Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXIV

I believe they only rank the top 20, but figure every commit into the average star rating.

If so, that is still 3.71 if end up with 21.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

If we finish with Kongbo, Brown, Dickerson, Warrior, and Byrd, then this will be the highest rated class based on star average for CBJ.

2016 - 3.75 average
2015 - 3.69 average
2014 - 3.65 average

According to Rivals.

edited - they only rank the top 20

Either way that would still show that there's not a huge talent drop off in the 2016 class like we thought there might be.

That would be by far the best signing day finish I've really seen since following this stuff.

Even if we only get 3 of those guys, it's still pretty strong.

Ok. I'll check pornhub.

I found lots of booms on there. Still lookin tho

 

[BruinVol]

Are you sure that boom you heard wasn't Doug Atkins lowering " the boom " on a quarterback in heaven?

Sandwiched the QB with Reggie

Pencil them in for the college football playoff?? Rucker is such a troll. That's how expectations get out of whack.

Edit: Okay I see Rucker just contributed to the post. He didn't write it. Makes sense because I didn't notice any spelling errors.

 

[UTMVol76]

Watching Finebaum: saw Stephen A Smiths rant on Peyton and the Super Bowl.

Been previously discussed, but Stephen A is an idiot. Nuff said.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

I still think it's insane to pencil anybody into a 4 team playoff. But whatever. Good press is cool. Maybe I'm just not used to it and don't know how to accept it.

Completely agree with ya

I wonder which of the playoff teams people would have penciled in last year at this time? Maybe Bama, but LSU and Auburn were getting a lot of hype.

Yeah. A&M too. Florida and Ole Miss were getting none and both were pretty close.

 

[Dust10]

OSU was also a stone cold lock.

 

[unioncityvol]

just_a_vol, 247's resident insider, says we will finish with Warrior, Byrd, Brown, and Kongbo. Says Dickerson isn't likely coming to Tennessee due to the depth in front of him.

****chyess

 

[jave36]

Ya they were by far the best odds, like 3 to 1 I think?

 

[SergeantVol]

Yup. Weak @ss schedule always helps. That and the pundits love some Big 10.

I think he just used it as a cute way to say that we're on a short list of playoff contenders.

The sentence before he says to pen us in as SEC east champs, which means he thinks we're a lock for that. And then continued the figure of speech with the "pencil us in comment" as saying that he thinks we make it but it's not a super confident prediction

Would take that finish with a big smile on my face. Most of us get this is a tougher decision for Dickerson despite wanting him to be a Vol.

 

[SmokinBob]

LVs are getting ready to fall out of the Top 25 for the first time in 561 straight weeks-- more than a decade! A team with 7 McDonalds All-Americans can't even suck it up and beat a few unranked teams with no All-Americans to keep the streak going. What a disgrace to Pat and all she built.

This makes me so sad and so frustrated. We were a dynasty - looked upon with awe by others and with pride by Vol Fans. Watching the Lady Vols was like watching no other women's basketball team. The moves, the shots, the teamwork, and the expectations of the coach. She expected them to play the game as basketball players, not girls playing at basketball; and she coached them that way. Our program is crashing and the man that can do something about it doesn't seem to even notice.

OK - back to football recruiting - I can't wait until February!

Who is in front of Dickerson that would make him think he would have trouble getting playing time? Thought this kid was good enough to come in and get immediate playing time at most programs?

Okay, I obviously know who all of our O line are, so you are saying every one of these kids is better than Dickerson now and long term? If so, then Hurd, Dobbs, and Kamara should rush for 1,000 each next season.
