'19 GA OL Wanya Morris (Tennessee signee)

[VFLBerg]

I thought Hall was done after this year. Did he got a medical RS?

Hall is listed as a Rs Junior on the roster.

You don’t even get to petition for those until the end of your eligibility. His first redshirt was due to medical reasons, so he qualifies.

 

[swchandler1988]

He hadn’t played partly due to injury history. Not confident in him as a year long option...best use pencil.

That’s fair. I guess the reason i have blind confidence in him is because Pruitt pried him from Bama this summer. He must know he can play with the big boys.

When he “can play”? Yeah. That’s been the tricky part.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Many of these o linemen will be much stronger next year after a full year in the strength program.

Most disappointing thing about Hall is he doesnt appear any bigger in his upper body than he did as a freshman. He had a full 12 months to work on that even though he had an injured knee.

 

[scvolfan7]

didn’t even realize that

 

[T Dog]

the difference imo is that we have a (good/great)5 star veteran who was also projected to start. not opposed to them getting their time later, I just hope we can work them in naturally, not force them into a start.

with 2 of them it should help our chances that at least 1 is great and ready to start day 1, at RT imo. and the other can work his way up.

Morris and if we get him Wright have size already and looks they have good technique too. Both look strong so I dont know why you should wait.

 

[tatervol]

Unless he leaver I would expect Richmond to start at rt next year he’s shown some real improvement over the last few weeks

We hear this every year. Do people seriously believe that for the past decade we've just had this super inferior S&C program? I don't buy it. I think Butch just recruited undersized guys, and we're going to have to recruit over most of them before we can see any major progress.

The last time we were supposed to get stronger all of a sudden because we brought in Rock. What happened to that? He just didn't know how to train athletes?

Hard to train guys when workouts are optional and players don't show

not for the last decade, but for the last 3 years, there's been little to no S&C, at least not the type that youd say translates in to competing with teams like we played last weekend and against UGA.

the budget for s&c tripled this staff vs. last.

that should tell you something. we've been woefully behind in that department for a while.

But Tennessee got a nice big building to show off.........

No but the last 2-3 years we have. The players themselves have said the weight training was a joke.

buildings are great.

and we also now have a really nice new weight room.

don't mean squat w/out the right people running it.

 

[So.ProVOL]

I think that's all we got right now BOT. It want be pretty at times but I think they will be more talented than what we got now.

Exactly

 

[So.ProVOL]

So you are expecting any FR to,perform similarly to Trey Smith? Thats alot to ask imo.

Pfff, I wish BOT! A very Tall order indeed. I can only ask for more than what we have now.... as bad as that sounds.

 

[WebbCobb]

I think we could expect Kennedy to be a staple next year too. Gotta remember the guy hadn’t played football in over a year. I like Ryan Johnson a lot but he can handle top flight d linemen. I think Carvin and Hall will be reliable guys at either guard spot, and think that Carvin will grow into a monster after another year with Fitz. Jahmir as well.

Re: Carvin - I hope so. He was terrible in the first half on Saturday

Offensive line wasn’t very good under Dooley either. Even the line with Richardson, Stone, James, and Thomas (I think) wasn’t great at run blocking.

I wasn't aware of all that. I assumed it was just typical fans creating a narrative to match what they want to be true.

Well considering year 2 is where you see the real gains from S&C, and rock gullison was here barely even a year. He just didn’t have the time to get them right. You can’t constantly change your strength coach every year and expect to see Bama sized guys out there immediately.

Ding ding. Brick and mortar don’t win ‘ships

But but... brick by brick lol

 

[Pacer92]

Niehauas has some good attributes...just needs to get much bigger and stronger...

 

[swchandler1988]

Says a lot about Wanya’s mindset in my opinion. Makes me feel good about his attitude coming to the good guys.
