When Will We Sign a 5*

  • BigOrangeBeer said...

    My point was that a 5* commit would be better for undecided recruits. It wasnt about underated recruits we signed in years past.

    Hard to get out of state 5* recruits to commit early when its an important year on the field in the fall for your HC plus our record the prior 4+ years. Its impressive what CDD and co. have done so far this year and the last 3 classes. Vonn Bell is our best bet and he is not instate but really close.

    QB commits help classes plus camps help as we are seeing. I think the opening of the new football practice facility will help too. Nothing will help like a win vs NCST and 1 early win vs FL or UGA.

    Its just impressive we are landing the talent we have in the last few classes and this one this early (setting a UT record by far) after going 5-7,7-6,6-7, and 5-7. Just so few 5*s in the nation.

  • Kendall Fuller is another to watch, he was pretty high on Tennessee.

    High School recruit. We are loaded with coaches regarded for recruiting. So will we pick up one of the big boys this year? It means more for how our program is perceived nationally than any thing else IMO, but other players notice where the studs are committing. I hope its this year, and I hope its a RB!

    Vonn Bell is our best bet....not sure when he plans to make his decision

  • Von is our best chance but I'm not ruling out the possibility of having three or four. If we have a good season, I'm talking 10 win season it's possible we land Bell, Adams, Fuller and possibly a 5* RB. It is very possible one or two of the highly ranked 4* on our board climb to 5* with a good senior season.

    3* to 4* is more likely. 4*'s very seldom go to 5*.

    Your right, its a welcome change just to be in the conversation!
