Tennessee continues to be 4* Mecole Hardman leader. Another playmaker with impressive, if not elite speed that would be a great addition at CB. Explosive acceleration, good balance / quickness / hands / vision, he's a sticky, lock-down defender. HUDL

Beating Florida and UGA this year is important in general for this class if I had my guess, but it does appear to be a good bit more so in this particular case.
Jones may hold '16's class together but if he doesn't show significant (on-field) progress and too, put an end to one or all of Florida, Georgia and Mizzou streaks it definitely will impact '17 and beyond. imo While the previous three are realistic expectations unfortunately, we're closing but not quite there w/ 'Bama
I think this class takes a hit without some improvement over that group. How can it not really? The lack of progress will be too easy a sell for other programs down the stretch. It may still be a decent class, but going 0-for that group again will most likely result in defectors and cause some still out there at that point to look elsewhere.
