.....any interest from UT with him? He is electric.

His stats this year weren't

 

[pricevol5]

Torry Holt is out of eligibility

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Matthews just didnt develop at all

 

[99vawl]

I thought Matthews was gonna be good here.

Gibson taking hold of the spot and McCoy being what he is introduces this downside. Wish him the best, but CB is a 3-4 position max. Only seeing field if injury

 

[swampfoxfan]

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.

? He's all SEC

 

[CamVol8]

Not saying it’s ideal but we return everybody at CB next year.

McCoy
Gibson
Mcmurray
Beasley

That’s very good depth and about as good as you can ask in this era where players do not want to ride the bench

 

[PowerT.]

Another Guard option

 

[KB5252]

? He's all SEC

Maybe as a returner, if 29 receptions for 361 and 3 touchdowns is All SEC production this conference sux!

It doesn't matter anyways as I guess it was troll post on X. But if it was real, it would be pretty bad optics to the rest of the team that a guy can quit on the team 1 year and come right back the next year with a bigger NIL deal and a guaranteed starting spot.

But all the players quit at some point if the money isn’t right. The NCAA has mandated by their own actions that there is no longer integrity in college football. The players just following their lead

 

[LittleVol]

You never clarified. So I sent you the worse of the two.

“Haha”

No.
I was responding to your Bishop comment.

What are you talking about.

Crazy…

Again, Bishop AND Lewis were in that comment. You responded with no clarification on who you were talking about.

“Haha”

OL probably the most important position of need. WRs have zero chance of catching the ball if the OL can't protect Nico long enough to throw the ball.

DL would be second. We lose a lot from the DL rotation, and that rotation is the key to our defense's success.

After that, there are lots of ways we can go. A dynamic WR. A blocking TE, where maybe we get lucky and find another like Kitselman. A safety to help the back end of the defense. Even an experienced LB to help or rotation. But OL and DL have to be addresses, IMO. After that, we're looking for luxuries, barring unexpected transfers.

OL played a lot better as the season went along but obviously we lose pieces there. Agreed that it’s the top priority. But after that WR and Saftey imo

 

[UTK]

Anyone talking about WR Kevin Concepion from
NC State? Would love to bring in a dude like him,

Dane Key from Kentucky is my number 1 want. 50/50 ball guy. We don’t really have that atm.

 

[UTK]

No that mad. Dude looked rough at times this year.

 

[UTK]

Go get him

View attachment 703749

I’d be a bit surprised to see us take a rb

 

[Deathandtaxes]

I’d be a bit surprised to see us take a rb

If we find a good back that can catch out of the backfield I say get him.

 

[JAllen18]

Think we might see another WR hit the portal as well, also look for a couple more to hit the portal in the spring.

 

[cncchris33]

Jalen Smith entering the portal.

Dang, that sucks. I liked him and felt he was coming on in these last few.

Smith was our highest graded LB in the Vandy game, per PFF.

Speed may have been an issue he'd have to improve upon to play against better teams, but I thought he had potential. Never know how the season debrief conversation went with the coaches, but I would've liked to see him continue to develop.

 

[VFL92]

Dane Key from Kentucky is my number 1 want. 50/50 ball guy. We don’t really have that atm.

Don't hold your breath. Unless something changes, he's most likely UGA-bound.
