I am not going to get into specific names because I have respect for every kid out there laying it on the line for UT, but I am not sure I really see a single junior that would not benefit by coming back for his senior season. There are a couple that may have looked that way the first of the year, but clearly all the juniors could raise their stock with a final season under their belt at UT. GBO

AJ is as pro ready as he is going to get, and Tiny's season may have sucked enough to come back. But he is still projected 1st round, and as a tackle, you take that money and run

AJ would benefit most by turning pro. He is a 3-4 ILB and 1 more year on Rocky Top will not help him and his future in the NFL. Adding 35-40 lbs to his 245 frame will not benefit him in my opinion. He will not be able to play DE in the NFL. I think he has great potential if he gets drafted by a team like the Steelers/Ravens. Even last year in his 1st year in a 3-4, you could see his potential.

I feel like Tiny is going to act like he's going pro,

But then pull back, and say he's staying for his senior season.


And then get flagged for a false start.

I forget when, who and where but some recruit said that he talked to the O-line and they said they we're all going pro and that UT needs them.

Tiny was made to fire off the ball from a three-point stance, not a two-point the way he is forced to be in this offense. Coming back won't help him at all prepare for the next level - just a bad fit for him.

Not sure they will all be going pro but all the starters are seniors except Tiny and I don't think there's any chance he will be back next year.

Im ready to see some new lineman that haven't learned to catch the initial hit from the defender and get some men with a nasty attitude that fire off the ball and dominate the guy in front of them. I hope we got some Chad Clifton style linemen coming.

Ok now you have 99 chances to say something smart, because if you haven't by 1000, then there's no help for you.

Lol have you ever even read my posts? I'm usually on the basketball side. If you're criticizing me of my education, I'm curious to what you think about other people on this forum. Man it can be ugly here.

The post seems uneducated and redundant. The juniors have a 'chance' to raise their stock, in a year's worth of playing time they could get injured or they could do worse than the previous year. I would say it's better for them to declare because

A. We just experienced another losing year, how many more will they want to endure?

B. They are missing out on a salary of $100,000+ to just work out and ride the bench (assuming no one who enters is good enough to even start in the NFL).

It's silly how you say I haven't made an educated post, by judging from what you post I haven't seen anything notable or worth mentioning at all that you have posted. Either you're a bit ignorant or just stupid for calling someone out who you don't even know.

Pretty hard to "fire off the ball and dominate the guy in front" from a two point stance.
