Desmond Williams - DB Commits

[lukeneyland]

Nice get we’ve done well with Juco guys. Keep em coming

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Pretty sure that development would have played a part in any players success. Would you rather be developing 5 star talent or 3 star talent?

Amen Tillman wasn’t considered elite talent but he is one heck of a receiver. GBO!

 

[Jax_Vol]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GVol1966]

I tend to use Nick Saban's ratings.

Oh I see, I didn’t know he put out rankings for all players for everyone. Or are you just on his private list of people that can see them?

 

[VolBallGuy]

Well stated. Better to have an excited average sorority girl than a frosty Victoria's Secret model for a girlfriend.

Gotta hit that defrost button.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Again, would you rather have our coaches trying to develop 3 star talent or 5 star talent?

I would rather have Heupel developing three star Hendon Hooker that Pruitt developing 4 star JG. That much I DO know. Chasing star counts instead of good fits is how you get Butch Jones’ classes

 

[BreatheUT]

First-hand experience?

Just the left hand or right hand.

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

This is a good prospect that fills a serious need.

BOOOOOMMMMM!!!!

WELCOME to Big Orange country young man!!!

VFL...GBO!!!

 

[Orange_Crush]

I think you're on to something. Nick Saban needs to quit recruiting the 5 stars and focus more on those way down the ladder. Yet when they boat race every year, you and others say it's only because they have more talent lol. How can we have it both ways?

Are the recruiting sites telling Saba who the 5 stars are, or are the Sabans of the world recognizing talent, and the recruiting sites rank accordingly?

You're seriously arguing that the ranking services direct Saban's recruiting efforts?

 

[Plano Vol]

Tell me the last "Elite Talent" Tennessee Recruited?

Then show me how that panned out...

I saw one we successfully recruited that might be counted as elite talent last Saturday night.........of course he was wearing a different uniform.

 

[FïreBall]

Last I heard, the NCAA had not notified UT that they were investigating. UT completed its investigation and sent the results and self-imposed penalties to the NCAA... but nothing since. Is there something going on now?

UT purged its program administration, fired its AD and coaching staff, pushed involved players out, and effective reduced its scholarships for this season by about 20. They've now said they aren't going to punish the players who remain with a bowl ban. Seems a pretty reasonable sacrifice, no?

That said, I don't think that stuff is playing much any more. I think this staff has found a guy they truly think can help them win. There are other guys out there including some portal CB's. They chose Williams.

I heard not long ago on one of the sports talk station mentioned that UT was also self imposing recruiting restrictions. Something to the effect of less are out recruiting, making calls or something of that nature..

 

[TGFHeupel16]

You're right the staff should focus on recruiting only 3 stars or below

/s

Stop being drama. We have a coach that can coach up the three stars to a higher degree than any of the 5 stars Pruitt recruited. Stop tripping star gazers! The 4 and 5 stars will probably start buying in the next year or so. If we keep progressing the program will sale itself. Don’t forget we’re one of the richest campuses in the country with top of the line facilities, and are campus that holds 100k plus, happens to be on the river! You can’t beat it. Go Vols

One with a funny name...kinda sounds like...

[Pride85]

He would be the only one so far this cycle...

So, in his first year in the full recruiting cycle, with all of the issues that are known FACTS from this year working against him; What is your minimal team ranking and average stars that you consider acceptable this year?

 

[DonDiego]

Ja, Mein Fuhrer, das ist ein großes BOOM!

Danke sehr!

To be honest, UT should be in the 15-20 ranking range. But I expect with more aggressive NIL opportunities, they should be within 12-16 IMHO. Recruits don't care about bowl bans and NCAA sanctions these days.

 

[tennesseeduke]

Junior-college CB commits to Vols, hoping to make early impact

Is this a Boom?

 

[RockyTop140]

It’s not concerning at all yet. Under investigation still. When that clears up in the future, if we’re still not pulling in much elite talent then the concern becomes warranted.

 

[KarnsTownVol]

Commits and immediately takes another visit. Why even commit?

[DougVol]

Glad we are getting commits, but it is concerning that the Vols cannot pull any elite talent.....

True. Can’t get a 4 star on campus. Meanwhile Georgia has 12 of em and 5 or 6 5stars. What gives?

Bramble was a freaky, scary dude that looked like he sniffed an 8ball of coke before that fight.

" have three years to play his final two seasons".
Does this make sense ?

Then show me how that panned out...

Well Trey Smith is starting his rookie year for the Chiefs and he was the #1 player in the country.
