Looking forward to the coming week, we've got the early signing period starting on Wednesday. Biggest question of the week, will David Sanders honor his commitment to Tennessee? I sure as hell hope so. Other questions, will any of our current commitments flip to other teams? TOS has suggested that DL Darrion Smith will flip to Auburn. Haven't heard anything about anyone else (other than Sanders). So who might we add? DL Isaiah Campbell is set to announce on Wednesday. It's between us and UNC, and considering UNC just fired their HC, that should bode well for us. And we're also trying to flip LB Jadon Perlotte from USC and S Timothy Merritt from Miami. Those are really the only names I've heard mentioned, but it would be nice if they surprised us with the flip of a highly rated OL. But I don't expect that to happen.
The transfer portal opens on Monday, December 9th, and remains open until December 28th. My guess is we'll look for some OL and DL help in the portal. Maybe we look at WR based on who enters, but we seem set at most other positions. I suppose it's possible we look at adding a TE for depth purposes as Kitselman is graduating, but it's not really a "need". Probably the biggest question with the portal is if we have any guys who are unhappy and decide to jump in. I'd expect at least a few guys buried on the depth chart might go, but hopefully no big names jump in. Still unsure what the roster limit for next season. Is it 85 or 105? Either way, we have to be two under the number while we're still on probation.
