I know that this has been asked a gazillion times but I can't remember the answer. I know that the limit we supposedly can sign is 25 but I see people mention signing 28 or even 30. How many can we back count to last signing class? Finally, are there any current commits that we tell to look elsewhere if a more promising prospect comes along? (LV I'm looking in your direction)

We can sign 26 that can get in the fall. We can sign and place or greyshirt 3 additional players. So the max we can take is 29 but only 26 would be able to contribute immediately.

Curious about greyshirting: What does it mean exactly (for the recruit) in terms of school being paid for that year, practicing with team, 4-5 yrs eligibility, the next years numbers for recruits, etc...????

We need about 30 recruits, just to fix our depth problem.

Kinda sucks, but our depth is so bad that by NCAA rule it will take 2 years for us to get back to full strength. We'll be in much better shape next year, though!

If Couch and Lanier were to commit like it is rumored that both are close to doing then we would have 1248 points which would put us easily in the top 15

Edit: It would put us at 15th

Well on our way to a top 15 class :)

Just think where we could be once we add Clear, Richardson, & Wright :)

So for those people thinking we wont have a Top 15 class, are you still sticking to that? :)

Yes. Still say we don't finish in the top 4 in the SEC in 4/5* recruits nor above more than 14 programs nationally in 4/5* recruits. With current recruiting estimates by other schools, here would be the finish even if we double the current number of 4/5* recruits in our list to 8.

Programs Likely to Finish with More 4/5* Recruits
SEC
Alabama (14 now; likely finish with 17)
Florida (10 now; likely to finish with 14)
LSU (8 now; likely to finish with 12)
UGA (8 now; likely to finish with 12)

Nationally
Texas (17 now; likely to finish with 18)
OU (10 now; likely to finish with 14)
FSU (7 now; likely to finish with 11)
Ohio State (7 now; likely to finish with 11)
Stanford (8 now; likely to finish with 10)
Nebraska (11 now; likely to finish with 13)
Notre Dame (7 now; likely to finish with 10)

Programs Likely to Catch Up
USC (7 now; likely to finish with 9)
Cal (4 now; likely to finish with 8-9)
Oregon (4 now; likely to finish with 8-9)
Miami (4 now; likely to finish with 8-9)
Auburn (4 now; likely to finish with 9)
Pitt (6 now; likely to finish 9)
UNC (6 now; likely to finish with 9)
Clemson (7 now; likely to finish with 9)

So, that put's us 12th, before these other programs we're currently close to finish as well. I think 3-4 of the above will finish ahead of us and we'll end up with a class somewhere in the lower teens nationally and in the middle-third of the SEC. I hope Dooley does a lot better than that with a great finish, but he will need such a great finish to do so.

Does this assume no other teams will add anyone?

No...it means if Couch and Lanier were to commit to us this very instance then it would increase our score to 1248 whcih would put us at 15th as the rankings stand right now

I expect TN to finish with about 12 4 star commits counting Loften..so that should put us in the top 15 nationally in 4 stars, and the rankings take into account your whole class not just 4 and 5 stars...DUH!:no:

We have 4 four stars...we are the heavy favorite for Richardson, Clear, Couch, and Lanier....we have a great shot at Wright, M. Johnson, Pagan, and Rome...Randolph and Smith are well within striking distance of the 4 star bump...there are several other 4*'s we are still in it for...

I've averaged the last 5 recruiting classes on Rivals and based on that we would only need about 1600 points total to be safely within the top 15

But let's say that we do come in at 16-17th overall and 7-8th in the conference...in that case 4-5 of the SEC teams ahead of us would likely be in the 8-15 range...would you honestly think they all distanced themselves from us with this recruiting class? Even after the inconsistencies that Rivals has shown in their evals this year?

I think to get into 9-10 win territory, we need recruiting classes in the top 3 in the SEC; I think to get into 11-12 win SEC title type team territory, we need to be #1 or #2 in the SEC. I think we're on pace for 6-8 type win seasons if recruiting were to finish in the mid-to-lower half of the SEC in recruiting. I am hoping we do better, of course.

Recruiting rankings don't win games. Hard work and good coaching do. Its nice to have a good recruiting class, but doesn't mean anything without the W's.
