Final Spot Speculation

[BigOrangeLoyalist]

We've reached 29/30 verbal commitments. I don't want to speculate on who might decommit or who might not make it academically. I know there will be some changes til NSD for whatever reason, and I know that certain players may be asked to look elsewhere or greyshirted. Being said, if we end up with these same 29 commits all the way through NSD, who do you all think the final spot goes to? There are a lot of other names on the board that we lead or are 'up there' for: Reed, Lamin, Malone, Mosley, Jakob Johnson, Rollins, Scott, Thomas, Jackson, Garrett, Sharpe, Gennessy, Williams... the list goes on. If you had to pick ONE more, based on need/want, who would it be? Similarly, who do you think it WILL be?

For me:
Want/Need: Adoree Jackson
Will be: Malone

 

[BurninOrange]

Their will be more room for more than Jackson and Malone. But if I had to pick I would say Malone

 

[big orange fever]

Lose 2, finish with Mosley, Reed, and Malone.

SMH ... I know. Please read my post.

Gotcha. Sorry for just skimming the post

 

[EricberryFAN]

Malone pleasee!

 

[Toujours Pret]

Garry Shandling

 

[It's Gr8 2 B a V]

would like Garrett

 

[buffaloblue]

Reed or Lamin.

I think we close with Mosely, Reed, Lamin, Garrett or Jackson, and Malone though.

 

[RICK0380]

I know we are talented at WR but if I had to just pick one I would want Malone due to the fact that we would have the in state guys wrapped up then with the exception of Bars. So Malone for me

We've spent the last 9 months on VN asking "who is the next to commit". Now we start to look for "who will decommit to make room for the super stars." Great position to be in.

 

[BhamVol14]

We have more than 1 spot, dews greyshirt, but I think its Reed and Mosley.

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

Need: Lamin/Reed

Want: Lamin/Reed

Finish with Reed and Malone takes Dews spot as he passes on the GS option.

 

[SmokeyX]

If the current commits were all locked in on NSD, I think the final spot would go to a JUCO DT.

So, Lamin/Reed

There are players still lining up considering the Vols... David Sharpe, Clifton Garrett, Josh Malone, Charles Mosley, Eric Lauderdale, Jarran Reed, Greg Mclisse, Lance McDowell,....The list goes on...

So who decommits or better yet, who do we not accept?

McLisse is number 436 on the list to get in.
We will have more than on commit , the numbers game will work out. plus, Dallas quit and transfers are a guarantee, doesn't that help?

28 of the 29 currently committed end up Vols IMO.

 

[Biopsyman]

Maybe Peter North, but that is a long shot

You think McLisse is that high on our board?

 

[NapTownVol9]

Nah, probably not lol. First number that came to my mind. He just never should have been included on that other posters list. We aren't going for that guy, That's a Dooley number one kind of guy

Greg Mclisse...I wish we could clone him, so we could reject him 5x as much

Now, I do disagree with this. Although he's not UT/SEC caliber, I think he loves UT and wishes he could play here. If he just had the talent of Clifton Garrett with the desire and motivation that he has now, he'd be a hell of an asset.

Sounds like a story shared by a lot of Austin Peay bound recruits

I don't think they ask medley to grey shirt. With Palardy leaving, we need another kicker to come in.

Do we even have another place kicker besides Broadus who has kicked in a game?
