JUCO Signing Day Thread...

[17Vols]

welcome aboard to the JUCOs that signed with UT today!!! too bad for Lambert, oh well, his loss.

It is hard to find people who keep their word. Frankly as much as I would have liked to have him, trust on the team is a big part of our foundation and if you start looking immediately after you verbal then you know you are in trouble.

I think with current commits and Carr, O brien, Jordan. We will be just fine.

With the exception of O Brien and Carr, their all DE'S.

With the exception of O Brien and Carr, their all DE'S.

In other words: we screwed the pooch again on defensive lineman.

With Barnett Hendrix Henderson and Thomas plus Vereen. Playing time here was not in his favor

Wrong. He would have started here. I normally try to avoid making definitive statements but this was a need and it sucks.

Hey what about that Kid that backed away from his commitment because he couldn't be an EE? Was he a JUCO where did he sign.

 

[sonofUT62]

With the exception of O Brien and Carr, their all DE'S.

Saulsberry and Vickers.

Are you serious?

Moseley is a DT...
Carr came in as a DE, he is now a DT.(which happens all the time)
Saulsberry is a DT.

He was a WR.

Brilliant, you must post more......:unsure:

 

[Vol knight]

We'll be fine guys.

 

[eVOLve]

We'll be fine guys.

Idk. We desperately need Dline help.

 

[volinbama256]

sidenote-- did anyone ever confirm or deny that Carr got a redshirt? Thought i saw him at the first of the season, but then didn't see him at all...

 

[AlumniChase]

Getting concerned about the DL position

You should be concerned about every position except WR. This stings but honestly how can you compete with Auburn right now...

 

[MrBiggles]

Not sure if any JUCOs are left on the board, but I do know the new 2.5 GPA rule was a concern for some coaches today in getting certain JUCO commits signed. Some were apparently expected to sign but were unable due to the new 2.5 rule (I expect this is what happened with Weatherd, too, but the coaches caught it sooner) so we could see a JUCO name or two pop up over the next few weeks because of it. No source, just know Crabtree from ESPN mentioned some problems there.

Based on Auburn's success all we need is a qb who can run a 4.4 40, run the read option, and make an occasional decent pass; coupled with a good running back and we're home free...oh and lucky plays (v Georgia and v Alabama).

Back to the topic at hand, I'm almost lost on Lambert's choice of Auburn. I mean as a Tennessee fan the recruiting under Jones is impressive and as long as the committed recruits sign we will be on the up and up. Not to mention Lambert could've started right away at UT, but then again watching the Auburn v Mizzou game, Auburn's defense didn't look so hot. Regardless, I have faith that we'll be tremendously better on both sides of the ball in the coming years with or without Lambert. Football is cyclical and we've endured the down time.

He didn't sign anywhere yet and you are talking about Dominique Booth '14 WR: Dominique Booth - Yahoo! Sports

Last I heard UT was still on him.
