Is TQ cultivating multiple options a la Russel Wilson?
No. He was completely done with baseball after the injury.

Austin will know tomorrow per AG to Keith. Not sure when an announcement would be made.

He told Keith he would have an answer tomorrow. Only he didn't specify what question he was answering. Best guess is he announces the transfer to Auburn.

Isn't Leonard Williams the DL we thought we were going to get on signing day a couple of years back that ended up at So Cal? Just saw a mock draft that had him #2 overall next year.

If he does transfer how many spots on the Oline would that leave for this class? I know we want a Center, would we be done at guard and still sign 1 OT?

Yup, Auburn and Florida were at the top of the list, and then USC blew him away...

He started most of his true freshman season, IIRC.

Wouldn't put too much stock into Mock Drafts this early. I've seen one that had Cass the #2 or #3 best MLB and Frost the 4th best OLB in the class.

I can buy the Cass McKinzy hype, but not the Kris Frost hype.

I truly believe Cass McKinzy is one of the best linebackers in the nation. You could tell he had the required athleticism back during his recruiting highlights, and his first game ever starting as a true freshman revealed the talents he has. He took the field against Vanderbilt in 2012 and had 12 tackles and a forced fumble.

Yep. It is amazing looking at the last two drafts how much NFL talent Chizik missed on. Guys like Leonard, Marcus Roberson (ufa), Amhad Dixon, Seastrunk, TJ Jones, Stephon Truitt. Granted had they come to AU under Chizik they would not have been developed or drafted. But it was close

Likely a Center and best OL available. Preferable an OT.

Chiz did not miss on Roberson. He lost his spot in the class on his own.

Tomato, Tomoto

He was not in the class and we ended up with Jermaine Whitehead instead.

eta Jermaine did seem better last season when he got real coaching instead of getting Thigpenned

He got Chizzed. Chiz would not let Thig coach the way or with the physicality he wanted to.

Williams told his entire family he was going to AU in the fall then he OVd USC and fell in love. Knew a few people from his town and they all were saying he was a lock until that OV and everything change

maybe true, but Thigpen still sucks. Notice that Tennessee has not gotten any better under his coaching.
