| Many teams commitment list grew over the last couple weeks when they had their spring games. UT's is this weekend, I suspect a commitment or two will happen. But even if that doesn't happen, I'm not too worried. At this point in the last two recruiting cycles the commitment list was basically empty and in this class there are already four very good prospects committed. |

I wouldn't be as concerned if the LBs and OLs on our board stopped committing elsewhere or naming others their leader.
It will work out |

I have heard very little recruiting news with us lately other than someone committed somewhere else or the only two names that I have heard vising recently or might be committing to us very soon is two people that seem borerline recruits. Maybe these are role players to start the base of recruiting or they see more in them than other elite schools. My main point is I have heard recruiting news for other teams more than for Tennessee in the past month. | |

Also, this week is the beginning of coaches being allowed to travel to HS's, evaluate players, and talk to coaches. They still can't talk to the kids other than the 'bump rule'. But they can talk to coaches. You will start to hear much more about UT and recruiting very soon... | |

| Clemson offered. Still open. Really focused his consideration on the schools that have verbally offered at this point. | |

| Yep. His strength level needs serious improvement. He is athletic and has good upside but he could probably benefit from a RS IMO. | |
