'22 TN DT Walter Nolen (Ole Miss)

[swampfoxfan]

Just remember the Georgia and Florida 3 stars we get are equal to or better than Tennessee 4 stars I promise.

Bull patties

No not bull patties.

Would of Beaten Pitt if Hooker doesn’t fumble or throw the interception.

Yes we got screwed by the refs on that 4th down where Hooker undisputedly made the line to gain, but saying that we would of beaten Pitt with Hooker is false, since he did play and had two critical turnovers.

We would have easily beaten Pitt if we had even decent LBs who could stop a QB.

 

[T2P_Priceless]

I give it about 40% chance that he ends up with us. But that's just a feel, so we'll have to see

Someone mentioned that Basilio said there’s some boosters getting some big NIL deals together. I think that will be the deciding factor for him. I could be wrong but I think it’s about the $$$ for his family

I’ve unfortunately lived in Georgia the last couple years for work (gross I know). But watching some of these games, these mid level squads would wipe the floor with the top of our state Maryville Oakland etc. Its the high school equivalent of SEC vs PAC-12

 

[Jackcrevol]

he already gone.

He gone.

cant be any more gone than he is.

Always has been about the money, but A&M dropped off a truckload as well. Maybe the A&M DL coach goes to Penn State DC position and it moves the needle, but the bag is deciding the destination.

What athletic QB did we stop? They all ran on us extending drives. The better teams just out played us to the end, because of the inability and depth of course. I agree...but man did we play some really good QBs this year. I don’t think we got lucky this year with our schedule. Not when you have to play these kind of offenses with these athletic QBs. In all my years I can’t think of one year with so many crazy leg gifted QBs.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Hooker entered the Pitt game down 17-13 midway thru the 2nd quarter following a Joe Milton sack and fumble in which Milton was injured. Hooker led a Tennessee team thru the rest of that game that was outscored 24-21. He made some mistakes, and it is impossible to say whether Tennessee would have had enough additional success with Hooker thru the first 1.5 quarters to change the outcome, but he was immediately an upgrade over Milton even with the 2 TOs.

At the end of the day, our defense gave up 27 2nd Q points, which certainly didn't help, and the majority came on drives of...
11 plays/92 yds
5 plays/75 yds
9 plays/75 yds

If we start the season with him as the starter, we win that game by at least a couple of TDs. Especially with how the game started. If he isn't tossed in to the middle of the game with no time to get ready I think we're looking at a totally different game, maybe even a runaway. JMO.

Ole piss as well

Now for big Walter….

Nolen will play for the state championship later tonight and then head to campus on Saturday morning. Tennessee is very much still in the mix here but let’s face it we all know this thing is going to really get wild. Visiting this weekend means he could end up somewhere else next weekend like a return trip to College Station. We are most interested to see if he actually signs in the early signing period. We don’t believe that is a slam dunk at this point.

You BO train and bignewt have coffee together? I did forget that a 6'2" 220 lb linebacker from GA is a lot bigger than a 6'2" 220 lb linebacker from Tn.

At this point , I just don't care anymore.

Everybody knows that a pound if lead us heavier than a pound of feathers.

If a Ga 3 star is better than a Tennessee 4 star, it is because there are no objective standards used in rating players. Which is why watching stars is perilous. You can say stars are accurate or you can say they aren't. But you can't say they are accurate then turn around and say the state a player comes from trumps the star rating.

I think it is about the $$$ for all the top kids. It has to be, I mean they have to know there is no sure path to the NFL, so this is probably their best chance, along with if/when they decide to transfer, to help take care of their family...of course this shouldn't matter so much for the few kids that are from well off families.

Getting ready to get a first-hand look at this guy tonight at the state championship game.

How the world has changed. Is this serious talk these recruits think it’s about an NFL contract or NIL deal? Is there no more building them into educated men with broad opportunity when they leave the university?

Meaningful NIL deals will be few and NFL contracts?… well you know.

Its a bell curve. 4% may get good NIL deals, 4% may get a shot at the League, the rest better take the opportunities afforded them by their scholly.

Big Walter gets the direct snap and just hammers it into the endzone..

 

[InVOLuntary]

Walter down with a knee injury but appears to be OK.

 

[Pridedad]

They had him listed as a WR. I'm sure it was a typo in the paperwork.

Also looks like he has changed numbers.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Walter has been out for the last few plays and the other team has gashed Powell right up the middle each time. Walter influences big time.

Was just getting ready to post that. He limped off without assistance.

Hey now. That “other team” is Page and the sidelines I am on. Lol.

He's back in to start the 2nd qtr.
