Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXIII

[Ron Swanson]

Circle of life means nothing. It's fun to watch and gets the players hyped up. That's all.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Kongbo, Taylor, Phillips, Johnson, Blakeley, Smith, McDaniel, Bembry, and Bumphus. There's potential but it's a very green group.

 

[Catbone]

We may live and die with the DL this year. The OL SHOULD be good enough for us to run the ball very effectively assuming Kelly stays healthy. Part of me wonders if we should be like Arkansas and run some clock on offense to take over the game and keep our questionable defense off the field.

Of course that won't happen but just a thought.

Yeah potential is there to be very good but VQ is right to label it a question mark due to the unknown and just one injury could really significantly affect that unit unlike the past two years

 

[volinbama256]

He's got to beat guys that big this season.

Incorrect.

His Job is to fly off the edge IN SPACE, not line up directly across from someone who outweighs him by 50lbs and hit him straight on trying to drive him backwards... Hopefully someone this size will do well to even get one hand on Kongbo....

Agree. I much prefer the 1 on 1 or other line-up-and-go-at-it drills.

That's what I have been saying. Why risk injuries on show time? Use the time for other drills.

Has anyone heard anything about King Konbo getting hurt over the weekend? This was on another blog .

Yes. Reports were it wasn't serious

 

[Catbone]

Yes. Reports were it wasn't serious

Hopefully nothing that lingers

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Yes. Reports were it wasn't serious

On Basilio blog this morning they said that injury is worse than TN is letting on. Hope they're wrong

He's on a ventilator with Tuttle somewhere.

Another spring, another boatload of injuries

"More vets were MIA on Tuesday, as Tennessee has opted to shut some guys down the rest of spring."

"We’re not allowed to report on specific injuries, but there’s a noticeable thinning of the herd at practice that’s occurred over the past few weeks. Quarterback and running backs are really two of the only positions that seem to have most of the key players going full speed at every practice."

Are we going to be able to have a spring game?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Noticed Trey didn't have a black stripe. Guess it's already been removed they just didn't announce it

Probably left it on his tux.

This has to be a record right? I don't think anyone has lost their stripe before the start of fall camp.

Fastest I can remember. Griffith said he fully expects Trey to start at LT

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

👍

How awesome is it when a highly rated recruit lives up the hype right off the bat. Hope he's a freshmen all-american.

Quit freaking out, Cat.

Impossible.

Nah I'm good

Better for guys to get injured during camp than during the season. Last year we started with only Hall on the shelf and lost 60% of our starters by the time we played South Carolina.

Wonder what that means for Richmond if true. I'm hoping that if Trey does start at one tackle spot, Richmond is at the other

I'm hoping Rock will make a difference. Hopefully can stay a bit healthier this year
