'14 FL LB Jakob Johnson (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[lilesrt]

@TheDannyParker: #Vols LB commit watching future team play Kentucky “@JohnsonJakob: Good to see #vols dominating”

Oh thank goodness. Please come home Jakob! Lol! Run home jack!

 

[volgirl99]

Not worried. He just wants to take visits, plus he saw Florida get murdered today. A plus for us

Wait, what? I thought we knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Coach Jones DOES NOT ALLOW this.

He doesn't, there are always exceptions. This kids situation is a little unique to say the least.

Since he lives in N. Florida I think he was just taking in a game as a football fan . That game is huge is that area . Everyone pays attention to it

I think Johnson needs all the exposure he can get to the game of football. Think of it as learning by observation.

can't wait for this LB corps.

Not sure how serious the interest is on either side. Don't believe he has a UF offer at this point either. Personally I wish we (UF) would offer him.

everything works good for the vols.....even jakobs dad thinks that way :clapping:

Four-star LB, #Vols commit @JohnsonJakob discusses visits to #Florida, #UCF (VIP): Tennessee Vols LB commitment Jakob Johnson visits Florida, UCF

 

[Ron Swanson]

He was at UF yesterday but left right after the game and didn't stay long. Still a possibility he takes an official visit to a few different places as there are two weekends left before the dead period.

I think Jancek will be seeing him tomorrow or early this week so we'll try and get a more detailed story from him after that visit.

As long as fsu does not offer, I think he is a Vol when it's all said and done.

I think FSU is done @ LB. Plus already having 24 committed.

Johnson and Bryant will make an impact this year
I think Johnson has a chance to start with him being an EE I don't see AJ coming back

Johnson doesn't look any quicker than AJ

Johnson doesn't look any quicker than AJ

He moves a lot better laterally and defeats his blocks better. Straight line speed doesn't matter nearly as much.

He sheds his HS competition blocking quicker than AJ sheds SEC competition? Obviously. He's not any quicker IMO

 

[Spirit_of_98]

Any word on when Rivals, etc. will rate?

Your opinion is wrong, IMO

within the next 3 days

Are you serious or just trolling?

 

[Ron Swanson]

John Jancek will be down in Florida on Monday visiting with both Dillon Bates and Jakob Johnson.

There was some worry about Johnson as he took an unofficial visit to Florida on Saturday but the Tennessee linebacker commitment left immediately after the game and there doesn't seem to be anything to worry about now. But, Johnson still has two weekends to take official visits and if one of the bigger instate schools were to offer that could throw a wrench in things.

Don't be surprised if he does take a few more visits before the dead period and then heads back to Germany, but it seems like it would take a new team offering to drastically change things.

Ron, Rucker tweeted about a quote "REALLY" hot name on the OC board. Any ideas?

Sorry if already discussed.

It's for Florida but it's Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley

Thank you. I can't see either happening. Lane trashed UF and Dooley is to much of a question mark for Will.
