We're currently at 25.

There doesn't appear to be any last minute losses this season. There was speculation that Tino Thomas may have been asked to look around, but he said he is solid to TN just a couple of days ago.

Do we get to 28 with three of the following?

Antonio Richardson - 4 star OT : UGA, Tenn, Aub, USC
Leon Mackey - 4 star DE : MSU, Tenn
Gabe Wright - 4 Star - DT : Aub, Tenn
Timmy Jernigan - 4 star DT : FSU, LSU, Tenn
Lamar Dawson - 4 star LB : Oregon, USC, Kentucky, Tenn
Curt Maggit - 4 Star LB : UF, Wiscy, Tenn

3 of those guys would be an excellent finish to this class.

Leon Mackey - 4 star DE


Been hearing he is a Mississippi State lean do to the fact he can walk in and have a good chance to start for us.

State doesn't get good players, so forget about it

Tough call. If I absolutely had to take a stab at it.

With zero insider information whatsoever, I'd say

Richardson, Dawson, Mackey

I was thinking something like this.

If we could choose three, I'd probably say Richardson, Dawson, and Jernigan.

i would say realistic shot is:
richardson
dawson
and wright or magitt

it would not hurt to sign more than 3 since its likely one or two guys from this class will not qualify for whatever reasons

Richardson 100%
Dawson 70%
either Gabe 30% or Jernigan 30%
and possibly Maggitt 50% to finish with 29.

I would say we will most likely land Lamar Dawson and Antonio Richardson. I'd say both of those have very high odds, for the rest:

Maggit 40%
Gabe Wright 33%
Jernigan 10%
Mackey - I haven't been following, but I would imagine the others are higher on the list.

Wow, looks like all UT fans are on the same page. That doesn't happen often.

Also, if anybody follows skeeter on volnation, who apparently works in the football offices, he's getting everybody riled up for a surprise finish. He hasn't said it out right, but he seems to be hinting toward Jernigan. He starts out the day by saying that TJ has the Vols on his mind and has been calling the coaches to ask them questions today. He could be suggesting Dawson or someone else though.

He does seem to have legitimate inside from the coaches. And he claims he hides his IP because they are aware of a leak. Funny, ridiculous stuff, but pretty entertaining the closer we get to signing day.

based upon the counting skills of the UT coaches I would say you could sign them all plus 5 or 6 more.

Everytime I re-read the latest TN rivals article on Jernigan, I become more and more optimistic

Definitely not expecting a commitment, but it wouldn't be a huge shocker if he dawned the orange.

I will add Maggit to my list of probables for Tennessee, so my three are: Dawson, Maggit, and Richardson. Funny thing is, I'm more worried about Richardson than the other two.

A rumor making the rounds today is that Tiny and Dawson have already informed the coaching staff of their commitments.

No news on the others, but Maggit is very likely

I assume you saw the picture of GW at the celebration I posted for you here last week. It made it to Volnation within minutes.

FTR-I still have some doubts that he commits to AU tomorrow.

even multiple people on catspause are saying Dawson will be a vol. wasn't the case about a week ago.
Jernigan will be a huge get and a huge NSD surprise. but I think he'll go to FSU. they're on an even more upswing than us. taking back the state of Florida + easy ACC schedule= national title picture almost on a yearly basis
