id shut this class down now...and roll wiht 27 in 2020.

 

[Weezer]

and we probably will. just hope we get a 3 star middling talent from TN so the natives will be happy.

Remember 3 star middling talent from TN LB Patrick Willis?

Those guys just never pan out, do they?

 

[gorockytop98]

Just an absolute whiff by the staff. Good lord.

He’s a player at a position of need and he’s wanted by two other top SEC teams. He’s a good player. At a position of need. I’m not sure where the disconnect is here.

Once again, am I wrong?

They threw everything they had at a local kid and can't get him on campus. Not to mention you saved his spot and missed out on other prospects.

 

[Weezer]

He may pan out, he may not, but coaches want him and I trust they're better talent evaluators than anyone on VN.

You KNOW all this to be fact? How exactly? Oh yea, I forgot, you read here first on VolNation............

It remains to be seen how good he is, need? yes. necessity to our success? no.

Wut? I doubt we passed on anyone because we held a spot of Russell. If we did, please provide said list.

He wouldn’t have helped us in 2019. But in 2020 we will have JJP, Banks (if he can play it), and Crouch at ILB (if he plays there) so that just means LB will again be a massive need for the 2020 class

 

[jakez4ut]

Am I wrong?

yes.

 

[gorockytop98]

yes.

If you won't see this for what it is, idk what to tell you.

These guys aren't bad recruiters, but this is two years in a row that they've bungled the last few spots in a class.

Ok, you do realize how many LBs are on the roster right? You mentioned 3. There is this really cool thing called development. That and yes get some in 2020. Not a problem.

Yeah Russell or bust. Gotcha.

 

[gorockytop98]

It was HT, Russell or bust. And right now it looks like a bust. Still a weekend to change that, though.

 

[Johncarter53]

I’m not so sure Russell sees the field until he’s a jr/sr at any SEC school.

Exactly so pump the brakes on the doom and gloom.

I’m not worried about development. But no, we don’t have many Lb’s. That’s the point

Yesterday and into the evening went very well for the coaches. As of this morning, and up till now, the visit is still on. His family and him are planning to come to Knoxville still. I promise you, if anything changes, I will let you know.

Someone royally screwed up if this kid doesn’t want to OV all of a sudden.
