'25 Northwestern Transfer OL Josh Thompson

[Jackcrevol]

I’m all for stacking the portal OL but it’s still a major red flag Elarbee hasn’t started one recruit in 4 years.

Yes! But the portal is a thing. Lame Sniffin uses it solely for his recruiting! Get better.

The good thing with adding this kid to go along with Moe, it now gives you a ton of flexibility with what you wanna do with the final OL spot.

Two really good portal OL. Different possibilities.

Picked up a crystal ball on 247Sports from Matt Zenitz a little while ago.

This is satisfactory.

This staff just like last year with TEs always seem to knock it out of the park when going after positions of dire need in the portal.

Cool. Figured this was the case when he started following Vol Football and Nico this morning.

Now go worry about skill positions. ***** getting thin

I mean we are addressing the biggest issues first but damn feels like they could’ve got at least one elite skill guy while they were available. It seems we’re going to stick to the plan of developing our young WRs for the most part.

QB, TE we’re fine imo. RB we’re at least decent there. Oline been addressed. WR though? We don’t look close to decent there.

Safety we really have to add some speed at that position. Sounds like a good portion of talent coming back along the Dline.

If we could manage to land the Branch brothers, kill 2 birds with 1 stone. S&WR.

Heard finished the season strong

He won’t be. He will be starting at Left Tackle in 2025 for the Tennessee Volunteers football team.

He’s gonna be good
Oline looking better then last year

 

[BJWeeks]

Well with nobody that can coach the oline worth a crap it doesn't matter

Heard missed a lot of time in pre season and fall camp. He was never in game shape. This offseason is massive for him. Stay healthy, transform his body, and get ready for next year. Will be a different player next year imo.

TENNESSEE is very smart in Portal and we hit much more than we miss. Locker Room is very Important Coach understands. Now I like some believe we need RB and 1 WR hopefully difference makers but for sure depth. Also believe we need a Safety that can really play. . Grace Mercy and Peace unto You All. In CHRIST Alone

Why do we even recruit OL? Not a single one Heupels staff has recruited has played since he’s been here.

5 starters on OL. Last season three of those were guys who have been here forever. This year two of those guys were (Coop and Sprags). So last year only two open spots for guys they’ve recruited. This season was the first time we’ve had three open spots for those guys.

Let’s see how it goes moving forward.

Great pickup!!!

So many of these posts. Heupel’s first class were only sophomores this year and SOPHOMORES RARELY START IN THE SEC, while we’ve had more experienced guys. Satterwhite, Warren, Perry, Sham, etc. will all play, but it’s not an indictment that they haven’t played yet.

In fact, our (freshmen) recruits played more snaps than 10/11 other playoff teams during the regular season.

Moe/Thompson grade out as 2 of the best IOL Heupel will have had here. Great gets.
