'17 class has 1 OL commit

[madbamahater]

2017 class has 1 verbal commitment for an offensive lineman. I believe Tennessee currently has 25 commitments. How many can Butch sign? Why the absolute ineptness of having or recruiting high quality lineman on the offensive side? I just simply don't get why he doesn't sign 4/5 a class......

 

[Biopsyman]

We are expecting 10 OL to commit by noon today

On a more serious note.....you can have all the "skill players" you want....but if you don't win the line of scrimmage you can't win anything.....

 

[csprig9]

It's October he'll get 4 or 5

 

[Kelley_VFL]

Trey Smith....

 

[Dreamsicle]

We have signed 12 OL in the last 3 recruiting cycles.

We have been saying that since Jones got here

Goes back to Doolittle. Had Kiffin not bolted for USC, the line of scrimmage at UT would've been priority and among the best in Nation

I don't know, I'm not Nostradamus but he has averaged 4 per year which is the standard you started with.

Chill, it's only october.

Is this serious? we are favorites for a 5 star, a 4 star and whatever the new offer is ranked.

5* Tackle Trey Smith, 4* Tackle/Guard TJ Moore, and 3* Star Tackle K'Rojhn Calbert all look very promising and we lead for at the moment.

Aaaaaand it's still October

Yeah, even last week nobody would have picked us to land Ignont. There will be new names that come up from now to signing day.

Why not wait until the class is finalized before questioning it? It will answer your own question in Feb..

Yea wouldn't that be great, an OL that's best in the nation with NCAA Violations that would be best in the nation.

Yeah if only Kiffin hadn't left.....streets would be paved with gold and trees would grow $20 bills instead of leaves.

 

[mrorange211]

By all accounts we took a really good o-line class last year, so I am not worried.

Assuming we weren't on probation with limited scholarships available.

 

[Voljlt]

Commitments mean nothing until the ink is dry in February. We've seen that too many times to our benefit and detriment. Let the recruiting cycle play out and don't stress. It'll all work out.

 

[badkarma]

Who needs a line when you have Wr's ?

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

We will take Locklear, Moore, Calbert, Smith

We used to have a cousin just like you whining about this kind of stuff every year at family reunions. When Granny died, the biggest argument was who got her frying pan that she hit him over the head with.
