Link it up! I don't care where you put it.

Per Andrew Bone (twitter), we got JUCO OT Aaron Douglas

Does this impact our chance with Cyrus K?

 

[RJ YellowHammer]

My first thought is about how this affects/if it means anything about Cyrus Kouandjio?

Doubt it! Douglas will play right away and allow Cyrus to redshirt

 

[VegasTide]

And there ya have it. He was All SEC Freshman at UT... and he raps! :biggrin:

Douglas is taking Carpenters spot. HOPEFULLY, it has no barring or effect.

It has zero effect on Cyrus Aaron is a one and done type player with sec tackle experience which is invaluable. Also realistically u want all olinemen to redshirt even Cyrus. It help dj a ton.

If anyone it would be X Ward.

 

[Tide Warrior]

As I said in the other thread it would have more of an impact on X Ward.

Saw on facebook where Rodney Orr is reporting the same thing. Looks to be another good pickup. O-Line is definitely a place of need for us.

It's best not to leave it up to an unproven or a true freshman at LT, so this is where Douglas fits in. As I said in the Pre-Christmas thread today, we had a question to answer.....and we did with his signing.

I'm all warm n fuzzy now just knowing competitions along the OL are as they should be.

 

[TheRealPokeChop]

this one is kind of a nice surprise for me, welcome to the good guys aaron.

UT fans are wishing for to die in anyway possible right now. Very unhappy people on their boards.

If him and Fluker are at tackles could Arie K play guard.

 

[CrimsonBleedRed]

NOT that it matters, but rivals has update Bama's list that includes Aaron Douglas.

Did Douglas play on the same team as Jesse Williams out in Arizona?

 

[Harmost]

Great player, and he has the accolades.

Hopefully he got his problems cleared up in his time out west.

I'll say. How would y'all feel if the situation were reversed? Both his parents were Vols athletes; his dad a football player and mom was a vollyball player. His dad still cohost a sunday morning radio show in Kville. Bet he won't be doing that anymore. Personally I don't care what he does. He should be a really good player for you. Just don't ask him to rap...worst rapper in history. He's had some alcohol and drug issues as well. Hopefully he's straightened himself out.

I have to say even though it was apparent that Bama was hard after Douglas, I didn't think he would end up at Bama. Great news. He is very talented and will make an immediate impact on the OL.

Could be one-and-done but, doesn't he have two to play two?
