Freshmen Report?

[Bo4vols]

Can someone tell me when the freshman report. Hopefully this is the year we surprise everyone!!!!

 

[TennesseeT]

I would imagine all freshman are at least on campus at this point. But don't know for sure.

 

[zjcvols]

It doesn't matter when they show up b/c none of them will make an impact on the field this year.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. You know know with injuries and all. A player or two could get some decent playing time

I'd say someone like EJAW, Walls, Lathers, or Bohannan could make an impact on STs. Other than that you are probably right.

Depending on Hardesty's health, Tauren Poole could get some reps like Creer did last year

Maybe but I hope Hardesty is healthy enough to not have that be an option.

of course

If Marlon Walls can get into school this year I think he can make an impact.

 

[zjcvols]

Okay, I'll give u poole (possibly) and a LB (probably not), but other than that, there won't be any impact by anybody. I think there is an outside shot Preston Bailey could play b/c he's big and one injury to a backup would really hurt the OL depth. so possibly three compared to a/b 8-10 last year.

If Marlon Walls can get into school this year I think he can make an impact.

Agreed, If Walls is in, he gets solid PT and makes a big impression. Wagner, EJAW, Bohannon, Austin Johnson, and Aaron Douglas all get significant playing time. This class was ranked so low because of depth. There is still SEC talent.

It depends on what you consider significant playing time. The only way somebody like Wagner sees the field is on ST, and I doubt that.

Special teams and backup safety. We have little depth at safety and Wagner has talent.

I see a redshirt season for Wagner. We had much worse depth issues at DB last year and we had a couple of guys redshirt. Rogan and/or Willingham will be able to provide depth at corner and safety.

Willingham will be a starting corner and will see no time at safety barring injury or suspension. Rogan might be the other starter and so far has been a corner not a safety. I think Wagner has special talent and the confidence to be an SEC d-back. He will play this year in the secondary.

Let's say Morley goes down with an injury. I expect one of the two to move to safety and the other to stay at corner. Both have practiced at safety. Wagner is similiar to Paige last year, he needs to put on some weight.

Wagner will definitely need to put on some more weight before he is SEC ready. He is said to be a lock down type of corner so maybe if he puts on a little weight during the season the coaches will give him a shot a playing a few snaps. I dont know why but I have high hopes for this kid.

 

[zjcvols]

Okay, barring significant injury, then nobody will get important pt.

Yes because Freshman never get to play at UT. Just ask Ainge or Berry. Or for that matter Manning :crazy:

Special Teams aren't important?

 

[hardhatvol]

ben barthomew fb, taurean poole rb, austin Johnson FB, walls lb...those will be the 4 that could see snaps not including special teams....

not a freshman but gerald williams (juco) will see snaps

We have no Eric Berry or Peyton Manning coming in for this class.

 

[TheVol]

Reports are that Herman Lathers came in the beginning of July and looks really good. He is very athletic and can run. Sounds like he will at least get special teams work and mop up duty.

 

[DC Vol]

Special Teams aren't important?

With our track record you would think everyone would think so... but sadly not.

I could see some of the incoming freshman making some key ST contributions.
