Recruiting
1) Now that we have the 12/3 weekend free, do you expect Trey Smith to take his OV then?
2) What kind of contact will UT have with Wade before his 12/17 announcement? Obviously that one is trending PSU, but I am wondering if you think Butch would try to use his inhome before the announcement or wait until after and try and sway him before he enrolls if he does announce for PSU. That kid has to see the instant opportunity here...
3) If they lose Wade, do you think they push for Corker or do you think they have enough of a chance with Speed to (and like him more than Corker) to wait on that?
4) Did Henderson make it in for an UV this past weekend, and if so have you talked to him? If he did make it I would obviously take it as a good sign, but wondering where we are with him after his recent travels.
5) Anything new with Marquise Brown or any other WRs?
6) Any other new names popping up?
7) Anything else on the Gaddys academics?
8) Complete hypothetical: If Bubba Thompson was the kind of prospect he looked like right now after his monster senior season and getting offers from UT/OM et al and we had landed him in the summer, how different do you think the feeling about this class would be?
Team 120
1) Do you expect Paul Bain back this weekend? If so do you think he'll get some snaps and can he be more effective than what we've seen in the trenches vs UK and MU?
2) If Kelly can't go this weekend, do you think Warrior or Griffin gets the start? Neither were very good...
3) If Wiesman is back what do you think the OL rotation looks like this weekend (I'm assuming Hall isn't back)?
4) Do you think Vandy's offense is both simpler and materially worse than UK's and MU's? I do...they both have better players at most positions and while Vandy fancies itself a power running team they aren't as effective as UK. Also, they neither pass it as well as MU can nor do they run the hurry that clearly caused us a ton of problems. Interested in your thoughts...
5) Do you think Debord is ready for Mason's defense? Dobbs obviously has to be uber involved in both facets and we have to be very aggressive from the outset.
Team 121
1) Give me 3 players on both sides who you think can use the bowl practices as a platform to make a jump into Spring 2017
2) Odds IYO they spend some of the bowl practice with Byrd at CB? I've gone back and forth on the idea but we will add a lot of potential to the WR corps in 2017 (Williams and Perry and Cotman and Jones specifically at Slot plus Murphy and whoever else we might sign, along with young guys like Johnson and Callaway)...the upside to moving him to CB where we don't have a ton of bodies to begin with let alone top flight talent seems to massively outweigh the downside at WR. Thoughts on the idea and if you think Butch would do it?
3) What's the prognosis for getting the following guys back for 2017:
KMac
Tuttle
Sapp
Berry
Alexis Johnson
4) If Kongbo buys in and uses his overall strong play vs MU and that TD in particular as s jumping off point, how much does that improve the 2017 DL outlook IYO?
