times it doesn't. We had nothing to lose by signing him now though. Hopefully it pays off.

Pruitt said they found him at the all state game while looking for under the radar players. Hopes to get him to 290lbs

sounds good

 

[Jackcrevol]

Carrot Garland?

 

[jasonvol18]

I thought we were only taking him to get Jordan Young? So basically Jordan played us to get his teammate a scholarship?

If that was the case we wouldn't have taken his commitment. They like him as a player not not a throw in.

Jeeezus what's up with all the D-lineman?

Jeeezus what's up with all the D-lineman?

Did you see last years D line?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Did you see last years D line?

haha exactly my thoughts

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

We don’t have any lol

After today we'll have 10 DE's and 4 DT's

 

[RiseToTheTop]

After today we'll have 10 DE's and 4 DT's

its a 3-4 now also to be taken into account.

 

[Orange defense]

He said that he is getting guys that can play different positions, and that is what is going on. The roster that we have now he said, guys will be moved around a lot.

 

[Grudenator]

Yeah a lot of these smaller DE’s will be LB’s

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

its a 3-4 now also to be taken into account.

5 deep at end and 4 deep at tackle.

 

[Glitch]

Boom for this young man! I trust this staff to eval talent. Especially the defensive staff. If they think this kid can play then I'm excited to see what he can do!

 

[VolSince84]

Kid has a Marcell Dareus build. Hopefully he can be that productive here.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Holy sh!t, we're all gonna die....

God you're such a candy a$$....

I wish I could give this more than just the one like. :good!:

 

[rekinhavoc]

Boom!

 

[KBVol]

entire class? or just the guys we got today? also, what metrics do you go by when evaluating talent? Just curious, as you seem to be very sure of this

Guys we got today outside of a couple. JP did an outstanding job in December with early signing period, but surprisingly struggled with more time in January. Lotta reaching for players and missing on top targets today.

Yeah I am always excited to steal players from coastal carolina & eastern ky. Wonder if the citadel has any wr prospects we can poach.

 

[Coach Punk]

I wondered if they thought he could be fast enough for jack. Fatten him up and let him go. Probably a redshirt along with Harris.

 

[thunder5]

Kid looks very explosive in his film...I just hope these diamonds in the rough pan out...and I hope our coaches can really coach...today certainly didn’t help the talent gap at all

He looks very much like Kendall Vickers only in a lot better shape.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Rough over here never thought football board would be better shape than this one

 

[ACvol3]

Good looking h9ghlights for sure. Dude gets off the ball in a hurry and is really physical.
