    I just watched some of Taiyon Palmer’s film and I like him a lot. I think he’ll be apart of this class.

    Sounds like we have 9 spots left. List definitely isn't all-inclusive. Have tried to narrow down to prospects that aren't giving strong indications to another school. Total guess on the "In's" but there's reason for optimism with those prospects. Will be curious to see how many "backup's" we ultimately take.

    Jordan Young WR - In
    Quay Walker LB - In
    Taiyon Palmer CB - In
    John Mincey DE - In

    Otito Ogbonnia DT - Maybe
    Olaijah Griffin CB - Maybe
    Isaac Taylor-Stuart CB - Maybe
    Eddie Smith CB - Maybe
    Dylan Wonnum OL - Maybe
    Glenn Beal TE - Maybe
    Tyson Campbell CB - Longshot
    Nestra Silvera DT - Longshot

    Brandon Davis CB - Backup
    Treveon Johnson CB - Backup
    Treveon Flowers S - Backup
    Ryan Winkel OL - Backup
    Jordan Miller DT - Backup
    Kurott Garland DT - Backup

    Really hope we get Griffin. Feel like he goes to USC though.

    That’s a pretty good finish. I’d think we either take one more O lineman or receiver

    We have 14 signed and I think we can only sign 22. After this weekend, here is my guess on who will sign on NSD.

    JJ Peterson
    Jordan Walker
    Quay Walker
    Olaijah Griffin
    Eddie Smith
    Taiyon Palmer
    Otito Ogbonnia
    John Mincey

    There’s 8. There might not be room for another offensive player. That would leave the following on the bubble:

    Anthony Grant
    Treveon Johnson
    Ryan Winkel
    Brandon Davis
    Jordan Miller
    Kurott Garland

    It will be interesting to see who they take for the final spot or 2.

    Edit: VQ is saying Eddie Smith is a Bama lean now, so Brandon Davis might replace Smith.

    It sounds like Brandon Davis is in. Apparently he's also a baseball prospect. VQ guys mentioned that his commitment wouldn't be an indicator of where we are with elite options.

    If Eddie Smith does go to Bama, I'm curious how that affects the numbers. I.e. would Bama also have space for ITS? Does UGA have space for an elite corner?

    Damn Butch Jones wasting 3 scholarships against this class.

    It looks like Brandon Davis will be in this class. Best offer was Colorado St. Terry Fair must really like him.

    Not sure if that means anything about Olaijah Griffin or Eddie Smith. Hope not.

    Heard someone one the radio saying Davis had some of the best measurables of all of them, just kind of a project. Maybe he'll be the one guy like that that comes to UT and doesn't suck.

    He committed just now

    he hits as hard or harder as the cbs we are trying to get. Physical db that Pruitt likes. Baseball player that didn't go to a single football camp, similar to the wr we picked up from Ga in that way.

    It's not like this class can be questioned too deeply anyway. If they think he is worth a shot, this is the class where you have to take some shots

    Yep, it’s amazing we haven’t had to take more chances like this. Pruitt’s done a heckuva job getting in on top talent on a short amount of time.

    Hmm... I'll try to spin this positively too. Maybe this energetic staff knows what a diamond in the rough actually looks like.

    The recruiting goons at VN are speculating he's a preferred walk on.

    I think Smith ends up at Bama now, the visit seems to have changed things with him. I think it's split down the middle 50/50 on Griffin with us and USC. I get the feeling the closer to signing day it gets the more pressure builds for him to stay home.

    We just got Davis....Palmer may be the last CB we take.

    Unfortunately I agree

    Idk how...he took an official visit.

    I'm not sure what people are seeing on his film that makes him a reach. He's rated where he is because he didn't go to a single football camp.
