The Vols were set to land Damarius McGhee in early August but that changed on Thursday when the Florida product called Derrick Ansley and surprised him with his commitment. This staff is very high on McGhee. As one person told us this week, landing McGhee would “give Tennessee the best corner they have landed since Jeremy Pruitt has been at Tennessee”.

I haven't had enough coffee yet to be creative, but somewhere, there is an awesome McGhee Tyson "no fly zone" nickname. Hopefully it'll come to me later.

I think people on here exaggerate tape sometimes, but this kid...all you have to do is watch the tape.

Love to see that. Rucker and McGhee... solid duo. Bet dollars to donuts both are better than bipolar Kamar.

AT and BT be like "we pretty good for a couple WR's".....

Seems fair to just throw a label on a young kid like 'bipolar' without any knowledge. He may just me an immature kid.

Gets under my skin.

So I gotta think that either Rivals just hasn't updated their rankings or they're straight stupid because this kid is a stud. Does anyone know when they update rankings?

They admitted to being straight stupid.

We need top 250 guys if we're gonna win the big one. Just sayin'.

So should we trust you or Pruitt?

I’ll go with the guy who’s had success developing CBs.

LSU’s best receiver was a top 2400 guy. Need those as well.

Second best WR.

Wow...strong words. Bryce Thompson is pretty good.

I think it was a reason why McGhee was so high up on the staff’s board, regardless of Rivals or anyone else’s rankings

 

[mr.checkerboards]

BT and AT development has to give us a chance with guys. They were lower rated guys who have a chance at being drafted. If the coaching staff can do that with lower rated guys imagine what will happen with the studs, or just look at HT for an example

I was pretty fired up about the prospects of a Wilcoxson - Arnold duo at the corner spots and was disappointed when Wilcoxson flipped, but a McGhee - Green combo would be even better.

So 247 has him as a 4 star and ranked as the 89th best player in the country. Rivals has him as a 2 star...

When I just went to his Rivals page, it was blank, no info or ratings.

They were both 4* players though. Taylor was the 122nd ranked player in the country. Thompson was the 301st ranked player in the country, and probably ranked too low relative to his talent because it was thought he'd have a very small chance at actually qualifying, academically.

Now, the better argument exists if you take the angle that both players were athletes primarily recruited to play WR, and this staff took both, and made highly effective CBs out of them, both of whom have started since their FR years.

Wow we are accepting commits from 2 stars. Udder failure by this staff on the trail.

Going to be honest. I trust Pruitt's eval of a CB over Rob Cassidy and probably anyone else not named Saban. Even more so since Cassidy's rating will be long forgotten regardless of how this kid turns out. His job isn't in danger. Pruitt will be unemployed soon if he signs the wrong players.
