That was the best plus 1 recruit i think we ever ended up with D Moe was a baller.A lot of time between now and NSD. If you look at the average stars and points, UT isn't #2 now. You can't go off total points at this juncture. UT has more points simply because the Vols have more commits.
To finish #2, UT probably needs 3-4 fewer 3* and finish the rest with 4/5* players.
Truth is... being #2 vs #9... won't assure the class is better. If a program is well-coached and stays in the top 10 or perhaps even 15 then they can compete and win at a high level. It helps if your coach can evaluate talent for himself and finds 3* guys who either are or can be developed into elite players.
I can remember when 3* Denarius Moore was the "baggage" UT took to get the 4* Lennon Creer.
Did you not read about the 3 star that pruitt recruited that just went pro in the first round. He has a reputation of spoting talent. Let's try and not get caught up in stars and where we rank in recruiting class and trust our coaches to field the best team that they believe can win.0%
Top 10 is attainable.
Too many 3 star commitments in comparison to the usual recruiting big dogs.
Cull the herd of 3 stars, and replace with 4’s, and we are on to something.

Too many 3* commits ....... zero chance.
Nice class, but based on numbers.
Right now we already have NINE 4*s (and one 5*)
You can be pretty sure that we will fill up with top talent in those few remaining slots and we are in on a number of other blue chips. The recent recruiting surge surely will help things to continue to lean our way.
Great movie!
I personally think the #2 ranking is because of the high number of commits. Great class so far and a top 10 (maybe top 5) is possible in the end. But not #2 after signing day. JMO
It is absolutely there because of the high number of commits - even so, it means we are that much more likely to fill up with blue chips. Again, not that Pruitt and staff are looking at stars, because I sincerely doubt it - but the guys that they already have are likely to bring even more top talent. Yes, there will be some 3*s who will get recruited over and maybe one or two who get stolen from us but it is a almost a sure thing that if we are this good this early, we are only going to get better.
Bottom line - it is a helluva lot easier to end up #2 if you are #2 now than it is if you are #20 now, even though it doesnt seem like the math works that way. If we end up top 5 though, I am ecstatic! especially seeing the quality of these guys and knowing that there are now coaches here who have long track records of actually developing NFL quality talent.
