Nothing like a late July BOOM!

247 article saw said he would likely count towards 2016 class due to Corey Henderson possibly not qualifying and going to juco

I'm curious to see something definitive on where he counts class wise. VQ said Lewis is counted toward 2017. He's been on campus for a bit. Not sure how that makes sense if a guy coming in after him counts back to 2016.

I care about the numbers but I'm not gonna stress about it because I know Butch will make it work somehow

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

Interested to see what he weighs in at and what kind of shape he is in.

Some are saying DT but he sure looks lean to me in the recent pics. Maybe tackle in a couple years.

 

[Catbone]

Man this has been an odd off season for recruiting.

Nevertheless, BOOM!

 

[Volunteer2012]

Why did SC pass on him?

I was wondering the same. Especially with Alexis Johnson and henderson both being a question mark on whether either will play. Seems like there could be 2 open spots? Idk how all that works I've only recently started following recruiting.

Also I updated my other post with the excerpt

Why wouldn't Johnson play? I thought he was on probation until September, I assumed he'd be allowed back after that, unless I missed something or misunderstood

From what I understand he probably won't play

Possible that i missed something. I thought he was basically still in a wait and see type thing.

I don't believe either guy opens a spot. Only on the 85 total. Once you sign a guy in one of the 25 spots, he counts. Even if he doesn't qualify or gets booted. The article is pointing out Henderson didn't stick after signing. It saying he signed I believe says that spots gone. Otherwise there isn't a penalty for signing a non qualifier and I think that's why they recently changed that rule.

LOL

Honestly, I don't really worry about it.

Boom!!

 

[ACvol3]

So I guess his grades are why his rating was so low. .those offers don't lie.

 

[VFLBerg]

Last I read he has not even been re-admitted to school. I think his best case scenario at this point is a red shirt year.

Red Bank, as in Chattanooga?

247 article saw said he would likely count towards 2016 class due to Corey Henderson possibly not qualifying and going to juco

Edit: from said 247 article "McDaniel became the 23rd member of the Vols' 2016 class, although only 22 of those players are expected to be at Tennessee this year after three-star wide receiver Corey Henderson — who signed with the Vols in February — signed with Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, in late May because of academic issues."

Glad he's signed! Here’s how I think it's going to work:

Not counting McDaniel, we signed 22 for 2016—21 who are enrolled and one (Henderson) who signed and didn’t qualify, but still counts. At least three more were forward counted from 2015 (RDAIV, JRob and Young, I believe). Lewis, a late signee for 2016, is eligible to blue shirt, giving us 25 counters for 2016.

The “loophole” I believe we'll use is to forward count Young to 2017, since he didn’t OV, and give McDaniel his 2016 spot.

Important because it could create a pipeline to Grayson. Powerhouse.

If getting him means we increase our chances with Jamyest and Gibbs, I don't care if he's a 5'2 quarterback.

What? No. This is still going on today just not to such a great extent

Saban...Miles...Spurrier...are all guilty of oversinging before Nutt took it too far...Saban is one of the worst perpetrators too especially when it comes to grayshirting, sudden medical scholarships or booting kids off the team. Go back to his original Alabama signing class and I think you'll see what I mean. He signed like 32 I think? Of course he couldn't fit them all in, so that's when he got creative. Several medical scholarhips were issued, couple players mysteriously booted off team....Saban is a master at purging his roster.

Nutt gets all the attention from the ordeal, but in reality it should've been called the Nick Saban rule cause there is no one as crafty as Saban when it comes to oversigning.

Not sure I agree with this. Saban signed guys who he planned to put on his roster and play. Nutt signed guys who he knew would not qualify. It didn't matter if they didn't qualify, and he could come back later in Juco and say that he took a chance on him. The intent of each coach was different. I think Nutt abused it much more than Saban.
