Demon Vol: Sorry but your information is completely wrong(except that this has been discussed and explained on this andmost other college football fan threads) my dear friend. SEC says that you can sign 28 per year, not including grayshirts, etc, so we can backcount 5 from last year. It is a very complicating subject. Thankfully the only person who really needs to 100% understand the rules is CDD.
Stars mean nothing....I trust the staff more than anything else
You can't backcount the 3 sign and place guys that get you to the 28 limit. The amount you can enroll per year, minus back counts is 25. We signed 23 last year so we get 2 (count em, 1 and then 2) back counts. We can get 25 that count for this class into school. We can also sign 2 more that back count to last years class for a total of 27 that can enroll. We can furthermore sign 3 that are sign and place guys that don't qualify and have to go to Juco. That's a total of 30.
it was Sydney Spencer that came from Hoover.
Propst is a smart kid and a very good lb..Helped Hoover win the state championship in 6a in Alabama this year.
HE CAN PLAY......
Rush is his uncle...but the kid has very good football instints..nose for the ball..
Here are the 2 star guys we've signed since 2002. Seems about equally split between guys who have contributed and guys no one remembers. Wouldn't label any of these guys stars (although Hughes could be special)
Jason Hall
Leon Pinky
Antonio Gaines
Bill Grimes
Bo Hardegree
Inky Johnson
Ellix Wilson
Chris Brown
Ryan Karl
James Turner
Britton Colquitt
Chad Cunningham
Dorian Davis
Stephaun Raines
Daniel Lincoln
Cory Hall
Carson Anderson
Montori Hughes
so let me get this straight. correct me if any of this is wrong.
we are allowed a total of 27 commitments, and then 3 sign and place guys.
currently we have 25 commitments, but ralph williams isnt going to end up here, so we actually have 24. this leaves us with 3 guys we can get, and itll probably be between ambles rogers glass stone and robinson?
then my other question is will john brown make it in? and if he doesnt, he will be a sign and place and then we can bring in 4 instead of three right? haha sorry if all that is hard to follow...

so THEDON is from Maryland and claims to know more about a kid than I do and I live in HOOVER 5 minutes or so from the stadium where the kid plays all his home games.
shut up!
I didn't say he was the next coming of Al Wilson...
but he will surprise Vols fans that do not know who he is and are wondering why we snagged a 3 star lb
why are we taking these no name players when there are 4 and 5* still out there considering use?
