Georgia boy. Potentially looking to climb the ladder to UGA? We'll see

Come climb it at Tennessee

Anyone have access to this? Are we on here?

 

[Blake25p]

Chas Nimrod going in tomorrow

Anyone who’s entered the portal we should keep an eye on?

[SmokeyDaBear]

When do we expect news from our camp on who we talking to? I’m guessing after CFP prep?

 

[PowerT.]

Anyone have what AP just posted?

Hey Josh, guess what our coaches name is? Josh, like you. Maybe that’s a sign you should play for him.

If you're a guy on a playoff team, with one of the biggest games in program history coming up, and you're in the rotation... why do you not see the year through? So weird.

Looking more, didn't realize his snaps had dropped so much. Played 150 snaps less this year than last, and most of those were earlier in the year.

He had half a dozen big drops in big games. Had 1-2 walk-in touchdowns in Arkansas that he dropped. Probably why his snaps dropped off mid year. Tough but he got the dropsies.

 

[SoilVol]

New slot to replace Nimrod?

Anyone have what AP just posted?

"Like I mentioned in the WR on Friday, Tn is going to focus on interior lineman on both sides of the ball. Patrick Kutas sounds like he is going to head elsewhere. Sounds like Ole Miss may have been done on that one when he went in.

Northwestern OL Josh Thompson is one that very well could visit Tennessee.

Some of you have asked about Mose Phillips III and right now I’m not sure Tennessee is targeting a safety. The Vols have lots of bodies in the backend of their defense and so it would be surprising to see them go that route.

Most positions like wideout and others will be dictated on who leaves and who doesn’t.

My point is to not expect a bunch of movement early."

 

[TrippieRedd]

No movement early, huh

Guess I’ll check back in after playoffs.

Thompson seems like he'll be hard to get out of Michigan but we'll see if he indeed visits

Josh Thompson is our focus right now, that's not to say things will change once the playoffs end. You might see more jump in once the season is over.

That is right where we need to be focused. The fact that we are going to take few from the portal and are being selective is a very good sign as to where our roster is right now

Hwat??

 

[FBtime]

Hwat??

Should not be surprised by that. Lebby was his OC at Oklahoma

 

[TrippieRedd]

Edit: Don’t want…OKST fans said he gives up on plays a lot and is very lazy.

 

[Carp]

Yeah that isn't surprising on Arnold. I still don't expect much from Arnold unless they run an offense similar to SoCar or GT that primarily utilizes his legs. His processing ability and his ability to read is defense is just very poor right now.

 

[Smokey'sHandler]

Not having to be very active in the portal is an EXTREMELY Good Thing!

 

[Jackcrevol]

Hwat??

Jackson Arnold all,

'Hey Dad, Coach tode me i'd the starter cause I can throde the ball good.'

'that's plum wild aint it.'

I think that #2 is a combination of both. Thornton was the #5 option at Oregon for a reason and behind 3 others that were in his same class. He was a physical freak but not a good receiver. We had to develop him, him learn the system and try to get the most out of him in a short amount of time. Brazzell was recruited as a DB at Tulane and only played receiver one year there. Once again we had to develop, him learn the system and learn how to perform at the SEC level. Fortunately we get him for 3 years.

Several with disagree with me but Thornton was a horrible portal pick up. We have invested so many reps and development in a guy where Nimrod/Webb/Leacock/Matthews developments have suffered for minimal production.

Thornton is our best wide receiver on this year's roster by a significant margin.

 

[Vol423]

Hope we don't have any injuries against OSU!

We always have Boo Carter on the roster if we get into a pinch.

 

[Vol423]

I think we’re starting to understand why Staley decided not to enter the portal.

I'm trying to figure out why anyone would have thought he would enter the portal.
