'22 TN DT Walter Nolen (Ole Miss)

[orangerush]

We can revisit this thread in 2023 when he is available again.

Likely a bust if he hits the portal.

 

[VolzMan53]

Lol it will be fun to see this thread bumped in a year or two when he hits that portal

Chance it may never die and @frank has to make a Gruden 3 type move to the FF

[VolzMan53]

Done....turn out the freakin lights !

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Yeah guys never flip right? Just stop with the talking in absolutes. You have no idea why will happen between now and NSD.

…….he signed today.

 

[UTMVol76]

Actually, I'm glad he didn't end up at Florida, Georgia, or Alabama.

Just want to say two things:

(1) I think the negative analysis of Nolen in this thread is standard sour grapes from losing him. I think he is a great talent, who will be All SEC by his junior year. I'm glad we don't play A&M very often. They are about to get a lot better.

(2) Landing Tyre West does soften the blow a bit. Heupel and staff should be commended for pulling in a respectable class in his first season and while the program is under investigation.

The only question about Nolen IMO is his drive & commitment to be outstanding. The work hasn’t begun yet.

This would be my concern 100%

 

[LittleVol]

We got a former 5 star in West
4 star in Pearce
4 star Josephs at EDGE
Phillips kid already enrolled.

Good luck to Nolen.

He's not even from Knoxville really.

I'm more than happy with what we signed today.

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Nobody is soured over this loss.

Get real.

 

[C.watson]

If he is the best player in the nation then I have Margot Robbie and Scarlett Johansson on speed dial to come over for Quickies( they would be real quick)

As a full fledged Monday morning QB and a Couch patatoe Coach, I see a lot of quit in Walter but was holding out hope that Garner would be working on him. I now look forward to waxing his butt along with his overall yell squad in the SEC Championship game next year !

Fatigue makes cowards of us all. He’s not in shape. That’s the “quit” you reference. He’ll get in shape in Texas or he’ll be gone.

You talking about the gang at Hardee's? I'm glad he didn't sign with us!

 

[sjt18]

I'm happy with the guys UT got. I'd be happy to get Nolen.... if he comes with the right attitude.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Nolen sailed, that boot slide..... I am happy for the kids that came here. With the right portal guys and coaching this team has a chance for Atl. A lot has to happen but that Offense can score on anyone. If we get the defensive help we desire.... oh man it could be a fun ride.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

ATM is so appropriate for Texas A&M now.

 

[Jackcrevol]

i really could not care less that we missed in this kid

He's a drama king! Sometimes kids like him can really disrupt team chemistry!! We finally have a team that is not selfish thanks to coach Heupel and the assistant coaches!! I can't say how proud i am of the job they have done under very difficult circumstances!!

Throw in injury concerns and that’s basically why I’m not high on him .

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

No sour grapes from my end. I see tons of potential but zero heart, zero drive, zero passion to be better. Kid doesn’t have the attitude and mentality to be great. I personally didn’t want to waste a scholarship on him.
With the other big time DTs that A&M signed, I would be surprised if he see the field much at all and he will be a portal guy in 2 years.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Let him take the money like the Ohio St commit…and then transfer out ASAP.

Watching him in person a few times, he was a beast against lesser competition. He was not vs Maryville. He has the frame and strength to be a big time player. Whether he has the drive to get there vs SEC OL, remains to be seen. Such is the case with every recruit.
