2020 recruiting class finish prediction

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

This is already wrong

Not a bad thing tbh

 

[codyg10]

Smalls? Sewell? And Tucker isn’t flipping. Clemson recruits don’t decommitt

I think getting Baron and pulling out a 9-4 season could possibly be enough to flip him and I think those are two very good possibilities

Considering Clemson’s last legitimate decommitment was Dalvin Cook in 2014 I doubt it. Would be something tho

At 20 recruits that I would pick UT for today, I’ve got TN at 256 pts. I did add a 5 Star not on the OP list and added Ty Jordan as RB. Leaned UT’s way on the in-state 4 star guys. How many is UT taking?

I’d say 275-280 range should be the landing spot.

Is the 5-star Reggie Grimes? That’s who I have, even though he’s now a very high 4-star. I think that in the end he decides he doesn’t ever want to utter the phrase “Go Cocks” and chooses the Vols.

So I’ve got:
1 of Arik Gilbert/Darnell Washington
Rakim Jarrett
Reggie Grimes
Omari Thomas
Tyler Baron
Jay Hardy
Len’Neth Whitehead
Bryson Eason
Mordecai McDaniel
Ty Jordan (maybe, I guess?)

If we land one of Sewell or Smalls, which I’m not counting on currently, I think Eason probably gets the git? Maybe? IDK. That would be just unbelievable if we got one of those.

IDK how many we can take, but that’s 24 players for a score of 282, which would’ve ranked 6th in 2019. This would be the best class I’ve ever seen UT land in my short time following UT football (2010) and that includes 2015, which was a very overrated class with like 70 players in it.

We will be ranked #10 when it's all said and done class 21 and 22 however we should be much higher

UT doesn’t want Tucker. Which is why he chose Clemson.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

UT doesn’t want Tucker. Which is why he chose Clemson.

Do you know how many we’ll take in this class?

As of right now I see

5 Stars (2)
Washington
Rakim Jarret

4 Stars (11)
Omari Thomas
Keshawn Lawrence
Jay Hardy
Tyler Baron
Dominic Bailey
Cooper Mays
Len’neth Whitehead
Harrison Bailey
Art Green
Bryson Eason
Bj Ojulari

3 Stars (8)
Hyatt
Williamson
Spraggins
Robinson
Calloway
Hodge
Jenkins
McDaniel

2 Stars (1)
Albright


22 Commits. Room for more but couldn’t think of anyone else...maybe beckwith? But these 22 put us at 273.26, which would be good for 11th last year and 10th in 2018. If you add 1-2 more quality players it would be top 10 both years.

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

Just win. Empty promises only work for so long. If we get to 8-9 wins, we get a payoff.

Would be a great class, as good of one in the country in my opinion. Obviously there will be ones that are ranked higher, but as far as filling needs it would be 10/10 even though I’d prefer Gilbert over Washington since he could likely play WR also and him and Bailey already have a lot of experience playing together

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Serious question, but why do so many think we will land Jarrett? BTW, I think we finish 10th or 11th.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Grimes, Sewell, smalls or Gilbert.

I meant as in I feel good with the ones I put up there. Of course we can land those guys.

Oh I know I was just saying that your last spot goes to one of those guys.

Can’t wait to see how it shakes out.

How many can we take in 2020? The max, 25?

23 seems to be the prevailing theory, Gibbs and Solomon counting against.

I've heard they count against '20.

Pruitt said 25 next year on The Nations last night.

 

[bignewt]

They don't.

works for me.

 

[jakez4ut]

Pruitt said 25 next year on The Nations last night.

yeah, i heard that and was very happy about it...lol.

we're sitting at 22 right now with 14 commits. EVEYRONE ahead of us has more players committed. ALOT of the the programs ranked behind us have more committs.

as of right now there's not a program on the board that has more upward mobility than us.

i think our ceiling is probably 6th, maybe 5th, but that would require us getting basically everyone at the top of the board.

i don't think top 10 is a pipe dream at this point. i actually am leaning toward it being very realistic....particularly if the season goes "well".

 

[MadWorld]

upward mobility than us.

LOL, because there is only one way to go... UP

 

[jakez4ut]

LOL, because there is only one way to go... UP

yeah, that was the point.
