'18 CA CB Olaijah Griffin (USC signee)

Gonna be interesting to see how and where this staff recruits the 2019 class and beyond. I’m assuming it will pretty much look like this but w a bit of variance on a yearly basis with a few other states sprinkled in (NC/SC/VA)

Based on 25 signee cap:

State of Tennessee: 8 signees
Georgia: 6 signees
Alabama: 2 signees
Florida: 3 signees
Texas: 2 signees
California: 2 signees
Louisiana: 2 signees
 
He will still have the parents in his ear pushing USC. I have no doubt Pruitt can convince OG that UT is the right place for him, but Pruitt is also going to have to convince mom that UT is the best place for her son to be, and that will apparently be a tougher sell.

We made it through the USC vist as co-leaders. After the buzz wears off where will we be? I think In pretty good shape. Of course, it’s always tough to pull a SoCal kid from USC or UCLA, but I like our chances.

I think the kid really likes the SEC. That’ll be the difference IMO.

Ron, if you're at the WV or Fl game in the fall, would love to grab a beer with you. Not sure of the rest of the regular season except Bama, because of work.

Once PMs start working for me (if ever) we can set it up.

Come on man, if you’re trying to lure someone into being ax murdered, don’t have ax in your name

Seriously?

Hell yes. If Sgt Carter could land a #4 class, why couldn’t a real recruiter and football coach like Pruitt not do just as well or better. I fully expect top 3-5 classes from Pruitt, why shouldn’t we? May not always get there, but we should expect it imo.

I'll second that....especially the Newport News area of Va. Shy was our last good get out of Carolina. We missed a couple of good LBer's that Clemson nabbed in the past few years.

Osbourne was highly ranked and his high school has another top db in 2019, Tyus Fields. I think he's Mark Fields brother, but idk that as a fact. Just assumption based on the school and name

Eric Crosby is from Newport News area, so is Darrell Taylor. Tuttle is from Midway which is close to High Point/Winston Salem

Not that it really matters, it’s all a part of the greater Hampton Roads area, but Crosby is from Virginia Beach not Newport News. Taylor however is from a town closer to Richmond than Newport News.

Is that all part of the “Tidewater” area ?
 
Why was Vol twitter dumb enough in the first place to think that following a kid would have any bearing on his decision?

I don't feel like Griffin trolled for followers. He seemed to have genuine interest in Tennessee, but has subsequently been on a visit to USC while also having strong family pressure to stay close to home. Pruitt still has his in-home, and I'm sure that Alontae Taylor and others are in his ear. We'll just have to wait and see.

Also, we did get the JUCO tight end that appeared to just be asking for followers, so who knows, that might be why Vol twitter thought it was a decent strategy.
