Vols Spring Practice #2

[butchna]

Agree but I think that move was more desperate from the standpoint of just needing bodies. He was risky from jump.

I agree. Choices were limited but that was the goal.

Carter is going to be a 1st team all american linebacker for us isnt he?

 

[Vol737]

Great to hear how several of these incoming freshmen are giving veterans a good go of it in practice right off the bat. That shows the kind of talent Heuple & Co. have pulled in. Can't wait to see which ones contribute this season.

 

[Vol737]

I predict by the third Saturday in October, Saban will be complaining to the league that he’s a safety issue.

The more Nicky whines, the bigger I smile.

 

[Vol737]

pili probably has the edge but boy do I hope it’s Carter by mid season his ceiling is through the roof I love this LB class with Carter smith and telander.

I just love the depth we are adding at LB.

Golding was most likely gone anyway but when Saban sent him on a desperate mission to prevent Carter from committing before their in-home…and Carter wouldn’t even see him at the school? That sealed it imo.

Arion Carter is going to be a beast and a fan favorite.

From CTB per VQ

“Just their retention,” Banks said on what has stood out through two days. “A lot of time when freshmen come in, one of the hardest things for those guys to make in terms of adjustments is just the mental capacity of what it takes. Obviously our playbook is a lot more advanced than some of the high schools they came from. So their ability to grasp what we are trying to get accomplished from an x’s and o’s standpoint and then their sheer tenacity. We are extremely pleased with them. We feel most of those guys have a chance to be extremely special as they continue to grow within the program.”

Question is, who starts at LB next to beasley in a 4-2-5 set? Carter, Herring, or Pili.

I imagine we will have at least a 3 man rotation like last year. Maybe even 4

I think he’s also going to be elite level football smart. The kid is very, very smart.

Considering he focused more on RB before his senior season.

Thanks Fingers

Herring may have given the best interview I have ever seen a young player give. Outstanding presence.

Which Herring?

 

[sjt18]

Which Herring?

Caleb. The one that did the interview today.

Hadn’t seen it…will now. Thanks!

Caleb. The one that did the interview today.

Makes sense he would be mature. AP made a statement last season that having him here would be huge for him and his brother because of the way they feed off and encourage each other. Sounds like two impressive young men

Been a fan of Eli. Caleb is gold gravy.

It’s going to be a long wait for September 2.

No joke, imagine this kid in a year or two after being in the system and S&C program. He’s going to be a killer!
GBO!!!

 

[SmashMouth]

Cam Seldon is an absolute freak!

Arion Carter already has better hands than Jeremy Banks

Didn’t fumble as a RB either…so yeah.
