'20 AL DE Jimari Butler (Nebraska commit)

[SCvol333]

I'm still shocked that E Mo is starting for a 8-0 team in the NFL.

Truly amazing how many games we managed to lose with players that ended up on nfl rosters

 

[rocytop2624]

What?
No.
He's already 220 without our SC program.
He's born with that quick twitch. Adding muscle is not going to make him slower.

He could contribute next year probably.
Some people don't understand...it didn't matter that this kid hadn't played football since 7th grade. He came in this season and dominated because he was always able too.

He's always been a good football player. And the basketball is a huge asset, because he's been doing explosive training.

This dude can be as good as he wants. Just God-given ability...

Even better play the man.sounds like a TE

Should’ve listed him as a TE so we could switch him to an Edge.

 

[tn4elvis]

having coaching and a guy like Sherman who has had success wherever he has gone helps i bet

For sure.Great example for Emo to follow

This thread reminds me of the Roman Harrison thread last class. Unranked at first and everyone complaining about stars. Great athlete and measurables that Pruitt identified. Then once UT signs the recruiting services begin to evaluate film and rankings rise. Harrison ended up a 4 star.

Harrison looks the part and I’m really excited about him in the future. A lot of us just want some instant reinforcements off the backs of a de commit and a commit to Auburn. we need guys like this just as bad to build depth too and I hope he comes here and dominates.

 

[Volnut]

It looks like he has potential once the nutritionists and trainers get a hold of him. Any chance he's an EE?

Welcome to Big Orange Country Jimari!

Neither Ojulari nor Hardy were going to start next season...removes the INSTANT need.

SIAP, but Butler went from not being ranked in the composite at the time of his commitment to the Vols to now being the No. 777 overall player and No. 32 WDE.

I submit this as exhibit one billion on why rankings are random arbitrary bs used to generate clicks amongst fans.

 

[EdEcEko77]

Rankings gonna climb again. Probably to the 4 Star or borderline mark.

247 hasn’t even evaluated his senior film yet. Last eval was 9/30.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Listening to the 247 sports pod about this kid and he is definitely this years Roman Harrison.

 

[Pepe]

Hopefully the coaching staff can convince him to not take those trips

I think the better tactic is to let them take their trips and have their fun.

How is Roman Harrison progressing this season? I haven’t heard much.

Not much on stats but he has played in almost every game.

Only has to jump 20 or 30 WDE to be relevant.

Our starters are playing well this year (knock on wood), and we even have some rotational talent at certain positions. I'm not understanding all this "we need immediate help" talk. We need depth.

Good deal. Develop develop develop!

And development of future depth.

Yeah he is learning a new position, he will get there!

These guys couldn’t line up correctly to start the year. We are greatly improving and I agree they are playing light years better but we lose Taylor and have no elite pass pushers.

How do you know that? Our best pass rusher graduates this year and depth isn’t there yet.

 

[jakez4ut]

He's probably right about starting.

They would have both played. A lot. Like...a lot.

Lol

Still have Bennett, Johnson and Harrison. Taylor’s always been great...in short bursts. He’s replaceable. Easier with our DL play and they’re almost 3 deep.

Hardy wouldn’t have played much. We return all 14 scholarship DL and he wasn’t enrolling until the summer. He might’ve played 8-9 snaps a game at the most as a freshman.

Also if Crouch goes back outside he’ll definitely start.
