'21 TN WR Walker Merrill (Tennessee signee)

[butchna]

That's a good thing too. He's more likely than not to be one of those "where the hell did this guy come from?" players.

Much better than “why the hell did Pruitt let this one get away?”

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Why?

Los estrellas..

 

[Volinnooga]

I believe many think he will be recruited over simply because he’s white

You disagree?

Reminds me of Don Beebe.



Am I doing this right?

This year’s Will Albright.

You disagree?

Ha. Nope. You said what many were thinking. I hope he sticks. He's a good player.

I think he is much better than Beebe.

This kid reminds me of a Josh Smith or Wes Welker type of receiver. Can always count on him for the effort and hustle where his leaping ability may be lacking. I’d expect to see him play a similar role to the one Julian Edelman plays for the Patriots (blue font since I keep getting quoted on this*)

The only similarites between him and Welker/ Edelman are their skin color.

 

[bray2milton]

The next Craig Faulkner IMO. Cause he is white.

I never got the sense that the issue with Albright was his skin color...the concern I and many others had was why we were spending a scholarship on a position we have consistently filled through the walk on ranks in the past

Wasn’t a racial reference. Lot of noise and declarations that Albright wouldn’t be in the class because of your referenced point. UT hasn’t “consistently filled” the long snapper position with walkons since we lost the Tennessee native to Oklahoma via a scholarship vs our PWO offer in 2014. And Saban embraces the scholarship method and Pruitt has been known to take notes. Likewise, Merrill was an early priority and will be in this class.

Walker Merrill is and will be a VOL. Some of y’all are looney.

It is pretty funny how anytime a white WR is recruited the only comparisons people make are to other white WRs.

Merrill = Justin Jefferson

Better?

Ssshhh!

Far as we know.

Merrill = Justin Jefferson

Better?

he’s not quite that height but he could absolutely be a possession receiver like that

 

[The Dog]

Merrill = Justin Jefferson

Better?

Nah, heard Merrill wears goggles when he plays, so John Jefferson, imo. Air Coryell, Dan Fouts and the mid 80s San Diego Chargers were 30+ years before their time
