Recruiting Class Predictions (merged)

[RockyTop411]

Whats up with Broussard? Everyone says he's leaving. And Lattimore is slim-to-none chance.

 

[BeecherVol]

:question: Also if Brown does sign with UT, I think David Oku will transfer for some PT.

Doubt we get Brown, but if we did, Oku has a year on him, and seemed to make the most of his chances.

Poole is a different story. IMO

 

[milligan_vol]

That's utterly and completely ridiculous. Oku will see carries similar to Bryce Brown's this year. He'll be the second tailback. Why would he go anywhere? Especially with Poole likely to transfer.

That makes zero sense.

Completely agree :good!:

 

[BeecherVol]

I'll post mine from the other thread:

S Ahmad Dixon
CB Nickell Robey
LB Christian Jones
LB LaDarius Owens
RB Marcus Lattimore
OT Chaz Green
OG James Stone
OT James Cullen (JuCo - summer enrollee)
DT Calvin Smith (future OG)

And we lose Broussard and Harris.

Interesting

Lattimore has two teammates that are going to be Vols and that have been recruiting him harder individually than South Carolina is. There's a chance.

Broussard may be sign-and-place. That's the only chance that he has to be a part of this class.

Oku was upset with getting not alot of playing time. I don't care what anyone says, if Brown does what he did + more next year (he's a 20-25 carry back) then where does that leave David? 5-10 carries? Kick off return? It's kinda like what Lendale White is doing... Chris Johnson plays most of the game Lendale comes in for CJ getting his breath back from racing up and down the field. Am I wrong?

[Glutton]

Yes you are my friend. David said in an interview a few weeks ago he was perfectly fine with his role and was willing to do WHATEVER it takes to help the team. Plus he said he liked KO returns. He won't be leaving

Lattimore has two teammates that are going to be Vols and that have been recruiting him harder individually than South Carolina is. There's a chance.

There's also a chance that the lead recruiter for Lattimore at USCjr. will be the next RB coach for the Vols...

That made my day, it shows why kids come to play for UT. Most kids wouldn't be happy with that IMO. :good!:

Graham? :hi:

I was shocked when I heard him talk because I expected what you were thinking but that wasn't the case. His mentality resembles Montario's..........that's a good place to start

 

[tvolsfan]

Could we get another QB in there?

 

[Sabanocchio]

For all the fuss around signing day with Oku, he's been one of the best examples of what it means to be a Vol around. He really seems like a stellar guy.

That was why I stated in the first place, never heard the news conference. Now I don't feel like a complete idiot! :rock:

 

[Sabanocchio]

Certainly. I couldn't tell you who right now.

Apologies if I made you feel like an idiot. That wasn't my intention.

 

[codyg10]

Hopefully if we get Graham he wont coach for the UF game

 

[RockyTop411]

The whole fact that I hadn't heard the news conference made me feel like an idiot. Cheers to you my friend, all is well. :hi:

Apologies as well. Didn't mean to sound like a smart***. Hope I didn't offend

 

[MrBamSeydu]

23 commits right now. I think we lose Broussard to JUCO and Williams to Ole Miss - leaves us with 21. We can take 30.

Here are the 9 I predict we close with:

RB Brown or Darkwa
OL Green
OL Cullen
DE Lemonier
LB Jones
LB Owens
CB Robey
S Dixon
S Wright or Riley

(and yes, I know we've had a million of these threads already)

RB Brown
WR Hunter
OL Green
OL Cullen
DE Lemonier
LB Nelson
LB Owens (*If we lose Williams)
CB Robey
S Dixon

We may also not get Pat Harris in which opens door for:

CB Menzie
or
QB Simms

 

[tripper]

Hopefully if we get Graham he wont coach for the UF game

? Jay Graham's at USCe.
