'14 GA S Cortez McDowell (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[Brillovol]

How did he get a chance to play against our secondary? I kid I kid... Sort of

Too soon. :cray:

 

[therickbol]

Between McDowell, Kelly, and Gaulden this class will have no trouble producing 2 elite safeties.

 

[The Breakerboy]

I think Jones will be ahead of Coleman but everything here is very possible IMO. I might also like Gaulden at SS rather than NB. Not sure.

I like TK2 at SS. This kid's range at FS will be a welcome sight. If he were to turn out as the best player in this secondary class I wouldn't be surprised. He's an absolute monster of a talent. And extremely underrated on this board.

 

[Montrell Hardy]

I just dont see Coleman being a starter next year if these freshman are what I expect them to be. He could possibly be the nickel back depending on who wins that corner spot opposite Sutton but I think that may even be a stretch. I think the starting corner opposite Sutton will be one of the three true freshman...Gaulden, Berry, Payne and one of those is also likely to be the nickel back.

Coleman does nothing and I mean nothing that a freshman CB can't do. All that practice superhero stuff they can save. I'm done with him and quite a few older players.

To be fair, he has been the second best corner on the team this year.

And that means what again.........

That he is one notch below the best? :question:

 

[KnoxVillain]

...that there are a lot of 2 deep spots open for these incoming guys. JMO.

 

[wU-Tang Vol]

To be fair, he has been the second best corner on the team this year.

He's also the worst starting CB in the SEC... no offense JC

Anybody else think TK2 could grow out of Safety? Seem pretty big for a H.S. Sr.

Heard he doesn't really have the frame for it. This kid may could but look at this LB class and tell me why we would move one of them again.

True dat!!! Man I'm excited for the future of UT!!!

No I don't see that personally. He's tailor-made to play safety IMO.

 

[NashVOL93]

No I don't see that personally. He's tailor-made to play safety IMO.

Agreed. You get a guy that big and fast that can play safety, you keep him there. TK2 has nearly identical measurables to Ha-Ha Clinton Dix, who seems to have worked out pretty well down in Tuscaloosa.

So does this look like the two/three deep for our last two recruiting classes on D?

DE - Dwayne Hendrix / Dimayra Mixon / Jaylen Miller
DT - Jason Carr / Derek Barnett / **Charles Mosely**
DT - Devonte Lambert / Malik Brown / Cory Thomas
DE - Corey Vereen / Joe Henderson / Kendall Vickers
LB - Chris Weathered/ Dillon Bates
LB - Gavin Bryant / Kevin Mouhon
LB - Jalen Reeves Maybin / Elliott Berry
CB - Cam Sutton / Evan Berry
CB - Rashaun Gaulden / D'andre Payne
NB - Malik Foreman / Devaun Swafford
S - Cortez McDowell / JRM
S - Todd Kelly Jr. / Lemond Johnson

Pretty amazing talent upgrade that fast on D. Add Mosely and Garrett and the rebuild on D is well on its way.

Wow. No Randolph or McNeil?

 

[Madkins8]

Randolph and McNeil aren't in the last 2 recruiting classes (2013-2014).

I hope Swafford doesn't have to contribute again outside of special teams.

Yep. Didn't read it closely enough. My mistake. :hi:

Yep, but I would say Gaulden or Payne definitely play the NB position over Foreman and Swafford if not in at CB.

J. Miller, Vickers, Maybin, Foreman, and L. Johnson all have tremendous upside. I expect Maybin, Foreman, Miller, and Johnson to all make the two deep next year for this team. Carr will start without a doubt as well, and Maybin will compete for the starting WLB spot. Biggest advantage I see with these guys is the speed difference, which should help us contain the edge a little better.

Breakerboy I have a question for you. How would you rank our current DB commits and what would you say is each's greatest strengths and weaknesses

Quick answer for now, all of them have a common strength: physicality. I'll answer in a few hours I'm on the clock.
