Tennessee--Players that went elsewhere

[biglon68]

What's the purpose of this thread? There has been hundreds of guys from East Tennessee who did not sign with UT for one reason or another thru the years. I'm a D-B fan and just off the top of my head I can think of a few dozen D-1 Kingsport players who went elsewere? Is this supposed to be the start of a UT bashing thread?

I actually would love to see a list of how many D1 players there are from East Tennessee, especially since so many people talk about how little talent there is in the east.

I agree with you there. Alot of these start out as a way to bash UT recruiting, I know you know there's a couple people on hear that think every 5'6" 140lb RB with a 4.8 40 from their favorite school was shunned by UT and start bashing them.

 

Over the years here's some D-B guys I can think of right away and the school they signed with:

 

Florida - Robbie Moore

Georgia - Oliver Hawk, Larry Cage

Vanderbilt - Howard Buck, Roy Duncan, Ken Roberts

Michigan State - Usef Haney, Al Agett, Wayne Bowers

Kentucky- Buck Anderson

Mississippi - D.W. Salley, A.W. Salley, Cecil Puckett, Alf Crawford, Kyle Shipley

Georgia Tech- John Bell, Jack Patterson, Don Miller, Hal Miller, Mike O'Neil,

Ira Rathburn, Harry Wright, David Steadman

Clemson - James Blessing

Memphis (Memphis St) - Art Brumit, Fred Powell

Virginia Tech - Coy Chambers

North Carolina - Shane Pierson, Mike Faulkerson, Gerald Sensabaugh

Wake Forest - Patrick Ghee, Denny Revell, Wally Bridwell

Alabama - H. C. Dickson

Marshall - Aaron Ferguson, Jeremy Graves

Princeton (when they were big time) - Bobby Peters

O'Connor the kicker from Halls, kicking at Marshall Univeristy.

 

Inman the lineman from Webb, playing at Marshall.

 

Bruhin the lineman from Powell, playing at Marshall.

 

FB from Central (maybe 5-6 years ago, played at Vanderbilt.

 

These are just the ones not already mentioned.

Had no idea so many from DB played D-1 football.

 

C'mon people, if you are going to trash UT, at least bring up Chad Pennington from Webb. And Spurrier, don't forget him too.

Ayanga Okpokowuruk was seriously recruited by UT but when they found out he was a Merit Scholar Semifinalist and a wasn't a thug, he was dismissed as a potential VOL on both counts.

I didn't say all of these players, " I said many of these players"

From what I know he is a player

[Burnt]

Daniel and Josh Bullocks-Nebraska

Jeff Jennings-Vandy

 

And you can now add

 

Brandon Warren-FSU

I don't think they have had signing day yet so Brandon Warren is not at FSU quite yet.
