'21 TN ATH Andre Turrentine (Tennessee signee - Transfer from Ohio St.)

[jvols1999]

he was so physical he rode the bench

He was a non-EE true freshman at an elite program who played in 4 games on STs. Nailed it.

Kewl. By the looks of it, we need guys that can start in our secondary.

Remember Tank is really physical as well.

true freshman...... if he was a 3rd or 4th yr player or something i would agree with you.

Guys who are competing for a starting spot as a redshirt freshman at OSU are probably good enough to start here.

exactly.

I just feel like we are at a point where we need guys to come in and play, especially in the secondary.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Having strength in numbers and versatility in your DB room is a very good thing esp with how we play.

I don't disagree. I think there's a good chance he replaces one of our safeties or nickel. I'm also hopeful that we aren't done in the secondary.

Even OSU does that black stripe crap that Butch did!?

Way before! Urban did it at Florida.

Could it be? One of those transfers? Haven't seen many of those round these parts.

The start of the summer transfers we have been waiting for.

Yep, May will be fun.

Go Vols!

I wonder where he projects in our system. His speed was not an asset. My read is that he is a more talented version of McCollough. Any experts know where he fits?

Curious what you mean by “speed was not an asset.” If he’s a hybrid CB/S, that would tell me he has plenty of speed to play Safety, but maybe not the fastest CB.

I’m glad we didn’t shutter the entire program as highly encouraged.

There's still time. It's only April.

Some people here piss me off. They complain about the players we have, but then complain about a potential transfer that didn't start at an elite school as a true freshman. I guess they forget that Bama's best WR last season was a bench rider at Ohio St. the previous year..

To be fair it took Banks forever to learn to play the right way. He’s definitely a talent to have out there but outside of that Tennessee should welcome all the talent that wants to come at the position. Tennessee just simply doesent have the caliber of players needed to compete week after week at this level.

It's really just people having the habit to complain...

This dude would greatly improve our defense. He'd be the most talented defender. Then Banks after that.

Unless things have changed drastically from when he was recruited, he does not have anywhere near the speed to play CB. My best guess is he is a SS/Star type of player.

That was just painfully obvious. Tennessee needs high caliber guys at the positions and then we’ll see what Martinez ceiling is. If he can’t make the defense much better he may be the first man out under Hype.
