‘23 AL S Sylvester Smith

[bigl3327]

I didn’t know if JUCO guys could or not

They can. Hadden was a JUCO that transferred here after only being at Auburn for the Spring semester.

 

[wrangler]

Anybody can transfer

If there's still a spot for them. There may be better players available for open spots now, with our recent success.

For sure, just meant he’s allowed to transfer

 

[Pacer92]

Hope this kid is solid…helluva ball player..

I was mostly taking a shot at the recruits that decided UT wasn't a good choice. I'm hoping we come out ahead on it.

 

[VolByLaw]

Who if any do you see decommitting in our 2023 class?

I also think u have to watch Sylvester smith with Auburn making a change and new staff looking for splash commitments.

Worst decision of his life if true

Would be the dumbest decision a kid could make

Would be the dumbest decision a kid could make

Why would you choose to leave a national title contender to go to a dumpster fire? That would be a pretty stupid move. Plus, he could reasonably play pretty easily here given we lose two safeties this year.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I mean flipping from a current national title contender to a bottom dweller without a head coach is certainly a decision you can make. Not a good one. But it’s a decision.

 

[Vols330]

Any chance we aren't pushing hard here to make room for Tyler Scott?

I doubt that, unless he's just not keeping in contact. Smith is one heck of an athlete with the size to compete early.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Really hope we keep this kid. Best db commit we have.

 

[VolInDayton]

Really hope we keep this kid. Best db commit we have.

Besides Jordan Mathews. Ricky Gibson fills a bigger need also, which is a pure corner.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Auburn's new staff will make him a big priority to the point that their collective dedicates more NIL money towards him than anyone else would be willing to just to make noise on the recruiting trail. Absolutely no other reason for him to flip to Auburn other than their collective throwing the bank at him. Hopefully he sees the better long-term fit in sticking with UT.

I'd go
1) Gibson
2) Slaughter
3a) Matthews
3b) Smith
5) Conyer
6) Luttrell

 

[thunder5]

I'd go
1) Gibson
2) Slaughter
3a) Matthews
3b) Smith
5) Conyer
6) Luttrell

I'd probably move Matthews to the top and slide Gibson and Slaughter don one spot...but that's JMO

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I guess I can’t fault the kid too much if he wants to go play for Auburn. People were asking the same questions about why recruits would come to UT when we sucked

Agree.........
Some kids just want the chance to play early and often. Some just want to be different.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Ppl already acting like he’s gone is pretty funny

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Still would be a stupid decision to flip.

I don’t care what’s offered.

Auburn is a train wreck with horrible leadership

 

[INDEFENSE]

If he flips, so be it, but how many have we had decommit from this staff since last year that we didn't encourage? I really like the way this staff builds relationships and I don't just mean with recruits, I also mean with the guys on the team now. Maybe I'm wrong but I believe when recruits ask questions of the players about the coaching staff they get the type of answers they don't get from many other teams.This is the reason I believe they will lose very few commits, love the way they operate.

 

[allvolrecruiting]

AP was just saying that whoever the new staff is going to be at Auburn will probably try to flip him and other top prospects in Alabama to try to get a splashy signee to ride

 

[walkenvol]

I'd go
1) Gibson
2) Slaughter
3a) Matthews
3b) Smith
5) Conyer
6) Luttrell

You must hate Luttrell in light of what you’ve posted concerning Conuer

 

[TrippieRedd]

Ribson
Matthews
Luttrell, Smith, Slaughter all equal imo
Conyer at the bottom

Scott or Conyer, don't matter
