First game I watched was an Andy Kelly led Vols Team against Alabama. Not understanding it was college I thought every state had their own sponsored football team. TN lost that game and I hated Alabama, for beating our state's team, ever sense...

He is a 3 star... If you translate his message, he liked his chances of being a starter at Indiana instead of a backup (or special team-er)... The Florida LB commit most likely turned him away and coaches are pulling offers now, possibly to get more JUCO guys that are ready to start and fill in voids due to injuries. Shy Tuttle may not be ready at the start of next year and we are decimated at linebacker. Coach is attempting to cover some big gaps, hopefully with experience rather than prospects. Short term gains to appease the Boosters, maybe. But that's just my opinion.
But I hope I'm wrong about SEC east standings
I think Barnett is lights out better, but everyone in the west didn't play TN so it makes sense. Frankly the season will play out. I hate that Williams will not be playing. You always want to go against a team with all its players, especially the elite ones. That is the litmus test. It is the reason Mizzou doesn't get respect because the East has been down. TN, Florida, SC, Vandy and Kentucky have sucked and Georgia always underachieves. Georgia wins east, loses SEC championship Mizzou or TN 2nd Kentucky 4th SC 5th Vandy 6th
I meant, "The DT position is not solid if you look at what is returning" and "we have this paradigm shift" not gave... My hooked on phonics has failed me...
I understand McElroy's stance. The DT position is solid if you look at what is returning. We gave this paradigm shift today that thinks that just because you have freshmen with great talent and potential it doesnt mean it will give instant results. McKenzie and Tuttle still have to prove themselves come game time. I hope they contribute and excel right away but lets be rational. With Phillips at the end position providing depth it all looks good on paper. My concern too is experience at the Mike position and DT combined. Whether its Bynum or anyone else, that is such a critical position to have experience. While Vols were great on 3rd down, Red Zone defense was not as great. You need solid DT's and Middle Linebacker to improve that. One can hope that they meet the high bar that the Fans and Boosters have set.
