I have ordered the UT game and I am bored waiting on the rain delay. So, I am going to give my educated-expert opinion on what the recruiting class will end up looking like.
Already verballed:
ATH-Brent Vinson, 5 star
LB/DE-Gerald Williams, 4 star
OL-Darris Sawtelle, 4 star
QB-BJ Coleman, 4 star
RB-Daryl Vereen, 4 star
WR-Todd Campbell, 4 star
S/LB-DeShaun Barnes, 4 star
ATH-Art Evans, 4 star
CB-CJ Fleming, 4 star
ATH-Anthony Anderson, 3 star
FB-Kevin Cooper, 3 star
LB-Alonzo Winfield, 3 star
WR-Tyler Maples, 3 star
RB-Josh Hawkins, 3 star
Others to come:
ATH-Eric Berry, 5 star
DT-Marvin Austin, 5 star
LB-Chris Donald, 5 star
LB/DE-Chris Walker, 4 star
ATH/S-Harrison Smith, 4 star
RB-Lennon Creer, 4 star
OL-Matt Romine, 4 star
DT-Kaniela Tuipulotu, 4 star
DE-Rufus Williams, 3 star
DT-Donald Langley, 3 star
We take but does not qualify:
QB/ATH- Joe Chiasson
What is missing?
Not a whole lot. OL quality is not up to par, but we have some good young OL that should start to produce soon. We hope. This would be a Top 5 class. Is it optimistic? Yes. But is it ridiculous? No. I didnt include any of the "wishful thinking" recruits like Armando Allen, Caleb King, Joseph Barksdale, Joe McKnight, or any of those types of players. All these players have expressed serious interest in UT. Many have visited or set up visits with UT. The longest shot on here is most likely Marvin Austin, and he is a key ingredient of this class. Without him the class can still be very, very stong. But, with him it can be as good as any team in the country. Game if finally starting. Bring it on!
