Vols recruiting finish

[NighthawkVol]

My realistic prediction for the Vols finish to the 2019 class.

JaVonta Payton
Eric Gray
Darnell Wright
Khafre Brown
Kenyatta Watson
Owen Pappoe
Bill Norton

That’s 27.

Cox flips to Auburn and Tennessee recruits over Clemons. That puts Tennessee at 25.

Guessing that’s a top 10 class. Somewhere around 8-10, unless some guys like Beasley or Maurer get a bump in rankings.

Of course, I’m hoping Tennessee can pull some surprises like Haselwood, To’oto’o, Bogle, and Crouch, but at this point, I think the Vols are on the outside with them. Long way to go, though, and Pruitt is known as a closer.

Can’t recruit over Clemons if you don’t get another pass rusher. But other than that I like this list. Need to win out to lock it down though.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

I believe Tennessee can only take 22 this year due to 3 grad transfers in last recruiting class.

I'll bet you the powerball winnings they take more than 22.

I think Newt is right. They'll have to figure something out. Blueshirt a few of these hometown boys is probably the solution.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Won’t take two more receivers. Payton will be it

 

[VOLATNES]

What about LB? Would Henry and Pappoe be enough?

Edit: assuming we keep Henry and Pappoe flipped.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

If we could get Wright and flip Norton, I'd be very happy.

With Wright, O-line of the future is looking very good. I'm still worried about D-line. Norton would be a big boost there.

 

[Orange Studs]

I think Watson is all about Texas. Doubt we get him unless something has changed in the last week.

I'm just wondering how Pruitt is known as a closer. We struck out a lot at the end last year and let's face it, every assistant who has recruited at Bama, FSU, and UGA for the past decade has looked like a rock star on the recruiting trail....

I can guarantee you that whoever wins the Powerball and whoever won the Mega Billion definitely touched me inappropriately 20 years ago and I'm going to sue.......unless I win the Powerball of course.

I 'member that. My baby brother and I saw it all.

Pruitt said he is bringing in 25 that will play the right way. I will roll with him.

He had very little time to flip kids and show his plan for Tennessee football moving forward. With a year under his belt and proven growth of his team, it'll be a little easier to sell kids on our future.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

So who does Pruitt show the door to make room?

I like this list, but as I said above, I don’t believe we’re taking 2 receivers so take Brown out. Also, Jammie Robinson is more likely than Watson. I think Robinson is a Vol lock right now. Even tho Pappoe is a tough flip, if Auburn struggles down the stretch, we might have a chance as people will be calling for Gus’ job. I’ll keep Norton on here because Pruitt has clearly prioritized him, but I’m not sure how realistic it is. My list would look like this:
Payton
Gray
Wright
Jammie Robinson
Norton
Pass rusher yet to be named

 

[PowerT.]

What is the early signing date

 

[Probably_in_Class]

Anyone else feel like this would leave us too light on Dlinemen?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Anyone else feel like this would leave us too light on Dlinemen?

If we add Norton and another pass rusher we would have 7 in this class

I'm getting the 25 number from Pruitt. He said they'll bring in 25 more, so I'll go with 25.

 

[TGFHeupel16]

He had very little time to flip kids and show his plan for Tennessee football moving forward. With a year under his belt and proven growth of his team, it'll be a little easier to sell kids on our future.

Also, in his short time he still closed on JJ Peterson, Alontae Taylor, Bryce Thompson, Jeremy Banks, DWA, and other elite players who are already contributing as much as the Butch Jr’s and Sr’s left on the team.

I'm getting the 25 number from Pruitt. He said they'll bring in 25 more, so I'll go with 25.

Hubbs also has been pretty confident that Pruitt will find away to bring in 25. He has been saying this for months.

I don't think KW and Norton are realistic. I think Pappoe is on the very fringe of realistic. Would love to be wrong, but I don't see it happening.

agreed. But things could change with Pappoe if Gus gets the axe. Before last week people were calling for it pretty strongly.
