'20 FL WR Malachi Wideman (Tennessee signee)

[JacketVol]

Could be a visit high. Wait and see. Will not like it if he goes to OM. Hope they can pull him back in.

 

[SSVol]

So I wonder if a really good closer and an overperforming recruiter could convince BGS to change his beer preferences?

On VQ AP said Tennessee is in as good of a position as they could be with him.

Pruitt can’t close and tee is underwhelming. We’ve lost a lot more big battles than we have won. Losing to a ****** ole miss is pretty bad though.

I will agree on Tee so far, but not on Pruitt.

 

[orangemadam]

Bad news if Kiffin gets Evans and Wideman.

On VQ AP said Tennessee is in as good of a position as they could be with him.

Well, AP was saying Beckwith to TN when even Beckwith was saying UF leads, so he seems to be clued in at the moment.

 

[InVOLuntary]

If Wideman chooses OM I suspect he'll personally have a decent career, kiffin will get him the ball, but he'll never win anything of significance. May not with the Vols either but much greater chance here than with OM in the West.

I will agree on Tee so far, but not on Pruitt.

Hyatt and Callaway are pretty dang good to me. Our early struggles hurt this recruiting cycle. It wouldn’t surprise me if Tee has to fight negative recruiting from opponents saying how long will he be there because he wants play calling opportunity at some point

 

[Bring_Back_Dooley]

Man the meltdown is coming. I will try to cover all the bases.

Pruitt can’t close.
No elite recruiters on staff.
Tee is underperforming.
Lane will take over the SEC.

Rocker can't recruit WRs
Pruitt grabs players' facemasks--probably tried to grab Wideman's
Rick Barnes almost took a job at UCLA and Wideman is still pissed

Check that, a guy claiming to be an insider said Florida leads.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Kiffin to Evans and Wideman, "Come here, start day 1, no competition, position is all yours, and go to the NFL in 3 years"

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

Don't be shy... Which two? iyho...

No elite recruiters and Tee is under performing.

 

[TrippieRedd]

No elite recruiters

That's a Nieds to the nuts

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

That's a Nieds to the nuts

I like Neids. Think he's a really good recruiter. But people throw elite around on this board way too loosely.

I think he is elite. We'll see I guess.

 

[TNfaninMS]

Did I do it right?

This years “recruiter rank” supports this comment

I was talking about recruiting only. I think Tee made a big difference in the on field product..

 

[KeepinUpWithJones]

wasn't he the National Recruiter of the Year last year?

 

[VolInDayton]

Ole Miss is 2 years behind where our program is in a harder divison. I wouldn't have that much confidence in Kiffin.

 

[WarMachine]

wasn't he the National Recruiter of the Year last year?

Yes.

 

[m1al]

No elite recruiters and Tee is under performing.

"No elite recruiters"
"Tee under performing (in recruiting)" So far I'll give you that one...

 

[Bring_Back_Dooley]

"Wideman is a Rivals100 wide receiver from Florida that has been committed to Florida State since May, but Ole Miss has been the school trending. He visited Oxford over the weekend, Lane Kiffin made him a priority and it looks like Wideman is likely to flip to the Rebels. You cannot completely rule Tennessee out either, but Ole Miss is the program with the momentum late."

VN right now:

 

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

Tee underperforming?

landing Wideman will give us a higher ranked overall WR class than everyone except Georgia and Ohio State. That includes Alabama and Clemson..

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

wasn't he the National Recruiter of the Year last year?

Consistency is key. He's a young, promising coach. Not denying that. But it's evident he hasn't had a great cycle to this point. Wasn't necessarily a knock on him. He's definitely the best recruiter on staff.
