27-30 Players not in Spring Game start Aug. 3

[KBVol]

Who are these people?

14 from the 2018 recruiting class
3, maybe 4 from the Grad Transfer route
Smith, Jennings, Hall, Bituli, DKJr, TKJr

That’s 23-24....guess there are 4-7 more that he clearly knows about that I’m not thinking of here

WR, Linebacker, Secondary, RB, TE seem SEC level. DL, Ol, QB need some convincing that they are in the top seven talent in the SEC. If we were playing in almost any other league we would definitely win ten. In the SEC hopefully we can get 4 to 5 wins and win all or at least three non conference games or somehow get to 8 would be a good season.

Secondary?? The Vols have huhe questions at CB and Nickel. Warrior is a player at safety but overall the Secondary and the Offensive Line are two of the biggest question marks on this team.

i just don't see the why so many have such a bleak outlook on the upcoming season. We should all know this team quit on Jones last year and still almost beat Florida, SC, Kentucky. We are just 19 months or so from the Vols beating V.tech, Florida, Neb, and Georgia. If this freshmen coaching staff can develop talent and doesn't have to many growing pains or key injuries I think we do surprise a team or two.

Lol, yep. I work 3rd shift so i dont get to bed till around 6. On sunday i get up at 0830 for church. Most days i dont get up till 2 or 3. It sucks.

No wonder, you’re on here so much. Done that shift a time or two myself .

If we finally get lucky on the injury front we may shock a team or two.

i think that's probably about right.

we win 6 or 7 games, and maybe included in that is a game or two we didn't think we'd win, and unfortunately, maybe a game or two we didn't think we'd lose.

i mean, if you told me we'd beat 2 of the Aub, USCe, WVU and/or FL and lose to MO and KY, i think i might be ok with that. :dunno: just can't lose to Vandy. i wouldn't be calling for anyone's head or anything if we did in year one...... but you just can't lose to them. again.

finish the recruiting cycle...and move on to the future.
