I'm not sure how much time or resources are allocated to the Memphis metro area. But they should probably double both if they want to get those kids.

It's almost like beating a dead horse as many times as its been said. But there are several schools a lot closer to Memphis that put in a lot of time there.

Coach Johnson. More so in the Louisiana area, but he was at U of Memphis for two years. Gotta think he built some relationships with the coaches there.

Why stop there? He'll make Randy Moss look like a scrub. They'll have to create rules to slow down his dominance. He'll find the cure for all the world's diseases...while scoring a touchdown

Randy Moss could have played pro basketball

c'mon man, pro baseball?

there is a pretty big difference between college, Single A, Double, and Triple. Then, the Majors. Huge.

That's what makes what Bo Jackson was able to do. that much more amazing. Jordan tried it. There's a difference in seeing a 85 mph curve and then seeing a 90 mph slider, then a 95 mph fastball....all with same throwing motion. HUGE difference. id argue its one of the most difficult things to do in all of sports.

in HS you were taught to place the fastball, then throw curve. these guys throw off speed first, then throw that junk inside. screwballs, knuckle curves, sliders, inside on your hands. Then locate that ****! 95-97 mph fastball, moving away, just freezes you. dont care how great an athlete you are. Ainge was a pretty good pitcher, listen to him say it.

I faced a kid out of Central high school once. he threw a decent fastball for a lefty. not sure if he even knew how to throw a cutter. he was a tall lanky guy. he'd throw that fastball, dip down, not quite 3/4. your eyes would get huge...think youd knock it out of the park. get you out on front foot. pitch would just move, away...away...he prolly threw in mid 80's. like Tom Glavine. it was good nighr sweetheart. ring em up, every time. Cool Story?

lets put Randy Johnson up against Mr. Moss.

I played pro ball and taught at Jim Rice Baseball School and I have seen a lot and he had the outfield skill to play pro ball. I never said major league sir outright but he had skills. He played with a pro basketball player, a Notre Dame starting linebacker, and a high draft pick by the brewers and he was better than all of them in their one sport and did them all part time.

well you know better than I do how hard pro ball is. he maybe could have played ball but to play in Majors. i feel like youd have to specialize.

that is a ridiculous type of athlete though.

I have a family member that spent an entire career playing in the pros. He will be the first to tell u that his brother was a better ball player but he lucked out (the right people saw him at the right time). He's a world series mvp. A lot of it has to do with skill but sometimes u need luck, I'm telling ya

19 for '19: Vols early wish list

Nash is as explosive as they come at the receiver position. Tennessee will be in Memphis a lot for the 2019 class and Memphis Central will be a location where the Vols will throw up a tent. Nash enjoyed Rocky Top last weekend and he sees the potential to be an instant plug and play guy. Wide receivers coach David Johnson knows Memphis well and that gives him a leg-up with Nash.

I hope this kid shuts it down early.

Anyone know if he plans on attending one of our Junior Days?

On one of the recent volquest podcasts they said that it seems like Pruitt and co. aren't really planning any big junior days. Rather they are just planning to host players every weekend that they can get kids in. The volquest guys were kind of grumbling about it because one or two big weekends would make things easier on them. Seems like something that could be subject to change though.

That's interesting. I would think having a group of guys in at once would help them all bond and get them excited about playing together. But maybe this will allow coaches more one-on-one time with players? It might even allow us to ultimately bring in more kids, too.

They’ll still have camps and stuff though. The VQ guys said that’s how a lot of kids are going to get offers

“The last time we spoke with 2019 4 star wide receiver Shamar Nash in mid-January, the Memphis prospect had yet to hear from Tennessee’s new staff.

Since then, however, Nash received a visit from the coaches at his high school and wasted no time taking a visit to Knoxville making the trip across state last weekend.

“The visit was great,” Nash said. “I saw a couple of old guys I used to play with, and it looks really different from what I saw my last time up.

“The staff was the same as when I met a couple of them earlier on, and I got a chance to sit down with Coach [Jeremy] Pruitt. He was very involved in all the players he’s recruiting.”

Nash joined a highly talented group of visitors in the 2019 class. Most of which coming from the state of Tennessee.

“Our class is filled with a lot of talent,” Nash said. “All of us being in the same place at the same time was just a sight to see.”

Nash, who is rated as the No. 5 prospect in the state of Tennessee by 247 Sports composite, has no plans of committing too soon, but he does name a group of three leaders.

“As of right now my leaders are Missouri, Tennessee and Auburn, but all of my other offers are definitely in the race,” Nash said.

“As far as committing, I’m not rushing the process. I’m just enjoying it because once you pick it’s time to roll and all of the other stuff doesn’t matter”
