I’m no scout, but I don’t see a rating for him, his offer list isn’t that impressive, and I’m personally wary of taking so many WRs this year (got Taylor, hopeful on Copeland or Hall/Olave) when the in state wr talent is loaded next year and we just took 6 receivers last year.

Like I said, in Pruitt I trust.

If Pruitt sees it then it must be so. I don't scout players so WTH do I know.

The style of play in the SEC there is no linebacker that can cover this guy in the slot.... you have to play zone and hope you can pressure qb. Or bring in your Nickle back and risk getting ran on.

Seems Pruitt is breaking down film on Renfroe & wants one himself. Or Helton is wanting a Ju-Ju Smith type player next year for his style of Offense.

Tennessee because of early signing period has to take what's left at this point.

Keep in mind right now after early signing and now a dead period offensive & defensive coaches can now focus on what was signed to now what is needed for next year.

The top players are still going to be recruited. Both sides are going to go after a couple players to fill a need too though.

I don't think this guy is necessarily a take just because he's visiting.

We have a lot of official visits to hand out since Butch didn't use any for 8 weeks.

Seems to me he's a fallback plan.

Looks like he was at GA Southern for a yr (caught a few passes) then went JUCO.

HIGH SCHOOL: Played for Coach Brian Allen at Columbia High … An honorable mention selection to the Florida Times-Union’s 2015 All-First Coast football team … Had over 50 receptions his senior season, amassing over 1,200 yards of total offense … Had 13 total TDs.

Evan Berry is gone....

Kid has moves & speed to be a slot receiver & a great special teams returner.

Keep in mind Pruitt saw last year versus Clemson what a shifty slot receiver can do.

How many of those "legacy guys" have actually worked out?

Speaking of lefty's I have a 5'10" twelve year old southpaw who can throw a baseball thru a brick wall with movement on it. The only problem is he is just as likely to throw a ball or hit a batter as he is to throw a strike. We've tried everything from pitching from the stretch to keep it simple to taking a little off his pitches. Nothing seems to work. Any pitching coaches out there with suggestions or should he just concentrate on football.

His problem is placement and touch. Have him throw a tennis ball from about 10 yards at a wall.... graduate back to 15-20 yards as hard as he can.

The key is that he catches the ball he throws in the air on the bounce off the wall. Doing this he will learn touch and ball placement. it really works👍

Have him eventually move closer as hard as he can for reflexes too

Have him throw a larger ball( softball or other ) something that just based on size will slow his velocity down. Practice with that for awhile monitoring improvement along the way.

Sounds like dodgeball may be his game...

Try shortening the distance to throw. Get close accuracy and gradually increase distance.
You might let us know what area you live in and people can suggest good instructors.

Thanks..we're in West Tennessee. He's had a couple of high school coaches and a pitching instructor who used to pitch in the Mets system. They were interested and approached me. They thought they had him fixed. He goes to the mound strikes out the first 2 and hits the next kid and boom he can't find the plate.

This. And have him work on holding his balance before release. And finish the release, while starting short and increasing the distance.
