17 VA DT Breyon Gaddy (UT commit 7/19/16)

At first I thought you were making a joke because our entire class is 3 stars. But I'm guessing you're serious?

It's not a completely ridiculous assertion. Some view him as a man without a position at the next level and others see a crazy good athlete who'll grow into a DT body that played QB just a few years prior. He's not the only one to think that Brandon might end up being the better of the two long term.

I like the 3 star brother better. More potential IMO.

I will trust the coaches more than you

Dead serious.

I like 6'5" 285 lbs better than 6'4" 321 lbs of largely sloppy weight.

Plus Brandon moves better. Both will be good. But Brandon has a higher ceiling.

 

[Evol]

I don't know anything about either one of them, but what you guys are saying makes sense. Just wanted to clarify whether you really believed that or were just making a joke.

I think I read he's at 353 now.

A player that's athletic carrying weight is better than someone adding weight. The player that adds the weight, it takes them longer to adapt to the weight being added. While the guy used to carrying the weight. when he loses the weight it makes him more agile and athletic.

Yeah, D4H's "eye for talent" got tossed out the window after his multiple incorrect NFL draft evaluations

All the draft proved was that NFL GMs and HCs are not on D4Hs level as a talent evaluator.

So why would they be any better NEXT class? :dunno:

You make an excellent point. That will spell doom for D4Hs 1st round draft grades for Dobbs, Hurd, and Sutton. On the bright side, him saying Barnett will slip in the draft should lock him in as a top 3 pick.

“We both going to work hard and try to get that spot,” Breyon said of potentially joining Crosby at Tennessee.

Seem like it might kinda be a forgone conclusion at this point?

I think it's been that way awhile. Just a matter of time and as long as their offers were committable. By setting a date, I think they are ours.

 

[Orange And Garnet]

Announcing tomorrow at 2pm!

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Double boomage tomorrow?

 

[Orange And Garnet]

Double boomage tomorrow?

I would think so

 

[SoMissVol]

I would think so

Did he tweet that he is announcing or did a press guy say something?

Looks like a change of plans for 4star DT @GaddyBreyon and brother @bgaddy97. Decisons coming tomm. Both down to Tennessee and Clemson!



You gotta be kidding me. This from a recruiting guy in their area.

That's only to give the perception that we are sticking it to Clemson.

Probably. Its ok though. DL help is always welcome. Its been clear these two have wanted in the Vols class for a while.

 

[Aesius]

DT class is looking solid.

 

[BigOrange15]

DT class is looking solid.

That was definitely one spot where we had no room for error in this class.

 

[Orange And Garnet]
