So the mock drafts ive seen have ty going late 1st early 2nd. At this point he is my number 1 that's realistic. Where is he getting this grade?

NFL scouts watching his game tapes this season. His realistic grade would be after Combine ....which isn't til February or March.

I think this may be where we are. We kicked the tires with guys like Sorsby and Leavitt, but their price tags are too high. So we're going to see what happens with Simpson and Aguilar and if neither of those guys are options, just bring in a guy to compete, but who doesn't break the bank, because we're fixing this defense.

You referring to Josh Hoover from TCU? He was at Indiana yesterday doing a visit I believe... Cignetti is after Hoover pretty hard.

On the Simpson rumors...AP has previously said on the VQ podcast that Ty was close to hitting the portal and coming to UT before we had to get Aguilar. Evidently the issues between his dad and Heupel were a bit overblown and everything is fine there. Ty supposedly still has some affinity for UT.

And there were also points in his recruitment where he almost flipped to us

He’s not going to hit the portal if he’s going in the draft

one or the other

Don't believe I posted Simpson was going to portal. I said there's no guarantees that Simpson would come here since he is considered a 1st round draft pick.

Cause we would essentially know we’ve got our guy

It will go extra bananas when he then commences to commit to some random school with a random school.

The portal BIG FISH has replaced the recruiting one that annually popped up. Last year was Carnel Tate and the year before was Tate Ratledge.

His draft grade is available now. He has to declare by January 14th. The combine will provide more clarity on his likely position, but grades for underclassmen are already available. They have to have that info to decide whether to declare or not. The NFL Combine is way past the point of no return for early entrants.

Seems like we are betting on Joey getting another year

Which is fine. Please pay for difference makers at every level of the defense

After reading SF's message, and it occurred to me. We've been through this before, right? (I'm talking aloud here).

My question about passiveness in porthole, and why we arent paying the Adidas money early, was answered with logic. Dudes entering the 'hole early have known their suitors for a minute, and are desiring money. Their suitors are overpaying.

Tennessee knows what it needs, and is using analytics, conversations, and leg work to get er done. I admire that.

Also, back to we've been here before. Tennessee has a history of keeping things close to the vest, as is logical. Why let your competitor know your intent? This will drive up the price.

Additionally, more players are entering the 'hole' daily. The LB from PSU. Id say the big board we were given was the pacifier to shut us up. But the real board is a large, fluid one.

The dudes in the hole now are just seeking money. Likely very few future pros, those dudes are already locked down in deals. As far as QB, why would we pay $3M US when we even have a snowballs chance at getting Joey? Dude is everything we need, he pissed excellence at every facet of intangibles, from leadership attitude, want too. We all know second year in this system....

Ive got a feeling, always have we get Joey back. We were good enough on O to be in the Playoffs.

We needed a RB. Galvanize the line.

Get a championship defense.

I really dont like banking on a decision that may or may not happen this week, a decision we arent even sure the outcome of. And even if Joey does get another year of eligibility, would he want to use it
