Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Weezer]

Whoever replaces Kennedy will be an upgrade. Can see Spraggins mitigating the loss of Trey somewhat. Just a mean natural mauler! We’ve spent most of the time after Morris and Wright’s signing speculating on who could play instead.

So who's gonna play tackle for us? If Wanya and Wright both transfer, we're screwed. Hell, I think we're screwed with just one of them transferring.

 

[BruinVol]

If we have Chaney at Oc we have had lost to transfer two projected starters transfer off next years team.

Pope and Morris

none of the other losses were projected to start

 

[volsfan_17]

The portal should allow us to plug a couple spots in regards to depth at very least. And who knows, maybe Wanye leaving will give pause to Morris' decision? Too many moving parts, which has been the issue all along. We just need this roller coaster to stop so we can collect our bearings and move forward. Hiring coaches (assistant and maybe HC), and solidifying the roster as best we can for the 2021 season.

 

[volbeast33]

Shrout and Chandler are losses. Period

They were depth..... nothing more..... HT transfers and that will be a big loss.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I thought we would see these guys get drafted with UT next to their names, but damn

Darnell, Wanya, and whoever else transfers is going to be a kick in the nuts when they get drafted one day. Needed that momentum.

[snowvols]

Are we not going to fill the roster with transfers ourselves?

I'm sure Pruitt has tried. Classes start next week, it doesn't look likely that we are going to land many and if we do there aren't a lot of big names out there.

 

[Smokey123]

So not 6 transferring like the op that has done some serious exaggerating lately said

Lol
2 QBs that weren’t starters at the end
1 RB that didn’t start
1 wr that lost his job to a freshmen

Morris wasn’t even a starter much either


Right now 2 offensive players have left that hurt

Morris and Pope

Morris started 12 games in 19’ and 7 in 2020

 

[90 Vol]

Sounds like a fire sale.

It is but think about this.

1. If everyone is transferring because Pruitt is leaving, it's positive because well...he's leaving.
2. If everyone is leaving because Pruitt is staying, it's a major indictment of the current staff. Also, disastrous for the Pruitt sac swingers.

Chandler was top 5 in school history in all purpose yards.

 

[BruinVol]

Seems like the 3 he didn’t start was at the end of the year

Is that correct ?

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Offense:
QB: Bailey
RB: Gray/Evans
WR: Jones, Wideman, Hyatt
TE: Fant
OL: Wright, Spraggins, Mays, Mays, Johnson

Defense:
DL: Solomon, Middleton, Simmons
OLB: Eason, Joseph
ILB: Crouch, Banks (Too if he stays)
DB: Burrell, Taylor, Sham, Tank, Jackson

I’m not sure why we think Pruitt is such a great recruiter. We have no difference makers on defense if Too leaves. Offense has talent, but we run a middle school offense so that is obsolete. And our depth is not good. Again, why are we keeping him?

 

[Catbone]

Bottom line is none of it matters as long as Chaney and Pruitt run the show. It will be awful regardless

 

[BruinVol]

Chandler was top 5 in school history in all purpose yards.

And lost his job
thus why he’s leaving

 

[Ace]

Talked to a friend yesterday who’s nephew played with Darnell at Huntington and is good friends with him. Said Darnell is transferring to wvu along with the other kid that went to UNC from there. Didn’t post it bc it was 3rd hand info, but seems fitting with Wayna news.
Burn it down Pruitt, burn it all down!!

Wright and Morris should have red shirted then played. Tennessee will not compete until we can stop plugging freshmen in to play on the line of scrimmage. Very few freshmen are ready to play SEC football in the trenches

 

[tnvols72]

Perhaps you shouldn't have hinted to someone leaving if you didn't want to field questions on the matter.

They do that when they are looking for attention. They want people to asks him . The more concerning question is, is this guy a grown man and why is he playing games with kids.

 

[ob79]

Well , he was and is still basically a child. Yall need to get over that nonsense. Jmo

No one is rooting against this kid, especially if he wants to play here. We need him, but I wouldn't put it past him to play us again. That's who he is until he proves otherwise.

That's a 4-8 lineup next season.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

He certainly did, did you see the post where is PFF grades were given?

Stats say otherwise

Wanya is Morris. Wanya Morris. You're thinking of Darnell Wright. We need both.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Come on Man! You’re already backing off the original post.

No I'm not. He is thinking about transferring, and I'm pretty negative about the program right now so I think he eventually leaves. He spoke to a player from another school and was told he has a spot there and will actually be used properly. Player reached out to him. He doesn't want to leave just to leave but he questions how much development he can get while here and he just wants to do what's best for his future and the future of his family. Said he likes pruitt but thinks he makes some pretty dumb decisions.

 

[Smokey123]

Seems like the 3 he didn’t start was at the end of the year

Is that correct ?

Yes

 

[mr.checkerboards]

DJ could play...when he wasn’t serving targeting suspensions.

He was very average, most of his stats came against the 3 worst teams on the schedule. Besides being an upperclassmen and having a developed body he wasn't much.

He's going to Disney!
