Alright... lets be real here for a moment and talk about how this class is going to finish.
I think at this point we can say that Darnell Wright is a Vol. He's as much a lock as you can have without the guy being committed. We're the only place that he has visited this much and I wouldn't be surprised if VQ already shot the commitment video when they went to WV. He's a Vol. That gives us 2 top 15 5 stars in this class.
The VQ guys are basically saying that Eric Gray is going to flip to the Vols. That seems imminent. Gray is a Vol. Khafre Brown is also a Vol if we want him according to VQ.
Now, maybe I'm dreaming, but I am extremely confident in Pappoe. This kid grew up a Vols fan and before Butch ruined it, we were considered his leader. He visited us a ton his freshman and sophomore year. He has always loved the Vols. Now all of the sudden he is returning to his first love. Auburn is struggling on the field in spite of the talent that they have and they most likely will get blown out in their final two SEC games. Meanwhile, he knows that TN is just getting started building and he has very close relationships with our coaching staff. He has suddenly begun visiting frequently coming twice this month. He is also going to visit us officially the last weekend before the early signing period when he plans to sign. This is huge. Plus, someone who is supposedly connected to GA recruits, Junior Baker, has predicted a flip to TN. This seems like its going to happen barring some great change like him choosing UGA for some reason. I don't think he'll end up at Auburn. I think he's a Vol. That would give us 3 top 15 5 stars in this class.
If he comes, Kenyatta Watson coming looks even more likely than it does already. VQ seems to be indicating that he is seriously considering flipping to TN anyway. If we land Pappoe, Watson is coming imo. Or it may go the other way and we land Watson first. If that happens, Pappoe is coming with him. Junior Baker has also predicted him to flip to TN. I feel pretty confident that we land Watson also.
That leads us to Haselwood. A week ago we weren't even talking about him. But now, suddenly there is a lot of smoke about him and TN. He is close to the Grayson guys that I just mentioned and if we land them, Haselwood is probably coming too. Miami is going down under Mark Right and I'm sure that Haselwood can see that. OU could be his destination or he could end up back at UGA, but VQ said in the war room last night that not only is he going to take an OV here but he will also likely visit two more times as well. How many times does that happen and the recruit not end up at that spot? The famous line in recruiting is to follow the visits. This is one to watch especially if we land Pappoe. If we land him that we give us another top 15 5 star and our 3rd top 10 5 star player.
There is quietly a lot of smoke around Ebiogbe as well. He is visiting this weekend and I don't know where the buzz is coming from, but it is definitely there. Junior Baker has also predicted him to flip to TN. I'm not sure about him, but he is one of the biggest needs and I hope that Baker is as connected as Geaux and others have said.
Crouch, he's probably going to Clemson, but he changes his mind so much it may come down to whoever gets the last visit.
Right now I feel very confident that we land Wright, Pappoe, Brown, and Gray, and I feel pretty good about Haselwood if he indeed visits as many times as VQ says. A lot can change though between now and signing day and who knows what could change if we go 0-3 to finish out the season. But, on November 9th, this is looking pretty good to me and if we land these guys we are looking at a potential top 5 class but definitely a top 10 class and a quick rebuilding foundation.
What ya'll think?
