Of the three major Vol targets who haven’t announced a time yet, I think Tennessee has a good chance of landing one of them. I don’t think the Vols end up with Thomas, and I think Eddie Smith ends up with Alabama despite the Vols getting a lot of good momentum with him initially.
I do, however, think the Vols can land Emmit Gooden. Throw him in with Quay Walker, Isaac Taylor-Stuart, Taiyon Palmer, Glenn Beal, and Otito Ogbonnia, and I think Tennessee has a pretty solid National Signing Day.
Chances Vols Get Signature of Gooden: 70%
Chances Vols Get Signature of Thomas: 33%
Chances Vols Get Signature of Smith: 15%
