He came in smaller than expected though. He needs to gain somewhere around 30 lbs.. Not impossible, but not easy either. Newkirk

Newkirk is a big question mark too after his injuries.

quote:I agree. I put him in a similar category as Troxell. They have injury issues, but if they can get healthy they will contribute a lot.

How did I miss that we have a 255 pound DT on the roster?
Edit: nvmd I see we haven’t moved him yet.

While thats true.. its been months since Robinson chose Bama. We should have been able to beat Tenn with that amount of time imo. They are, at best, like the 8th best team in the SEC. Missing a guy to LSU I can understand.. but Tenn?
And where are WE in the SEC for crying out loud at this moment? Maybe 6th? You put too much heart into your logic. Tenn is building and we are trying to rebuild. Not much difference.
Makes sense why we lost to Tenn if they started strong w/ him first. That works most of the time....

If you don't think we should beat them out 9 times out of 10 I don't know what to say.. just agree to disagree I guess. I don't want to keep going on about it though.. this is the recruiting thread and I don't want to be the cause of it getting off track.

KN posted today that its a long shot for us to get Dallas Walker. Just figured I would update since his name was mentioned yesterday.

I agree. He didn’t look 255.

We are not rebuilding, recruiting talent we are top 3 or 4. It’s not a talent problem, except maybe qb, it’s a coaching problem.. tenn would trade rosters with us in a New York minute

JT, do you really use simple logic like, the #1 team gets the #1 player, the #2 gets the second, etc? If you are that simply minded, recruiting is not for you man.
Stop trying to line up players with teams based how "who is the best'. Honestly, that is silly. Players pick teams for many many reasons. Tenn right now has no DE's recruited. That more than likely means immediate playing time and less competition on a SEC Blueblood program. I dont care how shitty they have been lately.

No. Its far from being that simple, but better school, better staff, and position of need (we only have 1 DE and no bucks committed, unless you think Riley plays buck) and I think we should win that battle far more often than not. Thats twice in 2 years they have beat us out for a big recruit. Its not the end of the world or anything, but with the way our staff recruits I'm used to winning those battles and really only missing guys to Clemson and a couple other schools.

He likes Tennessee 
shite happens. It’s a nice place

I agree.. I was done talking about it, but got asked a question. Like I said, its not the end of the world.

New Lanier is ornery because he’s got all those teeth and no toothbrush
Posted on 8/19/19 at 7:53 am to AA7
New Lanier is "Old" Lanier unfortunately.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

quote:I didn't say you didn't. All I said was you don't follow it hard core like many on the board. That opinion stems from things like you asking where Tank is leaning when there was an announcement coming & it have been talked about in the thread a good bit before your post. There is no negative connotation in my OP. It was meant to be seen as a compliment actually.
