09 CA S Byron Moore - UT Commit

volmanbill is right about the driving lol

Dad told Wilcox he was a Vol according to Skeeter who,most would say, is the best connected poster here. Others reporting he will announce for Tennessee on Wednesday. That being said, Miami's message board believes he will commit to them, based on earlier comments by same father.

TheDooley is about as close to a lock as they come. He posted earlier that this was over after the rumors of the Miami commit. He just never stated if it was in our favor or Miami's. I took it to mean in favor of tha "U". He and skeeter are very seldom wrong and seem to contradict here. Something has got to give.

TheDooley has posted what has been out there before. He hasn't had one prediction that hasn't really had much doubt.

It's been said a lot that if we can get another talented safety in, then Jackson moves back to his natural position.

I've seen a lot of opinions, that's it.

IDO, Jackson is better at corner.

We will see Wednesday then.

 

[lylsmorr]

TheDooley's reputation is riding on the Moore commitment

IMO he can be the best overall CB in the nation.

Got the tools, for sure.

you cant discredit someone if they were wrong once...recruiting is crazy

TheDooley never stated one way or another, except to say it was over. I also caught that he and Skeeter contradicted each other; however when I reread what TheDooley wrote, I could interpret it in two ways.

Let's not bash Dad too much...Skeeter brought us the news but I doubt he was in on the call from Dad. It might be nothing more than Skeeter's choice of words...Dad might easily have said "my son is coming to UT but I was hoping it would be the U". Personally, I think if Dad was so adamantly opposed to it, he wouldn't have been the one to give UT the news.

This is a reasonable point.

I agree but I'm not the type that thinks everybody is gonna be good/ready enough year one.

You have to live with it though, at least right now.

na leave jackson, he's our best defensive player, put him were he can do the most damage to the other team. If we play SC and they wanna put him on alshon for the game, then fine. But on a normal basis, I say safety is where he's best for us.

The same can be said for the secondary. Based on this recruiting class we are going to look good in the secondary on paper, but none of these guys have played a down at DB for us. Teague has, and has grown into the role nicely. I see no reason he would be moved back to offense, especially considering how much work it probably was to move him to defense last year. That'd be pretty unfair to him.

I get what you are saying, but I disagree. The secondary, even if we didn't count Teague, will have much more experience than the WR core for 2011. Janzen, Waggner, Gordon, and Brewer all played in all 13 games and started at some point during the season. Out of the 13 interceptions our DBs recorded last year, all of them were recorded by DBs that will return for 2011.

On the WR side of it, we lose Moore, Jones, Stocker who accounted for 141 catches last year. The return WR core of Rogers, Hunter, Rogers, and even throw in Rivera is just returning 52 catches.

It is obvious that we have much more experience returning to the defensive backfield than to the receiving core.
