He has eligibility left? Wow.

Was wondering the same.

Apparently he was a COVID freshman, RS at Louisville so has 1 year left.

Feels like he been in college forever.

It’s settled them, MM will go for 5 touchdowns against Bama

[Vol423]

Have you not been listening to VN? MM was clearly the best man last season yet barely played!

Clearly. Someone over in the Amari Jefferson thread is trying to act like there's a world of difference between Jefferson not playing at Bama in 2024 and MM's 7 catches for 90 yards at UT.

Splash player we're targeting on the offensive side of the ball

My only question would be then why, when our o line was struggling at tackle, were they not brought in to help?

I know you can't answer that but given it issues there it doesn't make me feel any better that they feel confident.

Right? Hard to tell the actual truth?


When they put in backups at both Tackle spots vs Arkansas....Nico got hammered 3 plays in a row then we punted. Those replacements were not the "developed underclassmen" referenced here though. It was Johnson and the older white Tackle that played in Campbell spot half the time IIRC.

I think we have made progress in the interior guys like Satterwhite, Umarov, etc...yet to see any of the 4 Tackles from 23 and 24 show capability. Warren, Ginther etc have been MIA.

What position on offense?

Old friend HB15!

Of course he is.

What news of the Alabamian?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Old friend HB15!

One needs a spreadsheet to keep up with this guys teams.

I could have sworn he was on his 7th season of college ball already. Thought he was on the Vols roster going back to like 2018. The Pruitt era and especially the COVID season is like a blur to me.

 

[ConwayFitty]

Great idea! Let's grab UTC wide receivers! That will have us beating Ohio State in no time.

yeah cause Terrell Owens never went to UTC

 

[VolsCigarMan]

I wish Oregon RB Jordan James would hit the portal and come home. He would be perfect one year fix at RB and step right in

 

[VolsCigarMan]

yeah cause Terrell Owens never went to UTC

looks like USC might grab him if all goes well on his visit but VT showing crystal balls. That USC WR coach everybody wanted to come here must like what he sees. Considering all the NFL players he has coached, I'm sure he knows WR's

 

[Vol423]

yeah cause Terrell Owens never went to UTC

In 2024?

 

[marcusluvsvols]

You're not wrong.

Remember when we brought in Kitselman for depth and he turned into the starting TE and a good one? That could also happen again at another position.

Happened at Dtackle too...Norman Lott is projected as a late 1st or 2nd rounder. 2 sacks vs Bama were HUGE.

All these sorry azz Negas on Twitter, FB, and here trashing this program, the coaches, AD, collectives etc SO MUCH that it is actually causing drama and recruits asking about it....and all this staff did LAST YEAR in the portal was:

Get freshman All American CB McCoy...now All SEC, 3rd team AA here.

Get freshman All American WR Brazzell who started all season, 2 years left

Get Omar N.Lott. showed out, 1st or 2nd round draft pick coming up

Get Kitselman. Best TE and best hands on team. Also best blocker at TE. Is TE1

Get 5* Left Tackle Heard. Improved all season. Starter next year with 2 to play

Get Jacobe Thomas Safety, injured but expected to contribute next year

Who did I miss? I know I missed someone..but just those 6 guys above us is killing the portal. Killing it. We are just now getting started in the portal this year. The 2 guys we have so far are a great start though. We have put 16 or 17 guys in the portal...and there are only 2 backup pieces we likely wanted to keep. Backup LB and backup CB. Everyone else was a UT or mutual decision. We have resigned everyone else which is priority #1.

This staff has been outstanding at improving recruiting and the roster every season. 16 out of 25 guys in the 2025 class are bluechips ranked in the Top300 recruits. 16 for 25. Wish the NegaVols would go cheer for bama or the pups. They are a festering boil on the azz of our fanbase.

how big a splash we talkin?

 

[vol94]

48 hours in Tennessee lasts a whole week

Agree. lol.

Hubbs and AP weren’t aware that NY Eve was considered a holiday, too. So this gave Stan until 5pm today to enter paperwork. Crazy!

This proves nobody knew a dam$ thing about the situation- only speculation.

Especially me!

Glad he’s staying. So we have Brazzell, Matthews, Staley and two tight ends. I still want an elite athlete with burner speed to go to the house on any given play or over the top.

Give us initials of the player or initials of the university he’s at currently.

10 games...not just 7 catches. Yes, playing in 10 games in an SEC schedule is different than not playing at all. Totally different feel as a competitor. Does that mean Mike is automatically head and shoulders above? Not necessarily, but that game experience is important.

 

[ShelbourneVol]

Also anyone that cancelled their Vol Club sub in outrage remain morons

I posted the other day that if all Volnation.com members contributed $10 per month to the Vol Club then that would add more than $6 million a year to the NIL total. I currently contribute $100 per month, but am fortunate to be able to do, but $10 per month is not that much.
