Vols Spring Practice #8

[Vol865]

Milton still throwing slants 100mph and Nico missing passes high is a little worrisome. Hopefully takes care of itself over the next 6 months.

I ll take a 3 running back like Desean Bishop every year he is a baller.

I really really hope he provides some kind of production during his career..... I took a lot of heat for campaiging for him to be in this class, even as an NIL walkon. Love hometown hero stories, but know there is a risk. Just watched a lot of his replays and could not tell if he was for real or his competition was not, but would really hate a we missed a local star thread down the road.

Jamal was the top rated rb in the nation

Jasper Sanks was rated higher.

Lived in GA at the time those 2 RB were recruited. Jamal would have gone to UGA if they had offered but GA thought higher of Sanks and luckily that sent Jamal to us. Sanks never worked out even close to Jamal.

Jamal was the top rated rb in the nation

He was right up there with Jasper Sanks, I believe as the best RB in the country that year...Donnan chose Jasper...

Thanks Fingers! Hate seeing our top 4 receivers all sitting out with injury but hopefully the young guys make the most of the extra reps.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Am sure offense will come along...most glad to hear LBs are looking up.

"It wouldn’t be unfair, based on those we talked to, to say five-star freshman Nico Iamaleava had a better day than Joe Milton III in Saturday’s scrimmage. While the first-team offense struggled at the start, Iamaleava led a touchdown drive on his first series and looked really good. The freshman played poised and under control – in his first full-speed college scrimmage – and hit transfer tight end McCallan Castles for one touchdown and connected for at least one other deep ball."

lol. Milton is the unquestioned starter.

It’s interesting to hear the glowing reviews about Desean Bishop. All but confirming he was a very underrated pickup. I think he will have a good career for us, and be a solid RB.

Really happy to read Elijah Simmons mentioned positively. He needs to show out this year.

Until he loses to Florida and South Carolina and if that happens then it’s Nico time and you know it

My memory fails me...Nate Spillman isn't on campus yet, is he?

We talkin 'bout practice, practice, not games, but practice.

Yes it was practice and light scrimmaging, but you don’t usually hear coaches and players single out performances of a freshman who I think was a walk on. Not sure though.

You haven't figured out I'm one twisted and bent fan yet? This is my brain, and it isn't even on drugs.

I will take a Eric Berry freak of nature athlete every year

I think it’s finally time for Simmons to break out. He’s had all the hype for 4 years, it’s now or never.
