Running list of Tennessee targets planned commitment dates

@Ericvol2096

Two things confusing me on this recruiting cycle.

1. Why don't we have more DL targets? Is Garner losing a step on the recruiting trail?

2. Why are we not pursuing higher rated secondary?

We have 3 DL committed and 2 more will be added by July 1st.

Good question on DB but I’m guessing they found some instate guys they like they think they could develop for a lower $ value so they allocated bigger money this cycle elsewhere?

When you say 3 committed, do you mean the edges? I'm talking about interior DL guys. I know we're trying to get Dereon Albert, and maybe already have him as a silent, no idea. Other than that, the only other DL I've seen that shows interest is Darryl Rivers. Of the edges you mentioned, I could see Groves being a SDE. Not sure how much growth the other two have. But we need a couple of more true big boys for the trenches, IMO. I'm just surprised Garner isn't in on more of those big guys or involved with some bigger names.


I miss the days of having a John Henderson and Albert Haynesworth lined up next to each other, beating down opposing OLs.

Yea I’d say of the 5 we will have by the 4th two will end up edges and 3 will grow into DL.

Matt Ray said the staff didn’t think the top of the Db class was worth what the top of the DB class is going to command so they elected to go this route. It doesn’t seem much different than the route they went last year other than the fact I think they’ve found some cheap raw athletic guys this go around. Outside of McCoy and Jordan Matthews and probably Gibson to some extent it just doesn’t seem like they have put a lot of money in that area. Of all the stuff related to our recruiting that’s probably the thing I really don’t understand or agree with. But no one offered me 9 million for my opinion either.
