'20 GA S Doneiko Slaughter (UT SIGNEE)

[titansvolsfaninga]

Rivals has him ranked ahead of MM.

Well one is a track guy that plays football, and one is a football player.

 

[jakez4ut]

Be nice if he'd drop that commitment.. Any time you're ready.. Lol

 

[Dudleys87]

There’s something to be said about a football player with the name slaughter

 

[vols 30]

I love that group!

Reported!!!

 

[peaygolf]

I love that group!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
God, No

 

[Evergrenevol]

I really hope most of these are backup plans.

I really hope that someday you‘ll understand that this young man is an incredible player.

”Slaughter“ is a very appropriate name...

 

[engineerVOL]

Warrior and Slaughter would have been a cool to see on the field at the same time. I’ll allow it.

 

[Evergrenevol]

Pruitt likes bigger Db’s in general....

Not true. Pruitt is happily married to a beautiful young lady and has 3 children...

 

[Nashvegas31]

Can tell immediately in highlights Pruitt going to have fun blitzing with this kid

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Not true. Pruitt is happily married to a beautiful young lady and has 3 children...

Lame and not funny.

Well one is a track guy that plays football, and one is a football player.

Both bring different qualities. Slaughter is a great player we want, but he's not a replacement for MM. Slaughter brings physicality and a nose for the fb. MM was about speed and potential. Would have been nice to have both.

Too bad Nigel graduates. But still, we're going from a Warrior to a Slaughter. That works too.

They're both good.
It gets old people minimizing another player because they decommit. He's still just as good as before

If we get Slaughter then that's a pretty decent refund. Imagine not getting anything or a guy that is just a scholarship taker and thats it.
Slaughter is a player!

I very much hope we continue the cycle of larceny.

JMO, but I don't think Pruitt is the type to waste scholarships like Butch did. Better to put it in your back pocket and save it than to waste it on someone who doesn't help you.

 

[rgvol]

I was wrong about MM so gonna say Slaughter got his spot if indeed he does commit.

 

[thunder5]

Thankfully we're getting this guy. He isn't as fast as Mordecai, but he's a great player nonetheless. Hopefully he's better. He'll be coached better thats for sure.

I swear this isn’t sour grapes...when I watch their tapes a see a superior athlete in McDaniel but a far superior football player in Slaughter

 

[thunder5]

Says on 247 that they gave him this initial rating in June but have not evaluated him since. Doneiko Slaughter at Roswell Recruit Rank History

Rivals has him as a 4 star. Maybe when he commits to the Vols this week 247 will actually evaluate his senior film.

Kid is not an 84...nothing about his film says that...I expect no less than an 88 when they re-evaluate...maybe higher...that’ll bump him somewhere into the .88-.89 range on the composite

He is a better football player. MM has such great potential, but it will take a bit to develop it. Being fast doesn't mean crap if you are a half second late knowing where to go.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It’s not

How do you figure that?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Kid has way better instincts than Mordecai. Instincts as a safety (make you play faster - even if you don’t have the same speed). Kid is going to be very good. Could easily push for a starting position next year.

Strong safety's don't have to have great speed, they have to know where to be, and they are more important than the FS imo.

Somebody else said that DS was better than MM in run support, but did not have his speed and "versatility"...that statement is goofy when you think about it, it is a huge contradiction.

This I agree with, MM has great potential as a FS..but alas the kid decided to be an enemy..he is a Gator now..so I hate him.

Well...except there is a Tank in his way...

It is just the truth, but it doesn't take the sting away from losing a great potential like MM either. Wish we could have both.
