'14 GA OL Orlando Brown (Signed with Oklahoma)

It was nice to hear them drop Big Ball Butch Jones' name during the primetime draft coverage. That should bode well. Nothing like a free plug on a huge stage. Butch, please.

Yeah the first five minutes of live coverage they said his name three times. Definitely take that.

 

[UTvol1fn]

Great way to reload from Ja'wuan James.
This guy would be one our most valuable commits IMHO. He could be a huge piece of this class.

i'd say you would be correct on this assessment

Chris Mortenson gets it

[Montrell Hardy]

Been impressive in camps so I would expect a bump to 4 star

This. I dont think he'll remain a 3 star for long. Would be a huge pickup for Tennessee.

Agreed, his offer list should show he is better than a 3* ranking. Dude is a hoss!

 

[chavisut]

So is he really announcing next week?

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

See, told you. Chavis is umm "excited".

 

[Spirit_of_98]

So is he really announcing next week?

Yes, May 2nd.

Wtf are you talking about? Jones saw the ability in him and signed the number 1 overall draft pick. You don't think recruits take note of that?

Butch and Mahoney are definitely gonna play this angle. "I see things in you that we saw in Eric.... this years #1 overall NFL pick..." Or something like that.

The fact that Butch found this kid absolutely helps our OL recruiting. He will make sure to incorporate this story into the sales pitch IMHO.

Teams were high on him his sophomore year, but cooled down his junior year. Apparently height and bad weight were concerns. His stock is rising again now.

Orlando Brown, Coleman Thomas, Pyke, and Bruno would be a nice start to the 2014 OL Class! I would be pleased with that.

Tough to play that angle IMO. Brown weighs 100 pounds more than Fisher and while Fisher had 2 offers, Brown's list looks like a who's who contending for a national championship. Brown is not a diamond in the rough, the kid is a major recruit.

Doubt UT takes Pyke according to Hubbs. He is seen as a center and we have coleman.

Put the champagne on ice

That's the feeling I get as well. They are not pushing for Pyke as to not have CT(being from out of state) question how much we want him as part of the class.

 

[volssam]

Put the champagne on ice

Slow down Bill Buckner

 

[TriCitiesVol]

Gerry Hamilton just predicted UT on the crystal ball also. Thats 2 for UT and zero for everybody else.

Isn't Bajakian visiting with Pyke today?

 

[StlCardinals2618]

Isn't Bajakian visiting with Pyke today?

They are also sending him letters, but they aren't going to anything until a camp mare than likely. If they think he can play another position besides center when he camps then we will offer. The thing is that most see him as a center prospect

Son of late NFL star will pick between SEC, Oklahoma | College Recruiting | www.ajc.com

If we land Zeus I'm going to be putting something else on ice.

From his three quotes here, I like where we stand.

 

[Dust10]

Really think he will be a Vol. He knows we are losing our entire line and he sees opportunity.
