[Jackcrevol]

We...don’t have any...linebackers?

Or RB's

Good pitch. We are thin at both positions. A starting job or being in the playing rotation is definitely a possibility.

Can't wait till the long snapper hears he's also playing RB.
Seriously though, I wonder if Pruitt asks every recruit if they've played defense before.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Let’s get him

This reminds me... During the game last night when some players were in JJ's face and another was pushing JG down, I said get 'me, boys! We got 'em. And my dog jumped up and barked for 5 minutes.

Convinced we’re offering him as a RB.

UT made an offer to the run-stopper last week with position coach Kevin Sherrer leading the charge.

“He’s a cool guy. He said I could play early because they don’t have any linebackers.”

I nailed it again. Really got my finger on the pulse of things.

Guess we should always assume it is defense.

I have done some checking with sources since Desmond Tisdol left Knoxville, and based on what I have gathered, Tennessee has taken the lead. The Vols showed him a lot Saturday and he is working to schedule an OV. Kevin Sherrer is the lead recruiter, and he is very well liked/respected in South Georgia, where Tisdol is located. This has been a VERY interesting recruitment to track.

Just keeping it real... Auburn was the school he wanted to go to. He even tried to move forward with a commitment, but the LB position on the Plains had been filled. That was until recently when Trent Simpson decommitted. The day after that happened, Travis Williams of Auburn reached out to Tisdol, and his camp to start communication up again. Auburn faded some with that LB being full at one time.

South Carolina was always running No. 2, but about three weeks ago, the Gamecocks took over and a decision looked to be imminent. He was VERY close to pulling the trigger there too very recently. Then Tennessee jumps in, offers and gets Tisdol on campus. Go back to the top of this and you see what I am hearing NOW. This is very fluid, and as of last week, the plan was for Tisdol to wait it out and sign in February. Now, I am being told by someone VERY close to this that Tisdol is now LIKELY to sign in December.

Official visits could be KEY here. He is now in talks with Auburn, South Carolina and Tennessee about official visits. None have been scheduled yet. Another thing that doesn't hurt UT here is, they became the first school to offer Tisdol's teammate, Martez Thrower, a 2021 LB.

This still is likely to have a few twists and turns in it. If Auburn makes a true run, they could be tough to beat. He has had them VERY high on his list for a long time. Tennessee is now trending today though, so we will continue to track this.

Well, whoever gets that last visit gonna land him.

Would be a great finish except @ DPR. Maybe we can flip Morven Joseph from FSU now that Taggart is gone.

Would be a crazy good class, it fills all the needs going forward and brings at least 3-4 immediate starters with Washington, Green, Jones-Bell, and possibly Hyatt
