How many can Tennessee sign in the 2020 class?

[NighthawkVol]

With Anthony Harris not getting in, Tennessee had 22 in its 2019 class, plus the 2 transfers make 24. So do we have a back count?

Just wondering if anyone knows the actual number we can sign. I have to think it’s at least 26 this year (not counting blueshirts or greyshirts).

Oh no. Do you know what you've done?

You made this post with good intentions, I know. But get ready for a numbers debate that will incinerate this forum and burn it to the ground.

All of them.

It was the best news from pros
Pruitt's press conference over the weekend...25.

Pruitt did an interview with chris low and someone else. Pruitt said that this year is the first time we are able to sign a full class.

Actually it’s 35 this class. We pull in one from each future class for the next 10 years. It’s known as “Iridescent shirting”.

Tennessee currently plans to sign a full class in 2020 of 25 but that number is fluid.

Unlimited recruits. Sign 'em all.
The NCAA will keep the Vols out of bowls but according to many, that means no penalty at all.

I'm really surprise @BruinVol hasn't weighed in yet--yearly signee numbers are like his catnip.

Honestly, I would be ok with ending the season undefeated and ranked #1, but not playing in the post season. And if we have a roster full of NFL ready players, then it’s better for them too if they can avoid the risk of injury in those additional games that do nothing but pad the NCAAs pocket (while those player don’t receive additional compensation for their achievement).

I say we pay our players and sign as many as we can afford.

25.... 3 tons of em

25. I believe we'll only need 1 blupeshit to do this. Last year we needed 2. Harris not making it just means we require 1 less.

he's pretty good at it too, but he's been working the baseball side of the house...you'll just have to wait...

GO BIG ORANGE!

 

[Allstate]

Being a newly, 25 should be the correct answer. Shouldn't we ask Bama, and Michigan first!

I haven't had a blupeshit in a while. You always remember those.

When I have a blupeshit the wife has to bring me an extra roll of toilet paper.

Can sign 26 this year. 27 if Melvin McBride no longer counts

NCAA doesn’t receive Bowl money, it goes back to schools, same for football TV money. NCAA does get compensated for NCAA basketball tournament (also why you see them being very careful about punishing anyone in the Adidas scandal). Athletes, on avg in the SEC, are compensated to the equivalent of over 55k a year including free access to tutors, meals, exercise equipment, professional instructors, nutritionists, tuition, room/board, the list goes on. Not to mention the lifetime networking they will get after college. That number does NOT include the stipend they do receive for ‘additional compensation’, as you put it. Some make more per month than people on Social Security.

As for the actual question, now 4 transfers are listed, but did any of the ‘19 class count towards the ‘18 class?
