Now that the 2014 signing class is in the fold. I think we should start speculating about position changes. Hurd will not stay at RB, likely moves to TE. Creamer will slide over to TE. Coleman Thomas looked rather lean. I see him as a TE in goal line situations. Malone looks pretty big from the pictures I've seen. Does anyone else think he slides over to TE?

DT for Malone

SIAP, but John Brice of VQ got the awesome privilege to hang out with Butch and everybody else in the War Room. He documented and detailed everything.

Brice said while the coaches were eager to get the faxes in, the true main focus was the 2015 and 2016 kids. Brice said, while he was in the War Room for those 5-6 hours, the coaches were able to talk to over 250 '15 and '16 prospects.

Azzanni told him that when Malone committed, he had his position nailed down so from there on out he has been recruiting next year's class every day for essentially 3-4 months now.

I know Thig gets a lot of the recruiting credit (and rightfully so), but I think Elder and Azzanni have done a GREAT job as well. Elder is on the Memphis kids and is responsible for TEs and STs. We signed a top 5 kicker, #1 LS, #2 TE, and Ethan Wolf.

I think Gillespie is really starting to prove himself as well. Getting Hurd, Paulk, and Scott is no fluke. I thought Jay Graham was pretty detailed in his coaching. Well Gillespie is on a different level and that's what it takes at this level.

"You get what you put in".... I think that phrase will depict the efforts of our coaches on the recruiting trail with the results of our upcoming classes. I will admit, I was VERY skeptical of this staff when they were first hired.

I truly believe not one other coaching staff in the world will out-work our staff in anything.

Just my thoughts, post signing day

Surrounding AJ with athleticism will certainly help him out.

True. How many freshmen are starting on defense by the end of the year? I say at least two. Hendrix has a shot. Wouldn't be super suprised to see Bates work his way in their. I think Gaulden makes a push as well. Maybe one of the Berrys. We've definitely upgraded in the speed department.

Lol at Eric "PB" Lauderdale. Here's a quote under a NSD article under the category "Best Signing Day Quote".
“I was gonna flip to Florida but they want me taking 11 units in the summer so ASU IT IS,” - four-star Junior College wide receiver Eric Lauderdale, who signed with Arizona State

I wonder why we backed off :lol:

Well the decision wasn't mutual it seems... Nothing that wasn't common sense.

Tennessee reached out to Orlando Brown’s camp on Tuesday telling him they wouldn’t be sending him a National Letter of Intent. He was going to sign with South Carolina State, his father’s alma mater, on Wednesday afternoon before receiving an LOI from Oklahoma and signing with the Sooners.

After watching these highlights and seeing some of those hits, I foresee a lot of reviews by the refs to determine if a player should be ejected from the game...and I'm not saying any of the hits are illegal...just vicious enough that they look illegal at real speed.

We keep saying it, but it's worth repeating: MarQuez North has flourished as a leader of the wide receivers this offseason. The rising sophomore has really taken a hands-on approach in helping teach his ultra-talented newcomers like Lavon Pearson and Malone, but he's also led by example with tireless work.

Also it was made clear that Tennessee is not done with neutral site games. In fact both 2017 and 2018 are real possbilities with the two possible cities being Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, Ga. It would appear that Atlanta in 2017 would be a game the Vols would like to set up. That's the year the Falcons are scheduled to open their new stadium.
