'16 NC OG Landon Dickerson

[oryankees]

Just for the heck of it I assumed we had 5 spots due to Stewart and Joe Young's injury.

So I put Nigel Warrior, Tyler Byrd, Derrick Brown, Jonathan Kongbo, and Landon Dickerson into the class calculator on 247.

If we got all 5 of them, it would give us 271.87 points, which is good for 3rd in the team recruiting rankings this year (so far) and would have put us 10th in 2015.

Ok, so 4 EEs, 17 current commits, and 4 spots available for the max number of 25.

No back counts from last year? Thought Perry was a blue shirt counting towards this class.

There were 4 blue shirts according to some which count towards this class. 17 + 4= 21, 25-21= 4 spots remaining. We evidently can't blueshirt anyone this year because all the commits are recruited, meaning they've been on an official or have been visited by coaches. The 4 blueshirts seem to be the question mark. Some say RDAIV counts toward this class but I've seen quotes from the rule book that disputes this. I guess we'll get some closure Wednesday.

What happened to Joe Young?

Numbers casualty, uh I mean he got hurt

 

[butchna]

What happened to Joe Young?

He wasn't available for the bowl. I don't remember if he played against Vandy...if so maybe during that game? Strange if true.

 

[Weezer]

What happened to Joe Young?

Supposedly suffered a significant injury during bowl practices. The extent is unknown, but it's been hinted it could be career threatening.

*not an insider - I just read a lot of different sites and piece the info together.

He scored a TD against vandy. Injury had to have happened during bowl practice

Joe Young as in Joseph Young the RB on our roster?

That is correct

 

[sanddune50]

I think there are 4 counters from last year: Lovingood, Perry, RDAIV, and Joe Young. If the right ones want in by Wednesday and Stewart still wants in, I bet they count him in the 2017 class. That would be 4 spots. Only way I can see 5 is if we part ways with a commit or maybe RDAIV somehow didn't count as a graduate transfer.

I don't remember Joe Young being a blue shirt. I was under the impression he was a walk on.

No...he was a definite blueshirt...very late addition.

Pope also said he spent "a ton" of time this weekend with five-star O-tackle Landon Dickerson this weekend, and that he's "like 95 percent" certain Dickerson will come to Tennessee if he goes to the place he feels closest to in his heart, for whatever that's worth.

Lots of star-gazers showing their rear ends in this thread.

Yes Dickerson is talented, but we've jumped at other OL earlier for a reason. The coaches obviously don't fully agree with his Recruiting Site rankings.

Id take a dickerson byrd warrior kongbo finish especially if brown goes to au.

Any 4 of those 5 would be an awesome finish.

No doubt. Hell give me 3 and that's awesome. 4 is holy F territory

This is where I am. I think this may be the finish or swap Dickerson for Moss. Very solid class if so.

Its ok to have different opinions. Bring me all the top talent possible. We are TN and not Cincinnati

If we miss on Kongbo, who might fill that spot?

 

[butchna]

So we can keep Niehaus?
