Who are our starting safeties for next year?

JoThomas/Slaughter and JaThomas/Turrentine

Would we simply be the best bait to get Tate what he wants at OSU? We do seem to get played in that angle sometimes. Good we are in it at all, but kind of illusionary at the same time for fans.

Posts like this are why so many have you on ignore

I had to unhide to reaffirm. Lol

Innis would make a lot of sense to me. Y guy with upside and less crazy money baggage.

All true. However how do you know Hartline wouldn’t bring his own wrinkles to Heupels system? Remember Golesh came from Iowa State. They didn’t run tempo. And he learned under Heupel. Hartline has been under some really good OCs. I mean do not think he couldn’t adapt to Heupels system? If not, why?

Do you honestly think Hartline could be any worse than Halze? Also factor in that Hartline would easily be our best recruiter from day 1. Sorry but I see zero negatives in trying to get someone like Hartline.

I would love Hartline. I didn’t realize that was the conversation

I don’t see it happening.

Who was our splash player we are pursuing then?

It’s not a conversation, it’s a pipe dream. I’ll let you decide what’s in that pipe.

Means getting big time playmakers consistently. Need them to start doing that at a higher level outside of QB and EDGE moving forward. I'm not the biggest fan of the 'well we lost to the team that won it all' comments, bc those types of talents are also on Georgia, Oregon, Texas, etc year in and year out, so it's not like Vols were just a lock to win a game if they played someone else. Hopefully, they use this as a learning moment to elevate the program (in a couple ways). If they just keep doing the same thing moving forward, will be in this same position every year. 2026 class will be vital IMO. Don't think it's great in-state either so they really have to go out there and win some battles. Or they can keep going for the guys that we'll see people saying 'well that's not a big loss' in 2-3 years

Amen. 1,000 times Amen.

Probably will never see an answer to this.

Some saying Farooq makes the jump this season. I still think about that hit in the NC State game

Heupel isn't going to replace Halzle with Hartline, and Hartline isn't leaving his alma mater for a lateral move. You can speculate all you want about how great it would be, but it's not something that is going to actually happen. You're talking to air.

Oh I know but sometimes it’s fun to dream. Oh and stop using conjecture old man.

There isn’t one

Gonna have some excuse as to why it didn’t happen

Good grief . No wonder anyone with slick of inside info runs from here. Some of you are just pathetic.
