Bradley now a 4 star

[Eastknox865]

Our 5 star defensive end that hasn't played a down this year has been dropped to a 4 star.

Does this mean we get to renegotiate his NIL?

 

[DaddyChad]

It’s not surprising. If he commits to Georgia or Bama expect him to be bumped right back up. Bradley is great needs some S&C and he’s ready to roll.

I guess somebody felt threatened by our recruiting class ranking.

Years ago I heard the announcer for the San Francisco Giants say that their team looked really great on paper but, couldn't play a lick on the field. Therefore, he suggested that the Giants line the ballfield with paper.

Not interested nor could care less about what paper says about a player. Get'em on the field and we'll talk.

It don’t matter has no bearing on what he will or won’t become

Funny how a kid can commit to TN and lose a star. But, a kid commits to GA or BAMA and they gain at least one star. SMH Stars don't mean much to me. I want to see what he does on the field. I for one like our class so far.

 

[Vol8188]

Still top 32 on 247's rankings. If he stays there or higher he will end as a 5*

Happens every single year. We have a really good class.

Saban throws a hissy fit, suddenly UT recruiting slows down and TA&M's class is mid 40s this year. Just really odd how that happens. Almost like the Alabama Public Relations Department (aka the SEC Main Office) made a call or two to Tennessee, TA&M et al, and told them to cool it a bit.

Bradley is a very, very good player, and no amount of Saban pounding his tiny little fists will change that fact. Poor little feller.

To He$$ w the rankings. Go Vols! Sporting TV Vol gear @ Clearwater Beach! Go Vols!!

Hr shoulda played some downs then.

Did he not camp much this summer? Kids who don’t camp much drop in the rankings. Wouldn’t loose sleep over it. Still a very good player. Does seem like kids that sign with Bama,GA, tOSU & Clemson get rating bumps.

Maybe Ga, Bama, OSU have better evaluators and the rankings committees sees that their players should be higher ranked.

Let it play out on the field. If our 3 * players are better, then we should beat them.

Time for a gitshirt

No, it’s called being biased.

Saban throws a hissy fit everytime something doesn’t goes his way and the NCAA babies him for it.

247 is a bunch of nerds that think they know football skills. Why did they have him a 5 ️ To begin with? Hasn’t played a down this year and they based the ratings on his previous years play so makes no sense!! Clueless!

My point exactly how do you lose a star in the off-season

My point exactly how do you lose a star in the off-season

He could very easily get the star back this fall. Think we have a few 3* players that could get a bump to 4*. My concern is that with 11 3* players out of 18 commits we could drop out of top 10 ranking. Next 7 commits need to be 4* or better for a top 10 class. Do however trust the staffs talent evaluations.

Exactly. Why would you do evaluations when there is zero football being played? And like you said, what has changed that made him somehow less of a player?

I think you're missing the point. How do you lose a star after committing to Tennessee when no football is being played and its the dead period

 

[volbound1700]

He wasn't a 5 stars on Rivals all along anyways. I wouldn't worry much about it.

Rivals sucks

Not missing the point East. Just saying other recruits making a bigger splash because they are getting more exposure & signing with programs making the CFP. I agree in makes no sense losing a star after not playing a down. Think that is something we can agree on. Did not realize it was the dead period. See Bama & Clemson rising in rankings so thought programs were getting commits, but will take your work for it.?

He’s been good in camps.

Rivals kind of sucks since losing most of their scouts to other competitors.
