DC Jefferson

This thread got me to wondering. What ever happened to John Rattay. He came in with Casey and transferred. What is he up to now.

IF we get him...we are really going to have a logjam at QB unless someone transfers out. Even if someone does transfer out we are still in a logjam, lol. If Crompton doesn't leave this year I don't think he will (Unless to Div II). Stephens I could see going, I think BJ will stay however. This kid looks really good though..want to pick him up anyway :)

J Cromp will likely start the 2 years after Ainge leaves. If so, that leaves Stephens with one, and then BJ with one, and then DC Jefferson with one (if we get him). We'll probably see some transfers.

Another post to start a fight.

Clausen had a security blanket in Witten that Peyton never had. Look at Stallworth's NFL career compared to Kent or Marcus Nash's. Clausen also had Banks and Washington. Tennessee never had those kinds of receivers when Peyton was here. Casey was great on the road and beat UF at the swamp twice, but he also had talent around him that Peyton didn't.

Ironically, the WR's play, spefically Donte Stallworth's big drop(s) in the 2001 SEC Championship killed Caseys legacy with UT fans. If we win that game, not only is Phil's seat A LOT cooler, but I think Casey would be thought of in a more positive light. So while the talent was clearly better, often times the output was disappointing.

UT had more NFL players on the 2001 team than on the 98 team. So yeah, we defidently should have beaten LSU.

Rohan Davie
Brady James
Marcus Randall
Michael Clayton
Cory Webster
Matt Mauck
Randall Gay
Labrandon Toefield
Josh Reed
Devery Henderson
Travis Daniels
Domanick Davis
Joseph Addai
Jarvis Green
Andrew Whitworth
Marcus Spears
Chad Lavalais
Marquise Hill
Robert Royal
Bennie Brazell

Those are guys I can think of off the top of my head that made NFL rosters from that 2001 LSU team. There are probably a few more. Not all those guys got significant playing time in the SEC Championship game, but that was an extremely talented team. They won the national championship just two years later.

These threads always go down the drain when they compare recruits to former players.. It happens almost everytime.:popcorn:

Tennessee had something like 27 pros on the 2001 team. That's compared to the 18 you just mentioned.

I'd be willing to bet that the LSU team had just as many guys that get regular PT in the NFL. A lot of those pros from the 2001 UT team didn't stay on a roster very long. Interestingly, most of those 27 NFLers were defensive linemen. If I had to pick someone to blame that loss on, it would be the D-line's inability to stop Matt Mauck's running. Also, Chavis is notorious for being unable to contain scrambling QBs.

The guys went after Rohan Davey so hard (he came out of the game cause we lit his a$$ up) that they were tired by the end of that game. Besides, Chavis adopted Tony Dungy's defensive philosophy. That includes getting to the qb first and foremost and forcing turnovers. We force turnovers by forcing the qb to scramble. Luckily for LSU Mauck didn't throw any big picks. And that's not neccessarily true about the d-linemen. There are WRs, a TE, and DBs that start in the NFL from that team. D-linemen only had what 2 guys that start in the NFL now from that team.

thats the truth. Russell's running won LSU the game last year, and he never runs the ball

Demetrin Veal, John Henderson, Al Haynesworth, Aubrayo Franklin, and one other guy get a lot of PT. 3 of them at least are starters. Several more are still around or were at least in the NFL for a time.

There's a new rivals article up on DC. It doesn't really offer any new information, but it mentions that Florida is probably out of the running for DC's services.

His coach said that DC is a pass first qb, and doesn't really like the Florida offense...FSU, LSU, Auburn and others will put the full court press on this kid, but I really like our chances at landing him.
