Title: Welcome to Rocky Top 5* OT Darnell Wright Post by: PirateVOL on February 06, 2019, 10:08:57 EST Expected, but still a big get at a position of need!
We got bookend OTs this class, and Morris has been in the weight room Title: Re: Welcome to Rocky Top 5* OT Darnell Wright Post by: Tnphil on February 06, 2019, 10:11:39 EST https://twitter.com/GoVols247/status/1093254580790538240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1093254580790538240&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2Ftwitter.min.html%231093254580790538240
Title: Re: Welcome to Rocky Top 5* OT Darnell Wright Post by: volsboy on February 06, 2019, 10:18:40 EST Last I saw on ESPN is the Vols have the 7th rated class in the SEC and 15th in the nation. SEC recruiting is brutal.
Title: Re: Welcome to Rocky Top 5* OT Darnell Wright Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on February 06, 2019, 10:27:42 EST This class had 11 of 23 recruits in the ESPN Top 300 - for a program that has 9 wins (2 in the SEC) in the past two seasons.
To me, that's a great recruiting year. Title: Re: Welcome to Rocky Top 5* OT Darnell Wright Post by: Tnphil on February 06, 2019, 10:28:25 EST 247 has us at 11th before Wright....Probably won't get us in the top 10......But our average star ranking is the highest in years with this class.

For 5 long years there was little or no development under the glib salesman. Last fall I saw development across the board. Playing 3 true FR in the secondary was scary but, while having some expected breakdowns held their own. I think the finish was the team just wearing down due to the little or no depth. BTW, one player in the portal is a former 5*, think about that Title: Re: Welcome to Rocky Top 5* OT Darnell Wright Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on February 06, 2019, 11:35:15 EST *s are nice but development is key.

Players must be developed. Getting the players that CJP wants is just the beginning of the process. I think that stage of the process went very well this cycle. About as good as we could have realistically hoped, at least. Title: Re: Welcome to Rocky Top 5* OT Darnell Wright Post by: volsboy on February 07, 2019, 12:35:09 EST Unfortunately the usual suspects are killing it as usual. Bama may have brought in the best class they ever have. UGa is right behind them. UF had a good class too. LSU is in the mix, aTm has the #3 class in the nation. When you add these recruits to the players they already have coming back it is a tall order to gain any ground on them. On a pleasant note, the Buckeyes class was behind ours.
Title: Re: Welcome to Rocky Top 5* OT Darnell Wright Post by: droner on February 07, 2019, 01:08:38 EST Rivals has us at 12, ESPN has us at 11.
That's doing pretty well for a team with the record we had. And had. And had. Etc. and so forth.
