This is my thing. Sorry.
All speculation based on countless daily hours spent here. Hope you enjoy and find this informative.
Really surprised that CJP recently added (awarded scholarships to walk-ons) 3 to the 85. We're already heavy. Lots of attrition between now and next June will be required.
Let's dive into it:
Andrew Craig TE- former walk-on, does he return for a 5th year?
Princeton Fant TE- does he transfer down for PT?
Jahmir Johnson OL- does he grad transfer for PT? Will he graduate in time to transfer?
Trey Smith LG- NFL bound! Go Trey!!!
Brandon Kennedy C- He'll apply for and win an appeal for a 6th year.
Ryan Johnson OL- He's Einstein (multiple degrees) and will move on to $$$$!
Riley Locklear OL- He's been recruited over, will he return for depth?
Marcus Tatum OL-He's been recruited over, will he return for depth?
Isaiah Montgomery WR- Just awarded a scholarship, is it forever or 1 semester?
JT Shrout QB- IMO, he's not going anywhere. GF is a softball Lady Vol.
Jarrett Guarantano QB- Will grad transfer to Rutgers, his Dad's alma mater.
Carlin Fils-Aime RB- I think he leaves even if eligible for a 5th year.
Emmitt Gooden DL- Will return from ACL to improve his NFL stock.
Jordan Allen OLB- IMO, a medical candidate.
Kwauze Garland DB- Just awarded a scholarship, is it forever or 1 semester?
Baylen Buchanan DB- IMO, a medical candidate.
Kenney Solomon DB- Recently awarded a scholarship. I thought he counted already.
Cheyenne Labruzza DB- does he transfer down for PT?
Brandon Davis DB- does he focus on baseball?
The bottom line is, other than the 3 in bold counted, at least 8 more kids have to depart for us to enroll 25. You'll just have to trust me on the numbers. There could/will be others. We shall see.
I'll try to summarize our current recruiting situation:
Pretty solid with all 18 commits
Only one we may have to fight for is Jimmy Calloway-WR. IMO, we hold him. 7 needed to get to 25.
We lead for:
Omari Thomas DT
Ocatvious Oxendine DT
Tyler Baron DE
Len'Neth Whitehead RB
Vai Kaho LB
2 spots held for:
Darnell Washington TE
Thaiu Jones-Bell WR
Possible:
Marcus Henderson OG
Jay Hardy DE (Barn)
Reginald Perry SDE
Desmond Tisdol LB
GBO!!!!!!!!!
