Seems they are pilling up the 3*s. Which I don't think is a real problem except when it comes to their ranking. Where do you see them finishing this class?

We're expecting another 5* Shy Tuttle commit next month. UT will have most 5* committed in the nation by next month.

I think UT end up with 4 5* on NSD. Too many recruits and not enough space.

I want to donate some of them to South Carolina's class. I think they only enrolled like 10 guys from last year.

Top 10, maybe top 3 if they do land guys like Tuttle, Torrance Gibson, Sweat(doubtful)

Top 10, for sure, but probably no better than 6. Allegedly, the staff is feeling pretty confident about Tuttle, who's going to announce next month. I have to assume we have a legit shot at Sweat, but I'm not overly confident there. Torrance Gibson seems to really like Tennessee, but there are so many conflicting reports out there that his decision is tough to accurately predict.

I know this much, this time last year we had eight guys committed who didn't end up signing with the Vols. If there are better prospects on the board, Butch has a history of telling guys to look elsewhere.

We had 7 or 8 guys that were committed, at this point last year, that didn't sign and we replaced with a higher rated player (with the exception of Kevin Mouhon).

I think we finish around 6th with a possibility of top 3 if we pull a couple of surprises.

Thats an advantage, if there is one, of not having as strong of an in-state recruiting base: you can tell recruits to frick off without having repercussions from the fanbase and HS coaches in the state

Top 10, but behind Bama, A&M, Auburn, and Georgia more than likely. Comparing top 10 classes is pretty much splitting hairs though

Yah. I think there's 1, 2, maybe 3 classes that typically separate themselves from the pack. The rest of the top 10 are all pretty tight.

Bottom 3rd of the top 10.

I would be more than happy with that finish as well.

Top 10. I would think between 6th and 9th.

Yeah, I d say we end up in the 6 to 10 range. This years class is more about needs and doesn't have all the "glamorous" skill position players.

3 to 5 players will be told to look around, so there's an outside shot we land in the top 5, but I don't expect it.

With all this talent butch is bringing in.It would take a Dooley like effort to keep UT from improving.
You guys are definitely trending in the right direction .

I don't think anyone ITT has claimed Tennessee to be a mega recruiting power, especially with our last few seasons. But Butch has done well, all things considered. Since you're intent on being a cockblower, have you forgotten about last years top 5 class already?

Top 6 or 7-10 is a birdie in the drenched socket bro. May notve been the eagle of year passed, but a birdie nonetheless.

Honestly i don't see us (LSU) getting a top 5 class this year.

i think we'll break top 10.

2016 is a nice different story we can realistically land 10 of top 50 composite recruits

10-20. Not gonna be the ridiculous class they brought last year, but a large class with good balance.
