'19 GA WR Jerrod Means (Pitt signee)

I recall reading he flew under the radar because he didn’t do a lot of camps. Granted others here have said that he can’t multiple times with Pruitt. Doesn’t mean both statements aren’t true.

bama had the #3 recruiting class in the nation that year.

also, it's not like this stiff guy (whoever he is) was even tagged in that persons tweet. stiff went out of his way to show this person up. the mount cody game was probably the last time we were even competitive against bama and he's gonna use that as an example of being able to develop players?

*shrug* whatever. its a bad look imo.

You truly are struggling comprehending what stiff said and why he brought up Cody. He responded to a dude that said you can't build a foundation with 3 star jucos DL. So he screenshots a picture of a 3 star Juco DL that was part of the early Bama foundation. You act like Cody didn't become a top draft pick just because he had to block a FG to beat us. That is the strangest thought process I've ever seen

lol so Stiff is just perusing twitter looking for people that are trashing the recruiting class so he can throw some shade?

Don’t think it’s similar. Jordan Young literally had no offers and played on a hidden GA team. Once we offered, FSU and others investigated and offered.

Means played 6A ball down in GA. Had other offers already - albeit mediocre ones. We offered in June, six months ago.

Not trying to discredit Means or the staffs decisions to take him. Just pointing out how I don’t see the parallels to JY last year.

Young was INCREDIBLY overrated. Ran two routes in his high school offense. Kept FSUs bench nice and warm.

Means played a bunch of positions and will likely add speed to somewhere on this team.

I'd be willing to bet that you find a lot of things to be a "bad look".

Whether he was looking for it or not is beside the point...

Why are you doing this??

Are there any former Vols named Means. Seems like there was a LB here in the 80s or 90s. Can any of our UT historians confirm this?

I don't recall a Vol LB by the surname Means.

However, a name that did come to mind when first seeing the thread title was a pretty good RB out of North Carolina during that time named Natrone Means.

I never implied otherwise.

I just see a little hypocrisy in posting on twitter about star chasing when our staff really wanted and never could gain much traction with a bunch of 4* and 5* guys. If we'd never courted Payton or Haselwood, then I'd get it.

You don't always get the top of the board so you move down. GA didn't get Haselwood either....but their fans are complaining about him and a few others so I guess that's just the way it is.

David Johnson has to see a lot of Josh Palmer in this kid. Similar build and speed, hopefully he has some tools to work with. It’s been simply astonishing watching Palmer improve from year 1 to year 2. The guy went from not being able to locate a ball whatsoever to averaging almost 20 a clip.

It’s a bad look to defend a recruit for doing literally nothing wrong other than be ranked too low for fans standards? I disagree

Plenty of coaches that are on our current staff coached at Alabama, I guess that offends you too

Pruitt said Means would start off at WR but could possibly play multiple positions. What other positions could he get a look at? Safety or maybe outside LB?

I remember him exposing Jeremy Lincoln for not being able to kick the ball more than six and a half feet high when it gets to the line of scrimmage

To be fair, he was a defensive back...converted WR because of the hands. Carved out a decent career in the NFL tho.

The only Means that I know of is Albert Means who was the lineman from Memphis who Alabama got in trouble for buying for $130, 000. He was also the subject the bammers claim that Fulmer turned Alabama in to the NCAA that makes them hate Fulmer to this day.
