'18 TN OL/DL Cade Mays (Transfer)

[bignewt]

Agreed, pass protection was much better this season. However, run blocking left a lot to be desired.

Run blocking wasn't that good because we didn't have a back start breaking out and seeing the holes till Gray. Jordan and Chandler just run into piles. One makes the other look good.

Elusive + vision is how Dobbs prevented his OL from getting him killed every game.

We didn’t have a deep passing threat either. It’s a lot easier for safeties to cheat up in the run game when your QB severely underthrows every single deep ball.

i didnt like it when he went to Ga but hey if it worked out to come back home ..Im all IN ...

Morris - LT
T Smith - LG
Kennedy - C -
Wright - RG
Mays - RT

Reserves - Calbert, Carvin, Locklear, Ackporogne , Mays and other frosh !!!

YEA !!!!

This. The box is crowded. HB should open the run a bit.

And I'm not sure I buy the run blocking hate. They moved the pile far more often this year than before. The Bama game being a fine example of that. Previous OLs wouldn't have done that.

 

[butchna]

They want to move Darnell Wright inside to Guard.

If Cade does end up here, he slots in at RT day one.

Keep hearing this stated emphatically about Wright. Who’s your source since it sure hell damn ain’t Friend?

Jahmir Johnson, Lampley, Ollie Lane and Kingston Harris in that 2/3rd string group in addition to Calbert, Carvin, Locklear and Akporoghene. If we could get away with redshirting Cooper, Robinson and Spraggins that would be incredible. Cooper needs bulking up, the other need conditioning

 

[MadWorld]

Even if he hits the portal and ends up here, he will sit a year. Won't get an exception.

 

[WJPRUITTE2794]

Supposedly he can graduate with some summer classes and be a grad transfer.. Would be tough, but I could see how it could happen between having credits from his time at Catholic, being an EE, and the extra summer classes. No idea if thats real or not and no inside knowledge, just what I've read elsewhere.

We talking bout graduation, son.

Need the Powerball #s plz...since you can see the future and all

Probably would get an exception.

 

[GVol1966]

Wanya Morris gonna play left and right tackle at the same time?

Hey he IS a 5 star ️

Here is a college credit assumption for him:

Spring 18. 15
Summer 18. 9
Fall 18 15
Spring 19. 15
Summer 19. 9
Fall 19. 15
Spring 20. 15
Summer 20. 9
HS AP credits 12

Total. 104
Probably needs 120 to graduate.
Could be there if some of the 15s are 18s and the 9s are 12s

He’d have to be a really good student to pull that off but maybe he is.

We can hope

Some info here states otherwise. What do you know that others don’t ?

He will not be a graduate transfer and would transfer with a waiver from NCAA for others reasons according to others here on Volnation. IDK myself but the details are in these thread.

This thread is great. Many lovers and haters meeting in here

Looking at that made my head hurt....

Just for clarification, I'm on the lovers side.

I am not "hating" on the run blocking...but it was inconsistent as hell. We need to get to the place when 3rd or 4th and 1 or 2 is an almost automatic first down.

Anybody that says they were optimistic whenever we were in those situations, especially against really good defenses, this season is a liar or a dummy.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Just for clarification, I'm on the lovers side.

I'm a lover.

I put on some UGA gear and screamed 'Slow Stoopid Honky Cracker Gringo' at Cade.

Therefore, he should be free to transfer wherever he wants.

Go Vols!

Keep hearing this stated emphatically about Wright. Who’s your source since it sure hell damn ain’t Friend?

I read it on a message board

Don’t even remember who, but had to be one of the posters with a tangential relationship with the staff/program.

You not buying that move? I could def see it.

Don’t know for sure that we retain Johnson and Lane, but if we do Harris most likely rejoins the DL fold.

Just making sure it wasn’t legit. It’s so VN to complain incessantly about landing OT’s and then want a highly rated one moved to OG.
