That stinks on Batts because he has been playing really well it seems on articles I have read on him. I figured FSU eventually for Polley.

It'll be an interesting recruitment to watch with Batts, he has said he will likely wait til spring to commit so he could factor in later. Currently there is only 2 spots open and the staff is recruiting for 2 spots, IMO you have to take 2 bigs and the staff does not seem overly eager to try and over sign in the fall. I think if they could land Samuels they would likely then over sign, but it appears to me they're looking to sign just 2 in the fall, and as I've already said both of those guys being post options.

The guys Tennessee seemed to be mentioned with watching the most this past week/weekend: Jermaine Samuels, Alex Reese, Lance Thomas, Raiquan Gray, Victor Uyelunmo and Isaiah Stokes.

I think Kigab, Polley and Batts are essentially off the list, haven't seen much on Durr, Doumbi, Huffman and Enoh.

Mutual interest for all these guys. Samuels would be an interesting get.

*added Nick Richards, nothing definitive but VQ has been maintaining that Vols have some ties and are trying to get involved.


Huge jump for Stokes, that's now 2 recent updates by services (ESPN & 247) that have moved him into their top 100 rankings.

What I've noticed with 247 Sports is the way they handle the schools listed. They are predicting Stokes to be a 100% UT signing.

However, we're not even listed top 5 from their current updated list. We are actually listed 7th. I know it's just a list & it's not in any particular order but it does catch my eye. They surely believe though at 100% prediction that Jarnell's brother is going to follow him to UT. That would be great! :rock:

It is in a particular order; alphabetical order.

What I meant from was school preference order & nothing else!

It's the same with every other site. All schools with similar interest level are listed in alphabetical order. On 247, they are separated by schools who have offered, and those that haven't. Tennessee is listed 7th because they are 7th in alphabetical order of the schools Stokes is showing interest in that have extended an offer.

I just checked a few recruits & that's not true on all of them if that's what you're trying to say. 247 Sports for a few recruits do not have the schools interested listed in alphabetical order.

Those are showing interest level school rankings in order & not alphabetical order.

Edit: This example is for football but it's not in alphabetical order: Jordan Williams, Frank W. Cox, Weak-Side Defensive End

It's listed by interest level and alga vertical order, that top group all say "warm" and are in alphabetical order, the next group are all "cool" interest level and also in alphabetical order.

Four schools with the same level of interest (warm) have offered scholarships, and listed in alphabetical order; Clemson, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech. The schools who have offered, but he has lesser interest (cool) are listed in alphabetical order too starting with Alabama.

Yes, the "warmer" or "warm" school are listed 1st but not necessarily in alphabetical order either. It's the same for the rest of the schools listed as "cool" for certain recruits.

It's not like this for all recruits for some reason. I'll see if I can pull up another example.

Yes it is, the example you provided is listed by interest level and alphabetical order, I'll wait to see an example that doesn't fit this mold.

247 composite rankings updated:

#19 Nick Richards
#47 Jermaine Samuels
#75 Lance Thomas
#83 Abu Kigab
#88 Alex Reese
#95 Lavar Batts
#103 Victor Uyaelunmo
#125 Isaiah Stokes
#127 Tyler Polley
#149 Michael Durr
#164 Raiquan Gary
#185 Ibrahim Doumbia
#204 Brandon Huffman
#254 Victor Enoh


Added Nick Richards as VQ has been maintaining Vols have connections to his AAU squad and are trying to get involved, seems to be recent optimism they may steal an official from him.

Lance Thomas continues his trend towards, gotta imagine he finishes near the top 50.

Isaiah Stokes also continues his trend up, looks like he could make it into the top 100 before too much longer.

Main targets seem to be pretty much the same: Nick Richards, Lance Thomas, Victor Uyaelunmo, Isaiah Stokes and Raiquan Gary.
