[OH-Vol]

Did CBJ say "AJ show me that 5.5 speed" "Maggitt is faster than you" LOL!!!

Ainge said Riley was the most consistent person on the field today. Not just QBs, but of all players.

Good for him. Hope he or one of the others can continue to display that consistency and step up to lead the offense.

 

[Wezcoast]

Dunno if it's depth of field or what , but Crowder just looks like a monster out there. He's a big 6'2 anyway.

 

[VAVolsFan2009]

With all the recruits on campus for Junior Day, Day 2 must have been a great show for them. I wonder how many came away wanting to be a part of the Vol future.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Oh most definitely.

Nowhutmsayin?

 

[gunner]

Just wait

he's gonna do that in a game this year.


And think about how much Sutton will improve going up against that cat daily.

Expectations for this season just raised a notch.

I hope he does it more than once!

Look at the 1:30 mark in the OP video. Isn't that AJ last out of the blocks and behind everyone?

 

[General Jack]

Oh most definitely.

Ha, gold.

Just catching up. Here's the ut release from practice this morning.

And that does not include others that will be joining this summer

Was just about to post this. Think about who we have to look forward to seeing in fall camp.... TKJr, McDowell, Wharton, Berry twins, Bates, Scott, Bryant, Weatherd, Hendrix, Barnett, Mosley, Sawyers, Robertson, Gaulden, Henderson, Paulk and Medley. First 2 days have been great with the new faces.... we got many more coming!!

Pearson has created as much buzz as any of Tennessee's 14 January early enrollees, and it's clear that the Vols' coaches like what he brings to the table. The 6-foot-3, 185-pounder from Virginia was singled out by Jones after Friday's practice for taking a short throw and turning it into a big play. He's working in the slot with Pig Howard (personal) out for spring, and so far he's made some noise.

In the first rep, rising sophomore cornerback Malik Foreman, who's pushing for a potential starting spot, broke up a slant pass in the end zone intended for Josh Malone, the five-star freshman receiver.

Junior college transfer receiver Von Pearson pulled one back for the offense with an excellent grab on a fade route in the back corner of the end zone against Cam Sutton, the Vols' All-SEC freshman corner from 2013.

Rising senior Justin Coleman won it for the defense, though, by snagging a 50-50 ball from Marquez North on a fade pattern.

* Receivers coach Zach Azzanni clearly likes junior college newcomer Von Pearson a lot. Pearson looks more polished than the younger players and is a vocal and enthusiastic practice player.

* Freshman receiver Josh Malone has passed the look test, although Jones got on him during one drill for sloppy mechanics.

During some pass skeleton work, Ethan Wolf continued to impress

Defensively, Jakob Johnson continues to show physically very well while he's catching up from a mental and playbook standpoint. But Johnson already is carving potential roles in special teams.

LaDarrell McNeil was getting reps with the ones today after Lemond Johnson opened there on Friday.

Sutton had a nice interception during an early drill on Saturday (see the video here), but he was burned by Pearson during a portion of Friday’s practice closed to the media. A highlight of Pearson’s touchdown played on a loop in the Tennessee football facility on Saturday.

Vereen on not being highly recruited.

“Every day, every day I go out there I think about that. Or if I’m having a day where I’m not as motivated, I go back and look at that and think about how I felt at that time. All the anger and passion I felt,” Vereen told InsideTennessee. “I just take that everyday and it drives me toward what I need to do out there. I want to prove those people wrong.”

Vereen on Owen Williams

Vereen said Williams is “clearly” the strongest defensive linemen on roster, adding that the 6-foot-2, 289-pounder can rep 455 pounds on the bench press and rattle off 655 pounds squats like “it’s nothing.”

Well, that explains what I was going to write. Which was, basically, that Worley threw the best pass. Nice to see the DBs competing because they are good and the receivers are good, and not just because they are going up against UT WRs.

Marquez North on Riyahd Jones

“I really love Riyahd. He’s got the heart of lion. To go through what he went through and to still have that mental toughness to come compete – Riyahd is going to be good.”"

 

[armchair]

I still say croom should be a te and not a wideout. He's got a TE's body...we'll see what he does outside this year...
