Can't believe a Memphis Tiger was the 11th pick. Shows how much talent goes unnoticed/unseen when the team is god awful.

This...and the pure fact that a tiger went in the first round and no Vol did.
and being the fact that he did go in the first round...he was noticed on a god awful team....I just wonder why none of these guys went to UT?...oh yeah...UT was busy going after J Jackson and Nu'Keese Richardson,Brice Brown and so on.

Honestly, IMO...I think the guy's got bust written all over him. It's a cool story to see but I have a feeling he gave it his all in the combine. And those combine results don't necessarily add up to on the field.

but would you be saying that if he was the #11 pick in the draft if he went to UT and not Tiger high?

He would've faced way more talent than he did at Memphis...so probably not if he was the same pick. They are basically taking a chance on the guy because of his size and combine results. Didn't even have good stats at Memphis or that many highlights.

the number #11 pick is a waist. It's cool.

Shows how being the best player on a crap team can get you hyped up and over drafted, if he would have played on a good team, he would be average and a 4-6 rounder

Eh, not sure I agree with that. Even playing on a crap team he wasn't spectacular and was drafted more for his combine numbers. He would have had those combine numbers no matter where he went to school
