'19 TN DE Joseph Anderson (SC signee)

[PA Vol]

I think it also matters when Bama offered. If they offered his freshman/sophomore year, when so many of this in state class were first hyped, then it really doesn't matter anymore.

 

[Nashvegas31]

This is correct. And while Bama runs a 3-4 they offered Joseph Anderson, apparently he fit their system.

Weren't actively recruiting him. Not saying he isn't a good player. He is. Just doesn't seem like 3-4 teams know what to do with him position wise and are in stalling pattern. TN wanted him to camp to see his progress. There are mixed reviews on him. Up to coaches to make sure he fits their system.

muschamp knows defense and his system. So no reason to worry about what anyone thinks. Muschamp offensive evals a different story.

Good player. Good enough that a fan of the team that landed him should have been happy with that, and not NEED another fanbase to be butthurt in order to be so. :hmm:

 

[onevol74]

Would you trade him for Bryce Anderson? Think we got the better deal here.

Who?

 

[butchna]

Who?

Thompson’s doppelgänger.

 

[Caleb59seal]

No

The answer is yes. They are both modified off of Bama’s Defense.

I’ve been following recruiting for a long time, and realize there’s usually a good reason why a player shuns a school. I’m just curious why it appears we weren’t even considered... Could be we got in late, grades, ruffled a hs coach’s feathers.. (which has been brought up by another SEC coach)

He looks pretty good and supposedly had commitable offers from Bama, Clemson, Michigan, Georgia, ND, LSU, Ohio State and Penn St.

He’s now committed to South Carolina.....(hmmm...)

He didn't shun us. We weren't pushing for him. I think we asked him to camp to see where he would fit position wise if at all. He took the sure thing and it's a good spot for him

Ok Thanks. I wonder how legit those other offers were.

Look at those schools and then look at where he committed and I think you can answer that question yourself.

Clemson wanted him and their offer was solid.

 

[butchna]

Why? :thud:

 

[griddie]

Clemson is having a down year in recruiting. UT and SC are having a big impact on them in comparison to the past 5 years or so.

 

[31VFL]

In the VQ chat tonight one of the writers said he tried to commit in February and we wouldn’t take it.

Come NSD, rivers of Benjamin’s will flow like the salmon of Capistrano

Oh no doubt.

Mentioned this on last weeks VQ podcast as well. Said he wanted to commit and the staff wanted him to hold off and camp.

Apparently they’ve come around to him now and might try to get back into things here.

“Tennessee could also totally try to get back involved with a guy like Anderson, especially after such a strong summer, but as Pruitt noted Wednesday in his comments, in-state recruiting is important but in the end, fit trumps all. ”

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Best chance to flip?

I would say Anderson because he liked Tennessee so much growing up, but he was ready to jump in back in Feb. and Tennessee wouldn't let him so I don't know what he thinks about this staff now.

Hubbs

 

[Nashvegas31]

If we look good on field hurt feeling can go away quickly

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Price really thinks that if the staff likes what they see in his first few games and turn up the heat then he will be a Vol

 

[jakez4ut]

maybe not a Norton level flip, but i'd be all for this.....

Another article behind the 247 paywall...

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

SCUTTLE: Anderson was a heavy Vol lean when Pruitt took over nine months ago. Then Tennessee didn’t reciprocate the feelings. He committed to South Carolina this summer and never camped with Tennessee. The Vol staff has been in contact with Anderson as they evaluate the start to his senior season.
