[SmokinBob]

Yay Freak - thank you for the updated OP! 😘

 

[JohnD13]

So how many spots do we have open for February signing day?

[Leavertons Tackle]

Is this an educated guess or wish list?

More of a wish list, but somewhat realistic....

I'm good with it.

So we finish this thing up with:

1. Peterson, LB
2. Copeland, WR
3. Griffin, CB
4. Walker, LB
5. Miller, DE
6. Valentin, OG
7. Becton, DL
8. Flemister, RB/CB
9. Beal, TE/OLB
10. Hall, S
11. Smith, CB


That makes for an impressive haul, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

I think UT gets at least 5 of these kids. I'm hoping JJ, Quay, Nikko, Griffin and Copeland are the 5

 

[508mikey]

was wondering which Vols recruits will be in the Army All Star game ( also any unsigned targets )

Greg Emerson and JJ Peterson

 

[volmark]

Sorry if this is dumb question but was jordan allen recruited to play linebacker?

 

[Vol737]

Sorry if this is dumb question but was jordan allen recruited to play linebacker?

I really don't know for sure, but at 6-5, I'm wondering if they plan on putting some weight on him and taking a look at him as either/or DT/DE.

9. Beal, TE/OLB
10. Hall, S
11. Smith, CB


That makes for an impressive haul, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

If we come away with half of this list (already got JJ) plus some other solid 3 stars, we should be a lock for a top 10 class.

This is an awesome thread. I believe it include links to targeted recruits at one time. Anyone able and willing to add that to the OP? I would really appreciate it. Thanks and Go Vols!

No way he’s a DT. Possibly at DE, but I’m pretty sure he’s a 3-4 OLB all the way.

Armchair analysis:

1. Peterson, LB - Wow! Great job by CJP and Co.

2. Copeland, WR - final 2 OVs are Alabama & UF, our chances are probably slim.

3. Griffin, CB - OV to USC this weekend, we’ll know more very soon.

4. Walker, LB - if we don’t flip him during his OV this weekend, it won’t happen. Final OVs are Georgia, Auburn. Florida.

5. Miller, DE - Chances are probably slim. We need to “wow” him on his OV. Once Rodney Garner has an in-state kid, it’s tough to flip him.

6. Valentin, OG - like our chances.

7. Becton, DL - cut lose by Georgia. Would bet we sign him.

8. Flemister, RB/CB - like our chances.

9. Beal, TE/OLB - all depends on how much “love” LSU shows him. If they back off, he’s ours.

10. Hall, S - right now we are his last scheduled OV. If that holds, we have a decent shot.

11. Smith, CB - trending our way.

I think the Miller in that list is Coynis Miller.

 

[HSTVol]

I think the Miller in that list is Coynis Miller.

Thanks. I’ll update. As if anyone cares about my opinion, lol.

 

[Sleegro]

Thanks. I’ll update. As if anyone cares about my opinion, lol.

I had already placed multiple parlay bets based on yer opinion and now I think I will probably lose all my money because you said the wrong player.

 

[Glitch]

Thanks. I’ll update. As if anyone cares about my opinion, lol.

Looks like Matthew Flint is no longer committed.

[orangeblood]

I think UT gets at least 5 of these kids. I'm hoping JJ, Quay, Nikko, Griffin and Copeland are the 5

Going with 16 commitments (no Litaker or Grant), I am guessing of these categories:

LB if we get Quay Walker
DE Mincy, Williams,Beal, or Garland
2 defensive backs out of Smith, Palmer, Griffith, Campbell, Stuart, Flowers
NT out of Ogbonnia, Silvera or Jordan Miller
Skill player- Copeland, Harrison, Porter, or Thompson; or Corbin or Grant

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

D’Andre Litaker decommited now.
