12th pick Shane Ray (stock has fallen due to some injury)

19th pick Todd Gurley

2nd pick of 2nd round Bryce Petty

I like it

Not an injury on Shane Ray; he was busted for having weed in his car.

 

[Aesius]

Yep. That is why I still like him. He can ball no doubt just like many others the other areas off the field were smokey.

He was awesome, no doubt. Still wish I could peer into the alternate universe where he was never kicked off the team in 2012 and see that offense in action.

19th pick Todd Gurley

2nd pick of 2nd round Bryce Petty

I like it

Bryce Petty is not a second round pick, IMO. not a third or fourth either.

 

[YorkVol]

Current WR in the NFL:

Clemson- Sammy Watkins, DeAndre Hopkins, Jacoby Ford, Martavis Bryant, Jaron Brown.

Tennessee- Justin Hunter, Denarius Moore, Cordarelle Patterson, Robert Meachem.

I would include a couple of pass catching tight ends...

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Was just told by someone who would definitely know

Tennessee Already has a kicker in the 2017 class.

Fify

I can be confident about it! :salute:

Has an injured toe causing concern as well. His camp is downplaying it before draft

 

[triadvolfan]

Here's my guess:

UT goes 7-5 in 2012 and then Rogers, Hunter, Bray, and Patterson turn pro with Bray breaking Manning's single season TD and yardage records.

CDD is retained as head coach for an extra year but is fired when he wins 3 games in 2013.

UT hires James Franklin after getting turned down by Bobby Petrino.

UT football is systematically destroyed by Franklin in the ensuing years.

After you get done watching the 2012 offense come back here quick because the rest of that universe will suck.

Absolutely not.

NFL Live was talking about him "possibly" being a good-backup.

 

[ob79]

Great news! Prayers that it all goes very well. Update us when she's out and in the clear.

Good luck tomorrow! I'll be praying for everyone!

Good luck tomorrow! I'll be praying for everyone!

Thank you all!

Sutton is progressing quite well. He hasn't had a seizure in over 24 hours. He is not having to have oxygen fed to him to help him with breathing. They took the 2 food and nutrient lines out of his stomach. He only has a pick line going through his left arm towards his chest. We actually were just able to give him his first milk feeding since Monday. Things are definitely looking up. Yet, they still don't know what has caused all this but they are doing everything possible to find out. So, keep praying guys because it is definitely helping. My wife and I really appreciate all the prayers and comments!!

That's awesome man. Many prayers that things continue to go well!

Lol. Yep. I shudder at the thought of Dooley coaching the 2013 team. Good grief. 3-9 might be a generous estimate.

Da'Rick's dismissal might have been the catalyst that ultimately led us to Butch Jones.

Thanks, David Ricky!

 

[UTProf]

WRU goes way beyond current pros or college. Also, we not only started it but Climpson looks sad in comparison to us.

Oh and sinus infections blow. Before it was my knee that gave me issues every now and then but now my equilibrium sucks for most of the day. Although there's some relief. That on top of a meniscus tear that occasionally decides I've gone too far. /rant

 

[Vols4us]

OB and SKV - y'all got our prayers and support. Take care of your families and trust the Lord and the professionals to handle the healing. Hang in there.

I get the Franklin hate, but he can coach. What he did at Vandy is a minor miracle for them. I still don't think they appreciated what he meant to their program. Honestly, I'm glad he's gone.

Eh he won with Bobby Johnson's players and rode Jordan Matthews jock to some winning seasons. He's a mediocre coach that will continue to barely reach bowl games in the lame Big Ten.

12th pick Shane Ray (stock has fallen due to some injury)

19th pick Todd Gurley

2nd pick of 2nd round Bryce Petty

I like it

Gurley won't get past jets at 6 is the word. Falcons and Dolphins have looked into ways to get in front of them for Gurley but doubtful

What about Da'Rick?

Also, that RB for Arizona from Clemson is practically a WR

 

[PassedOutAwake]

12th pick Shane Ray (stock has fallen due to some injury)

19th pick Todd Gurley

2nd pick of 2nd round Bryce Petty

I like it

He was also busted for possession of marijuana yesterday

 

[85SugarVol]

Bought his way out of games, and stacked his OOC with extra puffy cupcakes

 

[Catbone]

He was also busted for possession of marijuana yesterday

What a coincidence! Jk

 

[volatil]

Because of Jr's wardrobe, all the coaches came up to him today and said "Azzani was looking for you yesterday".

Kid has some orange

Feldman says that when Butch took over, the Vols had the worst collection of skill players he has EVER seen in any power 5 team. Crazy the amount of roster flip we have had

Dooley tried to destroy the program.

 

[VolFromNashville]

12 oz is a measure of volume in this case, not weight. Sorry to be so pedantic, but that stuff matters to engineers like myself.

Made me think of this:

Looking back, it's kinda ridiculous that we thought the Vols would be good in the SEC during Dooley's tenure.

It would be like if we replaced 19 of our 22 starters with MAC talent and wiped out all quality depth but still had Dobbs, JRM, and North. Those are 3 great players but they can't win games in the SEC by themselves.

We convinced ourselves that a handful of good players was enough to beat teams that had good to great talent from top to bottom and vastly superior coaching.

Not really. He walked into the best talent candy had ever had, and a ton of that talent was redshirt talent. He recruited only a couple SEC players while he was there. Not to mention historic lows for ut uf and uga. He's not a bad coach, but far far worse than his record at vandy indicates. He wouldn't have done much better than mason last year with the poor roster he left.
