Updated Class of 2016 Predictions

[etcolton]

I think we land warrior, Dickerson and Derrick brown. I'm gonna make a bold prediction we land hardman.. I think the army all American games makes him want to play receiver. I believe Nigel knows where he wants to go (Tennessee) and is constantly on mecole to get him in Knoxville.

 

[Biopsyman]

We will finish with a full class

 

[kclout]

Only taking one more. I'm pegging Pridgeon as that guy.

Which would be the smart choice since he'll play the fastest out of that group.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I think with the DC change it will affect this class. I am gonna say we land somewhere between 18-25 now. Still not bad. Just not great.

Saw you mention this in Warriors thread as well. Don't you think it's a bit premature to make this kind of prediction before a hire is made?

 

[Catbone]

I bet we lose some guys to transfer because of this too

I don't think so. As long as Butch makes a good hire I don't see any reason a kid who UT when they were losing would walk away with the run they are about to go on starting in 2016.

Precisely, opportunity is no where.

Robinson-CB if Cam leaves.

Good take on Laguins. Haven't seen much lately from him, but the UGA shakeups were working in our favor. No clue what our own changes mean, but I like him at LB.

Probably. But when it comes to recruiting, I am definitely a glass half empty guy.

Your glass has 50% liquid, and 50% air.

So, technically, your glass IS full.

True. But since air is not in the visible spectrum, we can only theorize that its in there

Kind of like my wife's heart. Im sure she has one but sometimes it feels like shes a blood sucking vampire that's slowly draining the life right out of my body

Sounds like a nice, happy marriage you have there chief

Anything is possible but it was posted in another thread that VQ felt after we add Tatum UT will try to add 1 more WR, 2 more on the DL, and Warrior. That really simplifies the final product.

Brown or Thompson at DT. (1)

Richards or Callaway at WR. (1)

Simmons, Kongbo, Lucas, Bailey at DE. (1)

Warrior.

May not be pretty, but looks simple.

This is basically my thinking with the caveat that if a playmaker like Laguins (sp?), Dickerson, etc wants on board you make room.
