9 spots left, how does the class finish up?

[mooreaj21]

If you count Loften & Dixon then we have 9 remaining spots in this class. How do you think we finish up?

IMO:

OL:

4* Antonio Richardson
4* Cameron Clear

LB:

3* Gionni Paul

DB:

3* Derek King
3* Kadetrix Marcus/Geraldo Orta ( first one to commit )

DT:

4* Gabe Wright
4* Mickey Johnson

WR:

4* DeAnthony Arnett
3* Vincent Dallas


Hubbs said this morning that the staff might not take Dixon, that would leave 1 more spot & I think we would take 1 more DT.

4* JUCO Maurice Couch

 

[yont sum iss?]

I'd take it.

 

[Morpheus]

Are you including Young?

 

[Burhead]

I don't know why we wouldn't take Dixon...

Honestly I'd like two JUCO DTs and at least one JUCO OL in there.

 

[mooreaj21]

Are you including Young?

Yes

 

[KnoxVillain]

I thought Loften and Dixon could be back counted? Or something...

 

[UTMark]

I'd like the 2 JUCO DT's. We'll be fine at OL next year.

I would definitely drop Dixon for Couch if we are taking those 2 DBs.

Your allowed 25 with each class. We signed 23 last year which allows us to backcount 2 making the total number we can sign 27 this year.

 

[tvols75]

WR: Arnett, Dallas
TE: Clear (will be a DL before it's over)
OL: Richardson
DL: Wright, Johnson, JUCO DT
LB: Paul/Dunaway
DB: King and C. Jones

I say Dixon doesn't come.

we cant oversign.

 

[KnoxVillain]

So with Devrin committed we have 17 filled. Doesn't that leave us with 10 spots?

 

[sammyjoey]

1. OL Antonio Richardson
2. OL/TE Cameron Clear
3. WR DeAnthony Arnett
4. WR Vincent Dallas
5. DT Gabe Wright
6. DT Mickey Johnson or JuCo Maurice Couch (if we can't land Wright or we don't think Johnson will qualify)
7. DE Catrell Boyd
8. LB Lateek Townsend or Gionni Paul or Jairi Dunaway (if he gets his grades up and we aren't able to land one of the other two)
9. CB Derek King
10. CB Marques Dixon or Christian Jones (if Dixon fails to qualify or we decide not to take him)

Devrin is the 16th commit and then Loften and Dixon make it 18 if Dixon ends up here.

I would throw in Chris Jones as the other corner ahead of Orta. Should that 10th spot be available it's a toss up to me of whether they would go for another DT or a DE like Pagan. Have a feeling we will be a player for him on NSD.

 

[KnoxVillain]

I see now...What's the word on Dixon anyway?

 

[Lord Vader]

we cant oversign.

We can. LSU and Auburn did it this past year. That's why LSU had to make that one dude leave.

 

[sammyjoey]

So with Devrin committed we have 17 filled. Doesn't that leave us with 10 spots?

Young makes 16
Loften (hopefully) will make 17
Dixon (if we want him) would make 18

If we take Dixon, we've got 9 other spots to fill
If we pass on Dixon, we've got 10 more spots to fill

 

[tvols75]

We can. LSU and Auburn did it this past year. That's why LSU had to make that one dude leave.

Do you think we may oversign 1 or 2 in case someone doesn't qualify?

 

[Lord Vader]

I see now...What's the word on Dixon anyway?

He is re-taking the ACT on October 9th.

He says the Vol staff wants him in this class and he plans on being here in January.

Hubbs isn't convinced he is a take right now.

 

[Lord Vader]

Do you think we may oversign 1 or 2 in case someone doesn't qualify?

Yes, and with our luck getting guys qualified, I hope we do.

 

[mooreaj21]

We can but we wouldnt be able to put the oversignees on our roster would we? We would have to make them leave like LSU did right?

 

[KnoxVillain]

Man...seeing all the names of kids we are still looking at...I kinda feel we might've taken a few commitments too early. When you think about 27 spots to begin a new class with it seems like a lot...but they are filling up quickly.

 

[PA Vol]

i wouldnt mind seeing us turn a few heads our way between December and February and then maybe drop one or two of the current commits.

 

[tvols75]

Yes, and with our luck getting guys qualified, I hope we do.

I'm really liking this class and the fact that it will address DT depth, DB depth, OL depth, speed on offense, and bigger/faster LBs. Since I've been following recruiting, I think as far as a class that will benefit UT the most, this one may be it if we close with Richardson, Clear, Wright, Johnson, etc...

Are you optimistic right now?
