I sit around two UGA grads and a Bama grad at work. When I saw the news on VN today I randomly bought up Ansley to see what they thought of him as a coach, knowing they would praise him but probably hadn’t hear the news yet. The Bama grad went on to talk about how great he was but he was coaching in the NFL now and that was his dream otherwise he’d still be at Bama and then one of the UGA grads said, “Nah, Kirby will hire him away from the NFL, just wait.” They then argued about whether he would come back to college and if he did, which of the two he would prefer. I finally stopped them and said, “Well, turns out he prefers UT over both your bum schools. Pruitt just hired him.”

I then walked off just like this:

He doesn't think you're right; but, you are.

you're wrong m'lady

Was looking at the transfer portal and noticed Tyrone Wheatley Jr. listed as a 6'6 280lb TE. That's a big TE. Kid should consider becoming an OT or switch to the DL.

I saw that as well. IIRC, he's transferring to Slippery Rock, or something. It seems foot injuries have plagued him his entire college career.

BTW good to be back. Started my dream job almost two weeks ago with the Jets. But still look forward to chatting with you guys.

Congrats on the job, Hank! Way to go, man!

Either Sherrer is gone or He is gonna be CO-DC with Ansley.

SIAD....you guys think Pons being out hurts us as much as I do?

I was already thinking we would have troubLe with one of the next two (trap games before UK)

 

[revjayp]

We are not done with coaching moves. If all things work out, might have another upgrade coming....

Sherrer on the move... Asking, not reporting.

Since the football season ended, UT has essentially traded Tyson Helton, Charles Kelly, and Terry Fair for Jim Chaney, Tee Martin, and Derek Ansley, brought in a football recruiting class ranked between 9-12 nationally after a 5-7 season, and we are seeing the men's basketball team ranked #1.

Wow. Hopefully the momentum continues!

 

[BruinVol]

Either Sherrer is gone or He is gonna be CO-DC with Ansley.

We already have Co-DCs


Let's try having Tri-DCs

SIAD....you guys think Pons being out hurts us as much as I do?

I was already thinking we would lose one of the next two (trap games before UK)

I don't think it hurts at all. Give me johnson over him anyway

 

[VolsnCards5]

I don't think it hurts at all. Give me johnson over him anyway

Offensively, yea. Not defensively though

 

[BruinVol]

Offensively, yea. Not defensively though

Agreed but the gators can't score in a whore house

Worse offense I have ever seen

 

[Rishvol]

We already have Co-DCs


Let's try having Tri-DCs

We only have 1 DC and he's the HC

 

[revjayp]

Ansley getting almost 1 mil says to me that Sherrer is gone.

Pons brings a lot defensively, but he can stagnate the offense. Fortunately, Florida and SCAR are pretty inept offensively. Really hope he is back for UK though.

Some UGA posts on 247 regarding Ansley to UT...

Extremely good hire here.

Pruitt is building it the right way, for sure.

People gonna learn very quickly that UT is getting more right than wrong, and is gonna be competitive much sooner than expected....most can only look at what UT/Pruitt did last year, and not what they can do w/ competent staff...better take them seriously

Smh. This changes my whole outlook on the Warren hire. If this dude was willing to go to Tennessee then he damn sure was gonna be to Athens. We should have hired him

Good hire. Pruitt knows he need alpha recruiters. He's now got Ansley, Niedermeyer, Tee, and himself that are all great recruiters.

Pruitt is putting together a very legit staff of proven recruiters and winners. UT is finally committed and giving him the tools to work with to be in the hunt. UT does have some challenges geographically, but it won’t surprise me to see them finish with a top 5 class this upcoming cycle. They have some STUD recruiters on that staff now.

Niedermeyer just won recruiter of the year on 247. Friend just signed two 5 star OTs. Kelley has a strong track record as well. Rocker and Sherrer have inked their fair share as well. They have some proven recruiters on that staff. If they are able to put some wins together they will be dangerous on the trail.

We only have 1 DC and he's the HC

Agreed

 

[Smokey123]

Sherrer on the move... Asking, not reporting.

YAC imo

 

[Nashvegas31]

That would make me think Sherrer could be on move. Wouldn't bother me to be honest. A lot of money. He has more true hand off DC potential than Sherrer imo.

 

[Orange Studs]

Tall order or not, the young guys may be the best options we have on the oline. Pruitt will start the best players.

I think Darnell and Wanya will both start by the Florida game.

I think Morris has a better chance of cracking the line up earlier than Wright just for the fact he is in early for S&C and gets to go through Spring practice.Not saying Wright want eventually break the line up at least 2nd string giving the starters a breather.

 

[jakez4ut]

Holy cow. We in it to win it.
