'24 TN WR Amari Jefferson (Alabama commit)

[SweetasSoda]

Question. What’s up with recruits being able to get them to take their crystal balls down? Kinda defeats the whole purpose.

 

[spyfish007]

Yeah. That seems crazy. How you go with Bama over Vols in baseball. Makes zero sense.

I would suggest it would be easier to get playing time on the Bama baseball team.....

The studies are 4 years apart to see if the 18 year olds were accurately ranked coming out of HS. NOT this years HS vs THIS years college.

If this years draft had 20 from Texas but had 40 top 300 4 years earlier they were mis-evaluated.

You are missing it. Take Tillman. He was barely a 3* coming out of HS. His draft projection was likely undrafted. 4 years later he goes in the third round after college level coaching. Does that mean he was Mia-evaluated? No. It means at the time he wasn’t that good. But after college coaching he became much better.There is no way to legitimately go by what you are saying to see if recruits were accurately ranked coming out of HS. The only way you could do that is if every player was developed buy the exact same coaching staff.

Yes. Could be.

Catholic has been hot garbage lately.

Steve Matthew’s just took back over though

Whether or not a state is worthy of 40 top 300 in college this year will or will not be validated by how many (out of roughly 300) are drafted 4 years later. Does not have to be the same players. Misses high and low can offset each other but the rational for the quantity of each state can be measured. The NFL with real finality.... follow the money.

Yeah he found a nice loophole to backdoor his way in there too.

 

[Orange.]

Stupid if true. TV has only taken his team to the CWS twice in the past 3 years. This should be a no contest.

Yeah, he's gambling by choosing Alabama baseball.

 

[knoxvol52]

Maybe putting all his effort into football ,maybe baseball is secondary to Jefferson since Saban has wooed him lol

 

[Panthro]

I went ahead and booked him to come on my podcast Tuesday, just in case he’s a Vol.

No VQ War Room update on Amari? I know all signs point to Bama, but that's an interesting point not to cover a day before his commitment.

exxactly...

 

[cncchris33]

why waste time?

Well, I get that angle, too, but it hasn't stopped them in the past from at least making a one sentence note of it. The omission itself is more curious than the assumption.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I wish him nothing but the worst at Bama

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Let’s not forget Nick Saban defended one of his players for assaulting a female because “he was scared.”

True POS.

Eh we have several better than Amari Jeffersons on our baseball roster. His pathway to PT on our baseball team is much much smaller than at Bama. That’s no slight to him that’s just the current state of where our baseball program is. Alex Stanwich who was a top 150 type prospect in the 2022 draft just transferred because he didn’t have a pathway to the field.

To many first of August cancelations, they are probably salty.

You have a point.

I feel like he doesn’t play baseball very long. I’ll be surprised if Saban lets him continue with it if he’s worth anything on the football field.

I believe their freshman QB Longeran is doing both. But yeah he’s only a freshman.

That would be a good way to make someone transfer.

,,, and who do they think they're kidding? Like nobody saw it? Everyone knows that he is going to announce his commitment to Alabama tomorrow. Is it really that big a deal? They act like they are safeguarding a trade secret or something.

Got to have that hat reveal.
