A guy on another board posted his predictions and why. I thought it would be fun for us to do the same.
1 - N. Oliver, DB, 3 stars - I think ND tried to publicize the fact that they pulled his scholly after he told them he was headed to the Hill. I think its a case of CCW trying to save face.
2 - Greg King, LB, 3 stars - I think he committed right after his visit and asked that it be kept on the dl.
3 - Marsalis Teague, ath, 3 stars - I said all along that this one wasnt over. Too many rumors too think that he doesnt end up on the Hill. I still worry about Bama but in the end I think he's a vol.
4 - Marlon Brown, WR, 4 stars - He's a Vol after this visit. CLK made him his #1 target and it will pay off.
5 - Alshon Jeffrey, WR, 4 stars - Wanted the glitz of USC, but not the distance. He wont find that glamour at SoCar. Vols Baby.
6 - Darren Myles, DB, 4 stars - CMK made him his #1 and this kid wants to make it to the NFL. Vol on signing day.
7 - Pearlie Graves, DT, 4 stars - Was willing to leave the state to go to UM at one time. Tells me he wants to broaden his horizons. I think CEO is after him and bags the big fella in the end.
8 - Q. Washington, OL, 4 stars - Perhaps my shakiest prediction, but he is a "must get" imo.
<isses:
1 - P. Patterson, WR, 4 stars - Ole Miss. Nutt reels him in.
2 - P. White, OL, 4 stars - I coveted him, but home town pull is to much to overcome.
3 - Morgan Moses, OL, 4 stars - After CLS left it was over.
5 - O Charles, WR/TE, 4 stars - Never had a legit chance. UGA or FSU.
6 - G Reid, DB, 5 stars - Bama lock.
7 - A Phillips, OL, 4 stars - Already has one foot out the door and the other follows on NSD.
8 - J Stokes, WR, 4 stars - We get Zooked. You can thank Malik.
9 - Hardy, RB, 4 stars - Home town gets us again.
10 - Hall, OL, 4 stars - Slight chance with his buddy coming, but not nearly enough.
My possible surprises:
*Sam Montgomery, DE, 4 stars - I think this is such a real possibility that I almost put him in the first list.
*4 star LB/S Frankie Telfort, part of the Rivals 250, is my NSD surprise.
