CB to Alabama.

By a contributor for CatsPause. I'd take that with a grain of salt.

Lol I was worried for a second

 

[MiramarVol]

By him skipping Bama's OL/DL Camp last weekend to instead coming to OCD could be a telling sign.....

 

[JRVOL11]

I'm just worried that Jordan Davis is on him hard about going to Alabama.

 

[scvolfan7]

Callahan with a CB for the vols

 

[JRVOL11]

I wonder what Callahan has heard ?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Boom!!! Maybe its the other way around! Carvin is on Davis to join the Vols!

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I wonder what Callahan has heard ?

Callahan doesn't guess. He almost always makes his predictions after he's been told where the recruit is going

Wonder if anything is happening soon

Yup

Simonton said that the success of OCD would be seen "throughout the summer". I'm guessing so

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Just been hearing pretty consistently since his visit to Tennessee over the weekend that the Vols are in good shape right now. But it does sound like there's at least a chance he could be ready to make a decision within the next few weeks.

Did he say anything about Grant too ?

How in the hell is Carvin a low 85 3-star on 247? LOL Who in the world does the state rankings over there? Baffling. For what you want in an OL prospect that kid looks like a million bucks physically and he has every elite SEC offer you can get.

247 has not been doing a great job with this class. Their ratings for AT, Harris, carvin, and Adrian Martinez are just a few examples.

That is why I take these early rankings with a grain of salt. Watch, they will claim to re-evaluate all these kids after they receive all of these offers.

Then, they will say that they have watched their film and they are worthy of a rating increase.

Once you get past the elite prospects, you really just have to trust that the staff can evaluate talent. These recruiting site "scouts" are a joke.

Carvin's rating has to be the absolute worst on the network. There are almost zero flaws with his physical makeup. He doesn't look "sloppy" at all like several OL 247 has rated as 4*'s (Kinnard, Dirstine, etc). Offers from UGA, UF, Auburn, Bama, Tennessee and high priorities at that. That's all I need to know.

I agree AT and Martinez are both rated too low by them, but at least they are 4*'s. This one is totally bizarre.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Speaking of his rating

I believe it's been a few months since our analysts have gotten to take a hard look at him. Not sure he has been at any camps where our guys would've gotten a chance to see him in person this year. I think there's definitely a chance he could move up in the rankings in the coming months, especially if he has a good senior season.

Would secure a great OL class.

Speaking of his rating



Callahan

Yep, just what we've been saying. He hasn't paid the $$$ to be ranked higher.

 

[Montrell Hardy]

Speaking of his rating



Callahan

Kind of what I figured, he probably hasn't been evaluated since before his junior year because he got tagged with that 85 rating a long time ago, probably a year or more. It's just crazy they haven't bothered to re-evaluate since. Who does the state of TN rankings for them? Barton Simmons?

 

[Catbone]

Our OL has quickly turned from a nightmare with Dooley recruiting to what very well may be the strength of the team

I believe so. 247 trending down IMO. They don't break any news and are often behind on recruiting

And now we have a truly elite recruiter there, which is just huge. We seem to be in really good shape for both Wright (maybe battling OSU for him?) and Lampley in next year's class and Tucker and Mays in the '20 class.
