OK, what did I miss over the weekend? What's the dig on the Niedermayer tweet

By the way, props to you @TennGentry for posting the screenshot for those of us behind enemy lines!

Any speculation on whether we get any surprises Wednesday? Or would any surprises most likely happen in February?

Greg Williams is getting the job done. I see no reason to think he can't continue to do so. He's been a HC before, the team has responded well to him, they've already won more under him than they did in Hue Jackson's ENTIRE tenure as a HC...

Why not?

I’m with you. It would be like Cleveland to try to fix something that finally looks as if it’s not broken though.

Are we looking to expand the scope to be more like that of Nebraska?

We'll stick to the active roster limit, so it's really more of a way to build quality depth by attracting and developing players that wouldn't be a take at UT because of tight numbers. Some kids, especially local and in-state kids, can either pay their way or obtain financial aid other than an athletic scholarship, so all they need is a chance. Because most are brought in as projects, they wouldn't have had the chance to receive the level of training and support that UT provides without walking on. Joe Doyle is a good prototype. Success like that encourages HS coaches to funnel those types of high-potential players to UT.

Overall, would you say we are we headed in the right direction as a program? Clearly it's going to take several years, but is the general vibe good?

No reason not to be optimistic. I think Pruitt and Fulmer want to win and the university has committed the resources to help them. Just need to finish strong in recruiting and develop players as quickly as possible.

So for anyone thinking they're having a bad Monday morning.... The male kitten/yearling barged in on me in the bathroom while I was doing my business this morning. He got so excited he ran and jumped in my lap which was cute until I realized the little sh!t had sprayed me. #itCanAlwaysGetWorse I knew he was nearing the time for his snip snip but damn. Time for those grapes of his to go. Ugh.

Thanks. Last question, if you had to guess today, who is our OC?

Pruitt was this guy’s recruiter at Alabama (along with Derrick Ansley) coming out of high school.

Solomon's departure is now the eighth from the Michigan program from the 2017 class. He joins Deron Irving-Bey (transfer), Drew Singleton (transfer), Kurt Taylor (transfer), Corey Malone-Hatcher (medical), O'maury Samuels (team rules violation), James Hudson (transfer) and JaRaymond Hall (transfer) as prospects from the cycle to leave the program.

Breaking: Aubrey Solomon to transfer from Michigan

This sounds eerily familiar. Major attrition was one of Butch's primary undoings. Does Harbaugh have a similar fate ahead?

I think the only potential surprises Wednesday are Noah Cain and apparently Haselwood. Also got a good chance with Figueroa and Payton.

After that we’ll be looking forward to surprises from Crouch and Ellis on Jan 5 @ the All American game.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. Pruitt was the recruiter who tried to get Solomon to go to Alabama out of high school. Instead, Solomon went to Michigan. Now that Solomon is looking to transfer from Michigan, Pruitt’s pre-existing relationship with Solomon night give Tennessee an in with him.
