We sure are recruiting the hell out of the JUCO ranks. Dooley knows how important next year is.

That's exactly right. If everything falls into place with this class and the current roster gets healthy we could be in for a special 2012. :crossfingers:

I like what everyone has to say about Otis, it would be a great help to our DB's. With Lanier and Randolph getting better, I believe Otis could be a help right off the bat.

I hope B Moore shows what he can do next season.. He was hyped like crazy coming in.. Way more than Lanier was.

13 is the year if most everything goes smooth. 12 is just going to be mediocre(8-9 wins). Still too thin and/or inexperienced at too many spots. If Bray stays for 13 though we will be hell on wheels talented, and DEEP on Offense and Defense. The only thing is, being talented and deep in the SEC may only get you 10 wins. About 6 other teams will also be stacked. But I think our Offense in 13 has the potential to be one of the best UT has ever had. Here's to hoping lady luck smiles on us for a change.:crossfingers:

FWIW, Former Vol JJ McCleskey posts on VQ & he said this kid is the real deal & would step in & start from day 1.

Hey Jmoore, do you know when rivals will put out the new rankings update on JUCO's? I wonder if this kid will get bumped to a 4star?

I thought I saw Perroni tweet that he was updating them in a couple weeks, that was about 2-3 days ago.

IMO this guy & Sentimore need to be 4*s. Sentimore should be a top 5 JUCO player in the rankings.

"We've got a guy in the NFL right now with the 49ers, Tramaine Brock, and Otis reminds me a lot of him," head coach Steven Campbell said. "He's a bigger corner -- a good 6 foot, closer to 6 foot 1 -- about 192 lbs., somewhere in there. He's a big corner that can hit like a safety and runs extremely well."

Jacobs stepped in and started 11 games for the Bulldogs as a true freshman in 2010, easily leading the team with 13 pass break-ups (the second-nearest defender managed 4). He also intercepted a pass.

"He breaks on the ball well, has real good ball skills, real good hips, excellent feet and great top end speed," Campbell said of Jacobs. "If someone gets behind him he has the speed where he can catch up quick and make up for whatever mistake he made."

Jacobs, who is originally from Covington, La., also racked up 616 yards in kick and punt returns during his first season at MSGCCC.

"He's a definite weapon in the return game," Campbell said.

- Rivals quotes from Jacobs JUCO coach. These were from back in May. He also said in the article that Otis's grades were good and that he expected a big season out of him.

JJ mcclesky. I think i Sat by his parents when I was a kid and my dad took me down to the plains when we played and tied auburn. Don't remember the yr. I guess maybe late eighties/early nineties? I think I cried when we tied. Have always cared maybe a little too much. If there is such a thing

Oh great, we have to rely on Perroni for an update? He'll probably downgrade everyone to 2stars and call them fat.

What's up with Rival's having this guy listed as a "solid verbal" to TA&M?

He committed to aTm last summer. When Sherman was let go he said he would look at his options. Looks like Rivals hasn't changed his profile b/c he doesn't have another visit date set yet to change him from Solid Verbal to Soft Verbal.
