'19 TN DT Elijah Simmons (Tennessee signee)

I've loved this kid from the start. Seems to have a great first step with power. We're going to have to give him a little leeway though. S&C will be his main focus. The kid needs a lot of conditioning. He has a chance to be a favorite for sure but lots of conditioning will be his battle.
 
Good thing Pruitt and crew had him camp and assessed every aspect of his game. Also, when a kid who weighs 350 can jump and touch a basketball rim, I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Also, being shorter in stature is not bad at the NT position for Pruitts defense because he is a hole filler. As wide as he is and with a strong base all he needs to be able to do is fill up space and not get pushed around. He is a bull rusher and being shorter gives him that much more power. Plus he has long arms.
Let's just hope he has better endurance than McKenzie. I remember the same kind of stuff being said about Khalil, but you've got to be able to play more than two plays before you have to take a breather.

Well at least he played his senior year so he's got that on McKenzie.

I never saw McKenzie dunk a basketball.
 
Think he plays right away? I wonder if he’s in the rotation this fall or if they plan to redshirt. He’s already big enough, just needs to get conditioning down and the mental stuff

Tracy Rocker talked about this at the signing day celebration...
Thanks for sharing Bass...I imagine i play this over and over several times. The kid seems to have it all. Love, respect. Terrific to have a kid like this on the team. Will be loved in the locker room I am sure. Hopefully we can get to hear some more of that singing also. That made my day brother
