Some panned out but several were busts.

Thanks, cool to look back at that info. It's scary to think of some of that talent that got away. Patrick Turner, Tee Higgins, Golden Tate, Van Jefferson, Amari Rogers......that is some serious WR talent my friends and we missed em all. I don't think that will happen very often while we are running this offense.

I think this award goes to Lamarcus Coker or Jauan Jennings

 

[utvolpj]

I added the word "rated" or this would have been a much different thread

 

[jvol1]

Doesn't look like Rod Wilkes made the list?

 

[SpookyAction]

Jack Jones was a waste of a good lineman. Butch misused that entire class.


Drew Richmond

Lamarcus Coker, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time!! I remember him being around the Erik ainge and foster days. That’s when I first started watching ut football and I remember him running back a kick off for a touchdown and thinking man this guy is on another level!! … it’s really sad how his story turned out bc he was one of my favorite vols that didn’t pan out.

Rod Wilks is never included in lists because all lists are merely contenders with Rod Wilks assumed to be the champion.

I wonder how many “Rod Wilks” jokesters ever won anything? And I’m not talking about 10th grade JV dressing out on Friday night playing 3 plays in the 4th Qtr.

LaMarcus Coker was so good. Hate that he couldn’t keep it together

Few guys have ever looked the part more than he did.

Brandon Warren was such a monster in high school. Number 1 ranked Tight end and DE in the country. Dude showed up two weeks before the start of the yr for FSU and started against Miami at TE.

OMG, I just looked him up; Warren played for my old school.......UNA.

We are sorry Mrs. Wilks. We won't pick on your son anymore

Paul Bain might disagree.

 

[Vol865]

Coker could've been a good one. McClendon was a mauler.

 

[GoVols1961]

I wish we had gotten Jalen Ramsey. Jeremy Pruitt recruited him to Florida State. Pruitt left the next year for Georgia.

Rod Wilks delivered & set up our washer-dryer a few weeks ago. Terrific young man who's good with all the good-natured humor about his career as a VOL.

Good to hear he’s doing well. I always wonder where the guys end up.
