Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[MoCo_Vol]

5 of our 13 4/5*s played really significant minutes this year (Wright, Morris, Gray, Solomon, Toots).

If you HAD to pick 5 immediate impact (starter or 2-deep type minutes) guys for next year - who do you go with?

I'll say
Calloway
Hyatt
Lawrence
Thomas
Joseph


Some mostly out of need. We are better positioned to not have to rely on true freshmen this year imo, but these guys I would pick if I had to.

Really don't get why people think Gibbs, Johnson, Palmer, Tillman, Keyton gonna lose reps to freshman.

1. Lawrence
2. Eason (could be Whitehead if he moves to LB or could be French, think LB has some PT opportunity)
3. Big O/Bailey or Perry - one of these 3 earns some DL reps I am not sold on either JuCo guy from last season really holding off the incoming guys
4. Morven or Baron - someone who can give us a pass rush
5. Cooper - Cooper likely can play 3 positions on the OL, losing Ryan/Tatum as well as likely losing Trey and the possibility we don't get Kennedy have me thinking he could earn reps early/often on the OL

ESPN has to be hurting our rating
10th on Rivals
14th on 247
Composite 16th

It's clear... Rivals loves us

Great day.

Very good. Joseph would make it great.

 

[millst987]

We get Joseph and I’m officially super happy with today

 

[jkleno]

Lol, no

Doom might be a stretch, but not joining the SEC because you want all the $$$ of the Longhorn Channel, was a mistake.

Pair of Jimmys on the outside to torch the defense

Now we just need some Joes.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

So the "new names" that have popped up we didn't have before today.

Len'Neth Whitehead - 4 * LB/RB (Sherrer & YAC)
Jimmy Holiday - 3 * ATH (QB) (Friend & Tee)
RJ Perry - 3 * DL (Sherrer & Rocker)
Baron - 4 * OLB (Nieds & Rocker)

Morven could be the other 4 * OLB (Rumph)


Looks like Sherrer & Rocker might not be doing so bad on the old trail afterall....

 

[chargervol]

Would someone add Joseph and do away with Albright on the 247 calculator, just to get a more realistic idea?

Yes it's stupid that Will (the real OG) hurts the numbers but I'm still curious

 

[drvenner]

I'd legit do cartwheels down the strip like I said I would.

I'll allow it. Won't watch the film at 11:00, tho.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Great day.

Would love more top end talent but give me all the big sumbitches over small WRs and corners.

ESPN hates UT

[Crazy Ivan]

What the he!!, Baylor. Who thought this was a good idea?

Baylor uses puppets to introduce signees on National Signing Day

 

[AppStVol]

I guess 247 gave us an extra spot, we are 15th now in the composite

Auburn flipped a Miami LB commit.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Need to upgrade

Landing Washington & Morven will jump Rumph and Nieds up. Both have high average ratings, but less commits.

 

[UTSuave’]

Need to upgrade

Sheesh Nieds

CLOSE YOUR EYES NEGAVOLS


"Not a weak recruit on that list"

Excellent on DL, Deep and versatile at LB, 2 bona fide ballers at DB, 3 merchants to stretch the field, 3 RB's with different skill sets, potential crushers at OG, Harrison Bailey. This might not be a top 10 class but I'm going to go out and say that there will be 4 or 5 guys that will perform at a 5 star level for multiple years from this group. Plus get to run at Hardy, Clowney and a better than most think possibility with Washington and then whoever goes portaling.

- JAV (not just insider, but legit NFL scout experience)

That's what I think, too. It's a pretty deep class with a lot of solid to very good prospects who could end up being good players in college. We'll see how many of them end up being stars, but there's no question in my mind this class will improve Tennessee's depth and overall talent across the board. And I see very few guys who even look like potential busts to me, although you never really know with those types of things.

LIstening to Pruitt talk about the first half of the day, kind of get the vibe from his tone that we might be in for some surprises this afternoon.

You surprised? It's Baylor lol

The issues Texas has had over the last decade, which eerily parallel those at Tennessee, do not stem from a failure to join the SEC.

A&M is having a good recruiting class. Good for them. But they are currently sitting at #6 on the 247 composite and Texas is . . . #9, with 6 fewer current commits. And Texas has had top-5 classes the last two years.

Cause on VN, we switch players position based on height and we start all freshmen over upperclassmen.
