5-star ATH Salesi Moa commits to the Vols!

[BruisedOrange]

New 5-star Tennessee commit had an incredible reason for picking the Vols

Earlier today, Tennessee pulled off arguably the biggest shocker of this recruiting cycle when they received a pledge from 5-star athlete Salesi Moa over Utah a

He's legit...thought for sure he'd be a UTE but welcome to the big leagues kid

You can't spell Utah without UT.

 

[CAVPUT]

Where does he project at UT? Slot?

That would be my guess. He's not afraid to go after and high point the ball in traffic. Very soft hands as well. I won't be shocked if he makes noise as a freshman.

I have wanted this kid for a while. He is a baller. I can't state enough just how good he is.

Most people dont understand how good the 2025 class is at WR for the VOLS...when we landed:

Smith
Jackson
Dodson

Last season, it was a GREAT class at WR in 2025. Didnt think we could match it but...

King
Bey
Moa

Might even be better. Those are 3 INCREDIBLE athletes. All 3 of them should play NFL ball. UGA, Bama, etc would kill for any of the 3. We are gonna be so loaded at WR its crazy.

Plus we landed the #1 QB in the nation, a couple of 5* Olinemen on at least 1 service, 2 LBs ranked 74th and 75th in the composite, good Dlinemen and DBs. This class is loaded. 10 bluechips, 6 players in the top 100.

Still think we land the #1 RB in the nation also in 5* Savion Hiter. He announces in 3 weeks. Current ranks:


Edit: this is the composite ranks. We have 5 players I believe that are ranked as a 5* on at least 1 service.

BM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SquirrelOrange3]

Another Big Orange BOOM!

 

[WiseOlVol]

Bodes well for us picking up Hiter over (cheaters) Michigan.

 

[vavolfan6]

Wow! Really impressed with the recent signing. When everyone thought this staff mailed it in for fall camp, we pick up our two highest recruits outside of Faizon

 

[DaddyChad]

Now get Hiter and Keyes and we're cooking with bacon grease WOOOOOOOOOO

Hiter is gonna be a Vol imo unless Ellison opens up the check book.

 

[tennesseeduke]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

[Dro]

Putting together the classes needed to be contenders. If we close on keys and hiter and faizon pans out we will be serious title threats in 26-28.

 

[SquirrelOrange3]

8 ballers ranked as Top 71 Studs:

Faizon Brandon: #1 (247sports)
Gabriel Osenda: #19 (247sports)
Salesi Moa: #35 (ESPN)
Joel Wyatt: #47 (247sports)
Tyreek King: #52 (ESPN)
JB Shabazz: #65 (rivals)
Brayden Rouse: #70 (247sports)
TJ White: #71 (rivals)

 

[SquirrelOrange3]

People better take note. This will be Heupel’s best recruiting class. Lots more coming.

Not only that but, in the NIL era, thousands of the hottest co-eds will be coming to Rocky Top to chase these wealthy Big Men on Campus.

[American_PitVol]

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

 

[stolitonic]

We must be paying very well now.

Nico leaving saved us $1.4 million so we have money that we thought was committed free to spend now. His NIL was $2.4 million while JAs is only for a million.

Guess $1.4 million will indeed buy you some very nice ancillary pieces.

 

[WiseOlVol]

Hiter is gonna be a Vol imo unless Ellison opens up the check book.

Haslam paid $270,000,000 for Watson. He won't be outbid by Ellison.

People who think the SEC's prestige doesn't help us in recruiting are morons. While we would probably win more games in another conference we wouldn't be able to attract as many high profile players. Great players want to play against other great players. That's why playing in the SEC is such a draw for them.

We're definitely building the foundations for a 2015-2018 Clemson type run with this recruiting class.

Yup, this is shaping up to be the best class we've had in over a decade. Heup is building an elite roster

We really are. We finally have quality depth across the board. I can't remember the last time that was the reality

 

[vegasvolfan]

Racking up those in-states everyone used to fret over not landing. This is a big get alone.

 

[LordBolton]

Naturally, when I looked this up on 247 it shows him with 4 stars. I imagine Faizon started with 7 stars, the best player in history, in order to get dropped to 5 by c9mingnto UT.

I’m not a recruiting guru by any means, but I find it odd that this is happening after Nico leaves. When we signed Nico, I assumed that tons of talent would flock to play with him. That didn’t happen.
