Halfway to Signing Day....

[g8terh8ter_eric]

What's your take on how we have done so far??

 

[VOLNBAMA]

pretty good so far. The staff has filled some needs on the DL and OL.

 

[JZVOL]

We have several big hogs on both sides of the ball so I really like that.

 

[Lord Vader]

For right now, a B+. It would be an A+ if we had a QB. But it is halfway to signing day and we are right at halfway to filling our class with our 13 commits. We have addressed some huge needs like Kicker, LB, DL, and OL. I love this staff, they are doing an awesome job...

 

[vol66]

We seem to be doing better than expected given we haven't shown anything on the field. Anybody have an idea who we might be going after in the Augusta, Ga. area?

 

[rallen]

Wonder who will be the next 12 guys? Probably our staff will be selective. That's not many out of all the offers we have out!

Ambles?

I think we can sign 28 players in this class so could get 15 more. I'll say:

4 more OL
3 DBs
1 more DL
1 QB
3 more WRs
1 RB
1 more LB
and either another DL or a LB

 

[vol66]

Naw, Ambles is closer to Atlanta.

 

[rallen]

Good breakdown, I'll go with that!

no te?

 

[Lord Vader]

no te?

Dang, you're right. Take away that extra DL or LB at the end. Shew, we have so many areas of need...

 

[3L with debt]

Really, I expected more from this staff. But there is plenty of time left.

 

[bburger991]

I'd go

4 OL (Probably 2 JuCos)
1 DL
2 DB
2 QB (1 JuCo, 1 HS)
2 WR
1 RB
2 LBs
1 TE

for my list

 

[SGMVols]

I think we're doing OK considering this staff hasn't yet coached its first game.

 

[orutvol]

I'd go

4 OL (Probably 2 JuCos)
1 DL
2 DB
2 QB (1 JuCo, 1 HS)
2 WR
1 RB
2 LBs
1 TE

for my list

Do you think that we need one more JuCo for QB? I know most people want Cam, but outside of him, I would rather pick up two HS QBs.

 

[bburger991]

Thats not what I want, its what Tyler Baty says the coaches told him.

 

[vol4life14]

great job we filled glaring holes on the dl and o line and stars rankings mean nothing with o line and most d linemen and we got some juco guys that arent rated yet.... plus we are in it with a lot of high profile players that prolly want to see us produce before they give us serious contention... a+ so far

 

[orutvol]

Thats not what I want, its what Tyler Baty says the coaches told him.

Tyler Bray or Turner Baty?

 

[bburger991]

Oh, meant Turner. My bad.

 

[bburger991]

“I talk to Coach Eddie Gran at least once a week,” Baty said. “I spoke to him last week; he told me that they were going to take a Junior College guy and at least one high school quarterback.”

.

 

[orutvol]

Oh, meant Turner. My bad.

nm. Just saw where he said that.

 

[Lord Vader]

I see it like this...

OL- James Stone
OL- JUCO- Cullen, Curry, Underwood, Wiley, Gayden, or Gauld
OL- JUCO
OL- HS guy, I'm sure you know the names. I wouldn't completely count out Hurst or Benedict yet

DB- Dietrich Riley
DB- Dale Trimble
DB- Demar Dorsey

LB- maybe Shirley

WR- Matt Milton
WR- either Cobbs, Prater, McCay, Meline, Green, Reese, Woods, Stills, or Sims
WR- James Green (we will pick him back up after a JUCO year, it don't look like he's gonna qualify for 2009)

TE- Trey Millard
RB- Keon Williams or the JUCO Barksdale
DL- either Jones, Whittaker, Uko, Ego, Lemonier, Miller (it's not over), Willis, Powell (longshot)
QB- you know the names, prolly Bray or Brunetti

I think we're doing OK considering this staff hasn't yet coached its first game.

That’s what has me worried more than anything. I believe in this staff and think they will do great things, I just don’t know about this year. If we get a min of 8 wins (which I think will happen ) and beat a good team (Ole Miss, UF, BAMA) then we will keep and get more great recruits but if we lose I’m not sure we can keep some or get more.

either way we are only half way!!:banghead2::mf_surrender:

GO VOLS!!!:rock:

The way JB told it (or at least the way I understood it) is that Gran was talking about Lamaison when he said the JUCO QB...
