Good question. Just might.

He's projected to move to DE

 

[lilesrt]

This recruiting class has stalled to say the least.

This recruiting class has stalled to say the least.

The class still has the opportunity to be great or a step in the wrong direction.

Agreed. Other than the lack of a legacy recruit in this class, I am curious to know why the chips haven't fallen for us the last few months. Not sure I like the idea of letting TaDarryl Marshall and Okonya go, but I guess the staff has their reasons.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I'm not going to lie and I don't mean to sound like a Negavol but this years recruiting class has been disappointing so far.

It's okay to feel this way IMO. Butch has raised the standard. I'm confident we'll get a great class we can be proud of.

Really? We picked up Kongbo after Okonya decommitted. We may have missed on Smith, but I would have rather had him than Okonya, too.

No we didn't

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

Simmons is becoming a must and definitely is if we lose out on Kongbo.

 

[PA Vol]

Florida literally comes out of nowhere with this kid and he doesn't even wait for the visit to end to think things through.

Teenagers suck.

These types of commitments are fickle. Butch may be able to swing him our way.

Kid is an EE. That's a short window to work some magic.

The vaunted 3 star Smith chose to play for another school. I don't see how Tennessee can recover from this. Dang.

 

[VolinArizona]

Now we look like jacka**es telling chidi to look elsewhere

You assume we released him for Smith 100%

 

[unioncityvol]

Snap and clear boys. Damn. Warrior still there. JG is a game changer. RB, LT, we didn't even lose anyone. Honestly we can roll with who's left, add Warrior, go undefeated next year, gangbustas recruiting next cycle, no one even remembers. We are stacked with guys RS through sophomore. The nonwaivering foundation of commits are in key positions. Guys?

 

[scvolfan7]

You assume we released him for Smith 100%

I think it's a pretty safe assumption

 

[VolinArizona]

I don't.

 

[scvolfan7]

I don't.

Cool

Undefeated. With this staff. El. Oh. El.

Also will daniel butili get a look at de?

He'll play with his hand in the dirt eventually, IMO. There's been talk that Austin Smith might as well.

IMO DT is a bigger need than DE in our front 7 for this class.

 

[G8R8U2]

I thought Smith was never going to go on the visit and didn't even have a commitable offer?

Not unusual for a kid who's never visited to get his actual committable offer on his visit while meeting with the coach.

Per P Fort

That, along with Georgia defensive end Jordan Smith deciding to commit to Florida over Tennessee made for unenviable day. Most believed that Tennessee was in a good spot heading into the visit, but there was some concern at the end of the week as Smith went through with the visit. Butch Jones and Tommy Thigpen were scheduled to be with Smith Sunday night before Smith committed to Florida but we're not sure that visit took place.

Maybe you should go to whatever team's website that you cheer for. Trolling a board posing as a Vol fan makes you the equivalent of a 12 year old punk that talks smack on his bicycle and rushes off when the big kids start chasing you. Basically it makes you look like a giant lady part.

 

[Exiled]

"Iffy" at best? Based on what? A Bama offer? I'm assuming this is some sort of inferiority complex kicking in, which is surprising considering how well this staff has recruited the past two years.

NSD is still 2 months away. Things can change, and I'd rather the staff go after the best players even if that means you tell someone to look around in order to get the best's attention.

Did you read the reports and his comments coming out if his Washington visit?
