2020 recruiting and commitments
- Thread starter WoadBlue
- Start date
Tennessee OL Ryan Johnson is in the transfer portal. He graduated in 2 and a half years. He will have his Master's this coming May. He will be a 5th year SR for football in 2020. He's got about a year and a half of starting at OG, but I think he's also played some OT. He lost his starting job early this year, but I think he played in every game.

That has been feared by a number of us.
But it is not as if we lost a commitment with that much potential. He was never ours.
Really ticked about not getting Simpson especially at a position of need. What’s our chances of ever landing some stud linebackers again?
It was so long as Clemson hadn't extended him an offer.
On the bright side QB Jefferson Boaz of East Surry set the NCHSAA record for passing yards, Passing TD’s and tied the record for total TD’s in a State Title Game last night in a 56-28 dismantling of traditional 1A power Tarboro.... Gosnell and Stevens has good nights as well catching a lot of those yards and TD’s
And then was just a matter of time until they did. Even if they had not done it before the early signing period he may not have signed early to wait and see if the offer would come....so either way there was a good chance he wasn’t coming here. Dam* you tigers!
He was going to make his announcement on ESPN three days from now, early signing day. He would’ve signed his LOI at the announcement. His commitment to Clemson was anything but assured.
Simpson was ours, provided Clemson didn’t offer. So much for the “Dabo doing Mack a favor by not offering” theory. This last hour offer by Clemson has to frustrate our staff even more. I know it does me because we put a whole lot more time and effort into recruiting this kid than they did.
Guess it just shows the difference in where our programs are right now.

the idea that dabo would reward mack's friendly advice by sacrificing a prized recruit is one of the silliest notions i've ever read on this board.
Here's a complete list of everyone who signed a Letter of Intent with North Carolina today. All but 2 of the Tar Heels' 26 verbal commitments are accounted for. The exceptions are Elijah Burris, who plans to sign in February, and Clyde Pinder, who's likely trying to decide between Florida and North Carolina.

So we haven’t signed any DTs and we NEED them. So what’s pinder wanting the PT is there for the taking.
^Mack said they're going to have to be a really special HS player for us to take another person in this class, since he didn't want to steal from the stacked 2021 class. But also said grad transfers are just a single yr, not impacting 2021.
Z Capers signed with Auburn, Oxendine signed with Kentucky, so I think any 2020 guys are yet to be named.
Lamareon James is still available.

A quality grad transfer on each LOS could help a good deal.
BTW, here's a link to Rivals' rankings for the '20 class by team, individual, and position. I spent some time viewing the position rankings, we really brought in some talent on the defensive line. I expect 3-4 of those guys to play right away and possibly challenge for starting positions.

The GT kicker has made 80.4% of his FGs. Our combined kicking effort last year was 19 for 28 (67.9%). If we had made 80.4% this past year, that equates to an extra 3, 4 made FGs, which certainly could've meant a victory versus VT (and possibly vs App too).
Possibly so but also need help on defense just saying. Congrats to the young man on being a part of the family
WE have another preferred walk on: 6-3 290 OG Chance Carroll of Will;iam Amos Hough in Cornelious NC. He made the Shrine Bowl. Better still, he is HS teammate of 2021 4* RB Evan Pryor.
as a nole Im curious about Carl Tucker.. I was not excited that we were looking to add a 6'1 TE but apparently he is pretty good if Bama wanted him. thoughts? Also, whats up with Ross? He was solid no?
Tucker was inconsistent. Perhaps injuries guaranteed that, but it remains.
If he had decided to play his final year here, he would have been 1 of 2 SR TEs, who between them should have played 95% of the snaps. Tucker seemed to have been a favorite of the Fedora staff, and I wonder if he wanted out because he is not a favorite of the Mack staff.
None of that explains why Bama wants him. He is probably a hair or two short of 6-2. He is limited as a TE by height and inconsistent hands. He is a good blocker but not jaw dropping good. Bama should have 4 or 5 guys on the team with at least that much potential.
With this class pretty much done any idea if there will be any that fail to make it onto campus?
When we took the 3rd commitment from an RB, I expressed doubt about us signing 3 RBs in 1 class and figured the odd man out to be the commitment to the Fedora staff.
