NRPP, do you mind sharing any information about why you want us to have nothing to do with Richmond? I took from it that he maybe has some character issues, but may be reading too much into it. Also, I was under the impression that we were in very good shape with Love. I am wondering if the coaches are willing to take Kelly in his spot, if that means we also get Weber.

Dumb question...does this board have private messaging features?

Unfortunately, no. Used to. If it is information that you do not want to post publicly, then I understand. What do you think about the running back situation that I mentioned?

I dont like bad mouthing kids. Because they are all dumb. I know I was. But ive personally seen text conversations that make me cringe.

As for running backs, if we get Weber and Kelly in for a visit, I think they join Kamara.

Hope so. We really need 3 RBs this class. Thanks for the info.

QB-Done(2)

RB-If the staff can get a reasonable replacement for Reid I think they will make that trade. Looks to be Love as the likely candidate. (2)

WR-Done(3)

TE-Oliver taking trips, but no clear cut replacement I can see. He's probably safe for now. (1)

OL-Done(waited too long IMO)(4)

DT-Done(3)

DE-Jackson and Taylor taking trips. Phillips IMO takes one of those spots. Walker may be in play for the other. IMO Walker has UT no better than 3rd or 4th currently.(4)

MLB-Obviously it looks like Kirkland is taking Cherry's spot. Then done. (1)

OLB-If they take Sapp, it appears Griffin will stick at S. With Griffin taking trips, another S may be in play. IMO JJ needs to pay attention to this. (2)

CB- I think Amadi takes Miller's spot if he wants it. Martin appears to be a take, but not sure how he fits.(3)

K/P/ST-Done(2)

I personally don't think Richmond ever plans to come here. He likes the attention but has never seemed to think twice about his commitment. I would call him a .5% chance.

As in, I wouldn't put him on the board at all. Hasn't the coaches stopped recruiting him because of this?

I agree. I also don't think its really his choice where he goes. I almost didn't put him up, but decided to just go the "small chance" route.

I've heard this from a few people now...not going into specifics, just that they would rather not want him on our team for very similar reasons--character being a big one. Interesting...

If I were a wide receiver, I'd have to think twice about us. It's hard to catch balls when the coach never lets the QB throw over 10 yards.

Hard to throw farther than 10 yards, when a 5 step drop is defined as "drop back 4 steps and drop hard on your back". Could have something to do with the coaching philosophy. Just a thot.

thought i'd put together a list of targets that a) seem to be interested in becoming vols and b) we seem to be interested in signing.

This is sort of like the targets/commits thread, but gives a place where serious targets are listed and can be discussed in one thread (seems like stickied threads don't get much discussion).

Here is my personal assessment (small chance, 50/50 chance, or strong chance) of where i personally think we stand.

No doubt there will be names added and subtracted from this list as we get closer to nsd. I'll keep the thread updated if there is interest.

Discussion and debate welcome :hi:

offensive targets

qb:
sheriron jones (small chance)

rb:
bryce love (strong chance)
kendall bussey (50/50 chance)
michael weber (small chance)
john kelly (small chance)

wr:
van jefferson (50/50 chance)
ryan newsome (50/50 chance)

ol:
tyree st. Louis (50/50 chance)
pat allen (50/50 chance)
drew richmond (small chance)

defensive targets

dl:
kyle phillips (strong chance)
d'andre walker (50/50 chance)

lb:
darrin kirkland (strong chance) boom!!
quarte sapp (50/50 chance)

db:
justin martin (strong chance)
ugo amadi (50/50 chance)

Ill give my 2 cents:

Offense
Sheriron Jones:30/70 (Ole Miss)
Bryce Love:50/50 (Stanford)
Kendall Bussey:50/50 (Nebraska)
Michael Weber:60/40 (If he and Kelly come in for a visit, I think they both are Vols)
John Kelly:60/40 (See above)
Van Jefferson:30/70 (Family really loves UGA)
Ryan Newsome:60/40 (Pig clone)
Tyree St. Louis:70/30 (Bit of a project but could play either side and is a true tackle)
Pat Allen:20/80 (Georgia)
Drew Richmond:0/100 (Do NOT want this guy, and is has nothing to do with Verbal to Ole Miss or any other VN traditions)

Defensive
Kyle Phillips:50/50 (Its either us or LSU)
D'Andre Walker:90/10 (Ive been saying hes a Vol for months)
Darrin Kirkland Jr:80/20 (Cancelling visits is a good sign. Look for a double dip on January 3rd)
Quarte Sapp:60/40 (Only way he isnt a Vol is if he waits too long and we dont have room)
Justin Martin:60/40 (LSU getting the last visit drops this from 70/30)
Ugo Amadi:50/50 (What happens with Phillips and Martin will affect this one)

Others we have a shot at:
Bryan Cole: 20/80 (Percentage goes up if we get a visit)
Michael Horton:50/50 (Coaching change at Florida and we just had an in home, back up to St Louis or if one of our lineman leave)
Click to expand...

Thought Jones ruled out OleMiss once Kelly committed there. Think if Butch wants Jones we most likely get him. Only Van's Mom likes GA, Van and his Dad want him at UT. If his Mom will sign off on UT he will be a Vol according to the guy that is close with them that posts on VN. Stanford just got an elite RB committ that should further help us with Love.. Agree with you on the rest and think we get Phillips and Walker. Think Sapp is our next committ. Bussey is committing Fri I believe and he is all Aggie I think. Would love to get Newsome, Webber, and either Allen. or StLouis

Notorious, do you think Kamara is the only RB we get this year?
Click to expand...

No chance Kamara is our only RB. Sounds like they want atleast 2 and possibly 3. Most likely Paulk is getting reinstated so they may just take two but with no Depth anything is possible. Hope we keep Reid and add Love.

Maybe Evan berry sticks at RB. Iirc that's where he's at now because all we have right now are Lane, Hurd, and DY

He did practice at RB Sunday. Sounded like an experimental thing for the moment. Butch also said that Evan has been coming on at safety.

Seems as if EB's versatility and our lack of depth at the two positions (RB and S) will prevent him from finding a home anytime soon.. Talent is a good problem to have lol
