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

[BigOrangeTrain]

Remember when OSU fans thought Joe Burrow was no big loss? Fans can be wrong.

I get it. But how do we know this guy is gonna come here and be this huge addition? We don’t. He is an unknown.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Opinions. Just like mine.

This describes basically every single recruit and transfer. I guess we shouldn't get excited about any of them.

Wrong. We went hard after Isiah Neyor. Why? Because he had documented production. Are you saying there is no difference between Neyor and a WR that has spent a year at Bama but never played? Sorry there is a big difference.

I hope the dude works out.

I don't know if some people realize why it's so important to get transfers with multiple years of eligibility. Last years class is pretty much a wash at this point. We have 9 players left from the '21 class. That has to be offset somehow. Getting a 4* at a position of need, with 4 years of eligibility sounds like a big win to me.

Plus some game experience and an entire year at one of the top programs in the country.

It's obviously a very solid get.

Meaning, you would you have taken Isiah Neyor over Jameson Williams...a terrible move.

One of your dumber hills, Train.

[SweetasSoda]

He has four years of eligibility correct? It's basically signing a four star out of high school with a year of college ball under his belt in a position of need. It's a nice get.

How anyone can argue with this logic is beyond me. Obviously just looking for something to moan about.

Yeah that’s exactly what I meant

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

No one is saying that. But even Callahan said he could be in strong contention for a starting spot.

Take away all the rest of the noise - isn't someone capable of starting, or at least being a strong backup (here), exactly what we needed? Those are exactly the types we've been honing in on with the portal.

You're hardly going to find any "can't miss players" this late in the portal cycle, but this is the next best thing. Pruitt's penalties have left us in this position. Doing with it the best we can.

I hope he becomes a solid player for us.

So is every HS recruit. . NOBODY knows how ANY HS recruit turn out. It's all a crap shoot. It really is ok to be excited about new, highly ranked players though.

He really is the most clueless poster on here. The same guy that had a man crush on JG and swore every year was gonna be his breakout season. We saw how that turned out. Dude is cluelss AF.

 

[SugarCC]

Yeah that’s exactly what I meant

It's EXACTLY what you said. Now, if you say things you do not mean, ok.

 

[butchna]

Expound for the confused. This is a highly rated prospect at a position of need with four years of eligibility. How is this NOT a good addition?

C'mon now....... that is just plain not true. Joe Burrow was, and still is loved by OSU fans. Nary one word said from any posters on their MB's negatively. He just happened to break his hand in his battle to win the starting QB spot to a QB who broke all BIG10 records, the late Dwayne Haskins.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Don't understand choosing this hill to die on. It's a good get (and some opinions are better than others).

There would still be no guarantee.

 

[TitanicVolz]

Wait are we really bitching and moaning over getting a 4* safety/db for the next 3 years??

Somehow that seems to be the case for some people.

Same few predictable nags. No one with sense.

 

[atilla]

I believe he will be a productive safety here as he was one of the best players in OSU's spring game. Dude just couldn't crack the 2-deep rotation as they have so many highly talented players. Really like this kid and he has 4-years.

No even better, next 4 years as he red I shirted last season

 

[Dudleys87]

One day we’ll look back on this and know he is the steal of this transfer class.

Love the Hugh Laurie in Black Adder avi.
