Sorry not football related at all. But am on a Breaking Bad euphoria. And wanted to share with people.

Best show currently on TV. And maybe ever. Stellar stellar plot development. Amazing show.

Don't sleep on Vols true freshman receiver Josh Smith. Knoxville boy might have the best ball skills on the team. Will help this year.

Generally would agree but in this case the coach is fanning the flames and adding to the hype. Don't see that much

Not saying he will be as good as CP. but feel pretty confident he will be good and fun to Watch

Yeah I guess he's truly impressive if Coach is saying it. I would think he'd keep that a little closer to the vest and unleash him on teams this fall. Glad we got him though and I can't wait to watch him play.

I don't think that is true. It wasn't mentioned by Jones in the PC and every picture shows hm wearing the black stripe.

Also, you don't get an orange stripe, you just lose your black stripe.

Edit: Here is the exerpt from the UTSPORTS Volreport:

"With a new season comes a new tradition and this year, head coach Butch Jones has implemented the black stripe on newcomers' helmets. Freshman wide receiver Marquez North is proving to his coaches and teammates that he wants to earn that traditional orange stripe.

After just three days, North has the sidelines buzzing and his head coach talking.

"In three very short practices, and in a very small time, (Marquez) has proven he is going to be one of our play makers," said Jones. "He is dynamic, he is strong, he is physical, he can run, and we need him offensively. What you see is when your players bring him up, it is a level of respect right now that they have for him. He is extremely intelligent; he knows every single receiver position on the field already. We are very excited about him."

From the opposing side of the ball, North's performance has been noted.

"He's a big receiver with a lot of speed, so I'm pretty impressed with him," senior linebacker Brent Brewer said, "He's doing big things out there."

On the offense, his teammates are gushing after just three days of action.

"Marquez has done really, really well, especially his first," said tight end Alex Ellis. "We watched the one-on-ones with the wide receivers the last two days and he did really well. He kind of stuck out a lot."

With progression such as North and other freshmen have shown, it won't be long before orange is the new black. "

The idea that he lost his stripe came from a mislabeled picture of Vincent Dallas I believe.

Marquez North Senior Highlights - YouTube

:hi:

His highlights and skill set are no doubt different than CP but just as impressive imo. He doesn't have the start/stop of CP, but really who does? However...his straight line speed looks to be just as good and he is more adept at breaking tackles. He continually just explodes by people. Had he been on a prolific passing team he would have been one of the top 10 players in the country.

I saw it in a tweet from Rucker or someone. I bet pictures from today's practice show him with an orange stripe.
