'26 TN OT Kamari Blair

[Volfan76]

JMO, a RB is never going to be a key to a class.

Derrick Henry says hi.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Derrick Henry says hi.

Would we crap our pants if Jamal Lewis Jr committed?

 

[Go Fight Win]

having a legit 5* rb would absolutely be a major accomplishment for our staff. You’ve all seen what we have done with 3 stars (they get drafted) imagine what we could do with Hiter

That said, not make or break. We have our make or break committed: the number 1 player and QB in the entire class

Everything else is cherries on top

 

[Go Fight Win]

I think we definitely land Keys, Hiter is a coin flip. gray is 40/60 but I think now we come back with more $$$ after Blair and make it very interesting. We flip one of the DE we want and land a few solid depth pieces (Brody Smith etc)

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Let’s let uscjr kid fall off the main page into oblivion.

That's a reasonable prediction. It would be hard for anyone to get mad at that class given how we've supplemented through the portal the past few cycles.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

He may be referring to Tom Loy’s comments in RC’s article today about the pending commitment. Loy was still thinking TN, but basically said SCjr felt really good as well. Loy then said that one of the two schools had been misled or lied to, sounds like he may have told both staffs he was coming.

If that’s true, then it makes his decision look even more ridiculous if you had to mislead your home state just to commit to South Carolina.

It’ll be interesting if bridges were burned or if the staff tries to flip him.

If he was anything like his daddy, I would. JL was unstoppable. If it wasn't for his injury, his numbers would have been off the charts.

we end up top 10, probably in the 7-9 range and i am VERY happy with that. Our staff can develop, too

Would take that all day.

Biggest wants:

Joel Wyatt, Auburn kid, Hiter, and Keys.

 

[Go Fight Win]

i forgot about wyatt and still think we land him

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Yeah but most mistakes don’t land you in Columbia, SC.

Absolute.craphole.

I have built an apartment complex and a 200 unit old folks home there. Both in summertime...when the only thing separating Columbia from Hell is a screendoor. Its a run down, miserable excuse for a capitol in a poor state. Wouldnt move there for double my salary.

First, it isnt a poor state. It has poor people in it. Columbia is hell, Spartanburg is hell.

Greenville SC is one if not the nicest City in SE US.

I don't know if we do. I think the kid wants to play safety and we like others better at safety. I hope it works out somehow but I'm skeptical at this point.

Make or break simply because he's the only RB we're actively recruiting. There is no fallback option currently.

The real key to the class is filling your needs. We've not filled all of our needs. RB, WR, IOL, and to some degree DL all remain needs.

How do you know he’s the only RB we’re actively recruiting? You got a buddy on the staff?

ah well we will find a rb.

To me this whole situation with not recruiting any other RB is like Tennessee telling Hiter, "Look, we are all in on you. Whatever it takes we'll do it." Which always made me feel decent about our chances. I don't know what Michigan's RB board looks like but this always struck me regardless.

I might.

 

[LittleVol]

I think this kid would have committed had we not taken Oseanda. And we have a bunch of OT talent on our roster already.

Wish this kid nothing but luck.

Don’t you put those predictions on us Ricky Bobby

 

[JacketVol]

Columbia sucks but SC is a pretty sweet state. Charleston is cool, beaches, Greenville is awesome.

Would rather he was a Vol, of course.

True on Charleston but not everyone can afford to live there.

Don't get me wrong, I would love another, especially if it's Gray; but, how is IOL a need?

Wendell Moe (R-Jr)
Sam Pendleton (R-So)
Sham Umarov (R-So)
Max Anderson (R-Fr)
Gage Ginther (R-Fr)
William Satterwhite (R-Fr)
Antoni Ogumoro (Fr)
Nic Moore (Fr)

Been talk of Bennett Warren (R-Fr) getting reps on the inside; Jesse Perry (R-Fr) can maybe move inside some say.

3 interior positions. 8 players, possibly 10.

Tons of youth, so I don't understand "need" for this class, with Baker already committed?

Moe will be in the NFL next year

Moe will be in the NFL next year

Possibly. I hope he plays well enough to go.

Baker will be on campus by then...still 8 players, possibly 10, for 3 positions.
