TN OLB Prince Kollie (Notre Dame transfer)

[Jackcrevol]

I mean yeah if Lewis is signing back tomorrow ain’t no reason .

Two words

1) Slants
2) Coverage

I wonder if he considers Vandy since the defensive coach is headed there.

 

[Ace]

He chose between ND and Louisville. Not sure if Lea will try to flip him. Lea still is coaching at ND for at least this week. Kollie might decide to wait.

You gotta have some serious trust in a coach if before ever playing for them you follow them to Vandy

Will be interesting to see if he does.

at 210, may not fit the mold. I dunno. it's mystifying. there has always been a knock on kids from Upper ETN. I can recollect only one kid from Tennessee High we signed, and some kid from Elizabethton...blah blah HOF tight end.

There have been a few really good players we overlook bc of competition. That QB from South who went to Wiscy.

Seems I remember a guy nick named Little Man some years back...

Duan Henry, Cocke County played in 1982 at UT. There were a few more back in the day.

Justin Worley was Gatorade National Player of the Year.

Well, that's a good reason to pass on Kollie

It means that's not a reason to take or assume someone is going to be good at the next level. Heisman winners always dominate in the NFL, amirite?

 

[jakez4ut]

she?

joke. apparently it didn't take.

you win some, lose some....

In South Carolina, not national IIRC

You take your chances with Talent like Kollie. It's better than taking too many 3 stars and hope they play better than their rating.

Don't make excuses for this sorry coaching staff. It looks silly, especially during a 3 win season

Nope, it was National.

He was still a 3* recruit which is wild.

Also I didn’t pay much attention then to recruiting, clearly, bc I had no idea he was HS teammates with Cordarrelle Patterson.

Did you see Worleybird play? Ugh. Man.

We havent gotten QB recruiting right in a long damn time.

lol Unfortunately yes, my eyes have been subjected to such horrors. Just crazy that he was Gatorade National POY and was a 3*.

I'm not making excuses for anyone. Just saying being nominated for an award like that doesn't really mean sh*t. Can we agree that Chris Donald looked like a can't miss prospect too? I agree 100% with your stance on "taking too many 3 stars" and whatnot.

This staff’s decisions on personnel is unbelievable

Yea, I have a feeling this is one that will hurt us looking back in a few years.
