Which would be good for roughly what ranking?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Which would be good for roughly what ranking?

Last year would’ve been 5th, this year probably wouldn’t sniff it.

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Which would be good for roughly what ranking?

As of now, it would be 6th. We are currently 7th.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Which would be good for roughly what ranking?

Yes.

A lot of that class was fools gold, some highly rated legacy players, and others, appear to have bought stars by investing into all the right camps.

But yeah, he was in way over his head

Our best class in two decades imo, especially if we can land 3-4 of these blue chip guys we are in on here late. We've always recruited pretty well regardless of the product on the field but where we've been lacking over the years is those truly elite, top 100 prospects.

If you could bring in a similar haul in '27 with top 100 guys like DGG, Kesean Bowman and Cooper Witten you have the foundation for a championship caliber team.

People will see this and still ask where the talent fee money is going

 

[Jimmy Football]

Where is the talent fee money going?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Things remain quiet on Micah Smith and Amari Latimer with Miami sneaking around on Latimer. Smith does seem to be trending elsewhere.

Oh wow that’s a bummer on Smith. Thinking Illinois. Wonder if that has anything to do with Carr…

So funny how things can change in two weeks when you are deciding what to do with your final slots.

Wondering if Moe likely and Heard probably coming back made us feel better about only taking 3 OL?

Heard is probably coming back?

 

[Jackcrevol]

Heard is probably coming back?

'55/45, nope 50/50.'

-AP, legit on PC. No jokes.

[cncchris33]

AP said 51% chance, and then backed it to 50/50 on the pod. Said it was juat assumed he'd be gone, but now looking more likely that he may come back. Moe was 85% chance, IIRC.

 

[PowerT.]

Does Heard coming back complicate things on the oline? Sanders is ok playing RT another year?

You know better than us but on Thursday’s pod AP said it was about a 95% chance Moe comes back and 50/50 on Heard (when previous it was a forgone conclusion he was gone).

 

[EastTNVol95]

I personally don't think Heard has had a good enough year to get drafted very high...especially considering how bad his tape was from last season.

The question will be if we are willing to pay what he's looking for to stay in college another year imo.

 

[BbwVol]

Rumor was that Sanders was the highest paid recruit in his class. I'm sure he will be fine. haha

 

[PowerT.]

sources close to his recruitment believe the Vols are currently one of the favorites to land him.
