Sold.

So he would be a regular transfer or a grad transfer? Either way looking like a '20 eligible guy? I like that, we will definitely have a need for some experience at WR next year and with two to play...Anyone know who the other schools in consideration are?

Absolutely. Would be huge to have him for 2020

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

He would be our KR guy.

I'll still read his name as Velvet Jones

Send an underperformer packing

We may have him for 2019, right?

RC said he's not sure, they are trying to verify if he will graduate prior to transferring

 

[VolForLife83]

Take

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I bet he commits also

Missed that, thanks.

 

[Montrell Hardy]

He's a take for sure. If nothing he's a starting WR in 2020. We need to address that in a big way. Adding him and Jarrett would be massive.

 

[SmokinBob]

Couple of good blocks in that first video!

 

[Catbone]

So he would sit this year and then have 2 years to play?

 

[jakez4ut]

that's the way i understand it.

Couldn’t he just get a waiver saying that he wants to be closer to home (he’s from AL) and the fact that USCs coaching staff looks different basically everywhere?? OCs changed (twice) not to mention his recruiter and position coach is gone. If Tate Martell gets eligibility anyone should be able to

 

[Sugaray13]

Haha. Thanks for pointing that out.

Finally, the Vols will host an intriguing transfer this weekend, as USC wideout Velus Jones will take an unofficial visit. The Alabama native was recruited to USC by Martin and two have maintained a close relationship. Jones has two years of eligibility remaining. He wasn’t overly productive with the Trojans, but he’s a speedy slot receiver and a KO return specialist, potentially filling two needs for the Vols in the 2020 class.

I’m wondering if Deangelo Gibbs will have anything to do with getting this guy. If Deangelo stays at wr do we pass? Or if he moves to DB to we try to lock him up?

seems like Jones is being looked at more as a specialist on ST for now...then as a slot WR. dunno what's going to happen with Gibbs. could go either way listening to the coaches....chaney wants him on O, Ansley wants him on D. if it goes to a cage match, i might take Chaney just cause...ya know...size matters.

lol.

if you have both on the roster, you have options....good problem to have.
