'20 TN ILB Martavius French (UT SIGNEE)

[Cosmo Kramer]

If taking French increases our chances with Thomas then its a no brainer. We know it helps with Eason.

 

[T Dog]

Kid can play. Never understood the negativity toward him.

Me either.

 

[LA Vol]

Good bet he's gone from not-a-take to now-a-take.

 

[Jackcrevol]

prob too late but lets roll

 

[TrippieRedd]

Hmm wonder if we go and try to get Marcus Henderson as well.

 

[jakez4ut]

still in contact with him might have to take him to get Eason and Omari Thomas.

Welcome to the wonderful world of we don't have a choice

What happened to the Arky fan? Or was that another thread..

Eason thread maybe?

I’m concerned that we are going to start losing some of our commits son.

Btw, AP on the VQ Podcast said if he were UT, he would amp things up with French to try and help with Omari and Eason, not that UT is actually doing it.

Just to make sure the actual quoting of AP is correct and we're not putting words in his mouth.

Let's make sure to also include that Coach Johnson has kept in constant contact.

If getting back in with this kid and taking him means getting Eason and Thomas then get him. Depth is always good to have at LB, we need it now, but the big key is getting Thomas, he will help a ton next year.

Maybe French and Eason turn into last years Gray.

 

[mrMet]

At this point we take him. TN not going to get Sewell or Smalls after this season.

Regardless we need as many backers as possible

 

[Jackcrevol]

so, are we in it or nah?

agreed, thomas would be nice.

i think they honestly like Eason. but up to this point, weren't going to take French to get him.

looks like that may have changed.

and it just can't ever hurt to get more kids out of MEmphis, long term, it could help us.

 

[mrMet]

so, are we in it or nah?

I’d hope so but idk for sure

 

[TrueVolsGBOInsider]

I thought this kid committed to Arkansas. Did he decommit or something?

no. someone saying we're recruiting him now. no merit

 

[TrueVolsGBOInsider]

@jackcrevol preciate it

 

[Jackcrevol]

@jackcrevol preciate it

Hubbs et implied we should go after him.

Wtf is smarm?

 

[Jackcrevol]

Wtf is smarm?

basically someone who is insincere or being a smartass. perhaps flippant would be better word.

He may not be fast enough to play in the middle of the field at the next level, but you don’t rack up that many tackles and earn dpoy without be a football player. AJ Johnson wasn’t very fast, but damn did he make a lot of plays, and when he tackles guys they went backwards.

I like the kids tape. I don’t like people talking about us taking him just to get his buddies - no matter how true that might be. This kid has talent and looks like a pure defensive player. He also has that Tennessee blood! Bring him in!
