I thought he was coming too. Receiver really wasn't a need for the Vols this year, but I'd love to have a 6'-5" wideout!

 

It wouldn't surprise me if Fulmer pulled out a couple or three blue chippers on signing day like he usually does. Stewart is still on the board and they've got a 5 star D-lineman coming in this weekend.

This is not a real surprise but Tennessee isn't hurt by this other than losing a top in-state player like him however receiver wasn't a top priority this recruiting season by Tennessee however they have already replaced Turner with another Army All-American receiver and thats Slick Shelley from Arkansas he has narrowed his choices down to two UT & LSU this is a surprise because almost everyone thought he would be a Razorback. He is scheduled to visit knoxville just 3 days before signing day. He had a great AAA game catching several passes including a TD.

Intersting note: Turner's father was quoted as being surprised at the decision and the fact he announced his decision. Definetly out of the loop.

 

Recruiting is a funny business. Turner's family wants him to stay in TN, Oher's family wants him to go to OLe Miss. UT winds up losing both ways. Also Phillips Mom wants him close to home, so he probably goes to Miami.

 

Never like to lose a recruit, but does not greatly diminsih an already great recruiting year. I think Chris Scott-OL from Ga is most important guy left out there for UT based soley on need. With the loss of Oher another Bigtime OL would be big. Scott is down to UT and Fla, he is rated #1 OG in the nation by Rivals.

 

With five or six scholarships left, the rest would be gravy, but I like gravy.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
