I’ve been studying the histories of the SEC players taken in the draft this year and while I’m only through the first 15 guys, the first rounders, I discovered something that I haven’t heard a lot of talk about. 13 out of the 15 SEC guys taken in the first round were in the 2017 recruiting class. Only Burrow (2015) and Derrick Brown (2016) seem to have spent more than 3 years in a D1 college uniform. South Carolina DT, Kinlaw should have been in the 2016 class but had to go JUCO for a year. He then signed with Carolina in 2017. That’s got to be a good selling point in recruiting. Come to our school kid, work your tail off, and you’ve got a good shot at getting to the league in 3 years.

High school evaluations are pretty decent but there are some gross misses by the services and this is just on the guys that made it. I’m not looking at the guys that didn’t. For example, Burrow was a 5.6 dual threat QB according to rivals but the worse miss was by everybody. Justin Jefferson, WR from LSU, #22 pick in the first round, was rated by rivals as a 5.2, 247 had him at 83, and ESPN didn’t bother. His composite was 7982.

Noah Igbinoghene, CB from Auburn, #30 pick, was a consensus WR coming out of high school, and a consensus 4-star, barely. This should be encouraging for Bryce and Alontae.

Patrick Queen, taken #28 as a LB from LSU, came out of high school being touted by 247 as an athlete, ESPN as a RB, and rivals as an OLB . This is our track for Beasley and Whitehead.

It’s pretty interesting backtracking the guys to their evaluations but the most striking thing so far is the overwhelming number that are 3-year guys. I no longer care about stars so much, just bring us a lot of 3-year guys. Obviously, Trey would have been a 3-yearer without the medical issue, To’o To’o is on track to be a 3-yearer, maybe Wanya and Darnell. It’ll be interesting to see who else emerges. jmo.

What a puss attitude. What don’t you end over and go baaaaaaaa. Bammers like that I hear.

Hope you have a good day.

Just read the news about UT getting a 5* commit. Pruitt & Co.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Hey, just noticed I hadn't seen McGill post anything for a couple of days. Hope he's ok.

I'm here...I just had a really busy weekend. Thanks for the thoughts.

Has Jeremy Banks still not been reinstated? Figured that would have happened by now.

What’s the point of reinstatement when nothing is happening on campus?

Under the radar with lots of distractions.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Figured so too. But the fact that the kid never left Knoxville, has been pro UT everything and never entered the portal. Tells me its just a matter of time, imo.

Early Taylor Swift was a teenager. As in jailbait.

It’s cool

A girl can be called “pretty” without being sexualized.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Oh man...how many of ya'll are working from home?


I think I'm in week 6 or 7 of it now.

Not in today's world. Interwebs police will be looking you up shortly.

Week 7 for me. Just found out it's getting pushed back until the end of May. Sucks, but I still have a job, so I'm not complaining.

 

[TrippieRedd]

So Salter and Nixon were the 2?

@Bassmaster_Vol who was the other dude you were talking about?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yeah, I expect we have a "trickle in" thing once they do start bringing people back in.

I'm not hating all the cash I'm saving on gas and not eating out for lunch and/or breakfast though.

 

[VolInDayton]

Is the hashtag only used when a player is ready to publicly commit? I bet Nixon commits sometime this week.

We have been offsetting all the savings by the steady flow of online orders that have been rolling in

Pfft....the wife is kind of clean freak with anxiety. Boxes don't even come inside for 24 hours and can't be opened for 72 hours.

(so in other words we haven't order much at all)

 

[barrylee]

Where's my boy Charger? Haven't seen him in a bit..

Price gouging has turned me off Amazon for a bit during all this stuff.
