'26 TN ATH Joel Wyatt

[Go Fight Win]

Yes this one seems like he’s playing it close to the vest. Anyone’s game

 

[Go Fight Win]

I hope we get him but we always have bad luck with athletes so I’m not going to meltdown if we don’t. He’s a crazy good athlete though so obviously it would be a great pickup

 

[Bigorangefaninga]

Nope, still aging like fine wine lol

We hav 7 scholarship wr’s this year, 4 who have never taken a collegiate snap, and only 444 total receiving yards

We lose one (Brazzell) after the ‘25 season and currently only have 2 committed for ‘26. Depth still is bad, and unless we pull keys and another wr, albeit from hs or portal, our depth is bad.

You want to fill a 2 deep bare minimum with players, especially at wr where we seem to be injury prone

You do understand that we also don’t play 10 WR? I mean we rarely play a 2 deep with WR unless we are winning badly and so we give some time at that point. But this offense likes having consistency as far as who plays, so I’m not worried at all about the amount of WR and truthfully some would have more yards if Nico could read a damn defense!

Not having a 2 deep rotation at WR, or at the very least a 5 man rotation, is why we’re going into year 5 with essentially zero returning production in that room. That has to change and it has to change this year

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Nope, but go on making those false narratives though

We’re going to be very good at Wide Receiver. Not going to argue. Just mark it down. Yep, I said it! GBO

Let’s change it and win 7 instead of 10. But we will have returning production.

Id love it if we were! That depth just scares me

 

[Adam Sandler]

Do we think this is bad or good? Like was set to announce us and postponed or was set to announce Vandy and giving us every possible chance to to convince him to stay home?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

@HoleInTheRoof can’t help himself. He has to take little childish pot shots at AP any chance he gets. How pathetic.

Umm, yeah that’s been so terrible for us for the years in which we have done this exact same thing! I mean with that rotation that we do play there is just NO WAY we can win many games lol

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Picking Vandy over UT for football is insanity. Unless you think being the only good player on your team and losing half your games is fun. Smdh

Him postponing it makes me think he would’ve picked Vandy in a couple days. Glad he’s come to his senses, and glad we’re willing to let him play safety. Would fulfill my dream of us having a 6’4 stud roaming on the last line of the defense.

5 WRs with 10+ catches in 2024. OSU had 4.

4 WRs with 20+ catches in 2024. OSU had 3.

43% of receptions by top 3 pass catchers for Vols in 2024. OSU 64% of passes caught by 3 WRs.

What’s your next theory?

 

[PowerT.]

Tennessee and Vanderbilt make up the top two for The Webb School (Tenn.) athlete Joel Wyatt. My prediction remains on the Vols as Wyatt continues to work through things regarding his process.

Are we comparing Brazzell/Matthews/Staley to Tate/Smith/Egbuka lmao

I think he’s saying the notion that other teams are rotating WR through like cattle and we only play 3 a year is overblown

I understand that but it's a lot easier when you have three NFL guys, whether that's Ohio State or even Bru/Tillman/Hyatt

 

[MarcoVol]

Uh no.

We’re comparing how many WRs caught
passes for these teams.

Thought that was clear by stating how many catches WRs had?

I picked the best team in the country to compare Vols.

But if you’d rather I compare to a team that finished near Vols (#9) in rankings then Ole Miss (#11) had 4 WRs with 10+ catches, 4 WRs with 20+ catches, and their top 3 pass catching WRs accounted for 56% of their receptions.

Yes I understand the catch total, but it’s going to be that way when you have 3 of maybe what the best 15 receivers in the country. That was my point

But if I use worse teams then posters will say “well ya but they suck”. So I went with the best. Strategy play.

They played their best guys the majority of the time. We played our best guys the majority of the time. Everyone played their best guys the majority of the time

Tennessee rotated last year

 

[LaagerVol]

Tennessee rotated last year

That was his whole point. Tennessee rotates as much as everyone else, depending on depth and circumstances. The narrative is that other teams rotate more, and it isn’t true.

 

[swampfoxfan]

And now back to the Joel Wyatt thread. I have a real belief he becomes a vol. With his ball skills I think safety would be a good fit.

You literally take shots at people all the time. Why can't he?
