'20 DC FS Mordecai McDaniel (FL commit)

[RoamingVol423]

Buh bye. This kid would've never panned out here, shows you have no loyalty if you're willing to flip to the rival of the school you're committed to for no apparent reason.

 

[butchna]

Um, no

Mordecai McDaniel, St. John's College HS, Cornerback

Missed the bump I guess. Thought you didn’t follow recruiting?

I dont follow as closely as some. I really like the Slaughter guy though. Hopefully he signs with us.

 

[butchna]

Bottom line is you can only bring in 25 in a calendar class. Last year we signed 22 plus in the fall we gave 3 schollys too PWOs. Hill counts against us too if we give him a scholarship. In the recruiting board I haven't seen anyone assert that we can bring in more than 25.

WHEN Hill gets a scholarship, he won’t count against a 25...hence the walkon part.

I didn't realize he was paying his own way. Cool

 

[37620VOL]

He was a 3 star.

Correct. On 8/21 when he committed to us he was a 3 star. Not sure when 247 bumped him to 4.

Prolly soon as he was listed as a possible flip.

Are you trying to be the dumbest poster on VN, or does it just come naturally ?

Are you dumb enough to see that this recruiting class has been very underwhelming so far and a big disappointment. This coaching staff was supposed to be pretty good recruiters so far that is not the case at all.

Green was encouraged to look around. McDaniel they wanted to keep. He was highly regarded by the staff. Slaughter was a replacement for Green not McDaniel. This kid is a damn DA for going to Florida with the amount of DBs they have in this class; like a third of their class are DBs.

He probably has a better chance of beating out guys who are in the same class as him at Fla then to come sit for us behind 5 upper classmen who have multiple years of eligibility left.

 

[RAVOL]

Well he is one our staff wanted so he wasn't recruited over even though the Slaughter kid tape is outstanding he is a baller. We our at this moment trying to flip players to us as well. It happens. As far as where we finish I will wait to see all the All Star events and even then I do trust this staff evaluation eyes of whom they want.

 

[CrybabyVol]

A lot of this is why I don’t stress about recruiting anymore.

we’re going to get ours. You’re going to get yours. No one has a monopoly on talent.

Are there Eric Berry’s out there that no coach could screw up. Yeah, sure.

But, I think LSU and FSU proved this year what a coach can do in their own way. Hell, Miami found a way to lose to FIU.

at the end of the day, we’re in the SEC. no one is going to “out talent” their way to championships

Do you just post on here to placate? Don’t need it. Every post you make seems to be some sort of sympathetic pitch. Move on

Can't take into account what's not tangibly visible. Those other teams I listed could have pleasant surprises too. This is Pruitt's third recruiting class. His best is 12. That's not going to cut it to win championships. If he got to 12 this year, I'd be completely geeked, because the schedule is so weak next year. I think he can win eight games with ease. But then that 2018 recruiting class becomes the core of our roster. This is probably our most recruiting class in ten years, and so far it's underwhelming. Obviously hope it changes directions.

With a name like CryBaby I award you no points for your analysis that the class isn't up to your standard.

 

[JMSqb11]

Is CJP and staff ever going to be able to hang on to recruits? I mean come on this is just getting ridiculous. We have the most over paid staff in the nation.

What is getting ridiculous? You don’t follow Tennessee football much do you?

 

[chef3531]

I go by Pruitts philosophy, worry about the ones you get not the ones you don’t.

I thought that's Rick Neuheisel's philosophy that he's always talking about on Full Ride.

You like it?

Slaughter just committed so there’s that, as I have said many times some of you just cannot handle the stress of recruiting

 

[GrizzlyVol]

Yes he is and he succeeds every post

And now you know the rest of the story.

You people need to chill out. If they're decommitting, they're being told too.

Wow, you are good you can tell how good a class is going to be before they even get on campus. Either that or you are a star gazer who knows nothing about what is going to happen. I would try to explain to you that sometimes teams recruit to need not just see how many stars they can get in a class. You must be from the butch school of recruiting.

 

[Volank]

THREE things that are certain: death, taxes, and recruits decommitting, committing, re-committing, musical chair recruiting-it happens every year. What really matters is what we end up with, we must be on par with GA, LSU, FL and BAMA, or we will continue to fall behind.

It doesn't work that way. Those schools, maybe not FL, are already recruiting at the top. Thus they can't get better, only worse. Our recruiting has improved significantly and specifically the guys we are getting are true sec guys, not paper tigers. We're closing the gap and with continued on field success we will continue to recruit even better.

Well I guess this is what Tennessee has accepted at this point just a middle of the pack SEC team certainly recruiting like it neck and neck with South Carolina and Miss. St.

So losing MM and gaining Slaughter is close to a wash in respect to ratings. One was rated 4 stars on Rivals and the other 4 stars on 247. Aight , no cause for concern losing MM. Now are there any tall Deon Grant type safeties available? I sure would like to see a 6’3 free safety who can run all over the field.
