It's been a slow recruiting year, but how do you think Tennessee closes out this class (players/position) and where do you think it will end up ranked nationally?
20 has been the number most often discussed. I believe we get the typical minor roster changes with the final number being around 22. I think at least 2 OL (Dickerson and Tatum), 1 CB (Williams), 1 S (Warrior), and 1-2 DEs (Kongbo and ?). I'm still concerned about WR. The 2015 class is hopefully the last driven by critical holes in depth. 2017 should be the normal balanced class.
I'll take a stab:
QB
Jarrett Guarantano
RB
Carlin Fils-aime
WR
Jeff George
Corey Henderson
Brandon Johnson
TE
Austin Pope
OL
Ryan Johnson
Landon Dickerson
DL
Devante Brooks
Chidi Okonya
Mykelle McDaniel
Alexis Johnson
LB
Tim Hart
Daniel Bituli
Ja'Quain Blakely
DB
Marquill Osborne
DJ Henderson
Joejuan Williams
ATH
TaDarryl Marshall
I think we'll take 21. Zach Stewart will probably count towards this class as a grayshirt. Maybe 1 blueshirt to get it above that 20 number.
17 current commits, probably lose a couple of those and sign 5 or 6 more, IMO.
I'd say right around 15th is probably right. Optimistic we can close with some studs-
Landon Dickerson
Marcus Tatum
Nigel Warrior
Velus Jones
Derrick Brown
Jonathan Kongbo
Jordan Bonner
Jeffery Simmons
Jamarcus King
Would love to close with a couple of the current "long-shots"-
Mecole Hardman
Kyle Davis
EJ Price
Nigel Knott
