'25 Washington St Transfer DT David Gusta (Kentucky)

[DaddyChad]

We couldve used this guy.

We are gonna have to step it up in the portal

Meh, retention is the most important thing. He went to play on a team that will be lucky to win 4 or 5 games with all the turnover

I'm sure he turned down both A&M and Tennessee to play for Kentucky.

I’m thinking Kentucky needed him more and paid like it. Tells me either we passed or he was more worried about up front money than getting to the league for a big pay check. Tennessee or A&M both much better for the resume.

I don't feel like we necessarily need a DL. If everyone that we expect to have back comes back, I believe we are good. Now if there's a stud that pops up in the portal and wants to come to TN, that's good with me. Just think we should focus more on the offensive side of the ball. Need playmaker, LOTS OF PLAYMAKERS!!!

We lose 3 guys who played a ton/started in Sanders, Norman Lott and Thomas. I think they look for 1 dt with experience to Finn in some of those snaps.

Kentucky is desperate and Stoops is on the sh*t list

We need a replacement for Omari Thomas, we should be fine at the other 2 spots with Eason, Moi, Hobbs, West, Weathersby and Leo should be fine with Josephs, Herring, and Ross, but we a guy that can step in and start at DT till House is ready

Who is Sanders?

All the guys you just named in Eason, Moi, Hobbs, West, and Weathersby can play DT.

 

[Frosty]

Who is Sanders?

I want to say maybe he meant Simmons

 

[RikidyBones]

I haven't seen a single "No me gusta"

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

I want to say maybe he meant Simmons

Yeah had to be.

 

[jvols1999]

I believe staff is looking for a low cost one-year rotation guy. Not someone looking to get big money and tons of snaps.

 

[tennesseefan31]

Think they have high hopes on Hobbs taking the next step and becoming elite.

1 week ago you had never heard of this guy

What does that have to do with anything?? He’s a quality DL…. We need DL. He plays at the same school that Cam Ward came from. You think Miami fans care that they didn’t know who Ward was this time last year?

Everybody knew who Cam Ward was if they watched cfb

Cam Ward was a known commodity throughout the college football landscape. Not even remotely the same situation.

Well I knew who Gusta was and Miami fans are not as informed as the typical SEC fan. I guarantee that some of them didn’t know who Ward was.

He was a known commodity because he was the QB. Otherwise see my response above ^^^

Sorry you are right. Missing on the Washington St. DT is going to tank our season. Fire everybody

Yes that’s exactly what I said. Better luck as you begin your 2nd month on the board. I’m rooting for you.

Spyre needs MONEY to compete.

Spyre needs MONEY to compete.

They don’t have any money?

 

[freedom fighter]

They don’t have any money?

Not enough

 

[Jackcrevol]

They don’t have any money?

We have no idea what Spyre has and doesnt have. IMO that's part of my issue.

 

[Volsloco]

Not enough

So Ole Miss and Auburn have more money than we do? I think it’s because Heupel is a below-average recruiter, and Heupel and his staff waited too long to start recruiting portal players.
