'21 TN TE Hudson Wolfe (Ole Miss commit)

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

They have never played a snap on college and 230 does not mean tight end. That means one tight end that we hope works out.

Ok... but Wolfe hasn’t played college ball either?? Are you trying to say we have zero talent in the room or zero talent in the class?

230 is Nixon’s listed weight. I’ve seen him recently and he looks bigger than that. could easily get to 245-250 with a couple months in the weight room.

Lol! Please no.

what, you dont want a blocking TE?

when Brandon comes back for his 7th year of eligibility necks yurr, he'll be the Respert to our Victor Mcclure.

 

[butchna]

Lol! Please no.

Big guy who can’t catch? What’s the difference between that and Pope?

I’m employing his “lol please no!”

Bell is projected to play DE.

That just leaves Campbell since Wolfe is likely to flip to Ole Miss.

We have no talent at tight end and we like to run two tight end sets and jumbo packages. So you need depth at tight end.

So you think we should take 3 TEs when we can only take 25 total? Just don't agree. Plus Pope will most likely be back next season. If Wolfe is part of this class, great. If he flips, I can live with that too. I'll be much more concerned with players at more important positions potentially flipping. The great thing about Jumbo sets is you can always put an extra OL out there for blocking purposes. Hell, throw in an added wrinkle of occasionally throwing to that OL just to give teams something to scheme against. Point being, there are other players in the class I'm more concerned with than a TE coming off an injury. If it's that big an issue, there's always the transfer portal.

I’m saying you need three because we know we have no talent right now. If you take three, one probably doesn’t work out and then you have two talented tight ends. We like to use our tight ends a lot to block so we need way more.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Big loss if he goes. I’m ready to follow another program. This last decade has sucked.

Same. If they keep pruitt of hire a similar coach, I'm out . I'll cheer for kiffin and freeze. Spend my money on them.

Pope can actually block.

 

[ndubvols]

I’d be pretty surprised if beckwith doesn’t eventually end up at tight end. I feel like we’ve taken a lot of TE’s between ‘20-‘21, but maybe I’m wrong.

Edit: Just checked and it wasn’t as many as I thought. Still I’m assuming probably two of Nixon/Roc Taylor and beckwith end up at TE, which would be 3 in 2 classes.

Unless we’re changing offenses.

Is Hudson Wolfe not another TE that's never played a college snap that we hope works out? Plus he's coming off an injury?

On the line? Put Locklear on a linebacker or safety and they’re going backwards.

We got a bunch of guys in the room already that are run blockers and non factors in the passing game. Our very best run blocking TE (Pope) didn’t play any this season so I’m sure that was an issue. We need more weapons in the passing game at the position. Only guy we have in the room rn that does that is Fant, who I think was REALLY hurting from JG being the QB because he only knows to throw to Palmer, BJ or the RBs. Looked decent when Bailey/Shrout threw him the ball

Someone, was it metal? Said bunch of more decommits were incoming.

It was Matts.

Read my comments. Already answered and you still asked again.

 

[Weezer]

I think people are overreacting to this potential flip because our coach sucks. There are other commits that would be bigger losses IMO. And whether a coaching change happens this season or next, the next coach will be working with these players. I'd rather it be a TE flipping than a DE or a LB or a QB....But maybe that's just me.

 

[Weezer]

Obviously not answered adequately as you've ignored other pertinent facts. You're just pissed because our coach sucks and this gives you something else to attack him on. We all know we need a better coach, but I think you're overreacting on this one.

I have doubts you and @Smyrna ATL Vol are true Vol fans then.

Nope. I just don’t have time to repeat myself ten times to let it sink in your head. And I’ve known our coached has sucked for a while. Im only upset that we aren’t doing anything about it yet.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

I don't care. I won't waste more time and money on a trash program that's trash simply because of the decisions made. They have destroyed this program and they have a chance now to fix it. If they don't, to hell with them. I'm not here to prove my fandom to you.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

LOL! I said I really want to follow another program. Did I say I was? Would it be easier? Hell yes. We suck and have sucked for a long time. I have more skin in the game than you ever will. I’ll see myself out.

It's a big loss, again. GOVOLS PC said we are going to make room.

Hard to see a kid all of a sudden flip from a Pruitt personality to Kiffin. Polar opposites.

Yeah. One knows how to coach and score points. The other doesn't.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yeah. One knows how to coach and score points. The other doesn't.

sigh. my point was that its a big loss if kid is healthy. it may be we just werent after him as hard bc we're happy with where we are. PC said we'd be losing several more.

he's a player, just got hurt.
