As much as the Vols are pursuing OT Drew Richmond, the class will not be incomplete without him. Jack Jones now rated higher on @247Sports.

We need 3 OT lol. But Ya jack is good. Need at the very least one more really good one.

lol we cant beat muschamp at florida. Freeze would beat us by 60 with florida talent. if i coached florida and punted the ball on first down every time we would get 3 safetys and lose like 6-3. We just cant beat florida, fulmer did it like 3 times in his entire tenure and everyone came by a last second field goal, even against zook.

I understand and it is sad, even UT struggled to beat bammer few times when they were losing. Hope all good coaches get out of sec so Vols can be good again........nah Butch needs to kick butt when he gets real sec ballers in here. Ain't scared of no freeze or no saban. That's my attitude no matter what. Need warriors on the Hill

Georgia struggled to beat us the last 3 years and two of them, we had losing records. Just happens that way. There is a fine line in the SEC. Butch is hoarding talent.

Beats me. We didn't recruit any good enough HS OT last year or the year before apparently. Gotta make up ground now.

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

Who else is available?

Not much at this point IMO. Any possibilities now would be someone just popping up or likely a reach. There are a few OT's listed on 247 with UT offers but probably not really in play as IMO they were just window dressing type offers and probably not committable. The Herr kid from Maryland would maybe be one to look at, but I doubt it.

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

247 has a story posted talking about Richmond being at the Ravenwood game this past weekend to see Van Jefferson play. Apparently they are friends. Van says that Drew is trying to recruit him to Ole Miss.

Even more IMO that says the "rumors" that DR was on a UT visit and recruiting for Ole Miss may be a reasonable assumption.

Either way I'd think closing the door on DR flipping to UT is about 100%.

@bartonsimmons: #UGA commit Van Jefferson wants to visit #OleMiss. Why? b/c @TheDream_75 is a tenacious recruiter. More here: Van Jefferson still hoping to take visits

It seems like he would be hard to flip.

Alright, I'm officially done with Richmond.

 

[RSATURDAY]

Yay! One less thread I have to keep up with. He really loves ole miss, and has shown he wants his friends looking at UT to come to ole miss. My closure.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Just move on from this guy.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I hope he doesn't come back for an official.

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

I hope he doesn't come back for an official.

I'd hope the UT coaches are smarter than that. Hard to say though as IMO they should have turned their focus elsewhere OT recruiting months ago.

 

[Face]

Alright, I'm officially done with Richmond.

I'm starting to really develop some animosity towards ole miss

We aren't that good at recruiting the Memphis area in football. Basketball a different story.

 

[NormalVol]

If he comes back for an OV make sure he's the only recruit there

 

[SaguaroVols]

We don't need to recruit Drew. We need to work on his mama. She's the key player in his recruitment. Make sure she comes.

I know Butch is a great recruiter but I do not think Mrs. Jones would like him going that far.

 

[Biopsyman]

Bye

 

[Hoghater]

I know Butch is a great recruiter but I do not think Mrs. Jones would like him going that far.

Mr. Richmond probably wouldn't either.

 

[Nashvegas31]

All these people talk about playing with Richmond yet most if not all are leaning toward TN.....

 

[VolFanNC09]

The big thing with him will be if Freeze goes to Florida, then I think he ends up at UT. I can't see him sticking with Ole Miss then.

Putting aside the relative mediocrity of its football program, I don't know why any black kid would be interested in going to "Ole Miss" given its ugly history and ongoing problems with racism.

 

[Vol8188]

Anyone wanting to give up on this kid is insane.

Because as soon as Freeze leaves, he will be a vol.
