They are a versatile group, those naysayers. You offer a guy without a bunch of stars already attached to his name and things must be going bad with every other player at that position and one wing of that group goes off. You don't offer a guy with the potential to explode his senior year and their buddies bash your evaluation skills and getting in late brings the NO EXCUSE crowd into play. Their common goals do incentivize them to LIKE guys posts from the other wings of the movement. Eyerolls abound.

Big guy with good ball skills, good blocker. Not super fast and kind of a long strider, but looks like he can play. Wonder why he is unrated

Have a buddy that says attitude, lives there and follows Moody High School football. Says he’s a very gifted athlete just body language sometimes is not great if stuff don’t go his way.

He was rated in the top 100 until he received an offer from the VOLS. They dropped him completely out of the rankings by the next morning.

That’s a great question. Last year you could have said well COVId and guys didn’t get a chance to get evaluated properly. Can’t say that now. Could he truly be one of those rare diamonds in the rough that our staff sees something none of the other big programs do? Yes. Is that likely? Who knows?

After getting a scholarship offer from Tennessee in late January, Davion Dozier didn’t wait long to take his first look at the Vols. He’s already planning to make the trip to Knoxville again soon.

The Class of 2023 wide receiver from Moody (Ala.) High School said Tennessee made a strong first impression on him March 5 during his visit for the Vols’ latest junior day. He said they’re “really high on my list” among his 11 current offers, and he intends to travel to Tennessee again in the coming weeks for one of its upcoming spring practices.

“It was great,” said Dozier, who’s ranked by 247Sports as the No. 121 wide receiver in the 2023 class and the No. 34 junior from the state of Alabama. “I saw a lot of stuff, how they’re going to be renovating (the facility) in a year or so. I was with Coach (Josh) Heupel in his office playing putt-putt with him.

“They’re really high on my list right now. I plan on going back for a spring (scrimmage), but I don’t have a set date yet.”

The 6-foot-3, 189-pound Dozier said he “honestly didn’t know” what to expect e before arriving on Tennessee’s campus for the first time. He said he had been “told how big the stadium was,” but he admitted “it was kind of shocking” to see it in person.

The highlight of the visit, he said, was simply “seeing the place for the first time” and getting a feel for the Vols’ fan base.

“When we went to the basketball game, (I liked) how the fans and stuff were there,” Dozier said. “And they were (saying) it’s, like, five times that at a football game.”

Dozier said the chance to play in the SEC is one of the reasons he’s high on Tennessee, along with “just the people up there, to be honest.”

“I mean, any place is big and can be good and all that,” he said. “But it’s really the people up there that I really liked about it.”

New Vols wide receivers coach Kelsey Pope, who was promoted from offensive analyst to replace former receivers coach Kodi Burns just two days after Tennessee’s junior day, spent plenty of time with Dozier during the visit.

“I was with him a lot,” Dozier said of Pope. “We were talking about who I remind him of in their offense. I forgot the receiver’s name, but he’s number 4 for them, too. He said I remind him a lot of (Cedric Tillman) and stuff like that. And then we talked about some stuff that I can work on, some stuff that I was good at and stuff like that. …

“I like him a lot. I could see myself playing for him.”

Tennessee’s fast-paced, high-scoring offense under Heupel also is appealing to him.

“I know they’re real Air Raid, and they’re quick,” Dozier said. “They were, like, I think number one in how many plays they ran per (minute) or something like that. I know we throw a lot down here, so going up there and being a receiver, I’d like to get to throw the ball around.”

He said the Vols’ staff impressed him and “was just different” from some of the coaches he has encountered.

“I mean, even if you didn’t go to their school, they would still support you and stuff like that, and that’s just different,” he said.

Dozier said he had “been talking to” the Vols on a regular basis over the past several weeks even before the visit. “But now, ever since the visit,” he added, “I’ve been talking to them a lot.” Less than a week ago, he spoke with three of Tennessee’s coaches — Pope, defensive line coach Rodney Garner and offensive analyst Max Thurmond — on the same day.

Lol I get you man. I would have too. Just don’t get why “Vol Fans” bashing other fans. Guess they have nothing else to do, but yeah just showing Vol love that’s it. It’s literally why they stay in social media 24/7 , just a new generation.
