What is your evaluation of him? How does he get in and out of breaks? What competition did you see him play? Is he explosive or not? Does he track the ball well? Is he better in zone or man?
That had nothing to do with the question.We always like to say “coaches know more”
No major offers, so I’m going with the majority of high level coaches on this one.
Pass.
That had nothing to do with the question.
But since you brought it up, how many high majors offered Inky Johnson? He was an All SEC level CB before his horrific injury. Did you trust them?
A) No. You didn’t. I asked for specific evaluations of certain skill sets to be judged by one’s OWN eyes and understanding of those skill sets, not a vague reference to “other coaches.” But you knew that and are simply playing obtuse to avoid conceding the point.“What is your evaluation of him”
I gave it to you…well I gave you the majority of coaches evaluations. So yes, it quite literally had everything to do with your question.

I don't need to "strengthen" my argument. No one has issued an argument of the actual issue. Because no one has provided a good reason this kid can or can't be a good player. It's stupid for people who are ignorant of his skillset to say that people who a) have evaluated his skillset and b) are ACTUALLY qualified and paid millions to evaluate players are wrong (or right) to pursue him.Citing an anomaly doesn’t strengthen your argument. But props for citing Inky instead of the standard go to Cedric Tillman.
Travis and his brother if he didn't pass away would have been pro too. The family is super talented. If this kid was raised by Travis I would have said 100% sign the kid up.I don't need to "strengthen" my argument. No one has issued an argument of the actual issue.

I'm just being realistic enough to say that I don't know. He may be Tillman or Inky. He may be a bench warmer. But no one on this thread knows that either. And they're sure as hell not more qualified to determine whether Tennessee should take him or not than our coaches are. It's moronic to think so.
And by the way....the Sensabaughs (kid's dad and uncle) were both underrecruited and Tennessee didn't offer, despite both being East Tennessee recruits. Both played in the NFL. At least one has a Super Bowl ring. Is that a better comp than Tillman or Inky?
It’s not hypocrisy. Why can’t you look at the offer list and say it for what it is? It’s weak. Now there is always a chance this guy could wind up being a really good player. But the question remains, why hasn’t he gotten any big time offers?Irony is people who can't admit what they don't know telling the only one admitting what he doesn't know that they're trying to help him understand what he doesn't know.
Hypocrisy is probably a better word for it, though.
Nope. Never said that.Exceptions prove the rule now?
I’m willing to trust our coaches if they decide that their senior season eval (especially for a kid who’s had a massive growth spurt and was injured last season) warrants an offer.Be honest with yourself…
Do you want the kids Vanderbilt, Illinois, and WVU are fighting over? Or do you want the kids consistent top 25 teams are after?
