KKKLIP ART posted:So in the past day, UGA has had 2 comitments for the 2018 class. Some people were worried because there was a lack of star-power in this class, but considering the monster class the 2017 one was, this was always going to be a small class anyway. UGA fans attitude over what they "deserve" never ceases to amaze or make me laugh.

KKKLIP ART posted:Yeah it's pretty sad tbqh. Then again, message board fans for all teams are a special level of crazy, especially on pay sites There's also gotta be some correlation between the most obnoxious fans being ones that didn't go to the school. Maybe I saw it more because I lived in Atlanta for so long but I felt like the ones that were most vocal about them deserving a NC or whatever coach, etc. didn't go to the school. Most of the guys I knew that actually went to the school, and I'm not specifically talking about UGA, were pretty level headed.

Doronin posted:I've seen Gatewood play in person. On looks and physique alone, he reminds me of Josh Freeman, but more athletic. Problem is that he is very bad at QB. Back when he was still a sophomore, one of my friends who covers recruiting swore he was only getting hype/rankings on his measurables (which are impressive), but nothing to do with his actual skill. I've seen nothing to dispute that claim from 2+ years ago. No need to be redundant

5* OL and #1 in state/#2 overall OT Cade Mays officially decommits from Tennessee. The writing was on the wall for weeks but he just made it official. I would assume whoever comes in for Butch can get him back because he's been a Vol for a while and is a Knoxville native but this still hurts.

Crotch Bat posted:I saw UF's class, it's not remotely close to worth sticking with a bum coach for another year. Those classes have to be like top 3 nationally with potential program changers on it to me, at least for a school like UF. Even at a place that doesn't recruit well like VT it'd take something well inside the top 10 for me. This is why I'm okay getting rid of Butch at the cost of losing recruits. We have/had a good class so far and the only one so far that's irreplaceable is Cade Mays and he was a long time commit from Knoxville who would likely come back once a new coach is announced. Anyone else we have or would lose due to Butch leaving is replaceable.

Do you have to commit somewhere officially before sending your LOI? If not I guess he could still send his LOI in whenever he wants to without having to be committed somewhere. From what I remember he also said Dec. 24th-ish but at the very least before the All American game which is 1/6. I really hope we're not into January and Butch is still here/we don't know who the new coach is.

Scout is just garbage in general and has been for a long time. IMO 247 is easily the best site for individual team recruiting. But then I really only follow them in regards to SEC schools so it might be different for other conferences.

This is a new one. The #1 JUCO tight end tweeted this yesterday: https://twitter.com/TheRealYungDom/status/939185774473355270?s=17 He eclipsed 24k over night.

There's a bunch of croots visiting Knoxville this weekend but the one that really stands out because he has a great name is 3* QB Michael Penix. I hope he becomes the next Jim Bob Cooter so that I can go to a game and hear the entire stadium chanting his name PEEEEEEENIIIIIIIXXXXXX PEEEEEENIIIIIIIXXXXXXX Or the stadium takes turns playing the Penix game yelling PENIX gradually louder until the teacher hears them.

4* WR Alontae Taylor recommitted to UT this morning. I don't believe he was ever 100% gone and was just checking out his other options while we looked for a new coach, but it's good to have him back and a good start to Pruitt & team rebuilding the class. Pruitt, Friend and Fulmer are all going to visit 5* OT Cade Mays and his family today to try and get him back on board. This will probably be the last time they really try, though he's not an EE so there's plenty of time left to recruit him. Would be nice to have him back as well.

nate fisher posted:It is starting to look like Tennessee going to have to scramble for a QB this class. We lost Penix today, and Frost is recruiting Martinez hard. Still according to Penix the new staff wasn’t interested in him which gives me hope they have another QB they feel good about. We need a QB this class. Martinez flipped to Nebraska just now. The story is that they were told to move on and they’re shooting for Trevor Lawrence who already has an offer and was interested in UT originally because he’s a huge Peyton fan. Like there’s no way we get him but yeah we definitely need QBs.

There’s no possible way that a school let’s a 5* QB transfer to a divisional rival and someone they play every year. Bama and UGA never play each other so that made some bit of sense, plus with UGA having the major he wanted.
|
# ¿ Dec 14, 2017 03:47 |

I think in that case he could yeah, if he was okay with burning a year of eligibility. Though he may get this year back, but I havent followed that. Kamara did that moving from Bama to us. Ultimately both schools have to approve the transfer to wherever he’s going. They’re not going to approve transferring within division or conference and likely not anyone on their upcoming OOC schedule. Going the JUCO route is how kids get around that.

Real Name Grover posted:Yeah, thanks for Martinez I guess (now we can have "A-Magic" to go along with Taylor "T-Magic" Martinez" ). A bit wary of guys who sit out their senior year, but what do I know? I know next to nothing about the guy but he seems like a good pickup and I'm sure Frost can get him in a good place. Just wasn't a fit for the offense Helton runs I guess. I actually do appreciate when new coaches do that - let a kid know, "hey maybe you should look elsewhere, you're not a good fit for what we're doing here" early enough that he's got time to find somewhere else to go. Yeah, it's tanking our class but I'd rather have guys that fit than I square peg, round hole situation. See: Hurd, Jalen

Demon Of The Fall posted:The fact that Pruitt could feasibly pull in a Top 20 class is pretty amazing considering where this class was a few weeks ago. He's annouced that he's committing on Saturday. There's also this: http://www.rockytopinsider.com/2018/01/03/vols-contention-another-highly-rated-2018-linebacker/ quote:Tennessee is already in on one highly-rated outside linebacker in the 2018 class. Now it appears they may be in on a second one. tldr; Walker has a great relationship with Pruitt and Sherrer was his recruiter at UGA, so things look good for UT. If we land both of them that would be the #2 and #3 OLBs in the country.

Dude is faaaaast. Claims to be 4.43 40 but hasn’t been officially timed. His tape is wicked. Some of the catches he makes over the top of defenders is unreal. e: here’s the video https://www.hudl.com/video/3/5635071/5a15c30115f6331130aa1040

vyst posted:It's almost as if star ratings are arbitrary I mean, to a point sure. The difference between a 3 and 4 Star is probably negligible. But this kid is different. He wasn’t on anyone’s radar. He wasn’t attending camps and was largely focused on track instead of football. Last year he didn’t play much but this year he played and put up fantastic numbers and then recently started attending camps and people went “...oh!” Interest is starting to increase for him, but Tennessee made an offer before His rating jumped so that meant a lot to him. He’s said he’s gonna take a look at Auburn and Miami who have invited him for OVs. FSU has invited him but he doesn’t seem interested.

If we were closer to home I’d say it was all but guaranteed he likes the UT staff a lot but I dont think he wants to stray too far from home so he’s gonna go to USC.
