'17 VA DE Elijah Conliffe (Florida commit)

[Bassmaster_Vol]

This is great news for Tennessee. If Alabama is out of the mix, I really like where we sit right now with Conliffe. My understanding is there isn't much optimism from the Florida side.

Worry about Penn State with Franklin having that last in home

Gators/sec country has a story on UF pitching playing time to Conliffe. Doesn't sound like he is sold, however. You guys may be in good shape.

 

[Ancient Reptile]

Story says he will visit Louisville???

 

[Catbone]

We can not miss this guy.

 

[shepDOG]

Nut cutting time.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Yeah...we desperately need another DT to go along with Crosby

Bennett and Butler. Would love to add Conliffe also tho

 

[CAVPUT]

Get this guy and call it a wrap on the class.

 

[JRVOL11]

Should we fear his Louisville visit ?

Should we fear his Louisville visit ?

I don't know. If a kid wants to go to Louisville I guess they go, but I definitely think Knoxville is a better city and playing in the SEC is big boy football. So that's Tennessee - 2 Louisville - 0. I truly think Tennessee has more to offer Conliffe.

Louisville has been doing well recently, but look what they accomplished even with a Heisman winning QB. He can come to Tennessee and put his name amongst legends. He can play in a coliseum, with the best fan base in college athletics, and with the best facilities and resources in sports.

Don't do this to me Ron. I want to get excited and you know what happens to recruits when we start getting excited about them. :crossfingers:

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Callahan thinks it's between Florida and us with PSU on the outside looking in

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

Id obviously love to get Ray, but if Conliffe is all we get I'm good really

.@RyanCallahan247 says to keep an eye on Elijah Conliffe down the stretch for the Vols. Tight-lipped recruitment, but Vols have a shot.

If Butch manages to pull off Conliffe and Ray this might be the best defensive class we've seen in a long time. Potential major difference makers at all 3 levels.

houston kress lol

way to go out on a limb

He's kind of a joke...

 

[Orange&White]

I hope Conliffe and Ray are talking amongst themselves and choose Tennessee so they can be a dominant duo together.

 

[Ron Swanson]

I think if we land Ray, Coniffe ends up at Bama.

 

[Rishvol]

I think if we land Ray, Coniffe ends up at Bama.

I hope we get both because we need Conliffe for DT

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

They'll make room for both of both want to come

 

[Ron Swanson]

I hope we get both because we need Conliffe for DT

I do too. I just think if Bama loses Ray they'll take Conliffe and he's waiting for that opportunity.

 

[NochNoch]

Think Bama would have to get told no by more than just Ray for Conliffe to pop back up on their radar, probably take at least one more.
