This would be my Top 11 of the '14 class: 1. RB Hurd 2. WR Malone 3. S Kelly 4. DB Gaulden 5. OL Bars 6. LB Wilson 7. DT Mosley 8. DT Sawyers 9. DE Barnett 10. ATH Wharton 11. DB E. Smith
Yes I'd have Gaulden that high. I think he's the most underated prospect in Tennessee and one of the most underated in the South. For a safety prospect he sure possesses the rare ability to match up with guys in man coverage. I still think he could project even better at corner on the college level. It's hard to find big-time CB prospects with his kind of height. He has everything you want in a DB prospect. Height, lateral quickness, explosion, plays very physical and fearless. Not worried about his current weight, he'll fill out just fine over the next few years. I think he's a legit National Top 100 type guy. I think he'll continue to rise in the rankings.
Not that the rest of the list is not important but where do these guys end up? Gaulden appears to be UTs to lose, but whats the best guess on the others?
Mosley spoke highly of us recently, but it seems to me that unless bama doesn't want him then we probably finish 2nd. .. Wilson also spoke highly recently. Hopefully we can continue to impress him. .. For some reason I am worried about Malone...
Malone is looking more and more like a ND lock, but there's still a lot of time on that. The Vols are in it, but have faded recently. Wilson could go anywhere Mosley is Tennessee's if Bama passes on him. He wants to take all 5 visits and Bama may not wait on him.
Yeah I dont think Malone is going to be a Vol. Mosley who knows. I think TN has a good chance if they really want him. Same with Wilson, he's from Memphis so anything can happen.
