yeah, i think Sheffield has some interest. but i don't know he'll get a legit scholarship offer with guys like Payton, Brown and Curry still on the board. and unless his offer list blows up in the not too distant future, i could see a PWO...but that point, it'll just depend on just how bad he wants to play here. cause he can get a free ride somewhere else.

He's committed to Purdue. But, he is a real talent. JMO

False he doesn't want overrated/inflated players. He is still taking instate kids. Just the ones he think are a fit in his system. He just isn't falling for the Rivals politics. He trust his own board.

yeah, if you peruse the 2020 Tennessee class, it's littered with kids with offers from TN. the 20 TN class is really strong, and we have extended offers to everyone in the top 10, and most of the top 25.
it's just that being from TN isn't some trump card with this staff, like it was with the last.

no one can predict the future, but yeah, i remember last year when Trey Knox was a "can't let him leave the state" guy.

things change.

just as we sit here today, that's the take on the 20 class. it could, and probably will change some before December 2019/Feb 2020.....

Not so sure. This kid is 6’5” 215 lb WR 4* prospect. How can he not fit anyone’s system?

I suppose Ga,Ala,Mich,Oregon,etc got it all wrong. Pruitt simply does not want kids that can whistle rocky top.

You don't make any sense.

He wants Norton and Logue that went to UGA. Mitchell only one he didn't in that group.

Who does Bama have in this class from TN?

He is about to flip gray from Michigan

He didn't want wilhoite. He asked him to camp because he thinks he plays crap competition. He wouldn't. You think a TN kid with a real Clemson, FSU, TN offer would go to Oregon? No he wouldnt prove himself to them so he couldn't commit to either.

that's just BS. there are kids in state that are committed to other places that this staff wants, a la Norton and Gray. there are others that they didn't a la Knox, Otey, Wilhoite, Washington....they have a profile, and it's pretty well documented how some of those guys' recruitment went as far as camps and stuff went, who was willing, who wasn't etc....

if you believe that this staff isn't recruiting players from TN or that we're "losing" players from TN for any other reason that a) that kid had legit options to go a GA or Michigan AND UT or b) the kid wasn't that high on the board....then that's just a choice you're making.

i can promise you it's not because "he's from TN, don't want".

well, we do lose all of our starting DL....so next year we'll be young. and there's not anyone on the roster, or in the current commit list, that you can peg as a difference maker up front.

will be interesting to see what we do on the DL the rest of the way in this class.

he certainly still has the potential to be. he's coming off that injury from his Sr. year in HS, and he just needs to develop. no sin in that. he's definitley one that another year in the program could be really beneficial. and Gooden will be back next year, and he's looked the part this year.

If Gooden can stay in school... he'll be a very good player for us that has a chance to be drafted. He's got some "nasty" in him.

Im not worried that we didn't get this WR, but our class has fallen down to #14. Anyone think that we kind of need a shot in the arm and get someone to commit here soon and keep up the momentum? Pruitt's recruiting credentials arent really coming through just yet!

i don't think anyone should be worried about the momentum....unless it becomes time to worry abou it.

this class is still solid, and somewhat fluid.

anxiety level about this class should stay flat, unless someone named Keyton or Morris decommits, or at least until we get closer to the signing days, and we start to really see dominos fall.
