'22 GA OT Maurice Clipper Jr (Tennessee signee)

What Vols fans have been saying about their 3 stars for years.

Recent 2/3* guys that made it into the NFL and are doing well:

Emmanuel Moseley - 2* - Still in NFL
Cam Sutton - 3* - Still in NFL
Zach Fulton - 3* - Still in NFL
Justin Coleman - 3* - Still in NFL

Current players that are contributing:
Jeremy Banks - 3*
Cedric Tillman - 2/3*
Theo Jackson - 3*
Trevon Flowers - 3*
Aaron Beasley - 3*
Byron Young - 3*
Velus Jones - 3*
Javonta Payton - 3*
Jabari Small - 3*

3* guys are at the top for sacks (#1,2,3,5), Tackles (#1,2,4,5), Rec Yards (#1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

So while there are 10 3* guys that wash out for every 1 that doesn't... that isn't to say you can't glean an idea on how well scouted by actual pros (not just a scouting service) by who offered him. OL and DBs are especially hard to scout given a lot of times grades are given based on production and you won't really see much production from OL or good DBs.

It’s also notable that we were a 7-5 team due to a lack of talent and meaningful depth. You can’t thrive on 3 stars. You have to load your roster with high quality, coveted players. You can develop some diamonds in the rough but if you try to live off diamonds, you’re going to get crap.
