'18 SC JUCO DE Dorian Gerald (UT Commit 07/06/17)

OJ Owens was not a JUCO kid. Came straight out of a small ball high school in North Carolina.

That's what I thought too, but wasn't 100% positive. I believe he was a 5 star and was my favorite recruit that year. He was a killer, just a fearless hitting machine in high school. Maybe the best highlights I have ever seen, but like I said destroyed his shoulders and I don't think he ever played a down at UT

He played in many games but never started.

I can't remember him playing ever, but that doesn't mean he didn't. It had to be mop up duty and in his 1st or 2nd year, because he had to quit because his shoulders were destroyed.
 
Yep, looked it up. He played in 18 games, which shocked me. He had 4 total tackles and a punt block against Miss St. Had shoulder problems all 4 years and redshirted, one of them
 
“I was almost about to commit right after my Top 5,” he said. “The commitment could come anytime.”

Here’s what Gerald said about each of his five finalists.

Tennessee: "When I went to Tennessee, I felt like I was home again. I felt like it was so genuine. Tennessee, they have great coaches. I talk to almost every coach on the staff. Coach (Butch) Jones, he’s really the head-runner for my recruitment. He’s the main one recruiting me everyday. Tennessee is a great place with great people, and I could just tell it was genuine when I got there. It’s been continuous since the first day. Since they first offered."

South Carolina: "Me and coach (Lance) Thompson, we’ve been in contact a while. Way before I was even offered. He’s very straightforward with what he wants to do with me. I know that there’s a huge opportunity for me to play there. They need my position badly. They’re doing a great job. They’re recruiting me everyday. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t hear from coach (Will Muschamp). Every single day. Our relationship is growing. And of course it’s the home state."

Louisville: "It’s an offer that I wanted since high school. I really like Louisville. Coach (Chris) K, that’s my guy. He’s been recruiting me for a long time. That’s my guy. We have a great relationship. Their situation, if and when I get there, they won’t have any defensive ends. Both their starting defensive ends are leaving and I believe some guys behind them are leaving as well. The opportunity is huge there."

LSU: "Coach O(rgeron). I remember our first call. I don’t talk to him as much anymore but I talk to everyone else at LSU a lot. Coach O, the first thing that he said to me, ‘Dorian, all these other coaches are recruiting you, but I’m going to get you.’ That stayed with me. They’ve stuck at it."

Florida: "Coach (Chris) Rumph. He’s doing a great, great job. I can relate to him a lot. He’s from the same area I’m from. My mom knows him. My family knows him. We talk about more than just football. We’ve had great conversations about life, finances. I’ve asked him all sorts of questions and he’s answered them all and that stuff matters to me. Coach (Brady) Hoke, over at Tennessee. They do a great job of that, too. It’s more than football with them."

Why does Lance Thompson recruit like crazy for everyone BUT US?
 
To me he's a backup plan for Davis. I think he would've committed a long time ago if the coaches didn't think they have a good chance at Davis

No way he's a backup plan IMO, also I believe I read somewhere that the staff wants to take 6 DL.
