Recruiting Forum Football Talk XVII

Justin Martin just retweeted: @jlomas72 Coach Tommy Thigpen just said that the #Vols might use Justin Martin on offense some. 6'3" CB with 4.4 speed.

TE huh?

We all know he's too tall for RB.

 

[eazyTD]

I would feel good about this line

LT. Blair
LG. Jackson
C. Kerbyson
RG. Robertson
RT. Richmond/Jones

That's my favorite OL prediction but I just don't see CBJ benching Crowder. No offense, but he was somewhat disappointing last year imo.

 

[SSVol]

Well if Sheridan is named QB coach, then somebody on current staff is going to be the odd man out.

I don't think it said he would be QB Coach...it said he would coach QBs...which he could easily do as a GA.

 

[DD4ME]

Just thinking out loud here. Let's use a hypothetical and say that Blair still is looking like a bust while Richmond arrives and plays like the five star LT he's supposed to be during fall camp.

2015

LT - Richmond (Fr)
LG - Jackson (rSr)
C - Crowder (rSr)
RG - Robertson (So)
RT - Kerbyson (rSr)

2016

LT - Richmond (So)
LG - Weisman (Sr) OR Boulware (So) OR Stewart (So)
C - C.Thomas (Jr)
RG - Robertson (Jr)
RT - Jones (rFr/So) OR Kendrick (rJr)

Opinions?

seeviceable maybe even good but we still need top shelf depth

I like Kerbyson at center, because it gives us a huge upgrade at that spot and I think it will be his best chance to get an NFL look. Blair is kind of a blind hope.

I wouldn't count out Austin Samdwrs as a RS JR or Mosely as a RS SO in the 2016 mix.

A few random predictions for 2015:

-We have 4 games on CBS (UGA, Arkansas, UF, Bama) and win 2/4

-We spend at least 8 weeks in the top 25

-Dobbs is a serious contender for the Heisman trophy all season but doesn't win. Enters 2016 as the favorite

-Kamara finishes with more total yards than Hurd

-We have 4 500+ yard receivers in Pearson, North, Pig, and Malone

-Aaron Medley kicks a game winner

-The phrase "Tennessee is back" will be uttered at least once by a commentator during a nationally televised game

1) Gaw....I hate CBS games....mainly because we have to listen to drunk Uncle Verne and Gary's love fest for Alabama even if Alabama isn't one of the teams playing.

2) Dang I would love to see 19,000 total yards from those guys! All of them plus Dobbs would get the Heisman for sure!

JONES: We need the fans to stay positive and keep doing what they are doing. The #VolWalk in Jacksonville showed that.

Read as OC announcement coming soon.

Kamara and receiver predictions are pretty bold

Interesting one there. Possible too. Hurd will be the work horse and have plenty of yards himself, but Kamara has that elusiveness and break away speed that could get him several really long runs. JMO of course

 

[butchna]

The ONLY reason Dillon Bates is even on this team is because of my voting prowess. If it hadn't been for that award I won him in Florida, he wouldn't have come here.

Still waiting on my check!! $$$$

Fahr Butch!

Him's shady! :glare:

One last " Please don't ***** and moan when I announce DeBord, I know what I'm doing" would be my guess.

Hurd will continue leading in total yards because of his ability to catch the ball out of the back field. Not sure AK has the hands Hurd does

 

[BaldBiker]

Welcome to VolNation Mike DeBord.

We may have a few tools for ya to work with here.

He does.

Could be wrong on this, but I thought that was one of Kamara's strong suits too.

Will DeBord have an introductory press conference?

Possibly the worst kept secret in the profession; but can confirm that Mike DeBord will be new OC at Tennessee The Scoop - FootballScoop

Needs to get to work imo.
