Per Barton Simmons, Kirkland is an "upgrade" over Cherry:

"I think Cecil Cherry was a good player, but he is a purely in-the-box, first-down, second-down type of linebacker," Simmons said. "He's a thumper, but he's not a guy who's going to give you a lot of versatility in coverage. I think Darrin Kirkland is a kid who does give you that versatility. He's an athletic guy. I think that was a really nice pickup there by the Vols."

I think most of us thought this anyway, but a little backup never hurts.

He's definitely more athletic and rated considerably higher on both 247 and Rivals. I was disappointed they missed on him the first time around as I think he moves well enough to where he could have even played OLB in college. Things worked out nicely for TN here.

 

[Catbone]

Kirk is more of every down backer

+1. Kirkland won't be a liability in any situation or on any down IMO. I'm ecstatic we got a second chance with him. Kirkland and Smith are a terrific haul at LB this year. The addition of Sapp would just be gravy.

 

[Chuckie]

Think there is a chance of Kirkland switching back to Michican't if Harbaugh takes the Job? :loco:

I thought he signed his LOI at the announcement ceremony.

 

[Catbone]

This is how I envision CB, to a t.

All its missing is a razor and scars on the cat. And anti depressants. And a blow up doll.

He signed his FAA papers.

Ya, that cat can't be more than 2 years old...

 

[NTBVOL]

When do all of the EE's move in for the spring? January 5?

 

[Falcons02]

That... that was funny.

If Kirkland leaves us, we are on the tab for some violations.

 

[thetennlegend]

He virtually signed and will be on campus next week.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Why would he leave? Hes about to enroll. Stop worrying like little girls.

I'm not worried, but I wanted to point that out.

 

[Vol Main]

That's right. Worry like a boy...or a grown ass man!

What do you mean?

 

[VFLBerg]

What do you mean?

May be referring to this:

"As a part of its April meeting, Division I Legislative Council members decided that schools may continue to recruit with relaxed recruiting rules prospects who sign financial aid agreements for mid-year enrollment. But if that prospect does not enroll at the school, the school will be considered in violation of recruiting rules."
