'19 GA ATH Owen Pappoe (Auburn signee)

Good call. Would have liked for him to be a Vol, but oh well. What does SPARQ measure? i'm not sure.
Basically athleticism. Explosiveness, change of direction, etc... Pappoe is an absolute freak athlete, but kinda playing out of position for his size at ILB.
 
I really don't get signing with auburn. I mean I can understand we're a mess but our boosters aren't sabotaging our coaching hires. I know there are incentive$ but it's a mess on the plains.
 
Auburn will be in a head coaching search next year. Hate to see this kid go there knowing the uncertainty that is coming.

I'm curious as to what ole Gus could have told Pappoe to ease his mind?

'Owen, ignore the fact that I signed a contract to reduce my buyout so the university can fire me easier. Also ignore the fact that all of the coaches and coordinators only have 1 year contracts. Probably shouldn't pay attention to the kid whose redshirt count we botched. Other than that, we plan here to at least be here one year of your college career.'

kid just probably likes the school.
He made a great decision!

Bring on
Payton
Russell
Gray
Volunteer State talent.
 
If we land To'oto'o and/or Marshall, to go along with Henry and Russell, we will be just fine at LB.

Next year we'll still have Darrell Taylor (more hand in the dirt, but still), Bituli (who has long arms and showed flashes), JJ Peterson (hopefully will be in shape) and Ignont who got some run. Add Lakia for immediate PT, and top it off with Russell for depth and a surprise like Marshall or Tootoo, we'll be okay. Best is still yet to come.. LB recruiting will probably be a big focus of the 2020 class, I'd imagine.

Did you mean to leave Crouch out?

This may literally be the biggest fantasy yet most positive response I've seen in a long time. You forgot, "But if not all of this, Owen could always flip a hat and come to UT." I like this guy, and I also liked Chism as well 😃
 
The truth comes out. His GF wants him close by.
