probably the 4 star TE from Chattanooga or the 4 star Spillman from Nashville

 

[Wokepack]

Haters are steaming over this commitment. Let the good times roll!

 

[SmokinBob]

Woot! Woot!

Tennessee picked up their sixth commitment for 2024 with quarterback Jake Merklinger pulling the trigger to the Vols on Thursday. Having Nico Iamaleava already on campus could have made it difficult but Merklinger is a competitor and chose a tougher path to the field with the school he feels most comfortable at over a greater chance at immediate playing time somewhere else.

Wonder if Merklinger had a commitable Georgia offer?

Still same, good get. Ready to see the RB piece fall into place.

Wonder if Meringer had a commitable Georgia offer.

Who is going to care when he becomes a first round draft choice?

There is a certain notoriety when you're landing an instate QB that Georgia coveted. Would be used as marketing out on the trail and with peer rakrooting....moran.

A late BOOM is better than no boom at all!

He's a top 100 player/top 10 QB nationally. Doesn't that kinda just sell itself?

Don't see the need to validate this commitment against what another program did or didn't intend with their offer...

What does asking that question even attempt to accomplish, if not to devalue the player in the eyes of some?

He had a committable offer from Heupel. You really shouldn’t need any other validation.

Athletic and loves to compete you can't teach that wideouts are coming next and offensive tackles

Sorry for double post

Sure it does. It makes me feel a sense of warmth in my twisted heart knowing that many adult frat boys and girls are downtrodden because their bowl cut couldnt grab the top QB in state. Yes, I realize that says a lot about me. And yes, i'm good with it.

Great pull out of Georgia. Hope he blows in up this season

Ok…devil’s advocate. What exactly needs to “get better” for us to compete with Bama and UGA if their higher rated recruiting classes weren’t being referenced?

Not up to speed here, but were any of the left-overs from former recruiting classes (that beat/competed with bama) worse than the class in question?
