'22 FL WR CJ Smith (Georgia commit)

[Big151Orange]

We may not sign 5, but stranger things have happened. Like not signing any offensive linemen in a class at all.

To this day I CANNOT understand how any coach can have zero OL in a recruiting class!

 

[INKYBERRYVOL]

So....
Grew up dreaming of playing for FL.
Commits but coach fired.
Still committed but agrees to visit TN because of WR coach.
TN gives him all the reasons why TN would be better and mom loves it. But still determined to go to FL.
Gets home and starts thinking about FL’s new coach not making him feel wanted like TN did.

Hope we get him. He gave a really good interview about his visit even though he stated he was still committed. Hoping we will be saying this soon about them down there in Gainesville.

He's taking 2 visits elsewhere this week

Yeah, but name a school that is more attractive if you play WR and run track right now?

All Callahan is really saying is that we shouldn’t assume this de-commitment means that he’s automatically a Vol. He very well may end up being, but it’s not that he had this life-changing visit to Knoxville last weekend and now is going to quickly flip to the good guys. There seems to be a lot of unknown here. This caught a lot of guys by surprise, including our coaches it sounds like.

Yeah I’m starting to think that some people on here are just looking for a reason to criticize the media folk. I’ve found Callahan, AP, and Hubbs to be fairly on point. They’re definitely not always perfect but I think they do a good enough job.

With that said I do feel good about CJ coming to us. I’d want to know where he’s visiting this week but hopefully he signs with us on ESD

No. You won’t. They wouldn’t play this year. Just like Andison Colby, Walker Merrill, or the Jimmy’s didn’t.

Maybe one or two would. But not 5.

Utilize the tight ends more. Engage the RBs more. We literally played the last ten games with 3 receivers gettinf 95% of the snaps and we were electric.

You guys are forgetting we have horrid depth at linebacker - guys who can’t tackle in space. Or that we basically have one pass rusher. Or that our safeties can’t cover ground. Or that it looks like Dayne Davis might have the best chance to start at tackle currently.

This ain’t Madden.

And no freshman is going to come in and fix those issues next year. Especially the ones that will be on the roster. That’s what the portal is for

I like AP especially, he gives hints and takes educated guesses. The only thing Callahan is good for is letting the cat out of the bag with his balls (crystal)

Meachem. Smith and Swain would like a word.

That's why I said COULD.

But I agree with you, those 3 will be hard to beat. But this group has the measurables, hopefully they have the desire along with it.

To me, Smith was under-rated out of the 3. I can still remember that catch he had going down the sideline against Florida. I looked like it was 5 feet over his head and he jumped and dragged it out of the air. Never broke stride on his way to the end zone.

They all serve a purpose to an extent…. Callahan doesn’t offer much but I do like that his CB lets me know where guys are definitely going.

Big JT agrees....only matter of time 4 good guys !

His mom has been tweeting Vols stuff ever since the visit. She is all in.

The whole “people observing a recruit’s mom’s twitter” will never not be weird to me.

Montario hardesty ran that in high school. Edit- I’m trying to find where I saw that, but I’m only seeing 10.36 now. Still pretty dang fast

I thought this was interesting.. Random trivia, as of 2019 only 128 humans have posted sub 10sec 100m times.....

You need to be checking your voice-mail, you have emails, your Amazon package has shipped, something you've been watching on ebay is almost up. I have no idea what you've been downloading. Better get after it.

He retweeted it one so I dug around. I don't look at that often.

Surprising to me…Vols would line up with this development

All things point Tennessee at this point.

Being a stalker for this reason is ok.

Sounds like he didn’t give the signs in person but went home and they decided the visit was enough for them to realize FL isn’t for them and they need to reevaluate which puts TN in a good spot but certainly not over. I bet some other teams jump in here and try and get him to visit.

Somewhere I read someone alluded to him visiting 2 more schools this week. Can anyone confirm? If so, where's he visiting?

 

[landscapingvol]

One thing I have learned in following recruiting for two decades is many recruits are never heard from again after their moment in the sun during recruitment and there are very few surprises in recruiting. They generally do what their activity on social media says they are going to do. Well that's two things lol

He’s visiting Georgia and A&M
