Not saying it wouldn’t be huge but tbh we’re in on so many big time receivers that I think we’ll be fine no matter what.

Dudes we get to watch a season of Nico and no Nick!

Yes agree, but the fact that is seems he's on campus already because of GM's push says a lot about the respect GM apparently has across the country with other recruits.
We also have seen this last cycle, that we were in on so many guys too and one by one they fizzled out over the course of the year. Would be good to try and get this guy locked up, or close to it this early.

But Saban will still be manipulating Sankey and NCAA daily and weekly.

Did I get that correct.

Lol yes.

Nico definitely looks like he's put on some weight. No idea what the number is, but I'd say he's about 10-15 lb from being exactly where he needs to be.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I was right

New numbers

No. 11 WR Chris Brazzell II
No. 12 DB Jalen McMurray
No. 12 QB Jake Merklinger
No. 13 DB Jermod McCoy
No. 14 WR Braylon Staley
No. 19 TE Holden Staes
No. 22 RB Peyton Lewis
No. 23 DB Boo Carter
No. 28 DB Kaleb Beasley
No. 30 DB Jakobe Thomas
No. 34 DB Marcus Goree Jr.
No. 47 LB Edwin Spillman
No. 50 OL William Satterwhite
No. 56 DL Kellen Lindstrom
No. 71 OL Max Anderson
No. 72 OL Jesse Perry
No. 78 OL Gage Ginther
No. 87 TE Miles Kitselman
No. 89 WR Mike Matthews
No. 99 DL Jaxson Moi

Shoutout Staley for 14. Boo for 23. And Matthews picking 89 pretty much solidifies that he will be mega elite.

Mike Matthews #89? I think that changes. . . #89 should be for TEs. . . or QBs

Mike Matthews in 89 doesn’t do anything for me.

If you’re gonna be in the 80’s, then you got to go with either #80, #82, #84, or #88.

an outside receiver wearing 89 is 1+ TD per game material, brother

Makes him .2 slower in the 40 and makes him easier to tackle though,

I am renewing my optimism for the basketvols. I don't think closing the way we did was a good thing, but if they use it to address issues it can be. I want them to regain confidence and knock down shots when it matters.

realistically he'll probably change it to 4 or 11 later

 

[BigSteve09]

Lance Heard looks like an SEC offensive tackle. John Campbell was flipped over to the right side and Trevor Duncan was with the offensive tackles today

good news on OL. Bookends looking strong. Need the interior OL to heal up but they say there's a ton of opportunity

Cam Seldon looked focused, poised to take advantage of the next month to get better

It's a good number, just dont see it a lot anymore, outside of TEs. Everyone wants single digits now.

#88 is greatest receiver # of all time ..

Old traditional receiver number. Always loved Tim McGee wearing 88.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Trevor Duncan working with the tackles is noteworthy

I don't recall a UT basketball team whose fortunes depended so heavily on one player. Maybe the early-80s teams with Dale Ellis. The Allan Houston teams weren't good enough to matter. I wasn't around for the Ernie and Bernie teams.

If Knecht has a mediocre game, the Vols are toast against most good teams. If he strings together 6 great games -- which he's done this year -- UT has a good a chance as anybody to win it all. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground. Nobody else has proven they can carry this team. They are all complimentary pieces to him.

DK needs to have a solid game and does have to be consistent for this team to advance far. However, NC State, Ole Miss, at UK, and at Bama were games where he had 16 points or less, and we won. The role players can do it, but consistency has been the issue. DK had 2 points against NC State, and we scored 79 points. We need Aidoo, ZZ, and JJJ just to be solid.

I'm honestly not all that concerned. We actually finished the regular season very well beating all the strong teams on the last part of our schedule...until..

The last two losses feel like the team just didn't get up for them. I'm betting the team 'gets up' for the NCAA tournament. With that said, please, no more disappearance on the offense. If Viscovi and JJJ want to find some offense, I'm not going to complain.

Andraya Carter picked Purdue to win Midwest bracket.

Thought she was a Vol ..
