ellitor 33,094 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 With Big Z & J-Wright on the board we now have 6 OL committed to the class 3* OG/C Tate Johnson 4* OT Javion Cohen 3* OG Avery Jernigan 3* #1 Juco OT Kilian Zierer 3* #5 Juco OT Jonathan Buskey3* OT/OG Jeremiah Wright With us leading or in the thick of it for a number of guys it will be interesting to see which one we land if we take another one... 3* #2 Juco OT Brenden Coffey - AU leads4* OG Chris Morris - Surprise BCW visitor. #AU #2 behind aTm. AU may take 1 more OL in the class. It would likely be a juco OT or a college ready OT from high school. Discuss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,149 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 It is now a great class. so now do we need one or more Juco to have enough depth for 2020 or do we want one or two more for a longer range future. Personally I want one to be Wright giving us 2 Freshman OT's along with Jernigan and Johnson and the other can be any of the other three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plainsman 948 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I knew we were going to sign 7. Coffee and Robinson is how I would close it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronCrazy 1,062 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I would take Coffee & Robinson of that group. Does this mean we are out of the running for 4* OG Chris Morris? Are we still trying to recruit Omari Thomas as an OT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I just put in the 4 most likelys as of now. Odds are & have been long with him. 30 minutes ago, CameronCrazy said: Are we still trying to recruit Omari Thomas as an OT? Since we offered not long ago we likely are still recruiting him. Not much is known about him right now so didn't include him in the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Robinson, Wright and Coffee are all takes unless we promised the German we would not take another juco tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be but only until 1 or 2 jump in the boat. FWIW Keith thinks it would be hard to take Coffey now with 2 juco OTs already committed.

Sizzle 3,914 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 If we had to take 1 more then I want Robinson. If we keep all those guys and sign them then that’ll be a nice haul. Robinson would be the cherry on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,100 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I typically agree, but all three have a redshirt year remaining. If we’re considering grad transfers, I’d weigh them against trying to sign Coffey with Buskey and Zierer. Personally, Wright is the more position flexible guy. I’d take him over Robinson. But really, I’d hold out fighting for Morris until he told me to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,270 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I think the coaches have done an excellent job of filling this need assuming all these guys stick with their commitments. We need another HS OT for sure. I don't think it is likely we sign 3 JUCO OTs unless one is very likely to move to an inside spot. JUCOs guys don't want to compete with other JUCOs for spots. Their time window is just too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKEEL75 2,566 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I know that we are likely to only take 1-2 more. If I got my wish list I would take all 4. We currently have 14 commits. That leaves 11 spots. We are looking great at LB, WR & RB. The DBs are a bit sketchy but everyone is saying this is a weak class anyway. So we should have the spots to take the extra two OL and when you look at the success rate of OL prospects it is not great. Between injuries and abilities, I feel like OL is the worst in percentage of hits vs misses. So go ahead and use all 4 spots (if we got them all) and get the cupboard full of talent. Just in case some of them turn out to be more of Ashley type players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,094 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Per JLee we now may take 7 OL at minimum with the 2 high schoolers, Wright & Robinson, being the most likely additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roos 122 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The staff needs to get on Robinson pretty quick as he is leaning to the Vols according the 247 analysis, and I think Robinson maybe the better blocker of the two. anyway.……….
