As many of you that follow recruiting know, we signed a massive class last year which will make spots harder to come by for the 2015 class unless we have a good bit of attrition (i.e Get rid of the dead weight and weed out Dooley's players)

VQ has hinted that we could have 6-8 more players leave the program before fall camp which would directly open up more scholarships for '15, so I thought we could keep a list of the scholarship players that have left the program.

Former 3* DE Malik Brown has informed Butch Jones today that he plans to transfer to a FCS program immediately.

Official Transfer List
(As of 5/30)

Riley Ferguson QB
Jason Carr DT/OL
Tom Smith RB
Alden Hill RB
Malik Brown DE

Available Scholarships for 2015
(As of 5/30)

16 (11 commitments currently)

Wow, I wasn't in the know that this class would be that small. TBH, I could see a few guys that have already committed asked to look else where as well.

Jaylond Wood, I'm looking at you.

Yeah I really doubt Woods will be part of this class. I hope they make Lovingood walk on also. We are in on too much talent to be giving scholly's out to friggin long snappers imo.

If what VQ said about more players possibly leaving is true, we could have anywhere from 22-24 spots open come fall.

Just off the top of my head we're in on or lead for:

Kyle Phillips - DE - 4*
Khalil McKenzie - DT - 5*
Tim Settle - DT - 5*
Austin Clark - OT - 4*
Drew Richmond - OT - 4*
Van Jefferson - WR - 4*
Ricky DeBerry - LB/DE - 4*
Cameron Ordway - CB - 4*

+ the QBs and plethera of 3* we're in on. Butch and Co. gonna have to get creative

Fwiw, I could see these scholarship players leaving before the season starts when they see the writing on the wall.

WR Drae Bowles
S Geraldo Orta
S Lemond Johnson
NT Allan Carson
OLB/TE Justin King
DE Latroy Lewis
TE Woody Quinn
OT Brett Kendrick

I'm sure there could be more but these wouldn't surprise me.

I would rank the likelihood of those players leaving

King
Bowles
Lewis
Orta
Johnson
Carson
Kendrick
Quinn

Quinn will be a senior and no way can they afford to lose any o-lineman and there are rumors Austin Sanders could be on the way out already.

Oh wow. I haven't heard that. Does he just suck or is it something else?

I don't know. There is an insider on 3rdandChavis.com who has been money on all these departures. Posted the Pig news two weeks before VQ and called the Jason Carr and Malik Brown transfers in April. He said the other day to keep an eye out for Austin Sanders. Said he is not in the 2 deep and is struggling with academics. Didn't say he was for sure done like Carr and Brown, but said he is one watch out for.

That would sting. I thought he would be pretty good when he was coming out of HS.

Do you post over there? I'm looking for another UT message board but I can't read much of anything over there without signing up.

Yeah, I'm a member. I don't post a lot though. Pretty much strictly UT news over there. Their team insider (Tommy Basilico) has been money since I've been a member over there.

I think I may sign up. I post here and occasionally at 8thmaxim but that site is mainly a weird faction of Volnation members that jumped ship. It's been a strange place over there ever since the Gruden debacle.

I am a member at 8thmaxim also but I rarely visit anymore. Hatvol has a lot of hoops knowledge, but that's about it.

I pretty much stick with here and 3&C. FL98 is entertaining too but there's a lot more OT BS than I care for. Big fan of 3&C.
