'18 TN OL/DL Cade Mays (Transfer)

Cade will probably play guard. I think this will be our o-line in 2018:

LT - Trey Smith (So.)
LG - Venzell Boulware (RS Jr.)
C - Jack Jones (Sr.)
RG - Cade Mays (Fr.)
RT - Marcus Tatum (RS So.)

Should be a very good to great offensive line.

I guess no one cares about drew Richmond anymore lol

I don't bow to that science. Trey's second year, that LT spot is open game imo...and that's IF Richmond represents this season.

I just don't see Trey at guard,now I could see Drew moving down to guard tho. JMO and I'm probably wrong as usual

I think Richmond shows out this year, but even if he doesn't lock down LT I think RT is his floor.

Every time we have this discussion I just smile. So. Many. Legit. Options.

I don't care what anybody says about Butch, this roster is night and day compared to what it was when he got here.

Actually he was abysmal all year. Hopefully he improves this season. But last year's performance was just awful. No other way to say it.

He may not be ready to be All-SEC just yet. But he didn't do bad for a kid that 12 months earlier was sitting in a high school history class.
 
I remember when D4H was claiming Richmond as some future all-SEC amazing linemen. And Coleman Thomas a a first rounder

That was based on watching his tape in high school. Then I was what he looked like against college competition and changed my opinion.

Similarly, Coleman Thomas regressed from his sophomore form. Remember before last season he was on the Preseason Remington watch list. I wasn't the only one impressed with his play in 2015. Coleman just regressed last year. He didn't gain any strength and lost the mobility that made him special as a center.

So in other words, you were wrong.

Coleman was hurt a lot of last year. Kinda hard to be mobile when you have a bum ankle.


Then maybe don't make predictions like that. SEC is a whole different animal than HS and NFL is a whole different animal than College. Saying he has potential to become that and guaranteeing that he will is 2 different things.

Dont follow recruiting very much. I have heard this kid is the real deal. Anyone know how good the competition he faces in HS is? Sorry dont live in East Tennessee, so i dont follow their HS ball closely.

Getting better, they play Fulton and I believe Maryville this year. That's two of the better teams in the area. They also travel and play Baylor in Chattanooga this year I believe, and they have a good team.

That poor kid was beat before it even started. Off balance and back on his heels. First thing he did was stand up instead firing off the ball. That being said Cade is a beast and one of my favorite recruits with Emerson

Looks like a pass blocking drill so he wouldn't be firing out
