'17 TN RB Ty Chandler (UT signee)

[Kristy*]

Look I know it's a touchy subject but it's a damn message board... I do, however, think calling out specific players and ragging on them is wrong. But we gotta accept that we will have to part ways with some of our current commits to get better ones, just like almost all top tier programs.

Good post.

I've seen my calculations. I haven't seen yours yet.

My brain is my calculations!

2 five stars, who are we getting?

3 four stars. Lets start with your 5.

Good post.

Sign of the end times IMO

Boom.. congrats Mr Chandler on becoming a vol!!

And on the subject of where our class ends up, does anyone not beleive as I do that several of our current commits will get bumps in their ratings? HS football had just started and we all know that it's very possible that several will make upward moves in rankings. CBJ has had a few do it the last 2 years.

I do think we will lose a few or tell some to look around.. but not more than 3 -5.

I will need some time to take a look at my recruiting thread to see who we can get. I don't have time for that tonight. I will post back with it for you tomorrow afternoon sometime though.

I don't think any of our commits got a star bump last year after committing.

We will have to check that to make sure though.

 

[volunteerfan]

Boom!! GBO!!!

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

A couple may have got a few % points bump, but not enough to gain a star on the composite. At least I don't think so.

I promise I will post back tomorrow who we could get that would get us into a top 10 signing class for 2017. Thanks!

Just for fun I tried a bit bigger finish.

We add Smith, Wade, Akers, Harris, and flip Eze. Drop 3 3* and the K blue shirts. Know where we end up?

262.12 points which would be good for 13th.

 

[Glitch]

I'll let you do that! BTW, I was kidding in the Tee Higgins thread a while back about saying that I was begging him on a phone call to come back to UT. People went nuts on me.

They called me weird, crazy, a baby, & whatever else name you want to bring up. :wink: It got real crazy for a while from that thread all towards me alone.

We will have a few current 3 stars upgraded to 4

Possibly. I just don't like to bank on it till it happens. Like last year, it didn't.

We have more 3 stars that could potentially move up compared to last year too though. Statistically more likely I guess

Henderson Cotman Labruzza Bumphus will get bumps. Are already 4 stars on some sites

True. Crosby, Cotman, Bembry, Labruzza, and Lawson are all rated 89. That's as close as you can get to being a four star. We have a few more rated 88. I'm not worried either way.

I did this several weeks ago, figured I would do it again for those curious. On August 13, 2015 we had 15 commits and ranked 15th nationally on 247. Note that all recruit star ratings are 247 composite and are at the time of August 13, 2015. Bolded players ultimately did not sign.


4* Jarrett Guarantano
4* Daniel Bituli
4* Marquill Osborne
4* Ryan Johnson
4* Chidi Okonya
3* Carlin Fils Aime
3* Jeff George
3* Devante Brooks
3* TaDarryl Marshall
3* Alexis Johnson
3* Tim Hart
3* Corey Henderson
3* Ja'Quain Blakely
3* Dorian Banks
3* Austin Pope

According to Cat, of our 6 3* commits at this time last year that we signed, 2 were bumped to 4*. That's 33%. Not too shabby.

We've got 7 guys that are 4* on at least 1 site, some multiple. And Fant could get a bump if he balls out after coming back from injury. The trolls are going to be disappointed when this ends up being a good class.

Yes. A part of the fan base is going to be so disappointed that UT finishes with a good class. That makes perfect sense.

"Lol" and reacting with giddiness over bad news makes absolutely no sense for a Vol fan either.
Yet, I witness this on a regular basis. Go figure.
