I mean with one post, if it is true, just added more info than I ever have to this board. Isnt that the point? To add info and discussions?

IMO what he posted comes up short of 'info'. All he saw was an upset woman making a claim. He didn't see the accused himself, nor did he see any proof that an act indeed took place between the accused and the woman. He says that the police took statements, but he has no idea what those statements were and was not asked to give one himself.

Armed with this incomplete information, he put the man's name out in a public forum for anybody and everybody to read. Cases like this are way too sensitive to be throwing names around without proof of involvement. It was a bad decision. Like BaldBiker said, better to just let this story, if there is one, come out from the KPD or a legit trustworthy source.

Where does everyone think/hope last year's seniors will end up? Coleman/worley/Darr

Oh what a nice positive topic to potentially discuss, how nice!

I'd have to say that I think Coleman gets drafted in the 5-7 rds.

Worley will definitely get some camp invites probably make a practice squad.

Darr should also get some camp invites, could make a roster.

At this point it's just best to let that topic die and move on. If it's all true you'll hear a reputable source release the info soon enough.

I don't think there's any question Darr and Worley get invites. I'm just nervous that Coleman's limitations cost him being drafted.

He's done everything post grad to put himself in a good position. I think he will definitely get drafted, might even surprise some people with where he goes.

Couple of notes from VQ's a War Room....

-First off, need to remember Jack Jones and his family as they grieve the passing of Jack's grandfather, John C. Jones. Jack and John were very close.

-Expect more situational stuff than a full on scrimmage setting on Saturday. The staff is still trying to manage the injuries. And with the game being aired live on tv, the staff will not show much at all. They don't want to reveal too much.

-The 2 guest coaches will be Rick Barnes and Beth Alford-Sullivan, the track coach.

-Butch Jones announced last week that he's adding a new award to the Spring Collection. It will be called "The Peyton Manning Leadership award". Sounds like Dobbs will be the recipient of that award.

-As for the "Al Wilson Leadership Award", it's pretty much a given that Cam Sutton will be rewarded with it.

-Since returning last week, it sounds like Coleman Thomas has upped his play big time. Really pushing Mack Crowder.

-Season tix sales are increasing at a serious rate. Just last month in March, there were multiple thousand of new seats sold. It's being indicated that this has been the strongest year in tix sales in a decade or even longer. The sales have been so good, UT has considered dropping the "mini game deal" they've done the past couple of years.

-Daniel Bituli will be on campus. Sounds like that one is worth monitoring.

-Chidi Okonya is once again visiting. This is his 3rd visit in the last 4 weekends. One to watch for here.

-TaDarryl Marshall will be on campus. He's announcing on the 28th. Sounds like UT views him as a WR or even a DB. Georgia Tech has intrigued him with the thought of playing QB for the Yellow Jackets.

-Hunter Johnson will be back on campus. With JG now officially in the fold for the '16 class, the staff can make Johnson a big priority for the '17 class.

-FSU commit, Janarius Robinson will be on campus. It'll be his 3rd visit to Knoxville. Sounds like he's a lock to FSU, but if something ever goes wrong there, UT would be in a good place.

-B.J. Emmons will make it to Knoxville this weekend. Definitely have to like the Vol's position here, despite his verbal to UGA. Gillespie continues to work here and make Emmons a priority.

-Another top RB target is Elijah Holyfield. He won't be visiting this weekend, but look for him to visit some time in the summer. UT and AU have made strong pushes recently and they sound like the teams to beat right now.

-Speaking of RBs, the '17 class is not shying away. Trey Sirmon, Michael Carter, and Cordarrian Richardson are all expected to be on campus. Don't rule out Ty Chandler showing up either.

-Nigel Knott is another guy who could potentially show up. No confirmation from Nigel Warrior.

-With the Spring concluding Saturday, several coaches will hit the road Sunday to see prospects. Mahoney and other coaches will travel to New Jersey to visit with Jarrett and other targets. Azzanni will hit the road visit with Juco prospects. And Thig will stay instate and work on the '17 class. Butch and the staff are already putting a big emphasis on the '17 class as they look to dominate that area and make it a priority.

Please don't do away with the mini-package deals! It is a great way for some of us that cannot make all of the games to still see multiple games without paying a fortune per ticket.

I am pitching in on the front end of season tix for the first time. My dad has had four season tix since the 80s. And so I have been blessed to get to go since I was a young kid.

Since graduating college, I have started paying dad for the tix I used on the games I attended on a game-by-game basis.

This year my brother and I pitched in and paid for some of the cost on the front end. Not sure which way I like better. I have a baby due in September. So I'm not sure how many I will get to go to and if I will even be able to go to enough to make up the money I put in.

I think Coleman gets drafted. I'll say 6th round to the Panthers. Just a shot in the dark. I think Darr will get picked up as an UDFA. I'm gonna guess the Rams pick him up. And as for Worley, I read where he wasn't too interested in being a practice squad player. He has goals of getting into Grad school at UT.
