I just came back to acknowledge that. After having his name refreshed in my memory and hearing about this tragic news I googled it. Saw where I'd fallen for a distasteful joke.

I just wanted to say that being a smart ass on here is no big thing. In fact I'm one of the biggest ones on here but IMO that's taking it a little far. Kind of a dick move IMO. The humor was lost on me with this one. If the font had been blue it would've been different. But telling people that a young man is deceased matter-of-factly like that just shows a serious lack of judgement.

Forgive my ignorance: I usually don't follow recruiting until commitments are made. But about 6 months ago or maybe even a year ago there were articles about the #1 QB in the '17 class committing to UT. it seems like his name was Hunter something... What happened to him?

Not gonna bust your balls over it......but, seriously, if you don't normally hang out in the RF then you are not familiar with the way things occur in the RF. Just because you didn't get the joke, doesn't mean it was done with any kind of disrespect for Hunter.

Those of us that live in this forum know when to argue with each other....we also know when someone is joking (for the most part).

Don't disrespect the locals. That's our job. :)

I'd almost rather us not even waste a scholarship on a QB this year, especially if we RS Guarantano, which we should. Now if a really talented guy who fits our offense wants in, that's a different story.

Every class should have a quarterback. There are no guarantees and injuries can always occur. You want a big time qb each cycle but if it is a guy they see as having high upside take him and hope for he best.

RB - Cordarrian Richardson, Ty Chandler
WR - Tee Higgins, Princeton Fant, Emmanuel Greene
Slot/APB - Chase Hayden
TE - Matt Dotson
OT - Trey Smith
OG - Kanan Ray, Rutger Rutmeier
C - Cesar Ruiz
*Jalen McKenzie depending on his health
*Obinna Eze depending on UT offering

DT - Eric Crosby, Jordan Williams, Breyon Gaddy
SDE - Elijah Conliffe
WDE - As yet unmentioned prospect to emerge during later evals, possibly JUCO
LB - Justin Foster, Malik Grey, Tyler Dunning
CB - Deangelo Gibbs, Gentry Bonds, Lamont Wade
S - Jacoby Stevens

Specialist - either K or P

I would add Latrell Bumphus ... if we offer

and Defensive End Alex King from Cincinnati

something tells me we end up adding 3 running backs...in addition to the two mentioned above ... just don't know who

You mean 3 RBs including the two above right? There is no way we take 5 total RBs.

I'm thinking maybe drop one OL and one Athlete so we can bring in about 6 on the DL. Need a good class there - especially at DT

Whee I read and saw him saying we take only 4 defensive linemen after taken so few in last class and two being jc transfersI was thinking a few less linemen and not as many athletes also .

The lists look good. With only 13 seniors plus some leaving early for NFL, I just don't see how we get to 25. 20 looks more like a realistic number.

Gray is listed as an Ath. He will most likely play LB at the next level but has potential to add weight and play DE. Also he's a 4* ... For now. Kid kills at camps. Look for a bump before NSD.

Not Gonna bust your balls either but I've been a member of this site for 4 and a half years. Just because the majority of my time is spent in the FF doesn't make me a visitor or a guest by any stretch. If somebody responds to a question I asked and I don't like what was said you can assure yourself I'm going to speak (or type) my mind regardless of which forum I'm in.

In other words, if I were in Alabama and some Big Bubba starts bumping his gums it's not like just because he's a local I'm not going to tell him that he needs to take a bath and that half of the National Championships on his bumper sticker aren't real
