'17 VA DE Ryan Thaxton (UT signee)

[MiramarVol]

Concliffe is still in play. Thax is a DE all the way.

 

[Nashvegas31]

If Thaxton is moving to DT, did we miss on Conliffe? Or is this guy staying at DE and Conliffe is still in play?

I'd say we need as many bodies inside as we can get right now to allow Kongbo and phillips time of the edge

It was my understanding that we had room for 26-27 guys this cycle. Malone leaving hurt, but opened up a spot. I also think, as others have said, we will have 2-4 blue shirts. That would put us around 30 commits.

Malone leaving did not open up a spot for this class. It helps get us under the 85 total limit, but no effect on the class itself. I didn't think we had space for more than 25, so anything over that would be BS/GS. So since Doug Mathews said up to 3 BS, I'd guess we take 28.

Thax needs to add about 20-30lbs to even play DE.

Get that boy on the peanut butter diet ASAP. Good pick up, haven't watched the film, but the guy has great measurables. How the heck is Butch going to fit all these kids in?

 

[Roustabout]

We can backcount one for sure. Any more than 26, I think we'll have a blueshirt or 2. I expect the kicker to blueshirt.

Gonna back count as an early enrollee for 2018, with a side of blue shirt.

Nice. A proxy boom. The Dutch Rudder of the VN Booms.

Dooleyesque recruit.

Tennessee beat out perennial powerhouses Army, Air Force, Coastal Carolina, Delaware, Rutgers, etc. for this recruit.

Butch Jones is playing chess while everybody else is playing football.

THIS is how you close strong.

While Thaxton doesn't have the best offer list, I trust that the coaches saw something in him that they like.

We had 3 open and 2 came in over the summer, leaving 1.

Where are you seeing we had three open?

By my numbers. I broke it down on here in the last 'Numbers' thread.

Who do you think you are? Leb?

 

[LibertyVol]

I watched his film. I think this is a good pick up. Has a lot of upside. Tall and rangy and could easily add weight.

 

[Kristy*]

Who do you think you are? Leb?

It was suggested when I first started posting. The traditional RF insult. . . I believe it was Butchna who was the first to give me a hard time.

IMO Butch is likely gone after this year. He could hand out a dozen blueshirts. Won't be his problem them counting to next years class.

I thought it was clever. It's good to know there is at least one other decent poster on here. :hi:
