'24 TN WR Amari Jefferson (Alabama commit)

[85SugarVol]

uh that fact that our main rival just got a very talented playmaker at WR (a position of need)??????

I’m not shedding any tears over this one.

And I certainly wouldn’t trade him for Mike Mathews. Or a Wingo.

If this kid wasn’t in state, if he was from Nevada or Maryland? Would anyone care?

It's not about Amari. it's the fact that we lost a kid we should've been able to get to Bama that has the opportunity to be a significant factor there. Amari is very good, he just has only been really on rankings/schools radar's relatively recently. There is a reason we had him in our big three. In a vacuum, it isn't a major problem, but recruiting is the definition grey in black and white

I agree with you but Bama is going to get theirs. We just have to beat their sorry carcasses on the field.

 

[De La Cloobs]

After Wingo, finish filling out this class with linemen. Especially on the offensive side. This offense works best when we run successfully between the tackles forcing the opponent to rotate extra defenders into the box.
The QBs and WRs get the attention but it all starts in the trenches.
Tennessee doesn’t beat Alabama last season without Darnell Wright shutting down Will Anderson. And we will not beat Georgia until we can run against their D consistently. Get the big uglies

This is not stated enough.

Not to mention it wouldn’t hurt with his fellow highly rated teammate in the ‘25 class. But I’m guessing most people don’t even know that he exists yet.

Bama has been stacking classes for 15 years. Them getting another player isn’t going to make or break us.

I remain meh on this “loss”.

Wait. There’s a ‘25 class? How many players are in it?

Hopefully a lot commited to us this time next year. But hey if they aren’t bama has been stacking classes anyways..-

I bet Heup lands a couple dozen himself. I bet they’ll be pretty good, too.

Well yeah, I’m hoping so too. And I’m sure the Huep is very aware of the ‘25 kids instate and trying his best to keep them home and playing in orange. Anything else?

I don’t know. You jumped in. You got anything else to update us on?

We need Kam Mikell

I'm not sure if this is his dad or not but he's eyeballing that Tennessee hat.

He's sleeping.

Obviously I don’t know you either . Maybe I misunderstood your original reply to me bc I didn’t reply to you. And I wasn’t talking to you in that reply I was responding to AVR. I wasn’t keeping up with what you and him were taking about, I didn’t even notice that y’all were going back and forth till just now. I just want to keep the instate guys our coaches really want in orange. I’m really not sure what the problem is.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Mike Matthews from GA…..

Ok then. Go Vols.

 

[AllThingsTN]

Yep and I know we won’t get all of the best instate guys we want, it’s just how things are these days. Hopefully we get most of them tho. Go Vols.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I bet our wide receivers have better stats than this guy. He's going to a team where the head coach has stated he wants a more ball control. His offensive coordinator is about as boring as it gets.

Edit to add that TN qbs are far superior to what Bama has on the horizon. He got conned by the master con man.

 

[Volfan1000]

We are loaded at the receiver position and will be fine.

Who knows how much longer will Saban continue coaching at Alabama?

He just dropped 17.5 million on a beach front house in Jupiter, Florida.

 

[Jackcrevol]

do threads have ignore?

 

[JacketVol]

Good luck to him at bama (except against us). Really wanted this young man to be a Vol but it is what it is. Hopefully we are able to bring in at least one more high quality receiver in this class.

I want Bama to lose every game so I will not wish any of them luck. You play for them then I hope you never win a game.

 

[LittleVol]

W

I'm sure that's it. Committing to the football factory that is Alabama is the move if you're afraid of competition.

Well...he's going there to play WR not anything else. They're soft there.

He went there to EAT.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

It’s like you guys totally forgot about Mike Mathews and Staley

 

[LittleVol]

There's too many people trying take this seriously...and then tell us to "let it go"

There's too many people trying to bad mouth the kid for making a smart decision for himself.

Alabama wanted him because he's a quick, sure handed, tough WR. Their WRs on the roster now are super soft and lack fundamentals. We don't have those problems.

We might get Kam Mikell and Wingo!
And we already have Matthews and Staley.

Amari wasn't going to take our WR roon to another level. But he will tremendously help Alabamas.

There's just not a lot to get mad at with this result.
