I wish you would stop posting. Not a single recruiting site(247,Rivals, ESPN, or Scout) reports a Tennessee offer. So thanks for making that one up.

Do people really think a true freshman that had two offers, a take my ball and go home attitude, and not alot of hype playing without a RS year speaks well to our talent? Thats fine if you do. The Kool Aid man says "Oh Yeahh!"

You need to stop posting.

Much like Nallen, Aclone to the ignore list was a good call.

I'm pretty sure that everyone has Aclone blocked, or at least they should IMO.

This is very interesting news. Tribune must be pretty good because we aren't really thin a corner. He'd be beating out guys who have played some good minutes the last few years.

Combine that with Charlie Rogers making waves and we've got some great young talent.

Personally, I would prefer to redshirt him and have him for 4 more years, but the staff must really like him so far.

Good news, hope Tribune plays very snap this year.

Is there a way we can test posters for brain damage before letting them post?

Based on some of Wally's comments from past years, he could very well be one of the leading advocates for Tribune getting some playing time this year. Granted Wally is not the position coach, but he still has responsibility for the overall defensive effort. If he sees Tribune as a solid option to start in the secondary next year, he knows the value of a new starter having some live game experience as a backup and key special team contributor. He did this with both Knott and Klein knowing that they were the best options to start as sophs.

The obvious trade off is getting improved special team play this year plus a more reliable starter for next year vs the potential of having a 5th year SR starting down the road. If improving the team this year and next produces an extra win or two along the way, you have to put some faith in addressing needs 5 years down the road with subsequent improved recruiting.
