'24 TN WR Amari Jefferson (Tennessee)

[MarcoVol]

you said "only 5" like it was a negative. I have pointed out multiple times that "only 5" isn't "only 5". 5 is right there with the best passing offense in the nation. people are always arguing that we don't use our WR's like other schools do, and its simply false.

Nah he was responding to post above his that said we need at least 10 WR on roster. He was questioning whether we needed 10 bc although 10 caught a pass, only 5 had double digit catches. So do we really need 10?

Doubt he has any issues with the offense as it is. Not sure how anyone could.

I’ve seen 500 miles several times. You do realize Panama City is less than 500 miles from Knoxville. Detroit is only a 513 mile Drive. That’s a hell of a circle.

Nooooooo! Not Detroit

Mentioning „Detroit“ and „circles“ in the same post of course brings to mind Dante and the nine circles of Hell

Thanks for the info Tennessee Golfer! I think you get my point though. He came from UC-Davis. People mature at different ages. I'll not count out NS till after he is gone, and I don't think CJH and his team won't either.

my understanding is that he wants more than 10 WR, because he listed other schools with more WRs than 10. Which is why he thinks we "need" 4 this year.

So uh…Amari Jefferson. Any word on the young man?

yes

 

[knoxvol52]

yes

Full of information today huh....

 

[Jackcrevol]

So uh…Amari Jefferson. Any word on the young man?

Not sure if he has any words tattooed on him or not

Blah blah blah down to Alabama and Tennessee. Alabama slight lead. Visiting both schools before decision. Same info as there’s been for weeks.

I think he’d be perfect for this offense in the Velus Jones role.

Nope. Never heard of her. She sounds hideouts.

If you wait until you NEED them, it’ll be too late. In any case, hard to see the downside.

What was his 40 speed upon arrival and what is it today?

What is his body fat % upon arrival and what is it today?

How many hours does he average in the weight room a day during off season?

What weight targets was he given by the staff and how well has he met them?

What % of voluntary reps by our QB’s and receivers has he participated in?

Has he exhibited a higher percentage of drops than the rest of the room in All organized and voluntary practice sessions?

He ain’t Squirrel, got it; but what other non-rotational receiver has exceeded his output?

We will stop here but could go on.

If you cannot intelligently address these issues you are for sure free to continue to demonstrate your freedom to apply your arrogant and condescending from afar observations and assessments of a player who has used up one of five years available to him to meet the expectations the staff has for him.

He was not the first nor the last non blue chip receiver to be signed by our staff with longer odds for noteworthy production.

Bottom line you do not project a lot of value add to the program. But so far he is not in a to date negative position as a player. Let’s contrast that with your position as a fan taking into account only the posts on this one player in a free public forum. Then we can deal with your body of work.

His value would plummet if he dropped passes or short armed a pass on purpose. Yet lots of folks feel free to trash players and coaches wearing the same colors while they are doing their best.

There is of course room for constructive criticism on these boards, but don’t even attempt to imply your comments in these threads can meet that standard.

We can all wait for next offending posts and discuss them, no need to project them nor your net value add at the completion of Your BIG ORANGE FANDOM based on any segment of your efforts to date.

Your posts just like his drops and other shortcomings are the measurables. On the field or on the boards, facts are facts. Like it or not free shots at prospects or players are out there to see by friends, family, and fans, all fans.

No offense.

I didn't read any of that.

Sorry for wasting your time.

By what you said of “
has literally not done a thing to make any of us think he will be a contributor is just being...blind.” You could argue thats the case with all of our signees from the 2023 class because they haven’t taken a snap yet here. Look at Tillman, he devloped quite nicely and he was a 2 star

I was one of the first to hype Nate Spillman.
People forget that. Supposedly he ran a 4.39 during last summer.

Then he committed to Tennessee and just disappeared...
No injury. No mono, or sickness.
He just wasn't good enough to be a threat for Lipscomb.

Luckily they had the other WR, and a strong run game. And hellacious high school defense.

I love the kid's personal story.

It's not a wasted scholarship if Edwin feels like Knoxville is HOME, and settles in.
If Nate is a good teammate and practices hard, then no it's not a waste.

 

[wmcovol]

Yep…I’m still pissed that we took Tillman…he was only a 5.4 2*

Blue font?

 

[thunder5]

Blue font?

Yup

 

[wmcovol]

The best decisions I’ve made in life have been by looking forward, not by looking back how things used to be.

 

[CamVol8]

What day does he visit us?

 

[Vol8188]

But acting like it's wrong to be critical of a kid who has literally not done a thing to make any of us think he will be a contributor is just being...blind

Ummm….you mean the guy who is 0 games into his career? It’s not wrong to be critical of him for because he’s “not done a thing to make any of use think he will be a contributor”?

This may be your worst take of all time. Worse than Darnell will run a 4.8. Worse than Banks will go in the first round.

We should criticize all incoming players because they’ve yet to do anything?

What day does he visit us?

Ap said Friday

 

[MoB_MoVols]

The next announcement after that will come from Amari Jefferson, who will announce his decision a week from Saturday. He will be in town later today and then in Tuscaloosa on Saturday. The question becomes, can Tennessee overcome the Tide in this one? The simple answer is yes they can, but these visits will really decide things in our opinion. If he had already made a decision, he wouldn’t be taking these visits. There is an allure in playing for Nick Saban for Jefferson based off our talks with people close to him. Is it something that is an end all be all? Time will tell.

He gone. Tell Vitello to go ahead and scratch him off the board too lol

 

[bignewt]

I so don't care what this kid does

Im just here for the angst
