Why are we losing so many receivers?!?!

[Vol4LIFE85]

With the news that Squirrel White is going to the portal we gotta ask ourselves why this is happening and how are the coaches gonna address it? It's getting bad.

 

[VawlIn]

Did you watch our offense the last 2 years? Why would any receiver want to play here

 

[barney]

because the position coach is bad at his job and the offense isn't generating opportunities for receivers.

 

[McDad]

Like secondary last year. Gotta lose em to replace with better (I hope).

It kinda is starting to look that way. Plus giving snaps to highly touted younger players.

My hope too but who’s left in the portal at WR?

Probably because they see Pope can’t develop

May have to grab 1-2 in the spring. Theoretically I love the 3 of Brazz/ Staley and Matthews. Just need 2 more for depth plus the freshmen. And possibly a new coach.

Nobody in this cycle

 

[Manchester Vol]

They’re getting on board the suck train.

 

[UTwild82]

The same reason we lost so many DBs last year. They aren't good enough or worth the investment.

You know that there are teams still playing. Wait until after bowl season. Don't want to wait? You don't have a choice.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Prefer now, but post spring is still out there too.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Have to hope they upgrade somehow

 

[Vol524]

I watched Boo Carter in high school. CJH needs to move him to offense. He is better than what I saw the receivers do this year. Boo has the potential to take it to the house every time he touches the ball.

 

[Jxn Vol]

The receivers are finally getting separation

 

[207 others]

It can't get worse honestly put some Furman and wofford portal players in there

I saw what you did. lol

Second portal in spring. That's where we made most of our acquisitions last year.

 

[UTK]

Second portal in spring. That's where we made most of our acquisitions last year.

And what acquisitions on offense really factored in? Kitsleman?

 

[Vol865]

Would you want to be a 3rd, 4th or 5th WR on a team that decides to play 12 personnel a lot?

Maybe a lot of them just aren't that good...

McCoy on defense was added last year by now. Staes, too. Seems like defense was the focus last season.

Lololoolol

Simple as this think about it. Tennessee only plays 3 to 4 receivers on a regular basis every year. We hear in the off season how deep we are at receiver only to see 4 at most the whole season. You think this is bad just wait till they stop signing here on account of that
