I don’t think Bama is a serious candidate for Theo. LOVE that kids tape, dude does everything well, has soft hands for a TE, blocks like a Mack truck, and can jump out of the gym. Kid can reach 12’ rim.

Interesting comments by Theo Johnson on Washington, see if I can’t find the whole quote. He says Washington already knows where he is going.

Edit:
There is another talented tight end that Johnson feels he could end up teammates with at the next level.
"I have a really good relationship with Darnell Washington," Johnson said. "Out of anyone uncommitted at tight end, I would say Darnell would be the one I play with in college. He might not announce before me, but he could end up knowing before me, because I am putting a lot of thought into mine."

lol, everyone wants to play with Washington

From Gilbert-
Do you see yourself playing with another TE?
"Me and Darnell (Darnell Washington) have been talking a lot. So we might end up at the same school."

This is what you post on Dawgnation. Wise betting says y’all ain’t getting them both although I don’t see us getting either one. My level of disgust for the pups is where it was for Bama pre Saban. Perhaps I falsely see most posts as polite passive aggressive (not necessarily from you SEC). Quite possible UT would have the same “world is our oyster” attitude if we were as successful. People think I’m crazy for saying the pups are the biggest threat to UT. Bama gonna do their thing for a few more years but last thing UT needs is a Bama 2.0 in Athens.

I can definitely see us getting one or both of them. Gilbert really seems to like TN recruiting him to play WR. Would be a helluva TE/WR duo for Harrison to throw to. Believe we have a good shot at getting atleast one and possibly both.

Pretty sure that is not the case. We are recruiting him just as you guys are - a TE that can flex out based on certain match-ups similar to OJ Howard and Irv Smith.

Not according to Gilbert. He said the WR pitch from TN is one reason they are near the top to land him. That was straight from Gilbert's mouth in a 247 interview.

If you're a big time prospect, why wouldn't you have Alabama and Georgia near the top of your list?

Neither GA or Ala have used TE's with lots of regularity. I know Chaney loves using TE's, but my bet is Kirby didn't let Chaney rn the offense the way he wanted to. Which is one of the numerous reasons Chaney left when Pruitt came calling. Plus Jim and his wife both love Knoxville. Pruitt and Kirby's offer were very close as far as money goes. Kirby is supposed to be a D-Bagg to work under and CJP is giving Chaney full offensive control. You definitely don't leave one school to take a job at a another one thats in a rebuild and comparable pay...Unless you are being micro managed by the HC, who also has the reputation for being a D/@$ to work for.

I can see why an elite recruit would have Ala on their list because of Saban and the success he's had. But even Nick has been heavily criticized for under using TE's and doubt that changes with Sark being the OC. How an OC could mess up an offense with Matty Ice and Juilio Jones is beyond me. Definitely a reason Atlanta fired Sark and Kyle Flood. Then Saban hires Flood as the OL Coach and Sarkisian as the OC. Not Saban's 2 best hires.

Now take Chaney's 4 yrs at TN under Kiffin and Dooley. All 4 yrs a TE finished either #2 or #3 in total receptions. Stocker for 2 yrs then Rivera the last 2. In 4 yrs, TE's caught 171 passes with Chaney calling the plays. Chaneys 2 yrs as OC at Arkansas his TE's caught 90 passes. The first year his TE was #2 on the team in receptions and the second year his TE's were #2 and #3 ion the team n receptions. He then went to Pitt for one year as their OC. That year their TE's were #3 and #5 in receptions on the team. Lastly his 3 yrs as the OC for Ga. Had Nauta at TE, who was #3 on the team in receptions with 29 and that was about it for TE Receptions in yr one.Year 2 his TE was #7 and #8 in team receptions with Nauta and Woerner catching 9 each. Last year Nauta was #4 on the team with 30 receptions and Woerner #7 with 11 Receptions.

Last year at Ala the top receiving TE was #4 in receptions, with 40, in '17 he was #7 with 14, in '16 he was #3 with 45, in '15 he was #3 with 38, in '14 he was #4 with 17, in '13 he was #6 with 14 and another was #10 with 8, in '12 he was #4 with 24. So i can maybe see a TE going to Ala and getting some catches but definitely not GA. If production is at the top of importance in choosing a school then playing for Pruitt and a Chaney offense is a way better choice than playing in a Kirby Smart offense. Even Ala will pretty much just throw to oneTE the majority of the time, while Chaney has shown he likes to use multiple as pass catchers. Sorry for the length of this but if you're a recieving TE then picking the Offense under Chaney over Smart is a no brainer. Really over Saban's too, because of how Jim likes to use multiple TE's to throw the ball to. Plus the added bonus of having the reigning Recruiter of the Year as your TE Coach. Sounds like great selling points and early playing time we can offer. Obviously Ala and Clemson are the sexy pick because you are in the NC talk every season, but really only a few schools could even offer that. Not to mention most schools can only sign 25 most years. Definitely lots of reasons for Gilbert and Washington to atleast very seriously consider TN.
