Not trashing a guy that worked hard to earn a scholy but a former walkon with no game experience at LT concerns me
I don't remember Gilliam being any more of a liability than those who've played LT since... including our recently departed 5*.Yes it is a concern, but that's the state of our program right now. It's not different then when Jacob Gilliam had to start at LT in 2014. A lot of time between now and the beginning of the season and we do have options like Calbert and possibly Mays or Wright. If Davis proves to be the best, then so be it.
That's plain stupid. It really is. If Maurer beats out the other two and uses his physical ability... then his part of the season will be just fine.
Agree completely except that there isn't much doubt that Maurer has the strongest arm and is equally fast with Hooker. Hooker is a better runner... but Maurer has good speed. Reporters have noted some inconsistency in his throws. He'll have to clean that up. OTOH, at least one of those reporters appears to have a pretty strong HB bias. Their edited video only shows him... and they don't mention anything negative he does.Agreed. Really seems like Maurer has put in the work to get his life straightened out. I hope that’s the case. If he wins the starting job then I am completely fine with that. For all we know he may very well be the most talented QB we have. Whomever wins the starting job, I will support and hope that he has a great career here.
yeah, sad story. I remember that kid. He wore the Drew Carey glassesArkansas had a walk-on lineman that became all-SEC and was a first round draft pick. I believe he died in a car accident a few weeks before he was to report to NFL camp. There’s a movie about his life on Netflix.

I believe he is rehabbing from shoulder surgery.Why is Jeremy Banks not at practice?
Think it was Price who said “clean up” earlier in the week. That could be medical or not. Anyone ask Price to clarify?
Maybe he’s cleaning up his room. Or maybe he’s participating in a citizen Ride Along program with UTPD or KPD. Maybe he’s on honeymoon with Officer Blondie. Possibilities are endless..
He contributed to the “Stoener fumble” in the 98 UT/ Ark game. UT def. lineman Billy Ratcliff pushed him backwards and the Ark lineman stepped on Stoener’s foot causing him to fall and fumble the ball.The movie called “Greater”. I remember seeing it in theaters. It actually has a little Tennessee in there too. I would highly recommend it
