'19 CA LB Henry To'oto'o (Tennessee Signee)

[T Dog]

IMO...one of the biggest things about this pickup is it allows us to leave Banks at RB...I think he would probably be there regardless...but now I definitely think he stays...and I think if he can learn to hold onto the ball he will be a great “Thunder” to Chandlers “Lightning” in our backfield

In one of the pressers when Pruitt mentioned RB's he said Banks as well as Carlin with the usual suspects. Did not here Fant's name.

Thank goodness. I can finally put to bed all this silly Banks at LB talk.

 

[shoney]

Isn't his family moving with him? Is his dad "Moving on up" with a cool new job?

 

[T Dog]

Guesses on how much weight this kid can curl?

imo

Yep, then someone pressed him about it in another question and he said, we haven't really talked about it.. Think he told the truth the first time..

 

[butchna]

“No insider” but I never wavered on this kid once Callahan put his CB in. That was the nail in the cuff in for me

How about when he took it back?

 

[MEDVOL]

Very late to the party, but big time boom. I think this kid is gonna be ridiculous for us.

I hope they don't get playing time strictly by seniority.

They won't. Pruitt started two true freshman CB's for most of the season. He will play the best player regardless of age. Unfortuntely I think that, mainly because of injuries and time missed because of that, DKjr will be more of an afterthought. He has lost a step and the LB position has seen a major influx of talent in the last 2 classes.

Side note. It seems like Rumph did not play much of a part in the recruitment of the last 3 high-profile players we signed at LB (JJP, Crouch, Henry T.), even though he coaches that position group. I'm sure that he has gotten some players to Knoxville but for the high profile LB's it seems we rely more on our other heavy hitters to close the deal. Maybe he is more of a player development, more-so than a get out on the recruiting trail guy.

 

[Glitch]

Have the usual LOM posters even acknowledged that Pruitt signed Toot? I haven’t seen them.

Oh, I know. I just like rubbing a little extra salt in the bamer wounds.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

That is the absolute best description for that moron.

Lyle's cringe factor is on another level. Like brady mouth kissing every dude he comes across type cringing.

It was just a faint to take pressure off the situation on both Pruitts part and Banks. I watched some replays of Banks at RB before the fumbles occurred. He is one tough guy and expect him to be much better this year Newt.

Some people are just not salesman. For instance I couldn't sell fire to an Eskimo.

No it wasn't. He slipped up and showed his cards. Take it to the Banks..

 

[justwatch123]

How about when he took it back?

Who did he change it too? I thought it stayed the same once he put it in

Changed it to cloudy with a chance for meatballs.

Banks would have never played meaningful LB snaps. Just look at him. Thick base, pretty average strength/frame in the upper body. He’s designed to look like a RB.

 

[Milehigh_Vol]

Question..... Proper pronunciation of his last name?

Tuh-ohta-oh... IMO...

But here we go..

 

[ScottishVol]

Changed it to cloudy with a chance for meatballs.

And didn't change it back to the good guys until Wednesday the 6th when it was pretty much apparent Henry T was committing to us.

Could just as easily be exerts from VolNation. I've seen the same kind of garbage posted here..... Recently.

The only difference is, you'd NEVER see a Gump (or a dawg on their boards, or a gator on theirs) tripping and falling over themselves to take up for us, or talk about how great Pruitt is, or how great our recruiting is, or to run down their programs and coaches, over and over and over again on a day after day after day basis, the way you do here.

You may have people trying to be reasonable; but, for MANY of their posters to do it, to the point of questioning whether they're a fan or a troll...no way those three sites, combined, have as many as there are here.

Toe-uh-toe-uh... no pauses... Callahan said it on ESPN The Zone Chattanooga a few days ago... confirmed in Henry’s presign speech when he gave a shoutout to his To’oto’o clan

Thank you, I didn't know if it was To-o-too or something like that.

 

[onevol74]

The aftermath from the gumps. Phil lives rent free in their heads... Sweet, sweet tears...

What is really funny is that when we play by the same rules as Bama they are not as hot as they think they are. Their assumptions are just that.

Sugar, I am definitely NOT one of those you describe in the words preceding what I bolded. I simply made an observation. So am I misunderstanding you or are you specifically calling me out here?
