2023 Target List

[bleedingTNorange]

Dilione was 1/14 players to get a vote for #1 overall in 2023, will be interesting to see where he ends up but 5 star is definitely not out of the question.

Find a way to close on Estrella and things look great…hard to think we can’t land 1 of Demary (who we seem to lead for) or Cosby (who we seem to be Top 2-3 with upcoming visit still and would have his teammate Dilione committed.

Yeah, them teaming up this year would be the one good thing about him not reclassifying. A positive influence around Cosby in his recruitment can't hurt.

Dilione reminds, offensively, of Cason Wallace with his ability to get to and finish thru traffic. He may have a better jumper, too. Wallace is an elite defender, so hard to expect FD to match him there.

Yep. Till like August 24th I think. First day of classes!

August 24 is the first day of classes, but the final day for registration is August 30

Yea his offensive game from the guard spot is something I’m not sure we’ve had since idk when honestly

Staff feels like we lead for Demary and Estrella, and Dillione has indicated he will commit in next few weeks. Estrella is still “talking to his family” between now and 9-2, but I continue to feel good with no new visits coming. No info on Cosby or others.

Amazing. A class of Phillips, Dillone, Estrella, and Demary is almost the best case scenario for 2023. Only way this class would have been better is if we landed Edwards. This is the next best scenario. Would be quite a haul if it happens.

I wonder if Cosby is a take if we land Dilione and Demary, which may explain why you've heard nothing barring pending commitments from D and D.

Just think a couple of weeks ago, people were already throwing in the towel in this years recruiting class.

Now, we have huge momentum again.

Love it.

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

That class would be such a good transitional class after so many guys graduating this year or leaving early.

I don’t know how the board has shifted, but heard staff was surprised that Dilione has kept us #1 through visits to Bama and WF. We have the least amount of time invested in him vs other top recruits, but he loved his visit and hasn’t backed off of that since.

Wow, really? So he plans to commit in a matter of weeks and even our staff can’t believe it? Not sure whether I find that impressive or concerning. Regardless, the stuff (predictions) on Dilione, today, has some merit, I guess? If a commitment is still weeks away, I’m guessing that he still plans on being a 2023 kid, then, and not reclassifying.

Fwiw I was told if we land Dilione we are probably passing on Demary

From what I was told the kid liked Bama a lot and family liked WF, both sides liked Tennessee and agreed and it.

Correct

So would turn up the heat on Cosby then?

I no longer think Demary is part of this class, even though I wish that was incorrect

Yes, staff really likes him and I think that was part of the movement with Dilione

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Shaw said Estrella is an Iowa/Syracuse battle.

Shaw also said Dillone could possibly reclassify. But, he hasn't been told anything definitive. Looks like 2023.

No bueno

So what kind of timeline we thinking with Dilione? Stoerner thinks a matter of weeks, it sounds like.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Yeah, his info could be outdated, seems like he is basing it entirely off the fact that his Iowa visit "went really well." But, not sure.

I’ll be shocked if Estrella isn’t a Vol.
