But, unfortunately, Auburn's Junior Day this weekend will be much bigger than UT's Junior Day next weekend. Auburn will have like 12 4* prospects including UT prospects Carl Lawson, Tyshon Dye, Jordan Wilkins, DeMarcus Walker, Hunter Bivins, and Von Bell. Shaq Wiggins, Cameron Toney, and 2014 recruits Kelly Jr. and Elliot & Evan Berry will also be there.
I think UT is slowly going in the right direction, but right now UT still isn't attracting the top recruits like Alabama, Florida, LSU, UGA, and Auburn are in the SEC. UT HAS to start producing on the field to pass any of those teams in recruiting success. These 18 year old kids don't give a damn about 1998 anymore. Because of UT's history, tradition, and facilities they can still nationally do well in recruiting, but until UT starts winning again they will always be around 5th or 6th in the SEC.
EDIT: LynxVol, the last part of the post wasn't directed towards you. Just went off topic there for a little bit. |

| With that being said, UT's Junior Day certainly won't be a terrible one. Paul Fortenberry of VQ seems to think UT and Coach Dooley prefer a small number of prospects at junior days.
UT will have some of the same kids Auburn will have this weekend. Lawson, Dye, Bivins, Bell, and Toney will all be at UT the following weekend. As will Kelly Jr. I'd really like to see the Berry twins there though. I think that would say alot. |

| Also, a poster on VQ "claims" that he talked to Vonn Bells brother last night & that his brother told him that him & his family are very upset that Tennessee wasn't the first to offer Bell. |

I'd be very surprised if they were "very upset" about that. We got in on him pretty much when everybody else did, give or take a week or so. |

| Take all that BS with a grain of salt. Some people over there are reliable. Others, not so much. |
