Great. Keep sharing. JRM is a player I like in that class that I haven't heard much about. Glad he's doing well. Seems we will be stacked at safety come next year at this time.

I know Hurd was a Jr and JRM was a Sr., but their match up last year was phenomenal. JRM is a very talented player.

It looks like Matt may actually be on to something...

Yeah, I don't doubt DP has reliable info but he came off as a pretentious a** towards Matt--whose always been reliable with info, as well.

One thing to think you're right, another to act like you're the only one who's privy to "inside" info.

"Speaking of merchandise, as we've continued to outline Tennessee is in the process of examining and then negotiating its apparel deal moving forward, with its pact with adidas set to expire following the 2014-15 athletic calendar but resolution coming well before then. Both Nike and Under Armour have emerged as serious players, and VolQuest.com has been told that coaches in Tennessee's spring sports have been urged to order their needed items but to focus on simply ordering replacements from a year ago and not to branch out into all-new items."

I though Deerpark was a verified 100% sure fire insider. Is that still true? My perception of reality is shifting and about to crumble.

I thought the dispute was over the issue of Adidas being a bad partner and their equipment causing injuries. That seemed like someone (i.e. Nike or UA) poisoning the well before the negotiations start. I don't recall anyone disputing the fact that the negotiations were going to happen.

DeerPark said Nike would never give us a serious enough offer.

Weighing in on the TEMPERED EXPECTATIONS, and concerns from both Vol fans and rivals that if we lose a to be determined threshold of games, we'll be elbowing for position to jump off the most effective bridge....I ask this. Before last season, as in previous seasons, I felt confident and excited...this was the season that Dooley puts it together. Healthy explosive offense and solid defense with a firebrand hungry DC,who was indoctrinated in that Saban machine....HOW COULD WE LOSE?....wellwedid...and...often. Point? By midseason, it was obvious that our Vols were going nowhere. Our coach was surely gone and no way in Hades was recruiting going to be a diversion while other teams bowled...our previous respite...and somehow, through the pain, WE KEPT GOING...cuz it's football...a game we love and cultivate in our lives...LIVES! We have those things and we keep doing that life thing....even and especially when our favorite team blows. The majority of Vol fans backed Dooley until the middle of last season...when he FINALLY convinced us that his plan didn't hold water...orange Kool-Aid drinkers that call for the coaches head after a few losses?...How does that jibe with this fan base...WHO fought off strokes and general heart palpitations with the the LSU travesty and Music City BLOW that first year?...these guys. Who saw our team consistently quit or tire after halftime almost every game, and then lose to one of the worst Kentucky teams in history...WITH A FREAKING WR AT QB...theseguys. Who went right back into the stink last year, with a team that mostly quit BEFORE HALFTIME, and endured probably the WORST coaching display in our storied history?....theseguys. So, in summary, don't tell us to sit on our hands and not get excited at this energy that Butch has brought into our program because we can't handle results...let the results happen...we're awesome handling them...who do you NOT need to worry about?....theseguys. GO VOLS...BRICK BY BRICK!

On Maggitt.

"He said he has made significant strides the last three weeks. He said he is still taking it day by day and that he feels good right now. Clearly he is going to be limited early and they are going to be cautious with him. But he's excited be back out there and his first goal is to get to 100-percent.

He was complimentary of the work the strength staff has done with him to get him back with his rehab and to get bigger. He's currently 243 and is the strongest he has ever been."

Ok after going back and looking at the argument a little, DeerPark still looks to be an insider, even with this new info.

Maybe Matt just took a little info and went too far too fast with it.

Matt mentioned something about the Adidas footwear be so substandard that they caused injuries...DP disputed that claim and said he was FOS, basically.

3 DTs every class means you have 12 total DTs for a spot that requires 2. That's a 6-deep bruh.

I understand that, if they're spread out evenly like that. But ours aren't currently, at least not top-tier-SEC talent DTs. Also under doesn't necessarily mean 3. Though we assume and hope 3 is the minimum

Also, aren't DTs the most heavily rotated players on the D? Short yardage, passing downs, etc, it would seem a rotation of 6 solid DTs would be optimal. That means you need at least another 6-8 in development.

I would say the DL in general. It would be nice to have 4 good DTs and DEs at least

Wow!! Did no one catch how much weight Vereen has put on since the spring? 20 pounds! This kid is going to turn out to be a beast! He will log serious minutes as a true freshman. Also, Maggitt up to 243 is stout. Am very excited to see the new look, well conditioned Vols.

was reading through the thread and it stood out the most to me. i was surprised to see nobody talking about it. 20 lbs is a lot to gain in that short amount of time considering our players are gaining muscle and not fat
