I think this should tell everyone the likelihood of Von being back.

Maybe, maybe not. It seems like Butch is indeed waiting on whether or not Von gets charged. Otherwise, wouldn't he have already dismissed him?

Seems like VP could be left hanging in limbo for months while everyone waits for the KPD to get around to this case.

Titans have to take Gregory right???

He's got to be the pick. We need some help on the OL, WR, and RB but they're all deep and can be had, with comparable talent and value, in rounds 3-5, IMO.

That being said, I also wouldn't mind seeing what could be had if they try to trade down...just out of curiosity, though. Gregory is my guy at 33. He's arguably a top 10 talent in this draft.

When I had my business in Brentwood, I ran into him at Sonic.

Dude had gained a ton of weight. Could play Tackle

Wow. That's...wow.


For Titans fans, one name to keep an eye out for, if they don't go WR in 2 or 3, is Trey McBride. JMO...

Regarding that JUCO WR...

Pitt was his first FBS scholarship offer. Yesterday, a reporter for The Fresno Bee tweeted that he was indeed headed to Pitt.

But Rafael Araujo-Lopes replied to the tweet and said to take it down and that the reporter had false info.

If this is between only UT and Pitt and A) Coach Z just visited him and B) He hasn't committed to Pitt yet, I think we have a good shot here.

Also, even though he plays JUCO ball in CA, he's originally from Central Florida.

I imagine that's what happened. If I was a potential recruit, a chance to play in the SEC trumps Pitt any day.

Especially with him originally being from Florida. Closer proximity and I imagine he's pretty familiar with the SEC.

This could be a huge pickup if it works out.

Stable! Surgery now on Monday...hopefully.

Thank you, by the way. Prayer had completely sustained her mother and me!

Awesome! Monday will be a good day!

Here is you a little bit of a feel-good story, that shows the power of prayer and how with God anything is possible. An older lady in our church was diagnosed a few months ago with an 8 cm mass in her liver. The type of cancer it came back as is very aggressive, and usually doesn't respond to treatment that well. The doctors didn't give her a really good chance for an adequate response. She had a MRI on Wednesday, and not only has the mass shrunk to 4 cm, but the rest of the mass is completely dead. They were able to shine a light through it. They said it is basically a tree without any leaves… Hollow. She has been lifted up in prayer for months and months by so many...IMO, there's no other explanation that she has responded this well to treatment, except It was in God's will and prayers were answered in the affirmative.

If it doesn't work out at TN, he can transfer to Pitt... Like all of our transfers :)

Hope Dallas sticks with the game plan and drafts a DT here at #60. However, if Landon Collins is still on the board there, not sure I could pass that up. High value pick.

-Goldman
-Michael Bennett
-Mario Edwards Jr

Could also understand addressing the need at RB. DeMarco is gone. Randle just got cleared of charges, but what does his future hold... And Dunbar got re-signed, but let's be honest there. Duke Johnson, Coleman, Langford, Yeldon.

plus with Vic and Ryan leaving that would put the numbers back closer to what they were if Von and Rafael are with us. The kid is small but man he put up some numbers this season 74 catches, 17 TDs, 1200 yards.

I think with or without Von it woud be a good pickup. So i dont think it all hinges on Von.

Nothing against the kid, but would any of you guys take him over Joc Bruce? Vincent Perry? I think RDA is better in the short term as well. We aren't so thin at WR that we need to take an emergency guy who IMO would be fighting an uphill battle to ever get into our rotation.

Slot WR is a need for us, but it can wait until the 2016 class.

right now you need a WR or two to be honest. This kid will actually get alot of offers if he stays his whole two yrs out there. this kid and RDA would be huge for depth.

I think he's a take. He put up really good JUCO numbers and it sounds like Pitt and Tennessee are the first two schools to find out about him. Otherwise he completely flew under the radar this past recruiting cycle.

If we have an injury or two to the WR corps this season, we would be thankful to have a guy like him providing depth.

plus if this kid stayed another yr at juco he would blowup with offers. Plus the slot position is more about precision and quickness than it is pure top end speed. I think it would be a solid pickup.

the RB from his league that led their JUCO league in rushing signed with Louisville. This kid was like second in the league in TDs, first with 122YPG and 2nd w/ 74 catches. He was just a freshman so he would have 3 yrs.

That's awesome. We've had a few miracles this week. I promise.

One that made me think I was crazy...

God is in control and he's working through my daughter and this entire situation.

Is Mark Helfrich a good coach or is he just riding Kelly's coattails and the beneficiary of inheriting Marcus Mariota as his QB?
Click to expand...

I think Helfrich is good at implementing Kelly's system but IDK that he's a great coach. I see Oregon regressing some honestly and IDK that I would say that's as much a knock against Helfrich as it is a compliment for how good Kelly is.
