I think the class s going to hold together just fine. We lost a DL guy who was shopping himself around and taking trips. If the recruit is looking, he's always a possible flip. I don't think we have other commitments looking around except for maybe Bryant and Thomas. If we lose either of those guys, we may see a surprise on or close to NSD. May not be a huge name talent like some hope, but could end up someone like Brown we stole from Syracuse last year on NSD. With having (7) DL commits in this class(if Thomas sticks) I think the staff could use the recent opening on a "best available" kid if they wanted to. Of course losing 1 yesterday may just help the numbers work out as well. 33 minus a Dews and Paulk GS puts us at 31. Lose a Thomas or a Bryant and we are at the 30 number CBJ mentioned many times.

Any reason you feel this way?

I will argue that kids with significant challenges qualifying wont be in this class.


You would think sooner or later you guys might start to believe much of what I say isn't due to wanting to argue but because it ends up being correct

Why would our class now fall apart? We are undefeated for like 4 weeks in a row. Everybody we have committed, CBJ was up front with how this year was most likely going to turn out. Flamebert was a liar, can't help that. Bryant has t said anything nor took any visits, if it's grades, nothing you can do about that but replace him: MooMoo isn't going anywhere, JkbJohnson will be here in a couple weeks, Weatherd is 100%, Bates is 167%. I don't see any other DL bailing, even Joey Rush. I see no offensive commits bailing. And we will get Atleast three more commits when it's all said and done.
Bryant won't flip, grades casualty, possibly, but I've only seen positive remarks recently. And if the Juco monster gets him, we can drunk dial Mclisse. I'm sure Butch has backup plans to back up plans. We won't lose a top 6 class.

Miclisse is never a take IMO. If Bryant doesnt qualify, we just dont grayshirt Dews

Very little chance this kid signs with us

Man I like that you bring something different to the board but you're one of, if not the most, pessimistic posters on the board about everything. We lost one recruit and people are back in Dooley mode.

I am Not saying he is going to flip.

Like suggesting UT wouldn't get Cory Thomas and Charles Mosley to commit?

Thomas will be a vol for certain now that lambert is gone unless his acedemics get in the way.

Mosley was always going to be a vol if numbers worked out. When it became clear that williams was going to be the only juco DT added his spot was made available.

Imo Bryant won't be a vol due to acedemics.


None of those 3 were never in question due to them not wanting to be vols.

I really hope this kid can get this grade issue fixed. I believe he will be a special player here. Has there been any reports since that one that said things were looking better?

Not my point. You said you usually end up being correct, and I pointed 2 cases off the top of my head where you weren't. You got Lambert right, but that was merely due to the law of percentages. If you guess something bad is going to happen with every kids recruitment, you are bound to get a couple right.

So lambert is the only one I have gotten right???





Here's a post from 10/22 for you to get your answer.


Today I believe we have 6 spots to fill maybe 7.

Here is how I see it finishing

Berry
Berry
Hendrix
Reed
Malone
Garrett

Thomas or another jc dl would be the 7th








Obviously i missed on the number of spots. Nobody here ever knew the spots we had.

I gave 8 possible scenarios. I missed on garrett and Reed. That's batting .750. Far from only getting 1 correct my friend.

So you think the staff knew Lambert was going to flip so they took Mosley? Thought Mo was high on their board and we tried to keep Lambert. Not trying to stir the pot, just a asking.
