'19 CA ATH/WR Horace "Bru" McCoy (Tennessee commit)

[thunder5]

No offense but he is a transfer. He doesn't need a moment. He needs to get to work like a man.

One thing about this kid is clear to me....he is definitely the type that would make an announcement about this sort of thing

i really dont think its that. I think hes just waiting until his school year is completed or at least waiting until it gets really close.

how so? He hasn't said a word.

It is the NIL era, the days of "shut up and commit, and show up quietly" are long gone. Tennessee is part of the wave that is changing that, by the way. Players are only as valuable as their brand, they want to make it a big deal because it is a big deal. It builds buzz, it creates anticipation and excitement. Fans want to meet them, businesses want to partner with them, kids want their jersey or their autograph, casuals that don't even follow recruiting like that want a picture with them.

We built a program/partnership to attract top talent, we promise them that we will treat them like stars and get them paid. That's part of our package to get the best to Knoxville. So now he wants to build his brand, create some buzz, be what we told him that he could be if he comes here. I don't see the problem.

Exactly, when he visited he didn’t even want to do a photo shoot

Announcement date has been set for next week. AP doesn’t want to ruin the kid’s moment.

Okay, you obviously know things....how well connected are you?

I’m so well connected that if Jesus was making a return visit, I’d be able to tell you his announcement date…..jk

I trust you but I don’t care if you are fake or real…. It’s about time we got some insiders back in the recruiting forum.

How much does he boost our class ranking?

Since he's a transfer, I just had to plug in a similarly rated HS recruit (90 rating) in the class calculator and add it to the Overall rankings.

He would boost us up from 26th in the Composite Overall rankings to 23rd.

More proof a handful of late transfers could push us back into the top 20 where we belong. Maybe even 15 if we knock a few out of the park...but we certainly have the room to keep moving up.

Right now we’re 8th. McCoy would affect our transfer portal ranking, and we’re outside the top 50 for that this season

He's talking about for this year. Although I'm not sure where he's getting those composite rankings from. Last I checked we were 19 in the talent composite rankings.

Man I've been saying this same thing for like 5 years. A lot of good posters and or insiders moved on. The RF used to be the shizz. I think the old posters in here just ate it alive, they thwarted any new opinions and or users from posting in here. I've moved along from the topic mostly but it happened.

I think at least one insider is still sharing info with a certain poster or 2. They just don't show up in here themselves anymore.

There were some I trusted and some I didn’t but it definitely made the forum more interesting.

Right. For the 2022 class Overall rankings.

But not the team talent composite, that encapsulates all players. Just talking the 2022 class.

That is 2023. Bru would be a 2022 kid.

Oh I haven't looked at the overall rankings before!

Lots of gaining to do there.

Landing guys like Bru for this year are as important if not more important than landing these blue chippers for 23.

Really need to do all we can to ensure we end up with a record 8-4 or better
