Pounds is at Ole Miss and was scheduled to come to UT today. He moved his visit back. Kiffin is trying to get him to spend the entire weekend at Ole Miss and is no doubt pressuring him to go ahead and publicly commit. UT always had a steep hill to climb on this one.

Still, Vols are likely to have two commits coming out of the weekend and will push hard for Heard.

I’d hope so. The tackle position is looking bad.

Heaven can’t help that

They might be really good

Of all positions, the OL is one of development. Skill is half the deal. They need physical maturity and strength. That takes time. I'd love to believe those youngsters have made that leap so quickly.

You know, I just found out that you are actually a Squatch species…

A Sheepsquatch. 😂

Was looking up different “monsters and mythical creatures” in the Smokeys and low and behold they have a section on you. 😎

Maybe he turned those jobs down. Sorry but you are using conjecture again.

No I’m not. I hope LA will respond. He didn’t get the jobs. It’s just fact.

Whether some want to believe it or not, some of us do get info from time to time and it’s not just one or two on here.

Since Manning played for Indy................I'm sure everyone here is rooting for the Colts.

I could care less..........but I think Indy wins.

NFL...lost the love when:

Raiders left Oakland
Peyton retired
Colin and others took the knee

Haven't watched a game since. Couldn't tell you where a single former Vol is playing or who's leading a division. Couldn't care less.

that’s where people have an issue with your position..

Here are some of the recent D/C hires:
Blake Baker LSU…. gave up more ppg than Banks each of the last two years
Zack Alley….. Oklahoma….. Jacksonville State D/C
Kevin Steele…. Alabama…. don’t think anyone really wanted him here
Tosh Lupoi….. oregon …. people wanted his recruiting but not many wanted him at D/C
Will Muschamp….. Georgia….. i don’t think many people wanted him

There has to be a better known option if you want to replace a guy that is in the top 3rd of the SEC as a D/C.

So unless you can name his replacement you're not allowed to criticize. Thanks for the rules clarification.

Which is why stats don’t always tell the whole truth. Manor could be using more players in blow outs earlier which leads to more points. How many times did our DBs play way too long? Even in the bowl game in a blow out.

I don’t think many in the coaching world would take Banks over Manor. Stats don’t always tell the story.

They all will be Sophomores, with one year of S&C and numerous practices and film study..

These guys are the most highly rated Offensive Lineman in years to come to Tennessee...they will be ready, you gotta have faith...

we gave up 28 tds..2 more than Uga. Yards are irrelevant as our offense is such high tempo, but even then only 45 more yards. Giving up 28 tds is top 15. Even then notice how the top teams are B10 heavy and faced putrid offenses.

I am still not sold on Banks but that is a very good point
