Would it have been easier to list the players we are not interested in?

Would be epic to knock Ohio State's number down to 4. :)

I've been a little out of pocket lately (You're welcome recruiting forum). Are we in on any individuals who plan to announce their commitment at the opening?

Donnie Corley was supposed to announce at the Opening but he changed his mind. Good news for us.

With both Dobbs and Guarantano showing out at The Opening, I don't see how we wouldn't land at least a couple of top WR commitments from this group. Between Davis, Swain, Corley, and Hardman...these kids have to see the potential of our offense to be ridiculously explosive.

PER 247Sports about Elite 11
Counselor – Tennessee's Josh Dobbs
Projection – Tennessee commit Jarrett Guarantano
Sure there's some convenience to this comparison, but there's something to it. Both Dobbs and Guarantano possess a long, wiry frame. Both of these guys are still skinny but they're strong and explosive athletically. When they move around in and out of the pocket, there's a clear similarity. Even throwing the ball though, we see a lot of Dobbs in Guarantano. The delivery is similar as is the pace and execution. The two have also hit it off this week working together and it looks like Guarantano will be an anxious understudy to the quickly emerging Tennessee leader.

I'm sure he's very fast and has some hops, but those numbers are so inflated out there.

2. Jarrett Guarantano, Bergen Catholic (N.J.) — verbally committed to Tennessee
How good is Guarantano? "He's almost too talented," Dilfer said. Essentially, Guarantano can make every throw in the book — and do so with unmatched speed and power – but needs to spend more time working on his touch. "Layering," basically, meaning the ability to put balls over the tops of defenders rather than relying on pure arm strength to defeat coverage. It's not a huge issue to have at this stage in his development. "He's got everything you could ever want," said Dilfer. I would bet on Guarantano eventually being named MVP of this event. Tennessee is getting a superb prospect.

Those numbers are legit.. My buddy ran
A 4.35 according to his sparq.. And ran a 4.33 multiple times at multiple other camps. Not inflated out there at all

The surface they are running on makes a difference compared to combine.
