'24 MS DL Kamarion Franklin (Ole Miss commit)

[Ron Swanson]

June 16 OV scheduled

The Volunteers hold a narrow lead in his recruitment and a lot of that has to do with the relationships he built with Josh Heupel and his coaching staff.

“Coach (Rodney) Garner, Coach Chop and Coach Heupel all recruit me hard at Tennessee and they have multiple coaches who recruit me almost every day,” Franklin said. “I’ve visited Tennessee four or five times and it’s great up there. Like Miami, the people at Tennessee are great and my relationships there are strong.

“They had a great season last year and that showed me a lot too. Coach Heupe; has them going in the right direction and Tennessee always lets me know that I’m not just a want, but a need. They want to build that defensive line around me.”

Keep Garner until he retires and hopefully Rob Ayers stays and is ready to take over the DLine from there.

Garner has a daughter that’s enrolled into Tennessee.

I don’t think he leaves unless it’s for an NFL position.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Garner is happy where he is at. GBO!

He’s coached exclusively in the SEC for 30+ years, he’s never gonna coach in the NFL at this point in his career

And Max Anderson. Not a 5* but still. If Heupel and this staff get all those guys? Look out. If we Matthews in Heupels system? With Nico? We could be looking at our second Bilitnekoff winner.

Plus Wingo, Fountain, Lewis, Tylen Singleton, Max Anderson, Ricardo Jones, Jordan Burns, Spillman, Boo, and O’Connell. Really hope we can land Reddell and Cai Bates too. Particularly Bates

He’s going broke

 

[DaddyChad]

He’s going broke

You and I have a different definition of broke. But yeah this economy has hurt him. That SPAC venture kind of blew up in his face.

It's looking like it. Pressure up front can help a defense tremendously as a whole. A great compliment to our high flying offense.
