Tennessee's "Potential" DL in 2013....

[UTMark]

That's a lot of seniors - especially juco seniors - need to get out of that trend ASAP or 2014 will be needing some help.. Although we may need to continue the trend since we started it and will be in bad shape with out jucos when those guys graduate.

I'm always in favor of taking one or two JUCO DL a year. They are physically and mentally more mature. If they are eligible, you can figure most won't flunk out before their playing time is up.

True, because you look at Florida and Alabama and look at all the 5 stars that are on the D-Line.

Jacques smith was highly regarded and Jordan Williams looked like a stud last year as a true freshman

Agree, but I think Dooley was really smart in getting the juco DL, I doubt he is worrying about 2014...

Can we have a discussion about stars without someone bringing up Jack Horkheimer?

What I meant by this....hmy:....is the poster was discussing the possibility of McCullers going pro after next year when he hasn't played a down of SEC football yet, hence the...hmy:...from me.

Fair

OK .... I believe we have upgraded our coaching staff this year. I truly believe every move that was made in the coach staff changes last year was an upgrade. I hated the loss of Lance Thompson & Peter Sirmon, but we do have a good staff only time will tell. ......... OK
