5.5 Recruiting articles.

[Freak]

Here are a few articles from today that mention recruits that Tennessee has offered. Many of these may have already been posted in other threads.

·Marcus Lattimore: Mack picks up another offer

Mack will visit Auburn May 23rd for a junior day for Auburn's top five targets. Byrnes RB Marcus Lattimore may be going to that same event.

·Dan Koenig: Cape Coral High star Taurus Johnson visits alma mater

Offensive tackle Dan Koenig, defensive back/quarterback Jaylen Watkins, running back Spencer Boyd and cornerback Jeremy Davis each have received numerous scholarship offers throughout spring practices.

·Jake Heaps: Barton/NSCS Marketing Workout set

The marquee name for the 2011 class last year was Jake Heaps, Scout.com's No. 1 quarterback prospect from Skyline High School in Samammish, Wash. 25 offers later, the 6-foot-2, 195-pound signal-caller has narrowed his final choices to five - BYU, California, LSU, Tennessee and Washington. Heaps' teammate Jase Butorac is also expected to work out.

·T.J. Leifheit: Leifheit and Stud stay in touch

“I think that I will decide in October, which is about midway through my season and after all of my visits,” he said. “My big offers are LSU, Tennessee, USC and North Carolina, so I have a lot to think about.

·Lamarcus Joyner: Riggs Reflects On OSU Visit

Riggs was not alone during his trip. Fellow Raiders Lamarcus Joyner, Keion Payne and Duron Carter accompanied him to Columbus – Carter is a member of OSU’s class of 2009, while Joyner is being heavily recruited by the Buckeyes and holds a scholarship offer.
“Yeah, they are making a push for him,” Riggs said of OSU’s interest in Joyner. “I definitely noticed on the visit. A lot of people knew him, like fans and stuff. They’re definitely interested in Lamarcus.”

·Jesse Scroggins: New five-star CB among moves in Rivals100

Jesse Scroggins of Lakewood, Calif. Scroggins is a new entry to the Rivals100 after an amazing performance at a NIKE Camp and further analysis on film.

·J.R. Ferguson: Widespread contributions fuel High Octane to AAU championship

J. R. Ferguson, a standout defensive lineman with the St. John's-Catholic Prep football team and a forward on the Vikings' basketball team in the winter, collected a team-high 11 rebounds and scored seven points.

·John Fulton: Important stop

"We've been so busy with track on the weekends that we haven't made many visits, but we are planning to go to Clemson's camp in June," the junior indicated. "Me, (sophomore offered defensive tackle) Phillip Dukes, Dexter Morant and some other players on our team are all planning to go up for that."

·Corey Brown: Paterno makes his push

Penn State is on Under Armour All-American running back Corey Brown's (Springfield, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara) list and the same goes for quarterback Anthony Gonzalez (Bethlehem, Pa./Liberty).

·Jake Heaps: An eye on recruiting

All eyes are on Skyline QB Jake Heaps, who may make his decision later this month. Insiders believe his decision boils down to UW and BYU. While many believe Heaps will stay home, having a sister on the BYU campus is also a big draw for Jake.

·Kadron Boone: Florida WR now claims 20 offers

"I'm up to about 20 offers now," he said. "My top five right now would be Florida, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Clemson, and Georgia. They're all even right now. I wanna make sure the coach is gonna be there the whole time I'm there."

·William Gholston: ANDREW BONE: Alabama coaches blanket the country for spring ...

Several prospects who were known to receive visits at their schools last week included Dale Trimble, cornerback from Gadsden City High School; Victor Beasley, outside linebacker form Adairsville High School in Ga.; Brandon Burrows, defensive end from Walton High School in Marietta, Ga.; Desmond Brown, safety from Cherokee County High School in Centre; Justin Maclin, outside linebacker from Ridgeway High School in Memphis; and William Gholston, defensive end from Southeastern High School in Detroit, Mich.

·Cody Riggs: Florida corner names favorite

"I've gotten a bunch of offers already," he said. "Right now, my top five would be Notre Dame, Florida State, Georgia, Tennessee, and Wake Forest and they've all offered me."
The talented cornerback said one of those schools currently stands out above the rest.
"Notre Dame is my favorite right now," he said. "I went up there recently for a visit and really liked it.

