Also, taking this kid from Muschamp makes it even sweeter!

Welcome to Rocky Top, Mr. Thompson!

Does this mean Muschamp is not undefeated against us?

 

[checkerboards09]

This board does the same thing when we lose one.

That’s our job as fans of UT. Bash others and do the same thing without caring what others think.

 

[HessHallHeath]

OK, let me get this all sorted out.

This kid can play RB.

He can play WR.

He can play CB.

He can play S.

He can be a PR.

He can be a KR.

He was the Most Outstanding Player at the Shrine game which is the best of the best from 2 states.

I think Pruitt and staff found a pretty good footVol player.

WELCOME to Big Orange country young man!

Yes ladies and gents, this is BOOM worthy.


BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!

VFL...GBO!!!

Pruitt is scouring the earth for stud football players and Fulmer's old strategy of moving players around and even playing multiple positions is definitely rubbing off on JP.
I'm excited but cautious but seems to me these guys wanna be competitive now, not 2 or 3 years down the road. We'll see how it goes but this staff means business when it comes to overhauling this roster for sure. Who knows this kid may a little of everything listed above as a freshman

 

[GameTime]

The kid definitely has talent..........

 

[OnlyGodForgives]

Haha. Of course not Behr....Florida, Alabama, and for the moment Vandy? Yes, those 3 do....but SCar? Nah.

I suppose it's debatable whther SC owns UT to the degree that the other two do, but no one can argue against Muschamp absolutely possessing TN in his back pocket. We make him look better than Saban.

Does he own UT.. or does he own Butch?

 

[VolEngineer]

That's what I'm wondering..

I got an Alert!! on your issue from Freak.

He doesn't like you.

:no:

 

[MemphisVol77]

According to jakez...

"247 adjusted the point totals, i don't think Rivals re ranks.

it basically swapped us and USCe, we're 19, and now they're 20."

That's why they don't own us

 

[Foster's Tacos]

Think this kid will play WR and Taylor will be moved to DB

 

[livefaith]

Great point!!!! I remember when this place was screaming Butch Stones, Brick by Brick and the SEC was gonna get Butch Slapped. Let’s give JP some time before saying we finally have a “real” coach

Uh-oh. Reality check. :-D

 

[livefaith]

i don't have any issue with that, and certainly can't blame anyone for taking that approach. especially since we haven't played a game yet.

i'll just say that up to this point, with what we've seen so far, it just looks and feels different. and right now, 'different' equates to 'better'. right or wrong.

and to that, i'd just say, looking at the types of coaches and players he's brought in so far, the structure around the football program, the support staff, s&c..... it 'looks' more like what it's supposed to look like.

so it is easier to feel more optimistic, understanding, still need to see the on field product.

Yep. Nailed it. Feels and looks great. Just like it did with Butch landing the top 5 class only one year in. :-o

 

[The Dog]

You sure Deion played some WR at FSU? Don’t recall that and I couldn’t find any offensive stats for him.

Nah, that was a pro thing for Deion. But, Carl Pickens and Mark Jones both, did it for UT. Pickens could have been an all-American at free safety. Deon Grant clone, ten years earlier, but UT and Pickens made the right decision. Imo, Pickens was an all-pro, Top 5 WR in the NFL for the Bengals for about 3 years.

 

[gunner]

I wish they would try both of the at DB initially. UT needs more help at Nickle and Corner than WR.

 

[orange parmejohn]

Does this mean Muschamp is not undefeated against us?

No, it is a just a sign of the proper pecking order lining back up in the SEC East.

Have no choice but to agree about Muschamp. 6-0 vs Tennessee at 2 different schools. It’s ridiculous. Thanks Butch Jones.

Understand all that. Was only talking about Deion....pretty sure he never played offense at FSU, thanks for helping confirm.

 

[HoptownVol]

Kudos to Coach Rumph, Thompson looks like a great prospect.

I think its time to finally recognize Muschamp as a good coach.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

I think its time to finally recognize Muschamp as a good coach.

Oh, yeah, he is awesome sauce.

Which part do you think was better, his 28-21 (57%), 17-15 SEC (53%) at Florida, or his 15-11 (58%), 8-8 SEC (50%) so far at South Carolina?

I mean, they're both so good.

The dude owned Butch Jones and Derek Dooley. Take those wins away, and he's sub-500 against both the world and the SEC at both schools.

Dude is a mediocre coach. No question. We just happened to have had even worse.

Dude is, once in a while, athlete

Does he own UT.. or does he own Butch?

UT. His ownership has spanned two of our glorious HCs, so he gets the whole State till it changes.
