Recruiting Forum Football Talk LVII

But we did just pick up crystal balls for S Jaylen McCollough and WR Ramel Keyton, both from Bud Elliott. Maybe that helps keep some of us away from the ledge.

You and I should have bought real estate at the ledge a few months back. It's all gone now.

Vols never pressed really hard for Howell — for whatever reason. Clearly, Helton is still gathering info on guys and prefers to see some throw, but names to watch include Cade McNamara (a former ND commit), Lance Legendre (who is committed to Kansas but visited UT in early March), Travis Mumphrey, Tauila Tagoviloa. Can UT get seriously in the mix for a guy like Jayden Daniels?

Byrd is a huge bust

Not sure how appetizing this will be for some folks but a walk-on shined and had more than 2X as many snaps at safety than Tyler Byrd during the scrimmage, per multiple sources.

Shame.

Kid sure looked like he had it.

Gonna head back to offense or he’s gonna transfer.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

How does Byrd play like he did in the Army game and then come here and not be able to do anything? I don’t get it

 

[Ron Swanson]

Tuttle seems to be settling in well at nose tackle. Another name to watch at safety is Theo Jackson he's showing some improvement. Offensively, Jordan Murphy is a guy continuing to make some plays.

I've wondered if he could play RB

Have they alluded to it being his work ethic or is he just not mentally there? He obviously has the physical tools.

Starting to wonder if his age was part of reason he look so advanced at HS level and now people have caught up with him.

I didn't know that he was older.

 

[Nashvegas31]

I didn't know that he was older.

Pretty sure he was like 20 in HS. Remember seeing something that was like Calvin Ridley type

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

There’s a walk on OL emerging. They don’t even know his name yet

How is he emerging then? Lol

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

It’s Brian Garvey. Probably will get back up role

That’s amazing. Maybe Butch was right in making him a wide receiver.

Wasn't he the one who started against LSU or some team late in the year

 

[Vols4us]

He wasn't good at that as well. It's a shame. Didn't work out it appears.

Those games must be riddled with false positives. Kyle Philips gained his fifth star after one if I recall. Philips has looked serviceable, but nothing like a 5 star stud.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

What's funny is that the 2018 OL has the highest average 247 rating of any team dating back to 2013, when I started keeping score.

Friend has some guys he can work with. Problem is they're basically all inexperienced and/or have had injury problems.

 

[BigZiti09]

Way too thin. Would get broken in half.

Maybe this link will shed some more light on your thoughts about Patrick Reed.

The Villain: Patrick Reed | Tobacco Road Blues

Professional athletes Aaron Rodgers and Sean O'Hair had their reasons for distancing themselves from their families as well. The wife/significant other received much of the blame for it with them just like Justine. Patrick screwed up as a kid. His parents bailed him out along with his AS golf coach. Wonder what led him to have so much anger and desire to prove himself better than everybody else at the one thing he loved? There appear to be some big clues in the article. Doesn't make one or another all right or all wrong. But it takes all parties to sincerely ask for forgiveness of each other for reconciliation to happen. Been there.

Drew Brees also had a strained relationship with his mother after he turned pro. She was an accomplished attorney and eventually committed suicide. I read more about his story because Sergio's new wife is Brees' cousin.

It's sad that Reed can't get along with his family, but I try not to judge either side. I agree that it takes everyone to work at it. I will say that he is the best thing to happen for the US Ryder Cup team. The kid has fire and refuses to lose, and it's why I root for him over other non-American players.
