‘23 TN WR Demitrius Bell

[BelieveTheHeup93]

You have to be on the field to take the top off the defense. You have to make decent grades to be on the field

Making decent grades as a college athlete at a place like Tennessee is easier than in HS because of the academic support systems they have in place

Jalin Hyatt. He did very well tonight

I’m just telling it like it is. We’re in no position to turn away stud athletes at positions of need, and yes WR is a position of need. We have a lot of X WRs but very few guys outside of Squirrel that can take the top off a defense. We need a decent sized guy that can take the top off a defense like Payton did last year

I'm sorry, have you totally ignored that this staff seems to know what they're doing when it comes to WRs?

This is false. To fail at a public HS in TN is incredibly hard to do. Show up, be respectful, turn in assignments on time and you’re virtually assured a 75 in the class. And that is for all students. If you’re an elite athlete you get even more “support” when it comes to grades in HS.

Is he actually failing classes or are his grades combined with his ACT scores just not good enough to get into UT? I don’t see why Georgia would be offering him this late in the cycle if they didn’t think they could find a way get him eligible

I don't think UT is using the ACT for admissions this year.

I knew a math teacher at a local public high school here in Knoxville and he said that he would literally give the kids the test the day before and switch a few numbers around on the actual test. Said he would have 20% of the class still fail.

Bru McCoy runs in the 4.4's in the 40, and is big and strong. He can take the top of a defense. He's almost as fast as Robert Meachem and built the same way. Meachem ran a 4.39, and a 4.41 at the NFL combine.

UGA found a way to get George Pickens admitted, nuff said.

They would offer and find a way to get him in if the only way he signs his name is by making an X with a crayon

 

[My VOLS are huge]

ACT is required going forward starting with Fall 2023
