What WR prospects are Vols still after

[Nocleats]

What WRs is Tennessee still after?.. Sounds like they need about 3 more.. Excellent opportunity for some newcomer to hit the field early.

 

[I Like Turtles]

Ahmonn Richards is probably the only possible WR to join this class, and that's not very likely.

I think we got what we get.......next year many WR to be had. We have a good stable, need a good rotation, we have three coming in, that makes around 10/11 WR for 2016.

We got 4 WR in this is class so we're done.... We hv to focus on other positions imo...

I agree. The Richards visit does one thing. Keeps one in play in case something happened with one of the 3 waiting to sign. All stick and Richards like Williams is just there to have fun.

Isn't Tee Higgins coming in as a WR? Haven't watched him play football but watched him play basketball in the Arby's Classic in Bristol. He's as athletic as they come. Can't wait to see that guy in Orange.

3 more?

He is in next years class.

I think we're deeper than most think.
Malone
Williams
Smith
Jennings
Are a very solid top 4. Enviable honestly. Add in the 4 from this class and the backups and we're more than ok

Most think Jennings to S is just a matter of time.

Need a bruise running back. This will be Hurd and Kamara last year

That may be why they are talking to Moss but hard to see a spot being available. 2017RB class is loaded.

Any good juco rbs on the rise for 2017? Wish we still had derrell scott

I think he'd be a huge asset back there but with berry, kelly jr, stephen Griffin and hopefully warrior I think we may not need him back there. Speaking of berry, I'd really really love to see him in the slot 5 or 6 times a game

No reason to yo Juco really. We'll have Kelly, Young, CFA, and probably 2 FR. RB is one spot where young guys can play early.

If they get Byrd, he's another. Could play CB, S, or even WR. I agree on Berry. The more he has his hands on the ball the better. Also him not chasing WRs around would keep him fresh for returns.

Who are "most"? Has the coaching staff ever mentioned it or is it just a move that VN has deemed necessary? I think that he has excelled as a WR and I don't understand the reasoning behind moving him. I know that he has played safety before but just curious on how serious the changing of position really is or if it is even being considered by Butch .

Mostly on here. I do think an article was recently posted where Shoop mentioned wanting JJ on defense.

Thanks Leb.
I've just never heard it mentioned anywhere but on here.

If you want the best possible D we can put on the field then that means JJ and one of TK, Gaulden, or Griffin at safety and start to groom Warrior day one. With the front 7 we have and Cam and Martin on the outside I'd hate to have a weak spot out there with that perfect lineup. Those bodys at safety aren't JJ. He would make an impact to help us win games all day long back there instead of blocking for the backs and 3-4 touches a game. Has to happen.

Doug Matthews says its an inevitability. He's been spot on with most issues, and seems pretty well tied in with the staff.

Well, until the "inevitable" happens, he is still a receiver.

He was asking if it was only a VN rumor, and I gave a source not affiliated with VN. Take it any way you want it, I couldn't care less.

He's as aggressive as they come but he should be a great wide out instead of safety. Imo

He'll be a good to great WR; but he can be an All-Pro Safety.
