re: Star rankings - Top 10

Posted by UTVols2618 on 2/4/16 at 1:17 pm
Michigan and Ohio State battles will be fun ...
Dad wants Ole Miss, kid wants UT. It's going to be interesting ...
If you're going by numbers, Barnett kills Garret. Most of Barnett's stats came against SEC teams while Garret's were against teams like Rice. Barnett was also hurt for the whole first half of the season but had to keep playing since we already lost Maggit for the year. Garret will be the higher draf...
3 spots left and UT is in the top 2 with 5 top 100 players that includes 2 five stars. Plus, Latrell Williams is high on the board too. There is no room. Woods was down the list ...
[quote]What this basically tells me that everyone is the same outside of Bama, USC and Florida State. I've seen mods come back with a score and talk about it on 247, Rivals and Scout and the difference in a couple of points is negligible and subjective. [/quote] Average star rankings is not a g...
[quote]Yeah I was looking on my phone. The one 5* was composite rankings.[/quote] The problem with composite is it adds scout and espn rankings. I would like it much better if it was just Rivals and 247 evaluations....
[quote]Rivals lol. You have one 5* on 247. ETA: 61 commits in 2 years is what's absurd. [/quote] UT actually has more 5 stars on 247 than Rivals. Kyle Phillips, Mckenzie, Preston Williams, and Alvin Kamara are 5 stars on 247...
[quote]OL: Jack Jones,Zach Stewart, Chance Hall [/quote] Dylan Jackson will probably turn into an elite tackle. Bama, LSU, and Stanford are after him hard at tackle...
[quote]Saulsberry is a 3rd team DT but we need all the help we need at DT[/quote] Lol, Saulsberry is the best dt we've had in the the past 3 years when healthy. He was way better than anyone on the field last year...
[quote]I'd definitely like to keep one CB in this years class at least. It appears Cameron Ordway seems to be trending Ole Miss as well from UT. I'd like to be greedy and find a way to keep both.[/quote] Ordway is looking like he will be a safety now and not a corner. Its one of the main reasons ...
[quote] We're about to land Tuttle, who is a better DT than Jones.[/quote] Dj Jones is better, but he is a one and done. UT is going to be terrible next year so I think they chose 4 years over 1 year. They couldn't realistically take both because both are expecting early pt and thats just not pos...
[quote]Butch loses a recruit? No fricking way. Lolz[/quote] Its looking like UT chose Tuttle over Jones. VQ mod said people close to Jones said that the staff wasn't recruiting him that hard anymore. ...

[quote]How do you think this is gonna work out down the line? did the same last year too, right?...Sounds like your gonna have at least 6 HS Coaches sending future recruits elsewhere... [/quote] Every coach does it, it is what it is. He wouldn't do it to an instate school and he can always word i...

[quote]What # are y'all at now? In the low 20s? Does anybody have any clue how many y'all can take?[/quote] Butch is known for being a little unethical when it comes to number crunching. He will cut a guy a week before signing day to get who he wants in. I'm predicting around 6 guys won't be on t...

[quote]Butch has not done anything to make me believe he is some great talent evaluator. He has done a good job of recruiting elite guys, but what has he shown that makes you confident in his ability to evaluate/coach guys up? [/quote] I watched him a lot at Cincy since I gamble on football games...
[quote]Yeah, we are in on wayyy too many elite players to continue taking 3* players like this imo.[/quote] Which probably means they are good players. This isn't like Dooley where we had no one else. The fact that Butch is taking these players means they are probably pretty good. 3 stars are an ...
Nice grab by the Volunteers. I had a chance to see him a few weeks back and he has taken his game up another level. It was right after he picked up his Ohio State offer after he went up to Columbus. I'd been hearing he was having a pretty strong spring and he showed really well at a 7on7 tournament ...

[quote]Buck takes great offense when people call him a handler, but he influences these kids big time. Dooley only got one kid out of IFM (Jalen Reeves-Maybin) and that was no coincidence.[/quote] Buck was involved with Tiny and Stone also. He said Tiny was going to go to AU the night before sign...

I wonder how many people know Mark Dantonio coached at Cincinatti for 3 years before Kelly. ...
