Signing Class Report Card:  Tennessee

Signing Class Report Card: Tennessee

Biggest Needs: On Offense, Tennessee was a relatively young team in 2010.  Starting with the O-Line, the Vols only lost one lineman in Jarrod Shaw.  The one place where there was a lot of experience was in the receiving corps.  WR Gerald Jones, WR Denarius Moore, and TE Luke Stocker …

Signing Class Report Card:  LSU

Signing Class Report Card: LSU

Biggest Needs: LSU graduates only one guy off the O-Line, but Joseph Barksdale is a big loss.  When looking at the offensive backfield, the early departure of running back Stevan Ridley stings.  However, Spencer Ware’s late season performance really showed what is coming back next year.  At WR, Terrence Tolliver …

Signing Class Report Card:  Florida Gators

Signing Class Report Card: Florida Gators

Biggest Need: The Gators head into the offseason replacing 4 starters on offense, 3 of which are on the offensive line (Pouncey, Gilbert, and Johnson).  Carl Moore is the lone major receiver departing, but his 349 receiving yards will probably be pretty easy to replace.  Backup running back Emmanuel Moody …

Signing Class Report Card:  Ole Miss

Signing Class Report Card: Ole Miss

Biggest Needs: It seems that the theme of offensive needs in the SEC has been on the O-Line this year.  However, that is not the case for Ole Miss.  The Rebs have no Seniors on the 2-deep O-Line depth chart.  Really the only losses on offense are QB Jeremiah Masoli …

Signing Class Report Card:  South Carolina

Signing Class Report Card: South Carolina

Biggest Needs: South Carolina’s needs are very similar to the needs of Arkansas.  The Gamecocks graduated 5 O-linemen (3 starters) and 2 Tight-Ends.  The really bad news is that the whole left side of that O-Line is gone, and finding a LT in the SEC can be a difficult task.  …

Signing Class Report Card:  Arkansas

Signing Class Report Card: Arkansas

Biggest Needs: Arkansas lost three Starters on the offensive line to graduation.  Add in one more O-Lineman on the 2-deep depth chart, and that total jumps up to 4 offensive linemen.  To make it seem a little worse, the Razorbacks lost tight ends D.J. Williams and Ben Cleveland.  Not only …

Signing Class Report Card:  Vanderbilt

Signing Class Report Card: Vanderbilt

Biggest Needs: A 2-10 football team needs help all over the field.  Vandy did not have a receiver or running back to catch or rush for over 500 yards.  That’s where I will focus this report. Needs Met: Vandy did not sign one true WR in this class, but they …

Signing Class Report Card: Kentucky

Signing Class Report Card: Kentucky

Biggest Needs: 3 out of Kentucky’s 4 starting defensive Linemen were graduating Seniors, and two of them were interior guys.  The Wildcats starting running back and fullback were both Seniors.  However, the biggest loss for Kentucky was WR Randall Cobb going pro.  WR Chris Matthews graduated, so both outside Receiver …
