Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[butchna]

As was discussed when the diagnosis came out earlier this year. Clots will come with or without football. He has the best thing for him right now with the close monitoring. If he keeps that he could still play football, but it's up to him whether he wants to continue or not

I think he needs to swing towards giving it up. Do the medical route and hang around the team.

 

[Adam2014]

We literally need to sign 10 offensive linemen this cycle.

 

[volatil]

Clots are manageable. Chronic anticoagulants and contact sports don’t mix though.

 

[Rishvol]

He will be on blood thinners and I doubt he'd be cleared to play football while on blood thinners.

Yeah he's probably out for the year

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I’m guessing Drew will have to move to LT, and possibly Ryan Johnson to RT, then Locklear to center?

 

[VEKZY]

I wonder if Jahmir Johnson will get a shot at LT?

Tackle seems to fit his body type more.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Hate it for Trey. Such a great kid.

As far as the OL goes though, doubt it matters all that much. They're bad with or without Trey. They aren't winning by running the ball no matter what. Its about about the passing game and defense.

 

[dimondvol]

Surprised this is anyone’s first thoughts.

Get off your high horse. We're all concerned for Trey, and we're all concerned for our line play going forward.

 

[LA Vol]

Doctors gave a positive prognosis with a full recovery expected. But he's definitely done for the year and will have to make some decisions in the offseason. He can stay at UT, work with the team and pursue as many degrees as he wants. Just a really tough break... but not unanticipated.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Should have known it was medical in nature with the way ATLvol worded his f/u post.

Hate it for Trey. By all accounts, he’s a smart kid. He’ll be a success in other areas.

He has an affinity for me. Don't mind.

 

[butchna]

AtlVol get a pass for the “drama”? Handled it respectfully and the best way possible imo.

 

[BruinVol]

Hall been the first OL off the bench lately and he's been working at LT.

He has to be involved imo

Yep. Doesn't hit as hard when you're prepared. Also, he was right in it not being his place to report

 

[JAllen18]

Out for the season.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Praying for TS.

 

[butchna]

On a lesser note, anybody still doubting his cred?

 

[Crazy Ivan]

Jeremy Banks, RB MLB LT

I'd say put Jennings at LT and I dare anyone anyone to try to speed rush the QB from his side.

 

[JacketVol]

Can you confirm that was my first thought?

First post then

 

[scvolfan7]

Sucks so much for Trey. He’s going to have a great career even without football.

Assuming this means Richmond back to LT and more playing time for Tatum at RT

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

On a lesser note, anybody still doubting his cred?

I don't think anyone doubts his cred. But what's the point of posting a cryptic "winter is coming"? He obviously is well connected, why not just post what it is, or let it roll out on its own naturally.

anyone remember drunk fan at Bowling Green game in Nashville getting destroyed by security like this?

Well, there were several doubting everything he posted.

 

[BruinVol]

Richmond has played his best football lately

I personally prefer and appreciate exactly the way he handled it. I knew bad news was coming, and it stung less when I realized it's one player, who we knew had these medical issues, and that he is otherwise going to be fine, but just can't play football for a while/maybe ever again. As a VOL fan, sometimes your mind can go straight to the worst possible scenario (multiple suspensions, arrests, recruiting violations, etc.). This softened the blow for me, as long as Trey stays as healthy as he can be. Respect to all involved, including our AD, HFC, medical staff, Trey, and even ATL Vol. JMO.
