'24 AL EDGE Jordan Ross (Tennessee)

[KingVFL]

Unless @KingNico has news...

My guess is the kid will pull out an Auburn hat out of no where for shock value.

edit: nm, looks like Texas

I haven’t heard anything definitive but I’d guess Tennessee

Kid could pick Callahan and Callahan still waffle about his prediction a little.

Josephs / Pearce
Herring / Bradley
Ross / Okoye

Would not be a bad run of edge guys. Not bad at all

exactly

Could possible be a great run of edge guys. Been a long time since we put together three straight classes of pass rushing freaks like that.

We need guys like Ross as much or more than larger guys like Williams N. or Kam Franklin. Those larger guys in the 260 range can sometimes be tweeners that are not as explosive and can't actually get sacks in the SEC. Ross is very good against the run and actually very disciplined in his lane integrity. Maybe we can finally start to play 2 Leos together starting in 2024. We need to generate more sacks. I liked what we did against LSU last year when we ran games and stunts, but in other games we just played too vanilla and let the offense pick us apart. Need to generate a pass rush and it will greatly improve our secondary.

I disagree with that. It’s just less common for large dudes to have the same speed, because most that size are carrying bad weight to get there. But the best programs have guys that are both large and fast. And the best prospects, the nwaneris and franklins, can do both - be big and fast.

IMHO…I see Okoye on the other side with Weathersby, Hobbs, West, Lindstrom, etc.

Talk about stacked on the edges:

WDE: Pearce/Josephs/Herring/Bradley/Ross
SDE: West/Hobbs/Weathersby/Okoye/Lindstrom

Lawd!!

I will be in Vestavia Hills, Alabama this weekend to meet with some people. Hope everyone in the forum is doing well.

Callahan has never been certain of a thing in his life.

Forgive my ignorance here. Do you work in the videography world by chance? Hayes Fawcett maybe

I get what you’re saying, but we really need to develop some speed guys. We have a bunch of 260 pound guys now, especially with Hobbs coming on. We need some undersized speed guys to rotate in and create havoc. Hopefully we will start to see that this year with Josephs, Pearce, and Herring. Seems like Bradley is a year away. But Ross would be another great addition.

I think he is choosing the Vols on process of elimination. Texas and Florida decided to go different directions and Bama is not a factor

Texas has not gone a different direction

I think you’re a troll and should be banned.

Looks like he's looking down at The Power T = vol lock IMHO

according to their mod they have

 

[tnhunter 10]

AP kiss of death (this cycle). Kids probably gonna pick someone else and VQ gonna tell us it changed last minute.

Oh well. Next…

 

[MyAll]

Feels like a great sign for us. Miss on 2 big targets in a week and Ross a guy that was planning on committing later decides to move it up right after kam.

Can you link or bump?

 

[JCVol00]

So will Ross be the SDE and Okoye the Leo, or versa vice?

I just read it on Volquest. A poster said he read that on their recruiting board a few weeks back they had moved on from Ross and added different names to their board

So we went from “mod” to “my buddy said a random poster said”

So we went from “mod” to “my buddy said a random poster said”

Also, “moved on” could mean “passed on” or “gave up trying,” which are much different things.

How dare you say that??? He most certainly is certain…well, kinda, sorta….maybe…it’s possible

Texas 247 posted a 5 star recruiting round up about 3 hours ago. There was about 2 sentences in that write up pertaining to Ross, and it said both TN and Florida were ahead of Texas for Ross.
