quick note from Vols practice: freshman corner Daniel Gray & senior safety Rod Wilks got most of first-team reps this morning.
Sounds like Byron Moore and P. Toast Waggs are getting bumped.

Star system alert, Gray was a two star, Bonner a four star who would have probably ended up a five had he not gotten into some trouble with his sticky fingers! Gray is one of the two or three fastest players on the entire team.

Moore is sick and not practicing today ... Wilks was just getting reps in his place.

Gray was a 3* and Bonner a Top 150 player as a 4*.

But I don't get your point on Gray. Are you saying that a 3* FR replacing a 3* SR at CB on a 0-5 SEC team that is tied with Kensucky for LAST PLACE in the SEC is some reason to brag on???

There are 3* players who start for every single SEC team there is including bammer. But not sure what starting on an 0-5 UT team says. Can you clarify?

AV, it really only says one thing. If we are starting a true freshman in our Defensive Backfield who does not have the last name of Berry, then our Defensive Backfield is a chaotic mess ... we already knew it was a chaotic mess, but this just puts an exclamation point on the situation.

That is sort of true but;

Janzen Jackson and Mike Edwards started games as FR in 2009

Coleman and Randolph started games in 2011 as true FR

Bonner, Gray, and McNeil have started games in 2012 as true FR

My post was somewhat hyperbolic, AV.

do not believe Bonner and Gray have not started any games this season to date. Gray will get his chance Saturday for sure.

Ha, ha, thanks so much was another ample helping of your infinite wisdom. You are truly one of the most brilliant posters on the entire worldwide web.
Nine players starting on defense with one year or less experience in the SEC.

They haven't ... and Edwards didn't start either ... but, I think that the point was that we are (and have been) playing a lot of true freshmen in the secondary.

The younger CBs are much faster and more highly regarded in potential than the older players in the secondary. They have all been making mistakes, so why not get the youth into the game and at least allow them to use their speed to make up when they do make mistakes.

Moore is probably banged up because I read on this board that he's one of the best DB's in SEC.
