Couple things here that bother me.
Losing Young to Taggart who had no previous relationship with him. If it happens that is. Thats a shot to the gut when this staff is supposed to be one of the best. Gotta think someone pushed him that way..
Cedric Tillman plays at one of the most well known schools in the country unlike Young. Virtually impossible for someone from BG to go unnoticed. Something doesnt add up here.
The WR board was shaken up Sunday with Jordan Young going silent after his OV to FSU. Tennessee went in-home with Young last week in hopes of him shutting down his recruitment, but the Noles were persistent and got him on campus. The Vols are not confident they can hold onto the Peach State receiver. They offered Cedric Tillman on Sunday, with the Las Vegas WR telling VolQuest.com that Tennessee wants him to take an OV after the NSD dead period. The Vols really like Tillman's size and skill-set. He's a legit 6-4 guy who ran a laser-timed 4.6. He had 14 touchdowns as a senior.
I think he pretty much said it himself, injuries killed his Sophomore season and he didn't play much his Junior year. Going from 6-0 175 to 6-3 205 Junior to Senior year is the biggest thing he had going for him. Looks to have very good hands and high points the ball well. Not a blazer but fast enough for his size.
It's amazing watching those clips. When the games are home games it looks like they are playing at a D1 school, then in most of the road game clips the fields look very poor quality.
Still does not explain how no other decent schools took a chance on him. You know there were tons of coaches to visit and or watch BG games. Guaranteed every Power 5 school watched tapes on them. You would think he would have stood out to at least one decent school, right?

He was another guy that didnt do anything until he was a senior.... he had 37 catches for 700 plus yards and over 20 ypc.
Who says another big school won't offer this kid. Everyone of the under-the-radar kids Pruitt has offered, some other Big school has followed suit and chased. Jordan Young, Trevon Flowers, etc. Pruitt's having to recruit against our record last year and doing a good job IMO.

Not true. Brandon Davis got no other offers. Neither did Youngs teammate we offered, Kurott or something. We remain his only offer.
Young is the far and away exception
Wasn't there a DT from FL that we offered and Miami or the gators swooped in and took him. He was pretty underrated. Eddie Smith isn't quite the same but he was underrated by most other than Pruitt. I'm not saying they're all gonna be that way, and Young was definitely the most extreme version, but it's not like he's the only example.
