The Sleeper Class

[norrislakevol]

I see this as one of the worst classes I have ever seen so far. Especially with so many saying this will be one of the best classes UT has ever had.

I'm glad some of you are happy. I for one am extremely, extremely concerned to say the least.

I agree with the exception that I will be extremely concerned in December if the class looks like it does now. In July, I am not as concerned.

Just a reminder, one of the biggest reasons Kongbo signed with us was because he said "UT was interested in me from the beginning. Before all the stars, all the hype, etc." Butch getting on guys he sees talent in early like this will only help down the road. Like it's been said before, several of these players will get a bump up to a 4 star throughout their senior season, I would say at least 7 of them (Cotman, Henderson, Murphy, Labruzza, Bumphus,Bennett and Jackson). Butch showing interest early could be the swing vote come next February.

Reasonable

This class is already better than his 2013 class.

It had Sutton, JRM, Foreman, Wiesman, Kendrick, Vereen and Dobbs!

All of the linemen look great for 2017. Offensive and defensive.

Still need a big time RB. But i like the athletes we have in the secondary, lineman and Murphy at WR.

Speaking for all the VOL fans that matter - D'Andre appears to be an outstanding football prospect. We fully expect you to guide him to UT as an early commit who will then become a peer recruiter for UT. Also, you are responsible to make sure he takes care of his grades and continues to develop his game. Being an uncle is hard work! :good!:

Anyone who says different is a troll, probably a poser from another school who wants to make UT look bad so that D'Andre would consider attending their university.

His motor never stops and his drive is continuous inside and outside the classroom. This junior year will be a huge year for him at Riverdale H.S.

My take?

I would love to see him a Vol. Kid is very talented. I'll also tell you how a lot of these situations play out, especially on here. Early on the instate guy gets huge attention, everyone says he's great and wants him in Knoxville. When it comes time to actually add them to the class you will see our fans do a quick 180 and try to explain why a lower rated guy from New Mexico or Delaware makes more sense than the local kid. Its tough to watch it unfold.

This season is going to be a huge season for him at Riverdale H.S.

Really?

I feel like theres not enough tape on him.

I don't think he's really been evaluated. Maxpreps stats show he only played 3 games last years, but he did jump 10 spots on the QB player rankings
on 247 the day after his commit. He could have just been overlooked, and if he helps us get Tariq Black I won't mind.
