Personally think we’re missing that D Samp or Jaylen Wright shifty, hole finding, home run hitter. Cam and Lewis are stupid fast but I haven’t seen shiftiness out of either of them yet.

Edit: to be fair Cam hasn’t really had the chance to show that yet due to injuries. I’d go either Cam or Lewis as the 1-2 and Bishop as 3.

I think that would be Morris that we just signed.

My only concern would be depth. There's a good chance that one of the freshman would be the second back for atleast SEC game.

What are the Vols looking like at RB next guys? Everybody hopeful?

Hopefully everybody back with the exception of Sampson (think he goes pro or atleast he should). I also think we get back to the 3 head RB by committee next year. Like someone said earlier, we will be fine in the run game, history proves that.

Wondering how much his fumblitis will ding him in the draft. Surely is not ideal to come at the end of the season as that may be the freshest on the mind of the NFL scouts.

Call him, I’ll pay his NIL personally. Let him return punts or something.

Yea it sucks but he never fumbled before this season so maybe it's a result of the heavy work load. He won't be an everydown back in the NFL. Hopefully it doesn't ding him too much.

I'm too lazy to come up with a Will Brooks joke, but I'm sure there's a couple to be had.

Just amazed at the 100+ tackles each season. All of his INTs were last season

“If your DBs have a ton of tackles, you ain’t covering”

I wonder why he has so many?

You’re aiming “too high”

Safety is a little different than CB. I would guess Purdues letting people run wild into the third level.

Seldon, Bishop, PLew carry the load next year in a 3 headed attack.

Basically a Lance Heard 2.0:
5-star elite recruit who hasn’t played much at all

Well, this guy wasn’t a 5 star, so…

Hasn’t played in 2 years, and passed up by Farooq and Thomas. No surprise.

Figured he would stay, tbh. He would start his Sr. year. Whatever

Honestly surprised we haven’t heard Matthews name. (Jordan)

Is this guy on the road again?

 

[KB5252]

You have to admit he would be a quality get

Blue font?

He's inconsistent and the reason we passed on him to begin with is the reason we don't take a look now.

He'd help us at kick return but not better than anyone we have on the roster now.

 

[GVol1966]

Agree. I really hope we keep Seldon. But if he leaves, we're thin. Even if we keep Keith because I don't see Keith as a guy who provides a lot.

Health is the key. If they are all healthy, we should be good

I see him as a candidate to transfer

Just need to find a Waylon and Merle to go with him

This guy

Pass, on him , the OL from Miss St and anyone else that’s already played for 2 or more schools.

Looks like Nico’s class just isn’t cutting it.

- Slaughter
- Matthews
- Bradley
- Lang
- Keith
- Conyer
- Luttrell

I could see Okoye, Leacock, and Jalen Smith being added to this list. I could see 1-2 of the OL from that class leave as well. JMO
