Remaining Targets (discussion welcome)

[MoB_MoVols]

Bruce says that he will be playing RB???

Forgot about Bruce however he's been mentioned as one of the potential casualties with all the big fish were in on late right?

 

[orange parmejohn]

If he'd sent those texts to my daughter I'd be in prison.

Not sure what the specifics are but do you think obscene texts make him any different than most any other high school kid?

Really hope him and Stewart aren't cut. Not sure if anyone bleeds orange like they do.

 

[tdtrevorg]

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.

Isn't the older Abernathy from Cincy transferring here for one year?

 

[LA Vol]

It would be tricky to cut a local kid like Bruce that has been around the program so much and is 100% loyal. It could generate bad publicity that we don't want.

Reid is EE, so that will be decided within a month. Has he been encouraged to look around?

RDAIV has one year of eligibility left, and he plays both RB and slot receiver. He could be our main return guy, so we don't have to put Sutton back there so much.

 

[Dust10]

When I get time, I'll add Francois to the OP. Looking more and more likely a 3rd qb in this class could be a reality.

Paulk reinsated. Is this likely??? First I've heard of it. Is there a link or other info on this?

Its been posted several times from various trusted sources and I read it on Rockytopinder as well. Basically said he has been enrolled at UT and his girlfriend dropled the charges and even said she was the aggressor in the incident. Being said that Butch most likely would reinstate him. Hoping that he does, I liked him as a recruit and will help with depth not that Scott is gone.

 

[jasonvol18]

Yes he is. Figure he will be more of a special teams guy and touch's here and there but not really sure what thry have planned for him. I'm sure it will vary depending on injuries and performance. But if nothing else he's played a lot of RB in college and adds depth and experience.

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:

Made some changes to the OP.

Add Francois and upgraded both qbs to 50/50 chance. I've come to the conclusion that we are deff taking 3 qbs this year.

Also removed Kirkland (BOOM) and Weber (OSU).

And I've downgraded Phillips from "strong chance" to "50/50 chance." Looks like we are in a serious fight with LSU here.

 

[bignewt]

Van Jefferson = small chance IMO

 

[Dust10]

Van Jefferson = small chance IMO

I'd agree. Didn't even look at the WR's today. Thanks :hi:

Removed Bussey (BOOM) and Richmond (troll)

 

[Catbone]

Looks right on

 

[OH-Vol]

Do we still have a shot at Love following the Bussey commitment?

I think we get Jones, one of walker or Phillips, love, one of Allen or st louis , and one of martin or Phillips.

 

[Dust10]

GFW said the coaches like him a lot.

 

[OH-Vol]

GFW said the coaches like him a lot.

I get that, but does he come to a school with Kamara, Reid, Bussey and Bruce committed at RB?

 

[Dust10]

Couldn't say. With Reid taking visits, I wouldn't be surprised if the class is Kamara, Bussey, and Love.

 

[SobeVol]

For those more skilled at internet than me, can we add expected announcement dates to this list, so we know when to get our jimmies rustled?

The only one I know of is Phillips at the Army game. Added it to the OP. I think there is also a thread around here somewhere with that info.

Removed Martin - BOOM and upgraded Jones to "strong chance." Seems pretty inevitable he will be a Vol.
