He is a playmaker and when you get enough of them it doesn't require any of them to be great as individuals but as a team they make each other great. Go Orange Pig!

My Favorite recruit of the class. He is faster then anybody we got on the team. Not a smooth route runner yet, but has high potential. Would like to see him get a chance to return kicks and or punts to. Devrin is good, but he doesn't have speed like this kid. So next year when Zach Rogers is dropping catch-able passes again, I will be the one screaming to put in Pig.

Almost everyone talks about Zack dropping passes. What about T.O. jr. (the other Rogers)he's a cancer and he drops more than Zack.

Some type of bias, I suppose, overcomes the facts to some folks.

Everyone drops passes I just like picking on Z. Da'Rick has dropped a ton, but makes a lot more plays then Z.

Watauga, I don't remember seeing in the VIP Room article where our coaches visited with him last week. Ryan has said previously that not all coaches visits are announced so maybe that was the case. Hope he is a Vol.

OK, here's a third hand rumor while we're digesting our lunch. TOS, poster says FlaVol53 has PIG to the Vols. Has been that way for a while per those folks. TIFWIW. ???

I would temper our expectations. Would love to have him, but I hear that the staff is not holding their breath.

I'm concerned about Patterson, but I trust my info on Pig. Now, as somebody mentioned above, a respectable TOS poster is saying the same stuff.
This is the same guy who gave me the Damien Jacobs information that turned out spot-on.
Also, Autry comin'. But we knew that, anyway. Also, that Perkins kid Sirmon is talking to is at least listening, and Cochran -- as Ryan mentioned in the VIP room -- absolutely was blown away this past weekend.
I'll try to post more. Again, you're only as good as your info. But I trust this guy.

I don't know what a dvs is, but I'm sure I'll deserve -- and get -- much worse from myself if this info is wrong.
I've loved Pig since the summer.

Pig would be a great pickup, his frame and the way he runs in his film, he reminds me of Steve Smith. Cross your fingers until Wednesday.
