Hopefully Josephs comes back. Afraid he's going to go play on Sunday's.

 

[BJSforVols]

David Sanders will be back!

This is hypothetical but this is basically our DL next year

DE:
RETURNING-T. West, J. Jenkins,,T. Weathersby, C. Gentle, K. Lindstrom

FRESHMAN-M. Dye


NT:
RETURNING-J. Moi, J. Wallace

FRESHMAN: ?

DT:
RETURNING-D. Hobbs, N. Robinson

FRESHMAN-E. Utley

LEO:
RETURNING-J. Josephs, C. Herring, J. Ross

FRESHMAN-J. Loftin

I could see someone like West moving inside to DT if we strike out in the portal. I think we need to pick up at least 2.

So far they have brought in a home run at DT every year. Look for them to bring in at least 1 DT.

Looks like we need 2-3 for sure.

 

[D-Vols]

If Banks stays and with the D being one of the best, I dont think we will have a problem picking up anyone we want out of the portal? We are losing 6 seniors out of the 12 that rotate on the D line.
LB Losing or have lost 1 senior.
O line, were losing Mays, 2 guards a right tackle. Backups need to step up
DB 1 senior
RB probably Sampson were covered if he’s gone

That's not actually too bad. May not be this year's line....but that ain't bad. IMO

Yes, fix the damn OL. Nico showed what he can do with time today....and why are we fielding our worst OL in year 4? I assume we're back to fishing in the portal again, ridiculous.

We have our guys we’ve drafted the last couple years and hopefully they’re going to step up

We’d rather hear it from you

 

[perico]

Eason has one more year. Karic is back along with Heard.

DT needs some depth but we'll be fine on the edges

 

[Go47]

Better than I assumed actually on the Dline. Looks like if we pick up 1-2 good DTs we are ok. Of course, Garner always does an outstanding job.

The center position on the oline and the oline overall could be tricky.

Ha!
That’s a first

It's not ridiculous. It's just the lowest success position group the staff has recruited. And, yes we'd better fish the portal for a couple of OL stain.

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

Really thin and inexperienced at DT. Need to add 2-3 there IMO

 

[nomads-11]

I certainly hope so...I'd be nice to wake up in 2025 and talk about the talent and OL depth like we did this year with the DL.

 

[nomads-11]

Agree, and maybe with some portal help we won't have much of a fall off. If the offense can figure it out it, can offset any drop in DL production.

Slightly off subject, Elijah Simmons went down in our last game. Anybody have an update on his injury?
