I'm not so worried about ILB. Beasley/Banks both back and apparently the team has been working Marley there (he played Safety in HS), has good size for it at 6'3" and about 200lbs.

Not to mention Mohan is a RS Fr. and ya also got Willis as a Fr. If BJM can do with Marley what he's done with Beasley/Banks then it'll be a very impressive group next year. Especially if Mitchell returns. Not to mention there are a LOT of top ILB guys in the portal right now.

I'm sure you guys will have a field day with this, but......
I'm still bummed no instant impact guy at ILB. CB we did fine. The D line added some good pieces, Charles will start next year and hopefully someone takes Flowers spot. But we are still at Banks and Beasley being the inside backers starters.

It's usually an ad blocker setting and they change. I keep having to redo mine ever so often. Like right now I can't see the tweet in your message either so I know it's time to fool with the settings. I'm not sure why but Vol Nation is more sensitive to this than other sites.

It was an add blocker that had been turned on some how. Thanks for the input fellas 👍.

We had to do that the first Christmas after we got married - those trees don't look so tall out in the dang field!

AP got a 2 for one.

Over his left shoulder is his Christmas tree. Over his right should appears to be the top that is now used for a mini desk top Christmas tree. Smart man.

So is Napier just planning on signing 20 transfers? Lol! And a big…

to all the signees today!! Our program got a lot better today with a huge ESD success! I’m pumped about the direction of our program. Let’s fill some immediate needs with great transfers, annihilate Purdue in the bowl game, then get ready in the off-season to win 9-10 games next year.

It is incredible. Yesterday we weren’t getting West, AU was pursuing Williams, and Pearce was waiting till February. Wow what a close

This is a great feeling!!! VN is the place to be right now. Everybody in here is fired up!!! I cant even think about if we win 9 or 10 next year, what our class may look like, makes me want to run through a wall.

QUESTION:

Of the new signees:

Who do you think makes the quickest impact? Sampson



Who do you think makes the biggest impact? Pearce
Click to expand...
Quickest: Squirrel White or Kaleb Webb
Biggest: Tayven Jackson, if he becomes what we all hope. But, yes, Pearce will make a massive impact, as well.

Very pleased with how we closed today, but LB is a HUGE concern for me going forward. RPO offenses have changed the position, but we have essentially 1 proven SEC level LB on the roster in Banks. Beasley was not impressive and while I thought Mohan flashed on teams this year, Willis and Marley are complete unknowns. Imagine if Banks got hurt?

I recall @griddie , who knows football in NC, saying he didn't see Marley on defense as he wasn't a downhill player.

Also, unless a LB is producing at a high level and transferring up, I'm not that interested. Otherwise they likely were beat out and looking for an easier path to PT.

I just takes one quality ILB from the portal to upgrade the position go with Banks, Beasley and the rest who will each have another off season in the S&C, SP and camp to get ready in the same system with the same coaches. We will be fine. Depth will begin to become our friend next season. Our guys get to practice against our own great uptempo scheme.

Addition by subtraction at QB as well. Corral and Picket are gone from the schedule. Both killed us in winnable games.

Well, honestly, that is impressive that Napier managed to sign the #1 S after just being on the job 9 days. Hopefully this isn’t a sign of things to come.

He’s only signed like 9? I mean their class is going to skyrocket simply signing another 10 3 stars if need be. I want to laugh, I do.
