Lol..nah I'm a minister. A small church here in Harlan had been without a pastor for about 18 months. Nobody wants to move to Harlan. It is sad that a lot of people talk about faith, few put into real sacrifice. God moved on my heart to come here, so I obeyed. I actually love it here now. A lot of folks here that need help.

Thank you for your service to that area. Two words concerning Harlan: Jordan Smith. Wow! Gift from God.

Yes.

Skip Holtz Gutted that roster. It was despicable and disgusting.
Taggart is as good a young coach as there is in college.

True. He has to totally rebuild that mess. Seems to be making progress.

Let's go top 30 based on a mixture of overall potential and what they currently contribute to the team:

1. Dobbs
2. Hurd
3. JRM
4. Sutton
5. Barnett (would be #3 without injures during first half of season)
6. Berry
7. Kamara
8. Kirkland Jr. (will be elite next year, best MLB we've had in a very long time)
9. TK Jr.
10. Wolf
11. O. Williams
12. Daniel
13. Pearson
14. J. Smith
15. Malone
16. Vereen
17. Tuttle (pre-injury, top 10 potential next year)
18. KMack (top 10 potential next year)
19. C. Thomas
20. Martin
21. Kerbyson
22. Vickers
23. Medley
24. Ellis
25. Randolph
26. Robertson (would be higher without injuries)
27. Foreman (latter half of season)
28. Jennings
29. McNeil
30. McDowell

Scary thing is we only lose a handful of guys from this list, and they're almost all towards the bottom.

Graduating: O. Williams, Pearson, Randolph, McNeil, Kerbyson, Ellis, Sutton (likely but not guaranteed), JRM (maybe)

And then we still have guys like Kyle Phillips, Gaulden, Austin Smith, Derrell Taylor, Croom, North, Griffin, M. Abernathy, etc., who were either injured this year or didn't get a chance to play as much but could have huge impacts next year.

Jack Jones and Chance Hall could and probably should be in the top 30 somewhere as well based on their play towards the end of the season. Maybe Wiesman.

Overall, I like your list and ranking. However, Kerbyson is ranked much too low. His contributions and importance to Team 119 were significant.

I would have put JRM at the top of my list till I watched the Vandy rerun. Our LBs did not gave a good game against a putrid offense. Maybe there was more to it than I could discern, but it looked like the were getting manhandled and missing tackles everywhere. That game bothers me, for us to accomplish, what we hope to accomplish next year. The defense has got to play up to their ability, and not sleepwalk half the time. Arky game is another example of what I am talking about. Just something off sometimes, maybe it is a passive scheme or something that they are just not wired to execute.

I agree. I thought it was their worst game of the season at LB in particular. The scheme design was poor as well. They had Barnett too far outside to be able to stop the cut back runs and the LBs were making the wrong reads and over pursuing. They tightened it up a bit on the D-line and went to a rush that pushed the pocket and looped the D-ends inside occasionally. That did the trick. It flushed the RBs outside where the LBs and safeties could get there.

Yeah, he may be closer to top 10. Having no issues at LT this year was huge. He also may have played his way into an NFL contract.

That is the number one priority for spring/summer IMO. We have got to find a tackle to start opposite Chance Hall.

The Music City Bowl appears to be no. 2 on the bowl. if UT heads to Nashville it likely would face Penn State.

Shots fired


@TheDannyParker: If I went 28-21 as an #SEC head coach then coordinated an #SEC defense ranked No. 90 in the nation, wonder how many HC interviews I'd get.
