Parker is a must get

let me let you in on a little secret, there is no such thing.

But.....He’s an in-State kid!!!!!

Let me rephrase. TN desperately needs 2 more OT’s in this class

That's fair. I wonder if there are any out there in the United States?

I do believe our coaches have a list of possibilities and will be on the lookout during the season for more. They will even get a grad transfer or transfer if necessary.

That's definitely more reasonable. There are very few "must gets" each cycle, and this kid definitely isn't one of them. We could probably manage with only 1 more OT in this class, someone like Mims, as we already have a really good one in Colby Smith.

Parker deciding in September and Vols are the favorite per Price

TN definitely needs 2 more OT and we have the best shot at him and Pounds. Mins is a pipedrean. All 3 linemen last year were interior OL

His rating is interesting considering the schools interested in him.

That’s because the rating systems are stupid, broken, and political.

i don't really disagree, but i think this year, the ratings are affected mainly by covid and no camps for additional evaluation by the services. they're just going off Jr. film at this point.

Yep. I believe this dude said he would rather go work out at a school and earn an offer than go to a camp without coaches there. Seems like he's earned an offer everywhere he goes

Vols in good shape with Parker.

AP has all but said it's done on the pod.

He plays a lot of Defensive End in HS...i don't know if that plays a role in his lower ranking or not.

 

[WhatInVolnation]

So, this guy + Colby Smith, Diego Pounds, and Rod Orr as the 2021 OL class? Seems pretty good to me.

 

[bignewt]

Remember Willie Parker for the Steelers? Dude was a baller.

Isn’t he generally seen as a G?

I think Smith and Pounds are definite projected tackles. Orr, more than likely, is looked at as a tackle due to the athleticism. If he plays to his upside, he will be too good to keep off the field. It its at guard, so be it. Parker looks like a guy that gets his tome on the field early at guard, and kicks out as a senior. Most likely on the right side.

I think if we take those 4 Pounds is the clear left tackle, Griffin and Smith are interior guys and Orr is the RT
