I don't think anyone knows yet...

definitely a possible stud...we may see him sooner now that we have a coach who will evaluate talent instead of years in school

WAY to early to call him a dud. He played QB in HS, nobody expected him to come in and play first year.

Should see signs either way this year, according to Kiffin, any job is open.
Except EB's

I go to UT, and heard from a couple of people close to that situation that he might get the boot for failed drug tests. apparently there was alot of sketchiness going on with drug screens in the CPF era....

One of my best friends played for UTK for 3 years, and another one of my friends used to deal to some of the sports players during the Jamal Lewis and Vincent Yarbrough days while we were in high school. From what I've heard from both, back then if athletes failed a random drug test that was sporadic then they would get tested a little more often. If they failed again, more tests. If they failed again, more tests. And finally if they failed a 4th or 5th time, they usually got the axe and sometimes just in trouble depending on who the player is. Apparently (and I did see this with my own eyes once) alot of the players switch to drugs like shrooms when they are on their last strike as it stays in the body alot less than the mary jane (which was the drug of choice). It's a scary sight being a skinny teenager seeing loads of huge UTK football players running around trippin, I'll tell you that.

Selling weed isn't exactly the worst thing in the world, but whatever.

EJ reminds me of a Kiffin WR though, big guy with good athleticism.

I know! Most people don't realize it would be legal over alcohol if the gov. could figure out how to make money on it...

It isn't hard to figure out how to make money on it -- even the government can figure that out. It is illegal because politicians generally don't get elected on a platform of "let's legalize weed."

Sounds like a party to me! But then again I am 6'6''.

Not quite as frightening.

But still frightening.

How exactly is the government going to make money off of something I can do in my closet, attic, or garage and supply enough for me and 10 or so of my friends? It takes a lot of time, money, and effort to make good alcohol at home. It would take a field of tobacco to supply enough for that habit. A seed, some water, a little tlc, and voila!

Back on topic we've been needing a big WR for some time now.

I have seen this kid and he is a specimen for a WR and would produce a matchup in our favor anytime he lines up as a reciever...I have said quite a few times that we need to get him in the game but I knew there was more to it because he never even seen the field in the JV game

My neighbor is a homebrewer so I haven't bought beer in a while either. It is a very simple process (as easy as growing plants in your house) and something tells me the gov't isn't really hurting because of it.

From what I have heard though is by the time you buy bottles, ingredients, etc. you only come out slightly ahead per 6 pk.

Economies of scale (lower price per unit when purchasing large quantities of items like fertilizer, land, lights, etc) will make it much more affordable for large industry to mass produce any product like this. Add that to America's ever-increasing desire for convenience, and you would easily have a market. I'm not saying that there wouldn't be people growing their own, but it would be much easier for most who would desire that product to go out to a local store and purchase pre-packaged items than to learn and implement the basic gardening skills it would require. Also, the reason people don't grow tobacco has more to do with the curing process than the growing process, plus people want the convenience of pre-rolled cigarettes and cigars.

Anyway, this is way off-topic, but I just wanted to add my $.02

Yeah we need some good WR. I dont really care how big he is as long as he can catch the ball. Of course we still need a QB that can get it to him.

I was joking. I agree with you. It's hilarious though because weed is a great example of how perception can brainwash the masses. In high school and college I got to debate the legalization of marijuana and CRUSHED my competition in both debates. It's laughable that people consider weed more harmful than alcohol in my opinion.

In graduate school, me and a group of three others had to create a business in our Entrepeneurship class. The middle aged guy in my group suggested we start a brewing company. Ultimately my financials were just too powerful for him, and he actually implemented our business plan and started the business the next semester. I'm just waiting to start collect royalties if he creates the next Sweetwater...
