New Rivals article up on Malik Stokes, younger brother of Vol commit Je'Ron Stokes...He picked up an official offer from Tennessee at last weekend's camp in Knoxville.

He's a qb, class of 2010, and says the Vols are his leader. He's getting a lot of early interest from Penn St., Illinois, Clemson, Florida, and FSU.

Not until next year, but with offers like that you would assume he is a 4 star.

guessing so

I don't see how he wouldn't want to play pitch and catch with his brother here at UT.

He's a 1 star recruit that UT just had to have as early as possible. The program is in complete decline and is headed for the apocalypse.

In all honesty, he is the second coming of Donovan McNabb, but will have his 1 star talent wasted at Quinnipiac University because all D1 coaches look at
F!@#$% stars before they even sniff the air within 50 miles of his aura.

#$^% the stars. If the kid can play at D1 level, then sign him and develop him.

Contrary to other reports, Al Wilson was a 2* S coming out of HS.

That experienced really sucked, didn't it?

He was actually the #4 fullback coming out of HS. You might be thinking of Ryan Karl(how you mix the two up I don't know) who was a 2* safety out of HS.

Considering I followed the recuiting game before it was "cool" to do so, I know I'm not mistaken (regardless of what the archives say now). Wilson was ranked as a safety coming out of HS, and was still considered (to the public) as a S when he got to campus. The coaching staff always knew he was going to be a LB.

Just sick and tired of all the rookies and negaters berating the "Stars" system and its relevance to our FB program.

My favorite(and usually most productive) players at UT have been "less than" top talent in HS (re: less than 4 stars).

You're right. Rivals had him as a top 9 SS. My bad, I was looking at LWSVols signing classes since 1966 and Lemming listed him as #4 FB and rivals had him as SS.

vols_are_champs · 06-19-2008, 11:28 PM

so he is not a 4 star?
a onesie?

Lemming is an idiot.

The other stuff I was writing... nevermind. It's not worth the time.
