have a feeling this crop of instaters will be UT's best closing tools for Big O, Tyler, Hardy, and Morris. But, we need us some skill guys too. Hope they can wrangle kid committed to MO

Elijah Young?
He's good where he's at imo.

Yes we really do need another skill guy.
Just like they used McDonald to cement Eason and French, they need to do something similar with The Marietta WR, White.
If we can hang on to ALL of them and add White. Arik Gilbert could jump in the end!
White, Hyatt, and Calloway at WR is nothing to sneeze at!

Close with Barron, Hardy, Thomas, and some other other top 100 player and that's the making of a great class!

When Tamarion McDonald left his official visit at Arkansas over the weekend he knew where he wanted to go to school.
The then-Mississippi State commitment had decided he wanted to stay in state and play for Tennessee, but the 4-star safety from Whitehaven High in Memphis wasn’t sure on when he would pull the trigger.
After a quick phone call with two of his best fiends and Whitehaven teammates, McDonald decided Tuesday was the right now.
In a span of an hour, the Vols added 12 stars to their 2020 class, as 4-star teammates Bryson Eason, Martavius French and McDonald all committed to Tennessee.
“I didn’t know it was going to happen tonight. Promise,” McDonald said.
“But we were texting and said, ‘Tennessee, that’s where we need to be.’
McDonald then asked the trio, “Y’all want to commit tonight?”
When Eason and French both said yes, McDonald agreed, texting back, “That’s cool with me.”
“So we just went on and did it. We called the coaches and let them know that’s where we wanted to be,” he said.
“Man, I’m so happy right now. We’re going to the same school. The place we always really wanted to be at. A comfortable place. A real genuine place.”
Tennessee wasn’t truly on McDonald’s radar until Jeremy Pruitt personally showed interest earlier this fall. After contacting the 6-2, 220-pound athlete, the Vols’ head coach personally watched McDonald play last month and offered him a scholarship that night. While Eason and French have garnered more accolades and attention on the recruiting trail, McDonald has been the most productive high school player, excelling as a hybrid safety-linebacker. Tennessee loves his versatility, with McDonald expecting to see time at multiple spots for the Vols in the future.

“Coach Pruitt showed that he really wanted to see me. He came to my game and checked me out. We went to the official visit and it was so genuine. It felt like family. It felt like we could make an impact real early,” McDonald said on why he committed to the Vols.

“I bring athleticism. Them (Eason and French) some big two boys. But I’m a little faster than them. I got the speed. I can cover and tackle, in the passing game and the run game. Coach Pruitt loves that I can play everywhere.”

McDonald’s official visit to Knoxville for the Georgia game seemingly cemented his decision to state in state and rep the Orange & White. His parents, especially his mom, connected with coach David Johnson and the rest of the staff and that “genuine” feeling was too much to pass up.
“This is just where I want to be. I feel comfortable,” McDonald said.
“I really don’’t know what else to say right now. I’m so happy. Coach Johnson is real cool. All the coaches are real cool. My momma loves Tennessee. She’s going crazy right now.”

Young is a tough player with good speed, I would love to see him as a Vol but he wants out of Knoxville and will go away to college.

Sort of a misunderstanding of how the scores work. Your 25th recruit is basically meaningless, whether he's a 77 LS or an 84 OG it wouldn't matter but a fraction of a point. Nor does Albright bring us down in any way currently. Your top 10 guys have much more weight. We need more high 4*s...Hardy, Omari, etc.
