'18 TN DE Emmitt Gooden (Tennessee signee)

[85SugarVol]

Us seasoned professionals sitting here watching all these noobs lose their marbles during silly season is fun.

I prefer “grizzled veteran”, thank you very much.

2 years of eligibility and may still not qualify? Good grief. Yeah, that's a real numbers risk. No wonder we stopped pursuing. WVU must have the room to take the chance.

Its probably not much of a chance for them. He could possibly make the Dean's list there.

Not if he can't meet Big 12 requirements. But I suppose this is probably why MSU/Ark are also out if he can't meet SEC requirements. Tennessee's entrance for transferable credits and GPA for CC/JC are currently above minimal SEC requirements still, are they not?

We’re not pursuing him anymore per VQ. Still...

I think we are getting our big fish :rock:

Highly unlikely. There’s been no smoke here for a while.

I’d like to be surprised though. But if you can’t get your grades up through HS and then again in JUCO, then maybe the desire/effort to be successful is not there.

Big fish as in other prospects we are in on. Not referring to Gooden as the big fish.

We have made calls this morning on Gooden. Doesn't seem as of today that he's visiting or that Tennessee is a viable option for Emmitt.

Call me crazy but I really want this kid at TN. We all know grades are an issue but he has to be down the line as far as priorities for Pruitt in this 18 class. Also he doesn’t want to take the risk of losing a spot with him not qualifying

Yer crazy.

 

[TriCitiesVol]

My guess is WVU due to grades here

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Wouldn't be surprised if this kid went with Arkansas again.

 

[JRVFL]

This is all on Gooden not taking care of business in the classroom. He missed out on UT not the other way around.

Grades aren’t Gooden uff

 

[Ron Swanson]

Emmitt Gooden told me that he just landed in Knoxville and is visiting unofficially this weekend.

Blue shirt?

would have to be, but is this really the route we want to go?

 

[UTMVol76]

Wait a minute (Bruce Ariens turns head), wasn’t he announcing yesterday?

This is strange...

Blue shirt?

Why would it be a blue shirt?

We've been pursuing 1-2 DL the whole time and we couldn't get Niesta or Coynis to flip. Jordan Miller went to UM. Ogbonnia is hard to read but might go elsewhere. I'm sure I'm missing a name or two.

On top of that, with Langham, Lamar, and Mincey leans elsewhere, it might just be a case of wanting to add talent/size to the front seven regardless of position.

No, he's mentioned a while back he was announcing on NSD.

His "big announcement" yesterday was just him acknowledging his top three of UT, WVU, and Ark.

Pfft. Lame.

So why is it an uov instead ov?

He'd be a Blueshirt because we have super limited numbers and he might not qualify. If he signs next week and doesn't qualify we lose that spot. If he has a good spring and qualifies then he can join the team in the summer/fall and count towards next year.

If grades are the issue blue shirt means 0 risk
