How many can we sign

[bobbyutvol]

Wondering how many can we sign in this recruiting class. Go Vols.

Probably around a full 25

25 3 stars

 

[Special Ed]

All of 'em.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

12 seniors (including Stocstill since I believe hes on scholarship now?), probably lose Hurd, Kamara and Barnett to the draft. So that's 15.

Some guys who lost their scholarships or who are transferring;

Vincent Perry
Neiko Creamer
Tommy Townsend
Joe Young (Medical Scholarship)
Ray Raulerson
Dontavius Blair

21 in total so far but I think we'll see more cuts to come. 23-26 is a pretty realistic number I think, especially given the amount of attrition we've seen under Butch in his first 3 seasons.

You've done it now. Here comes CrunchyLeb!

 

[Volunteer forever]

Yeah Leb was always "Crunching" the numbers!

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

How many?

Hopefully more of the instate type.

When it comes to recruiting Butch is the honey badger and when it comes to numbers "he don't care"

I know it's early, but could someone Stateside come up with a "top remaining targets" list for the remaining 7 or so spots we have left? Thanks! :hi:

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Add Paul Bain to the list of those declaring early next year!

One of mine would be AJ Terrell (DB), but I haven't heard a single word about him on VN. He's #8 overall on Rivals, from Georgia (ATL) & has NO interest in Bama or OSU!

I put the following list together the other day so maybe it will help you: http://www.volnation.com/forum/tennessee-vols-recruiting/257560-football-recruitment-list.html

Sorry if this is already a thread. I didn't see it.

What is the approximate total number of commits UT can take for this class?

The Vols are up to 20. It wouldn't seem they can take many more without starting to cull.

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

The services seem to think 25. Not sure if the addition of Lewis to 2016 impacts that 25 number. I believe someone said to take 25 we'll need to see 6-7 or so leave early or be processed.

Does this include the recent departings of Raulerson & Blair?

I believe the 25 was mentioned after, but I'm not sure. Blair being a SR doesn't really matter anyway.

So, that means we still have 4-5 to sign then?

At least. Around Oct/Nov/Dec the current commits usually get quite the shakeup. Or at least it's been that way every year to this point.

Yeah, it's according on how many more leave the program if any.

 

[Catbone]

There's going to be several current commits that won't end up here

History says you're right.

 

[bignewt]

and that's okay.

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

The staff has made it work.

Curious to see how it unfolds this year. Lots of fans thinking of the 21 commits, could be ALOT of movement. This years recruiting has certainly had a different feel to it. Maybe missing a few big time vocal lead recruit types is causing that. Might just be the commits waiting to see what happens next. I could absolutely understand some being reluctant to be vocal about UT when they may not be there come signing day.
