why do some of you get your panties in such a wad. dooley offered this kid in camp - loved what he saw. big kid, super fast. will play a lot next year as a cb.

why should we care what star rating was given to him by a service who's never seen him in person or play? oh wait. we do this every year.

there are a lot of 3 star players in the nfl. would rather have a 3 star who will work than a 4 or 5 star prima dona a.k.a. bryce brown

Odds are that there are more three stars that DON'T make the NFL than a 4 or 5 star.

i am excited about this kid, trust me. We need to get 4 and 5 star kids to compete in our conference

HELLO!? Have you been following Tennessee football over the last few years? We are not going to get 4 and 5 star players with the state in which the program is in now. Couple that with a depleted roster, we NEED core guys to build this program up I have no problem with Tino or any other 3 star kid that fits this bill!

ALSO, what people are missing is that picking up ANY kid from the Memphis area is HUGE. We need to have a bigger presence in Memphis....any open door is one we should walk through to Memphis. (Cue Mark Cohen).

True! if he's tall enough to jump with AJ Green & fast as hell, why is he the #72 athlete w/o good offers? I'm curious. & are we passing up "better" to set a precedent that we're going to wall off the majority of the top 10 in TN each year unless there's a good reason not to, & to let a couple go?

Hmm...

He was clocked in the 4.3s at Miss St's camp and in the 4.4s twice at Tennessee's camp and Ole Miss's camp. His 100m time of 10.68 is official and is blazing.

We seen them both in camp side by side and chose Tino. He is much slower than Thomas and is very small. Tino's commitable offer list is just as good as Blake's.

This is pretty much all anyone needs to know unless you just wanna be a worry wart. These guys know what they are looking at.

I like the pick-up personally, love his combination of size and speed. I'm glad we got another player out of Memphis as well. I'm sure I'm in the minority though.

No your not, most of us are like you, normal. But in life, as usual, the squeaky wheels get the oil. The people who constantly b!tch and moan are the minority. You gotta get on volnation to find em.

There aren't 10 SEC caliber players in the state of Tennessee.

zjc never has anything positive to say. I'm not even sure he is a Tennessee fan. May as well stick to the Michigan bandwagon now that they are winning again.

That must be it. I'm just a negative nancy that hates everything Dooley does. It's not like I have praised Dooley for keeping the 2010 class together, handle the BAR knoxville incident, a good gameplan against LSU and Florida, or bringing in the coaching staff we have know. Wait, I have. Is all you do is post derogatory things about other posters as you sit so high on your perch?

I'm not. I'm not a star guy. I am an offer list guy. I believe you can judge a player by his offer list. It's not a great offer list. Now, you want to talk Posey, Kerbyson, Worley, Martin and there offer lists, those are good offer lists.

I think you're confusing zjc with SGM... 10,640+ posts of pure dog crap.

It boggles my mind sometimes how people think I hate everything Dooley does, yet my sig is one of my favorite football quotes I've ever heard.
