May Recruiting Thread

[Bulldog10]

Isn't Proctor showing up in the top 10 in mock drafts?

Projected to be one of the first non QBs picked. And Conerly went in the first round this year.

David Sanders won the RT spot at Tennessee this spring I’m pretty sure,

It doesn't sound like Sanders won the job exactly. Tennesse had a multi-year player who was 1st string at RT all spring and then entered the portal and signed with Colorado. Sanders practiced with the 2s and 3s all spring. So, it sounds more likely that the incumbent RT wanted more money (likely based on a CU offer) that Tennessee wouldn't pay because they had Sanders behind him and he was already making quite a bit. They said he was learning fast but was an unfinished product. He has needed to put on weight - he added 20 pounds since January and still need to put on about ten more before the season.

I think the big paydays for very highly ranked freshman OTs is one reason they almost have to play. It's hard to tell a starting senior that this freshman is making 1.5M but you'll only make $800K (hypothetical numbers). It's also hard to afford to be paying $3-$4M a year to stockpile two guys at one position. It is a situation where the guy you take and pay that much has to play because of payroll management.

Sanders, though, was not a consensus number one who came in as an almost certain starter. Fasusi was consensus number 1.. Sanders was the number 3 OT in On 3 and 247.

All that being said, I'd guess Sanders would've passed Johnson up by the end of his freshman year anyway.

About 30 2026 official visitors coming in June. Sounds like the number for the class is still around 15.

Surprised if they are able to hold on to him. The 2026 class is going to need a big boost in June. The staff has done a good job of getting top talent to visit but now they need to start closing. I don't know what is allowed but it would be good if they can get Trae Taylor in for those June weekends.

Shit. I thought Barthel was white

It’s fair to think that if he were going to stay committed then there would be no need to make a decision in July. I don’t think he’ll end up here, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve said that and been wrong.
