'17 MS WR Jordan Murphy (UT signee)

Jordan Murphy can really high point the ball when the ball is thrown up to him . I really hope he qualifies .

I've been really high on JM ever since he committed! I knew he would get a bump in ratings before it was all said & done. Just looking at his highlights tells you all you need to know.

eh, you do have cases like Preston Williams. and then there was a DL that was committed or signed who failed out or was suspended/kicked out. cheating in HS or something?
 
Visiting Ole Miss this weekend, officially on flip watch. Since some of the SEC schools can admit you as long as you have a pulse, this could be a destination for him.

In his 247 interview he mentions he's looking at JUCOs as well, that does not sound good insofar as him qualifying. He is confident he will be eligible, however.
 
Murphy, the highest-rated prospect among the four wide receivers in Tennessee’s class, went on his official visit to Knoxville the weekend of Jan. 13 and continued to indicate after the visit that he’s still firmly committed to the Vols.

“I’m set on them. … I don’t think nothing could change my mind, really,” he told GoVols247 last week.

But the 6-foot-1, 170-pound Murphy also didn’t close the door on Ole Miss, saying last week that he’s “just going on the visit to see how it is.” Sources have said the Rebels are cautiously optimistic about their chances of being able to steal him away from Tennessee going into this weekend.

“They’re trying to get me down there, but I don’t know if I’m going to go or not,” Murphy said last week. “I don’t know what made them come back (to me). Since they got the new receivers coach (Jacob Peeler), he said that he’s been looking at me, that he wants me to be a part of their team. That’s the only (other) team I’m hearing from.”

Holding onto Murphy has remained a priority for Tennessee in recent weeks, but it’s worth noting that sources have continued to indicate that he still has work to do academically.

The risk of Murphy failing to qualify academically was serious enough for Murphy to acknowledge last week that he would “consider looking into some jucos,” although he said he feels “confident I’ll make it.”

At this point, it still appears there's a good chance Tennessee will be able to keep Murphy in its class. But his possible visit to Ole Miss is at least worth watching this weekend.

I think if Pouncey wants in Fant goes blue. Don't know where Payton fits in all this.
 
"On Murphy...

Ole Miss is expecting him to be in Oxford this weekend for a visit. Obviously, that's cause for concern and that's why Pouncey is visiting Tennessee this weekend.

Now, we are all keeping tabs on who actually ends up visiting where tomorrow."
