Alright Hulk and TMF (and others)... what are your predictions for the current class and others. Do we sweep what is left (Solomon Thomas, Casey Tucker, Jesse Burkett, Terrence Alexander)?
Burkett is an interesting case. He's the least stealthy stealth in recent memory. Historically most stealths commit when they get their admissions offer, as it is uncertainty about their admissions prospects that prompts them to commit elsewhere, but Burkett has been admitted. Moreover, he was part of the Vandy class that epically collapsed when Franklin went to Penn State. OTOH, it would be awkward if Stanford poached a recruit from Mason (who I think said publicly that he wouldn't go after Stanford recruits, not that there is all that much worry that someone will decomit from Stanford to go to Vandy), even though the process had started long before Mason was hired.
My guess is that we take 3 of 4; Tucker and Thomas, and one of Alexander (if he is admitted) or Burkett. Decent likelihood of a sweep; I think it is unlikely we wind up with fewer than 2.
