'21 AL WR Roc Taylor (Memphis signee)

[Devo182]

Chad Simmons post on VQ...

Curious how he should "improve his overall speed"?

Simmons in 10 months going to be like - perfect route runner, ultimate warrior...too slow..3*.

I am new when it comes to keeping up with recruiting so please bear with me. Is it normal for us to start off with lower ranked commits early in the cycle and then pick up bigger names as the season progresses? I may seem pessimistic but we are tied with Maryland with the lowest star avg per player in the top 25 on 247 (lower than Rutgers and Minnesota). Hopefully I'll eat my own words and just trust the coaching staffs evaluations since most of their recruits get major recruiting bumps.

Some years, yes. But not typically to this degree.

What do you expect the coaches to do? They can’t actively recruit right now because of the virus.

You can say that with every school though. Its discouraging to see schools like UNC and Maryland doing well for what they are...but that may just be because they have instate talent and this virus is pushing kids to stay home. I will say that I feel good about us making a lot of top 5 lists for most blue chips and I do believe what other posters are saying in that Pruitt is a heck of a closer.

 

[Devo182]

Yeah happened last year and we got a top ten class. Pruitt is known as a closer

Aaand this is why I don't worry too much. I'd guess at least half of our top recruits the last 2 years have come in Dec-Feb, many seemingly out of nowhere.

Pretty athletic.

Could be a potential TE at the college level if he puts on 15 pounds or more.

 

[jwilliams]

Come on guys!

 

[Orangeburst]

Hope he likes getting painted.

 

[rcrrcr]

Another 3 star ..we should make the top 10 in the SEC then ..... maybe #9 .....

It does not matter what he is rated at the end of his Jr. year, lets see what he is rated after his senior year. His stats and video are very impressive!

 

[CreiveHallVol]

Boom!

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Boom

D.K. Metcalf 2.0

D.K. Metcalf 2.0

If only he can get ripped like that then we’ll have an Alabama coup on our hands with this one. I like this kid’s tenacity and his body control.

Pruitt recruiting athletes. I am for it!

Yes he's a 3 star, but he has a good offer list. This one has some potential

 

[onevol74]

Didn’t we have a player from Mobile around 1990 named Roc Powe, or something like that?

 

[chaseasl]

This kid will end up ranked around the same as Jimmy Calloway IMO.

 

[lilesrt]

Sounds like a similar player to Dee Beckwith. Chaney must be selling a vision for a specific role. I'm expecting some wrinkles we haven't seen before.

Liking our roster, guys. Jeremy Pruitt and staff are bosses. #NextStep

40 time would be kinda gross for a WR. But if you're going to be slow, you better make contested catches. This dude's reel is full of them.

Had this feller a while back. JJ or sumpin' like that. Made some nice plays.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

GBO!!!! BOOM! Welcome Roc Taylor to Rocky Top!

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Really out of the blue.

 

[GameTime]

Looks like a fine, fine receiver...He gets the 50/50 balls.
