Jesse Scroggins can walk a mile on his hands
Today's must-read for Tennessee fans, especially in light of the report that QB prospect Jake Heaps is headed to BYU, is Bruce Feldman's excellent in-depth piece on Jesse Scroggins. Highlights include:
- Feldman met the QB prospect when Scroggins was proving to be the brightest star among several at a Nike camp at USC awhile ago. Scroggins's national desirability factor has grown significantly since then.
- His dad explained to Bruce some of the more unique, budget-friendly training methods he used to develop Jesse into a highly touted recruit, including doing mile-long wheelbarrow walks (because of an observation from watching National Geographic that humans' upper bodies get weak when we learn to walk) and putting up seven different-colored t-shirts on a fence and calling out a color to Jesse as he was dropping back.
- After the Nike camp was over, Jesse split the uprights from the opposite 40-yard line.
Go read the whole thing. With Heaps reportedly off the table, Scroggins may be the priority for UT's coaches.

We offered him early
Before Florida or USC.
I hope he remembers that.

But did we offer him a car like USC did?
Maybe he talked to Tim Floyd.
(My work is done here.)

Criteria #1 and #3 are somewhat at odds with each other.
I know what he means by judging the depth chart and looking to be pushed, but the friendlier the depth chart, the less push you have by virtue of competition.
(Not that he wouldn’t get pushed – just an observation.)
