'22 FL WR CJ Smith (Georgia commit)

[Jimmy Football]

Sounds like our staff didn't think his visit went well and weren't expecting much. Like to the point of not really pursuing down the stretch. Now that he's back on the market maybe the staff will pursue after all.

Didn't sound like we were an active part in the decommitment and that the staff would be surprised.

Maybe they misinterpreted how the visit went?

We got room for this guy and Webb? Coaches thinking Squirrel gone? That’s a bunch of receivers in one class if we take all of them.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

What he say?

Probably that you don’t take true freshman 5 wide receivers in one class.

Why do I feel like a little kid looking at presents under the tree right now?

 

[lilesrt]

I wouldn’t get our hopes up. Ultimately, we won’t know until he signs. Tennessee might have a chance if he says yes. But then again, the pen may malfunction on signing day allowing just enough time for him to change his mind. This one is up for grabs folks.

-Hubbs- (Probably)

Wondering the same thing. Looks like this is a offensive heavy class and we are pretty thin on defense already. It may be that they are looking to address defense through the portal I guess we will have to wait and see.

It's gonna be exciting no matter what.

I'm sorry but I'm reading tea leaves... he comes on a visit here, 72 hrs later his mom tweeted out enjoying knoxville, he decommits from Florida... imo Georgia either said come here but no to track or tennessee showed him his blue print to being a 1st rnd pick. Nothing in his interview sounded really negative.

We only have 2 true freshman WR's. Merrill & Marley. Kaeman Marley was injured all this season. Our WR room isn't as deep as you think, and none of them were Heupel recruits.

A cracked door eventually swings open.

I agree. All signs are I don’t understand the pessimism

 

[ACvol3]

If he ran a 10.28 dude could be a future Olympian-almost hard to believe

Montario hardesty ran that in high school. Edit- I’m trying to find where I saw that, but I’m only seeing 10.36 now. Still pretty dang fast

 

[ACvol3]

So what did Callahan say?!?!?

 

[Mr French]

I agree. All signs are I don’t understand the pessimism

I honestly don't think this staff bleeds as much info out as previous staffs did so the sites have speculation to go off of. In state kids I believe AP is connected but this kids from Florida and it's a little too far for his reach.

 

[bigl3327]

Dat boy fast....Dat boy real fast!!!!

Damn BVS flaring up again in here. I have medicine for that. He's a Vol!

 

[T2P_Priceless]

So what did Callahan say?!?!?

Callahan: CJ, are you committing to UT?
CJ: I don’t know, maybe…hehehe

Callahan: don’t have a good feeling about this one

 

[docholiday]

So what did Callahan say?!?!?

Callahan has zero clue.

[ACvol3]

Callahan has zero clue.

So nobody knows what he actually said?

That doesn’t matter. Transfer portal let’s you supplement the receiver room every year. And I’d venture to bet we’re gonna have a lot of talented transfer guys wanting to come here each year.

We have too many holes to spend building outside in.

It’s not smart resource utilization. Akin to Detroit drafting wide receivers in the top 10 three years straight.

Look at our roster and we have holes at QB, RB, OL, DL, LB, and S.

There would probably be no easy way to check this but I bet no one would be able to find a team that took 5 receivers in a single signing class.

 

[buckfama]

Add this kid and Webb and we might be looking at the best wr class in UT history.

 

[Jimmy Football]

I respect Callahan’s opinion, but what else are you supposed to think when a kid decommits from another school after your visit weekend? That must be a pretty good sign.

You don't turn away this talent. Don't be surprised by the Jimmy's leaving. You'll need 5 then.
