What has happened to RB Tom Smith?

[87Vol]

Is he not with the team anymore? I have not heard anything at all about him since the spring. Did I miss something?

 

[volnpowell]

good question, did not notice him on stats thread.

 

[IndianaVolunteer]

isn't he hurt? i may be thinking of someone else..

 

[TlM]

He's there. Tom hasn't went anywhere. He'll get a few snaps this year.

I think i remember P.L.A.R.S. mention him in one of the practice threads, he must just be buried on the depth chart.

Well how come he didn't even get a single carry in today's scrimmage. I didn't see him listed for the last scrimmage either. Is he that bad that we can't even give him some work in practice?

 

[davethevol]

Maybe he's in the doghouse? It is odd that he's not being mentioned.

 

[rockytop_14]

Probably playing a lot of special teams.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Is definitely injured right now; ankle or hamstring or something like that.

 

[Billy Antrim]

I read somewhere that he hurt his foot at Milligan. Was in a walking boot with crutches.

How long has it been since we could say that?

 

[apkvol]

From what I heard, Tom was in a red non-contact jersey at Milligan.

 

[VictoryVols]

I thought I heard CJG say something about him...

This. He is injured. Sprained foot I believe. Has had a good spring so far.

I don't know, good question. Derek and I will put our heads together and try to find a way to work him into future scrimmage game plans.

If you were working with DD last year you should do us all a favor and resign!

 

[velovol]

Nothing against the kid, but had we had a full roster im not sure DD and company even offer him a scholly.

Is he really that far off from being a SEC running back? His High School film didn't look that bad when he was being recruited. He seemed like he ran hard and wasn't afraid of getting hit and laying a hit on a defender. Now I know High school and Sec football are two different animals, but I thought he could contribute in some way when we signed him. However from the sounds of it I guess I was wrong.

No. He has had a very solid spring. He is hurt.

No he has looked very good this spring. He will contribute when healthy.

 

[005]

We have some capable running backs.

 

[GoTNvols13]
