Gotta be the bama commit jj finch?

If I had to call Latimer right now I would say Miami but we could still swing it in our direction. Going to be about the biggest bag. Weird that Ohio State just flipped a WR from us but won't pay Latimer.

By the way: I'm just piecing together the information I've been reading from people in the know. I'm not claiming to be in the know.

They had so much success in porthole lats year. Also just got a RB. May also feel good about DGG.

I feel like the most likely candidates would be Micah Smith or Dre Quinn.

AP said it was trending Vols for Quinn a couple weeks ago and then Chad Simmons reported he was closing in on a decision on Monday.

VQ said last week to expect a decision from Smith in the next week to 10 days.

Any of Quinn, Latimer, Finch or Micah Smith would be huge additions though. We desperately need some positive momentum after the flip of Bey.

I see us landing Smith, Latimer, and Carter.

 

[RandomUTfan]

I don't see us landing Quinn because our hope was to move him inside or on the line at least and he's wanting to be more of a LEO-type EDGE. I think we are about to land Kadin Fife on the 21st.

I see us landing Smith, Latimer, and Carter.

I would be fine with closing the class with these 3 and holding on to the current commitments

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

The addition of Legend Bey means the Buckeyes are likely out of the running for Georgia running back and Wisconsin commit Amari Latimer. Much like Smith, he is really low key and information is scarce.

The last remaining need is running back. Four-star Amari Latimer has been a top target the entire cycle. I think the Vols are picking up steam here. Miami is also in the mix for the Wisconsin commit. I did have a prediction for Ohio State to flip Latimer but I now give the edge to Tennessee and the Hurricanes.

Head to head with Ruiz and his seemingly unlimited bank account? Ugh….

Good call on that last sentence----insiders get their nads ripped off when their info doesn't pan out

 

[PowerT.]

I think Tennessee has a real shot at Latimer and Smith based on everything I’ve heard recently.

Latimer AND Smith? Yes please

Who is Smith?

 

[BbwVol]

Who is Smith?

Micah Smith

 

[RandomUTfan]

Callahan has been saying we have a shot with Latimer but never that we lead, but he also doesn't like to say that regardless of what he might know behind the scenes sometimes. Smith is Micah Smith the IOL. It also sounds good for the JUCO DL and the top 247 EDGE who looks to be a DE.

 

[PowerT.]

Wisconsin four-star running back commit Amari Latimer remains a major target as well. Tennessee is a front-runner down the stretch. Miami is also in play.

247:

"He returned to Tennessee on an official visit the weekend of Nov. 1 to attend the Vols' game against Oklahoma, making his first trip to Knoxville in a little more than a year. Ohio State and Miami have been among the other teams battling for him in addition to the Badgers, who have Latimer's older brother — defensive back Geimere Latimer II, a Jacksonville State transfer — on their current roster. Miami and Tennessee have been at least cautiously optimistic about their chances of stealing the younger Latimer away from Wisconsin, but the Badgers got him back on campus last weekend and still seem to have a legitimate shot at holding onto him."

What’s the feeling here going into NSD?

Running back, our enigma

[Jackcrevol]

Making a decision bc of his older brother, is fighting an uphill battle. Means his parents are prob involved and in that corner.

 

[VolByLaw]

I believe he has reached out to Tennessee in the last couple of days, but I don’t think anybody knows what that kid is doing

[Jackcrevol]

not to be critical but, whatever they're doing at RB recruiting at the high school level, may want to adjust it a tad.
