Coaches All-SEC team...not good

[IndianaVol]

WOW - one guy (Callaway as a return specialist) on the SECOND team and two guys on the third team (Warrior and Taylor at DB).
I want to argue with anyone that says Butch could recruit to the SEC - or is this another in the cap bad player development.

Pre-season All SEC teams are a reflection of the previous year. EVERY year someone improves and shows up on the post-season teams.

Show 2018s with a breakdown of how each player ended up

 

[DefenseWins]

This is flawed... no Thompson? And no Darrell Taylor? Bituli I think is underrated... however it’s still a work in progress nothing we don’t already know... awards don’t get given out in preseason... our team just needs to go to work and let the chips fall...nothing more, nothing less

 

[Tin Man]

Let the current Vols go unnoticed in the preseason hullabaloo. Time and results on the field will change this soon enough. GBO.

Pre is clickbait , give me post season = all that matters

 

[jctenn1]

what about Trey Smith..He is a projected top 10 draft pick if healthy..
He should of made the list....
Maybe we need to start our own list
GBO

 

[Ashevillevol]

What if they put all of our guys 1st team SEC, would everybody be happy? Who gaf? It's just somebody's opinion. Yours is as good as theirs. We just have to go out and win some games

He's been medically cleared? Link please.

He's been medically cleared? Link please.

was not saying that..
saying if he can play and stay healthy

 

[BeardedVol]

was not saying that..
saying if he can play and stay healthy

That's why he's not on the All-SEC team...

With all due respect, they went 4-8 in 2017 and 5-7 in 2018.

Just how many people do you expect to receive preseason honors from this team.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I guess this will be one of the bullet points for why Pruitt should get a pass if the team tanks again.

 

[secking]

If you are Pruitt, this is Exactly what you WANT.

Print this out, put it on the board in the locker room and weight room, thank the coaches for the motivation.

 

[OrangeByBirth]

I hope all those guys read the predictions. Those that are listed will feel superior and those omitted will be motivated. The Vols win the motivated challenge!

Although far from a Gator fan, your response on this is one of reason. Maybe it will make some players hungry.

Actually if you look at it closely we have like the 4th or 5th most listed out of all SEC teams. You must think that everyone but a couple of teams suck at developing talent.

Yes and No, if that kind of thing was really of great value though, Vanderbilt would a football dynasty. As always, thanks for being nice though.

Looks like last year we had no one on either the pre-season or post-season all-sec coaches teams, so this is improvement.

2018 Pre-Season Coaches All-SEC:

2018 Preseason Coaches All-SEC Football Team announced

2018 Coaches All-SEC (Dec. 5, 2018)

2018 All-SEC Football Team announced

Pre-season All SEC is based on accomplishments, not potential (Trey Smith)

If there was a pre-season All Potential, then we have 3 or 4 on 1st team and 4 or 5 on 2nd team.

 

[clarencepeabody]

That’s because the All-SEC team has 4 defensive linemen and only 3 linebackers. And we run a 3-4.

 

[XknoxvolsX]

I'm willing to bet it has a lot to do with wins and losses. Like, the more you win, the more talented players you have on a given team. Obviously, to some respect, the more you lose means less quality players you have on a given team.

yeah, this

let's hold onto our excitement until the post season

 

[BornAndRaisedVOL!]

To get respect you have to earn respect. Going 5-7 the previous year doesn't inspire respect.
