Didn't know where to ask who is "@the dream_75"?
On Butch's recruiting so far...
"
Honestly Boys
I am at a FREAKING loss for words. What is going on here is what Phillip did his first few years as head coach. Had drinks and dinner last night with one of Coach Fulmer's daughters and her husband...a former TN great. What BUTCH is doing is nothing short of phenomenal, especially considering the shape the program is in.... I knew we didn't want Charlie Strong...but getting Butch thrown in our lap as an after-thought has been a GOD Send......
Truly Amazing

"Quick note from the Challenge
The 7-on-7s are going on today and Daniel Helm has again impressed. He's caught several touchdown passes and has been nearly unstoppable in the red zone. He's been the most consistently impressive tight end here.
Dillon Bates has looked good in coverage. The linebackers are always at a disadvantage, but he's broken up a couple of balls.
D'Andre Payne's been beat on some jump balls because of how short he is, but he's able to run with guys and stay on their hip most of the time."

Don't really care what he does to be honest. He is an average QB, and showed that against pretty much every defense other than Sunseri's
Some notes from today in Chicago
Daniel Helm was again impressive and led his team to the 7-on-7 championship. He scored a TD and a 2-pt conversion in the championship game. He was a really, really good red zone target this weekend. Neither linebacker or corner could stop him on corner routes or fade routes. He was he best tight end here this weekend and there was a lot of buzz about him.
Dillon Bates had a good day. It's just hard for linebackers to stand out at these events because they are usually throwing to receivers and rarely check down to running back or tight end. But, he certainly covers well and runs really well and had some pass break ups. You always wish they were in bad to see them make contact because a lot more passes would be broken up if that was the case.
Some recruiting notes, Marshon Lattimore talked about Tennessee being high up there. It would be a huge upset if the Glenville defensive back ended up anywhere other than Ohio State, but he spoke highly of Mark Elder and Tennessee and is hoping to see Knoxville.
Kentavious Street talked about Tennessee being an intriguing place. He's been talking to coach Stripling recently and he knows about the need for defensive linemen. It's still very early in the process for him as he doesn't plan to get very serious about recruiting until the fall.
If we sign the max, it seems like it will shake out close to the following:
QB - 1 (Cornwell, Kizer, McClendon, or Doss)
RB - 2 (Hurd, Paulk)
WR - 4 (Jackson, Lauderdale, Lee, Wharton)
TE - 2 (Helm, Wolf)
OL - 4 (Blair, Brown, Thomas, and 1 HS)
DT - 3 (Ford, 1 JUCO, and 1 HS)
DE - 3 (Creamer, Henderson, Hendrix)
LB - 4 (Bates, El. Berry, Mouton, Weatherd)
CB - 3 (Ev. Berry, Payne, and 1 HS)
S - 2 (Kelly, McDowell)
K/P - 1 (Medley)
Thoughts?
Good to hear on Helms and Bates. On Payne, wasn't there a long discussion of his height in his thread? Sounds like it could be an issue, but maybe he also still needs to learn more technique? (I'm no expert)
