'24 Vols Transfer Offers

Agreed. I know it's a small sample size and against Candy but I thought Nichols played well. He couldn't be any worse than Ollie or Karic and both of them had backup level play this year.
Without detailing the thread too much I would say sometimes performance isn’t by itself enough. Perhaps his commitment was an issue. Isn’t he the one that AP said he had a lot of interests other than football? Sounds like they thought he was distracted.
 
And that's my hope. Yesterday, I envied DBs who played press and defenses that were real and sure tacklers. QB play was also impressive by several. WR's finding spots and making catches. Really everything that I hope to see from UT again sooner rather than later, but one thing really struck me watching the games yesterday. The quality of our linemen needs to be upgraded big time. That's where the great teams separate themselves from everyone else. The lines of scrimmage on display during the bama and uga game really caught my eye. Sayin' it again...we need line help and a lot of it.
Good post. Bama beat Georgia because of their offensive line. Even when GA blitzed it was picked up for the most part. Opened up holes in running game. We have a long way to go to get to the level we want and never will get there with an average OLine.
 
Idk I’m not the coach. I personally don’t see why we need to use the portal for “bridge” players

Portal = immediate impact
HS = Develop the kids till they are ready.

On top of that his offer list is mediocre as heck. I hope he takes the Houston offer and runs with it. Kids from TX so hopefully he stays instate
I agree I am not taking a marginal portal player. If I am taking a portal player I am expecting him to be a impact player quickly. They need to be able to help the roster immediately. GBO

Clearly, we need to practice our choke-hold blocking.
 
This thread should get a lot of clicks and age very well.

Lol. Yep.

I am just amazed at how much more message board gurus know as opposed to power 5 coaching staffs.

I thought when our staff offered guys that they were really good football players. You can imagine how surprised I was to come here and find out some of them are actually trash.

Eye opening indeed!
 
I’m sure that talk occurred after he entered the portal and not immediately after him playing Tennessee 😉

If you read VN you would’ve thought our coaches were acting like they had never heard of the kid. Wanted him offered before you could even offer. Questioning the portal strategy and everything
