2014 Current Commits/Targets

[SportsBuzz]

With the legacy players and all of the in-state talent, really think we will have a great class in 14.

It won't be fair for Jones in his first full year recruiting cycle, but there are about 6 must have guys in this class...

Just my opinion (which ain't much) but the only must have guys instate next year are (Not counting Wharton)..
1.) Hurd
2.) Kelly Jr.
3.) Malone
4.) P. Wilson
5.) Gauldon
6.) Barrs

I think after that you have to see how you are looking as for as spots available and how those other 5 or 6 guys do during there senior season.

Those guys are IMO...

Cooperwood
Manning
Lenoir
Prather
Barrett
Ward
Baker

Hurd is going to be a tough pull!

My guess would be TK Jr or Dillon Bates.

Hey OCI, thanks for the work on putting this together . Out of these guys who are legacy kids and who do we legitimately have a good shot at? I know Hurd isn't a legacy but do we stand a chance at all going for him?

I can't find him listed in the rivals or 247 database.

I'm all for the legacy players but scholarships are limited and I don't want to hand out a scholarship to anyone just because there grandpa, dad or brother was a vol!

I know everyone is banking on the Berry twins but I'm expecting them to only be high 3-star guys possibly low 4-star. My reason being is it appears a lot of the top 2014 guys have already been ranked 4/5-stars and I don't think they have been rated yet.

Is Swafford considered part of this class?

The Berry's could be 2* and would still be takes. These kids are athletic and have some really good football genes in them. 3 year starters IMO

Swafford will be a part of the '14 class if he and UT follow through on the greyshirt.

I wasn't solely talking about Tennessee players...

Bars will not be a VOL IMO...


SN: Getting Wharton on board this early will pay dividends with in-state recruiting...

According to his twitter Neiko Creamer has committed

He was the one Vic Wharton was talking about

This kid looks huge... more like a TE, but if he can build some speed I'm all for him. Congrats bUTch on another recruit
