'11 TN OL/DL Antonio Richardson

[Montrell Hardy]

James will be put at LT if Dallas doesn't improve. If you want Richardson at LT, you are asking for Bray to get murdered.

Wouldn't surprise me at all in 2012 to have James as our starting LT and Richardson our starting RT.

Not goin to Barn

I am just glad to see us get several quality OL prospects this year to go along with what we already have. Competition will be stiffer this year, but will be even stiffer the year after once the sophomores become juniors and freshman become sophomores.

Looked like a road grader in the AA game.

His new family in Knoxville, that is!

It doesn't look like it.

I'm not bashing any of the kids. I love what last year's OL class brought and what we're bringing in this year. James is a stud, but it appears that the staff wants to keep he and Fulton together on the right side.

The #2 LT spot is completely up for grabs and with a little work from Tiny, the #1 spot is as well. That's all I'm saying.

Appears from what or who? I have seen it stated that there is a very good chance that James moves to LT next season and Thomas moves to RT.

Wow I hope nothing too serious in relation to his family.

Thomas needs to move to the right side of the bench.Somebody with speed needs to take his spot.Richardson is a vicious run blocker

Doesn't really change anything, but USC just got a commitment from 4-star OL Cyrus Hobbi.

Agreed. I've never been impressed with Thomas. I hope J. James is ready to take over.

amazing how they keep getting kids to go there.

Thomas' bad play this year was grossly overblown. He is not nearly as bad as the "expert" poster/evaluators on this message board think.

 

[OrangeDog]

I think Oku and Brown will be sorry they aren't wearing orange when they watch our O-Line these next few years...... with TINY

They are shysters, but stout recruiters nonetheless. The coaching remains to be seen, but debating their recruiting doesn't make sense.

Wow.Was that a jab?He is older than some of the other guys and made dumber mistakes over and over.He is a below average pass blocker and an average run blocker.He cant be a full time option next year.

 

[MTSUDaff]

I know I saw stuff about this in the past, and I am not saying we shouldn't take him because he is just such a huge talent. AND, at the end of the day I leave the real grading of any potential prospect to the coaching staff, but that said I know my best friend talks to a guy who referees HS football in TN and he has said on multiple occasions that Richardson is a giant pu**y on the field. Same ref glows about that kick returner they have that was a freshman, I believe, at Ensworth this past season. I'm sure someone knows who I am talking about, but it sounds like that kid is going to be a big time national prospect when it comes time...

Grain of salt, I know, but I believe the stuff about Richardson because my friend trusts this ref a lot and I have known my friend for about 15 years.

You can call it whatever you want. He is not nearly as bad as you Volnation-SEC-Coach-in-Waiting posters continually babble on about.

They want to sit beside Ben Franklin in class.
