Other than Dale Jones, I can't think of anyone that might have outplayed their recruiting ranking more than Cedric Tillman?? Hats off to this young man!

Amazing what Hueple and company had done with player development in less than 1 year since arriving. If the staff can do this imagine what the staff will do when we start getting 4* and 5*’s regularly!

Chris White, Darrel Dickey, maybe, but not a huge amount

Never would have thought of Chris White, that's a good one from the past.

Love JJ. He played both offense and defense for UT, as well as the NFL.

 

[give_him 6]

My hat is off to him and every single young man in the locker room who decided not to take the easy way out and transfer. Well done young men.

Also not a single other SEC offer. I'm sure there was a mini meltdown on the board when we signed him.

LOL….funny because true

Didn’t have the star system back in his day, but he was a well regarded high school quarterback. Prolly at least a 3 star today.

David Douglas. Walk-on, ended up in NFL.

He was our consolation prize after we turned Jordan Taylor into a 4 star and he flipped to FSU. I don’t recall a meltdown…just typical VN star chasing apathy. Give @cHiZzLeVOL props…he saw something early.

Inky wasn’t very highly recruited neither was Immanuel Moseley.

Dug this up...pretty neat.

Tennessee signs Las Vegas wide receiver after late offer

Thanks for posting this. I remember reading the story at the time but never connected it to Tillman this season. Very cool.

Denarius Moore was considered a package deal to get a higher rated RB Lennon Creer. Big play receiver at UT with a couple 200 yd receiving games and then played for the Raiders for a few years.

Inky Johnson was a 2*, would have been All Pro.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Tillman was a nobody under Pruitt. Under Heupel he is one of the best WRs in the SEC.

Did they even do stars back then? Serious question.

I remember when Pearless Price was playing in Ohio.We were up there recruiting someone else and they nothiced Price being a pretty nice player and ended up signing him.I can still see him sailing down the side line against Fla. St.

Andy McCoullough went to the same HS as Peerless.
