More news (not good) Jermod McCoy tore his ACL in offseason training. Has already had surgery. Projected back at the start of 2025 season. Per AP.

Guess we know why we are bringing in a corner to visit now.

Yuck. Hate that. Now I'm glad that corner is coming in for a visit. Need another quality player there.

Stop a joke?

Best it happen now but if he is back next year he’ll be nowhere near 100%

At the beginning of the season he won’t be 100%. But now a days it is very common for players to be good 9 months off of acl surgery. Hopefully he’s good by the time the Georgia game comes around

They can usually play, but it comes down to a mental thing whether or not they trust it fully. I’ve seen it plenty of times where it’s the second year coming off surgery that they get back to their full self. Saquon Barkley was a good example, but there have been many others

 

[TrippieRedd]

Redshirt McCoy. There is zero reason to play him next season and risk making it worse.

I think we’re fine in the secondary.

I mean, we could go after another DB, but you could do something like
DB: Boo or Jalen
DB: Gibson
Safety: Thomas
Safety: Turrentine
Star: Breedlove

Almost 900 yards rushing and 20 receptions isn’t anything to scoff at. I’d welcome Star Thomas if he came.

I just don't see him being back by the start of the season. An ACL tear is a gruesome injury and takes a long time to fully heal, and that's not to mention to get back to 100%. I hope I'm wrong, but I'd be surprised. My prayers are with him.

 

[marcusluvsvols]

He was looking for the biggest bag. Hope it works out for him.

Wonder if Drinkajizz is gonna try to hump his leg or get a piggyback ride? It worked out SO well last time Misery had a bigshot Dline player...

If you had other options, who would ever choose to go live in Columbia, Missouri? The same applies to Starkville MS and will always hurt them in recruiting.

I’ve heard a lot of talk of Farooq at Safety

 

[Stickseller]

Ohio State's NIL must not have the $$$ to compete with the big programs like Missouri. This is a fail on the part of their staff. They aren't serious about winning IMO.
*Edit* They just got stuffed in a locker by Drinkwitz.

Drink plays chess. Not checkers

 

[barrylee]

Smh Humphrey is right there lol

Thomas had 12 for 25 against Miami

You’re so predictable.

 

[TrippieRedd]

so predictable.

nice

Truuuue. Forgot about him

Takes 6 to 12 months to fully heal. Usually for athletes like him, it’s on the lower side. I was 19 when I first tore mine and I was playing basketball again after four months against the doctors orders because I was so addicted.

Who is Breedlove?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Who is Breedlove?

Isn’t thst the kids last name we’re targeting from ASU?

 

[Orange_Crush]

and... @Orangeblood75 becomes elite insider immediately after post about potential db in Breedlove right before Fong puts out the story!!!

He just has faster internet than the rest of us.

REPORT: Tim Banks, Tennessee finalizing contract extension

The Vols' fourth-year defensive coordinator's current contract was up in January.

t.co

Supposed to be a 2 year extension from what I've gathered.

This is so on topic and Timely.

So glad Banks isn’t going into portal.

Oh yea, forgot the name already

 

[AngryButchJones]

Hate it for Jermod. Guess he feasibly could be back by the start of the season because that would be 8-9 months of recovery, but I would doubt he would be like he was in 2024.

Definitely need someone like Breedlove to be added to the room if possible.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Oh yea, forgot the name already

Don’t feel bad, I thought all the kids that committed to new schools in the portal were already signed, but apparently not.

Who is Breedlove?

Kyndrich Breedlove. He transferred from Purdue to Arizona State but has a visit scheduled with us tomorrow I believe. We are trying the flip him. He plays DB. Replacement/insurance for Jermod McCoy imo.
