Also should I be surprised that Zach Stewart isn't here? Didn't he show out in camp?

Ron has mentioned some high praise that he's received recently, he should be updated to a 4* on some sites soon, but I wouldn't expect him to crack this list until closer to signing day, if at all, jmo.

Thanks. Did not realize his brother played for Arky. Appreciate the info.
Yeah it's kind of confusing how he's labeled in the targets thread. I looked it up to be sure, I was right. Chris played at Arkansas and is a backup TE for the Buffalo Bills.

These are the rankings I care about the most. Not that I always agree with them, but when NSD rolls around, the ESPN team rankings are the most televised ones.

I see what you mean here, ESPN definitely has a lot to do with the perception of a teams recruiting class. Rivals may be the most historically valued, but ESPN dominates the coverage on NSD.

Regardless on if we agree with their rankings this year, Butch has again positioned us to pull a top class. This is where a player like Chuma would be huge for us to pull, position of need, a great player and borderline 5*.

IMO, I think we pull about 9 from the top 300 on the Offensive and Defensive line alone.

Conservatively I could see us landing 3 out of Settle/Shuttle/McKenzie/Johnson/Taylor at DT

3 out of Butcher/Phillips/DeBerry/Roseboro at DE

3 out of Chuma/Richmond/Jones/Harrell on the OL (Not to mention that I didn't see Austin Clark in the top 300 yet)

Butch is loading up in the trenches this year for sure.

Surprised that we never offered top TN prospects Donovan Sheffield and Jackson Harris. Sheffield committed to Vandy last month but it still surprises me. I guess we have to leave it to the coaches and trust they know what they are doing.

100%. I think these are the worst, but these rankings can go along way for perception of the program.
