'17 Current Commits/Targets

[Glitch]

Ok, so we've made the initial cut.

I think we really need to keep this kid instate. He's #1 overall on ESPN

Trey Smith, University School Of Jackson OT - Schools of Interest & Commit Status - Scout

Maybe you should check out his thread? His sister works at UT and has been very important to him since his mother passed. It looks good for Trey to wind up at UT. Don't jump in the deep end over here without your floaties.

 

[drvenner]

I guess you having him as a 4* and not a 5* is what threw me off.

What threw you off is you not paying very good attention to his recruitment. We are very strongly in it and have been for a long time.

Well, 247 Sports composite has him as a 4* & not a 5*: Trey Smith, University School Of Jackson, Offensive Tackle

The OP clearly states that the star ratings are the 24/7 composite rating. What else ya got?

Haha, I wasn't meaning it in a rude way. I was just saying ESPN has him as #1 so was just looking for a 5* and nothing else...that's all. Don't take it the wrong way.

Is Cimaglia designated as a scholly recruit? If so, why? Does he have a policy of putting a kicker on scholly every so often, no matter what?

The coaches cannot officially comment on recruits by name. However, Butch prizes Special Teams and I believe Cimaglia is slated for a scholarship. Trevor Daniel is a good example of why Specialists are easily worth the scholarship.

Thanks for the question. Next caller.

He will be coming in during Medley's senior season. Medley plays well enough, then Cimaglia red-shirts, and we have our scholarship kicker for the following 4 years. He may even be able to provide some competition if Medley struggles. It's not so much "every so often," as it is continuing to have a good scholarship kicker on the roster.

 

[BruinVol]

Do we have a list of EEs for this class anywhere?

 

[BornToBleedOrange]

That one interception that went right through PWs hands, should definitely not be on Dobbs numbers, though. Sure Dobbs has his faults, but he has been passing better this year.

 

[GBO Vols]

Do we have a list of EEs for this class anywhere?

Also would like to see this. Sorry if I missed it, but cannot find a list anywhere.

 

[VAVolsFan2009]

Glich, why isn't Moore's name on the list of priority targets? Isn't he our last OL priority for this class?

I will add him. I try to keep the thread edited but I ain't the Bologna man. No VIP access for me.

You're more than welcome to use anything you want from my thread buddy. :good!:

 

[VoLunTiTan7]

Anyone else think we need more DT targets?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Anyone else think we need more DT targets?

If we land Butler we'll have 3 committed

 

[tonybologna]

Anyone else think we need more DT targets?

For 2017 possibly so but for 2018 we already have targeted quite a few.

Why isn't Jordan Murphy on the list?

 

[bignewt]

McBride isn't either.

 

[rocytop2624]

With the way Butch and Co. stretch the recruiting field I think we could see some '17 commits happening in the near future. Let's fire this thing up and see what she'll do!

Great class coming together finally going to start having depth . How many can we sign?

Great class coming together finally going to start having depth . How many can we sign?

Only the coaches know for sure but the rumor is we will take around 27.

 

[jonnon111]

Only the coaches know for sure but the rumor is we will take around 27.

Why can't the experts even figure this out for sure? I don't know either, but why is it so "fuzzy" as everyone loves to say?

I understand with Kamara,mbut Barnett is a safe bet to go pro IMO. Other than that do we have a spot or not and what are the signing day surprises?
