Two new starters?

Tennessee Vols: 2 true freshmen will likely start for UT in 2019

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

To'oto'o and Morris. I'd be surprised if either didn't start at this point.

 

[XknoxvolsX]

Had some true Freshman on the defensive side last year start.

Is telling of where our program is at this point!

Perhaps, however every now and then you have true freshmen step it up in college ball (Hershel Walker, Derek Barnett, Tony Dorsett, etc). GBO!

It's early but I'm still expecting Wright to start week 1.

 

[VolsFan5]

with A.Taylor limited with injuries wouldn't be shocked if Burrell doesn't get a lot of run at least the first 3 weeks of the season

 

[RockyTopTexas]

Henry T and Jaylen McCollough


plus wanya

I agree, only so long Tatum can hold DW off.

Another positive from this will be our future recruiting classes...when Coach P sits down in a kids living room and says I think you’ll play right away at Tennessee, both the athlete and his parents will have several of the aforementioned examples to think about. This definitely could help us tangibly on the field, but also intangibly with future recruits!

Where is McCollough going to start? Warrior and Flowers have the safety spots locked down IMO, and I wasn't under the impression McCollough was running with the 1s at STAR.

I am so damn tired of starting freshmen! Damn!

We can continue to play Butch's players who are 4-18 in their last 22 SEC games...

While I agree with the sentiment, it's probably for the best that we just turn things over to the younger players. Take our lumps now and hope the experience they get this year pays off down the line. Really can't wait until we flip this roster.

Of course it's best. How many years in a row have we done it?

The fact that it is our best option doesn't make it a great option.

Ah that’s only going to be a legit message for about 2 more years. After that going to be difficult to break into starting line up!

Anxious to see if freshman OL player Dane Davis #66 will get some playing time this year?. 6`7 330

 

[majorvol]

If freshman are the better player option so be it

Most teams, even the real good ones start freshman. Even ala and Clemson.

Oh. OK. We're good then.

No can't do it...……….

Well I really don't know if tn will be good or not, I was just giving you a fact...

Anyone who has seen To'oto'o's tape shouldn't be surprised. He would start at most schools right away not names Alabama or Clemson. The guy is great and will only be here 3 years. We need to get the best out of him while we can.

I'm sure the same can be said for a 5 star player as well, in Wanya Morris.

I guess it's the ol' definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Of course, you can take that view from both perspectives. I guess at this point, I'll hang my hat on the young guns instead of the vets...and pray.
