The CheckerBoard

Didn't know about the UT offer earlier.

The kid is what 17/18 6'3 214?? You don't think that he could grow another inch or two and put on 15-20 lbs? His speed might be compromised at that size in coverages, lateral movement etc.... just thinking ahead to next fall, this kid might be alot bigger than he is now, and he has a good frame on him now.

time will tell what position he ends up playing at the next level....He has 18 months until he would be on a college field, he just might gain a pound or two call me crazy, might grow an inch, again call me nuts.

its a mute point man, wether he is playing ILB or OLB, hopefully he is in orange and white.

Knoxville is a lot larger than Auburn, AL. No place to hide there when a local produce leaves for the enemy. This will be a very tough pull if we can get it done. I would worry more if he were to commit early and give the home town folks too much time to flip him.

It's neat that recruit after recruit keep referring to the "family" feel around the program now. I don't like bashing the former staff since I do believe they gave effort, but it feels like the current staff are actually changing the culture around the program rather than just talking about changing the culture. That's a much needed breath of fresh air.

It would be nice to get a kid out of Alabama and steal him from auburn and the tide

This young man would NEVER have visited KLnoxville with Dooley here. Probably wouldn't have even heard from Tennessee. Dooley stole money for 3 years from Tennessee because he didn't do his job...................Derek you suck a blue egg.

agreed. I love what this staff is doing with recruting.