·Heaps & Scroggins: May answers, volume one

A: Scroggins, for those unaware, is the mutl-talented QB from Lakewood, Calif. who suddenly seems to have the interest of just about everyone in the country. He visited UW for a scrimmage the second week of spring ball and says he is seriously considering the Huskies. He also just received an offer from LSU. And according to Scout.com coaches from Notre Dame, including Charlie Weis, will be at his school next week. Scroggins told Scout.com, in a story published today, that "everyone is still even'' but that Washington "is showing the most interest.'' Scroggins told Scout.com that he hopes to make a decision by the beginning of his senior season. There are rumblings that UW may take just one QB in this class and obviously the Huskies are also recruiting Skyline High's Jake Heaps as well as Nick Montana, the son of Joe. I've seen some conjecture referring to Scrogging as a fallback plan for UW should Heaps go elsewhere, but judging by the offers he has --- Nebraska, Tennessee, Arizona, Arizona State, among others --- he seems like a lot more than that.

·Chris Dunkley: Stacy Hicklin: As long as transfer policy is punchless, high ...

In the past four months, Pahokee was on the receiving end of two talented transfers in wide receivers Chris Dunkley (Royal Palm Beach) and Fred Pickett (Glades Central). Inlet Grove standouts Leroy Kelson and Mike Ruiz headed to Dwyer and Tony Kibler left Okeechobee for Glades Day.

Controlling this free-agent frenzy-type atmosphere is like herding cats. Until the Legislature releases the handcuffs on the Florida High School Athletic Association to craft a transfer policy with teeth, nothing will change. Transfers will become the rule, not the exception.

·A.J. Cann: Ellington attracting two sets of coaches

-A.J. Cann (6-3, 265) of Bamberg-Ehrhardt has not officially trimmed his list of more than 30 offers but he can identify a solid seven favorites — USC, Clemson, North Carolina, N.C. State, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech and Tennessee. "I'm going to make a decision earlier than most people think but I don't know when," Cann said. It will probably be before my season."

Garrison Smith - Scout.com: Garrison Smith Staying Busy

Many players have the Gators at or near the top at this time. Florida is right there with LSU and Georgia for Smith. Like so many others that have the Gators at or near the top of their board it will be very important to get these players on campus and Garrison is no different. When players have this amount of interest in particular teams without visiting they normally come away even more impressed and it will go a long way in determining where he and they end up

wow, thats a lot to digest. good to see Tennessee in so many top 5's though.

 

[dyer_maker]

Interesting mention of Weis going to see Scroggins, thought that was a no no in May.

 

[bud0323]

Thanks Freak.

 

[matts42012]

Thanks Freak.

welcome to VN. stay awhile.

Thanks for the insights.

UT fans are way more interested in recruiting than my UF colleagues. Sad to say that I learn more here than at the Gator boards.

Hope they get Garrison Smith to Gainesville. He's only in Georgia, can't be that hard to drive down.

Back to this jamarcus hines kid why is everyone hating on him I mean he was a beast in middle school along with the eric watson's, derrick murrell's and more he was top 3 in the city. the only reason he didnt go to south panola or olive branch is because he wanted to keep it in the state and heart of tn which is memphis and every since hes been at fairley they have done exceptionally well he was starting as a freshman he was the otb pre-season all state team and more alos he was the mvp of the 2007-08 hoover football 7on7 he help lead fairley to second place losing the championship to olive branch 35-28. He had 9 int's in 6 games. against whitestation,bishop byrne,harding academy,and more come on!! You still give him no respect he won the freaking 2009 Rivals defensive Mvp with ease. Straight locking people DOWN only one receiver caught a pass on him and that was a comeback (Thrown very good by brunetti) come on keiwon malone didnt even wanna see him at the end when the had their best 2 wr's and 2 db's he went to the back he had the crowd in aWWWw!! And yes hes under the radar but dont be suprise if hes a 5star sleeper beleive me ask the Tenn recruit who he talked too. No wait ask the georgia recruit who all gave him one on ones and their personal cell number but no you guys wanna talk about other people who were their and didnt even step close to his talent level as a db. As a freshman he averaged 16+ yrds a touch at fairley high he recorded 60 tackles 3 int's as a sophmore while missing 3 games. 5'10 172 34 inch vertical he powerball tossed a 38 while messing around because all high school coaches were jocking him when he left fairley wanting him to come and play for them!! whatever tho I guess Tn real talent is always under looked. He just dont have the money to go to camps and things but coach ed orgeron Told him to make SURE he be at the vols camp june 2nd
