It is astonishing the recruiting CJP is doing considering he came in late and on the heels of the worst season in UT history. Granted, the man won National Recruiter of the Year 2x but still.....Dang if he cant sell some cornbread!

And unlike Butch, he is not getting handy legacies or easy in-states, Pruitt is pulling these from the jaws of real competition.

Darn Skippy, makes me that much more excited about the really big fish that Pruitt is trying to real in to finish this class.

D4H, that you?

Uh, what?

I can't wait to start getting those elite CBs on Rocky Top. It's been too long.

 

[HalfullVol]

Can we please get a cornbread?

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread
is the BEST !!

 

[dduncan4163]

This is more than regular cornbread. I dare say it's

 

[catss350]

Shaping out to be a really good class. Especially after last season. CJP and staff putting in some serious work! GBO!

 

[dduncan4163]

Could end up being the best DB class we've ever had on paper.

 

[jeff1vol]

Yep. When Tennessee is at it's best, the teams are full of Georgia players, North Carolina players, some West Virginia players, etc along with some select players from in state.

I would throw VA in there as well. Va Beach/Hampton Roads area has been VERY good to UT over the years!

This dude arrives angry and leaves wanting more. He'll knock the taste out of your mouth. I'm not normally a "rah rah" recruit kinda guy....but I have to admit this defense, if all of them sign, is going to be scary good.

Hopefully Tennessee has found another Eric Berry

 

[VolsnRavens]

I havent seen him post in awhile. He must be working on his preseason Manifesto and then tell us how smart he is.

I think he changed his screen name. Look for C4H or J4H.

I wonder how many of these safeties will be converted to Cornerback?

Bigly news! Yuuge! My final wish list is Bogle, Crouch, Wright, Dean, Hill and Curry.

I wonder how many of these safeties will be converted by Cornbread?

Good cornbread has magical powers

I'd love to see one of those recruits go Dale Carter on the SEC

Good question

Link: Four-star safety Jaylen McCollough commits to Tennessee, wants to take Vols 'back to the top'

 

[jakez4ut]

I wonder how many of these safeties will be converted to Cornerback?

honeslty, i don't think any will be converted to a true CB. we have two tru CB's and two Safeties committed. we will need safeties with TKjr, micha graduating and possibly Warrior going earl to the NFL. so i think Mcollough and Harris were both recruited to be in place for depth there. and Fields and Burrell will stay at CB. speculation mostly, but reading the tea leaves on the roster, i think that's how to plays out. plush i dont' think mcollough is fast enough to play CB. he's a center fielder, and could probably play that Star position.

we're still recruiting guys like HIll, Bush and Hampton at Corner as well. i think an easier transition would be for one of those guys to go to safety when they got here. but we'll see.

Sorry for the redundant post. I scanned the board and did not see the earlier post.

I said from the start that this coaching staff is one of the best if not the best staffs in College Football. That is how we are getting all these recruits. Jeremy is going to play the young guys. He knows how to build a team and is starting with the D which will show the fans improvement immediately and allow JP to recruit even better when the recruits see JP playing the freshmen players.
