'24 TN WR Amari Jefferson (Tennessee)

[CamVol8]

Somewhat unrelated, but did anyone else see that Leacock is listed at 6'3 209lbs, and Thornton at 6'5 214lbs now? Our receiving corps is going to be monstrous.

wow that’s awesome Leacock is a freshman of course but is Thornton a sophomore or junior?

 

[VOLED]

I’m actually surprised and impressed that’s we beat out UGA in this recruitment since Baylor is only 9 miles from the Georgia state line. Probably more UGA fans in Chattanooga than there are UT fans

Nah, way more Vols than anything else here.

Junior

 

[CamVol8]

Junior

man I really hope he stays 2 years but if he goes crazy this year I guess I wouldn’t blame him if he entered the draft

This is what you want to have happen.

I hope the VOLS get to be the school that QBs/WRs are balling out so much in their junior year that they are all declaring early.

Schmidt has those medieval stretching racks working to perfection.

If we keep developing a good pipeline of recruits, it doesn't matter. In fact, it will encourage more to join.

When is Jefferson supposed to commit

I read somewhere he will go to Bama and UT on visits before he commits, that still true?

 

[Orange.]

So this kid is so good at BB he may be drafted at next year’s draft. He may not even play football

Very unlikely.

Yea visiting us the 28th and Bama the 29th I think.

Hopefully Vols turn into a NFL pipeline. More draft picks = higher caliber recruiting. Then it doesn’t matter who leaves early to a larger degree

Do you doubt those measurements?

I forget what the graphic said but I want to say that Tennessee is the only team to have a receiver draft in the past three or four years. If I'm a receiver I know where I'm going

He has a rare blend of size, speed, and quickness. He's not just a "take the top off a defense" guy. He can also take a 10 yard slant and go the distance too. We'll have to see how they utilize him this year with Bru, Ramel, and Squirrel already established.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Pretty much. My neighbor to the left is a Georgia fan and my neighbor to the right is a Bama fan. Fall around here gets pretty interesting.

This is the exact same for me. Being so close to both states really creates a melting pot for those three teams. I also live in Chatt.

How do you know?

Because AP has stated multiple times that the staff feels Jefferson is just as important as Matthews or Wingo

Not saying you aren't right but of course that's what they said.

Can't see em saying anything else.

I personally have no clue what's right.

The way Alabama is recruiting Jefferson leads me to believe they feel the same way too.

Fair enough. No harm in reading the tea leaves.

Point is would be beyond shyty to tell a kid you're recruiting that he's not a priority.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Too close to call. I get the feeling that it’s Bama but I don’t think it’s that easy
