"(Offensive line coach Sam) Pittman and coach (Darin) Hinshaw are coming up on Wednesday. They said they wanted to see me work in person. I think I need to show them that I'm big enough and good enough to play in the SEC.
"I have been talking a good bit to Jason Carr and Frank Herron," Billingsley said. "I also talk a lot to Jalen Reeves-Maybin. They put us out of the playoffs last year and I got to know him at the U.S. Army All-American combine. We have just stayed in touch since then."
"I hope they like what they see this week and I get an offer," Billingsley offered.

| His contact with TN is increasing. We are going to evaluate him this week and he plans on coming to camp in June to prove himself. He talks to Carr, Herron, and JRM a lot (See a pattern here???). |

Many think we aren't even in Herron's top 5, but what Billingsley said in this quote speaks volumes, I believe. I get the feeling sometimes that these in-state kids have gotten together and said, "hey, we have a great in-state class this year...let's keep it together and go help bring the #1 program in this state back to national prominence."

Posted via VolNation Mobile | I sure do hope your right I would love for over half this class to be from TN. Back in 98 most of your starters were from TN so maybe dooley did his history |

| People wonder why we haven't offered Crane (OL from California), and it's because we have similar in-state talent, which, if/when we land, helps us get the other premiere in-state talent. |

Didn't know we had a true center until this thread came up. Good to see! Posted via VolNation Mobile |

| I have a serious feeling that the athletic budget this year has added a few blackhawk helipcopters and the staff is planning a no holdsbarred air raid on Memphis.
Good luck Boys! |

| Nice film. That offensive line looks well coached. Thing I like about him is he drive blocks with power and good technique, as opposed to crane who tends to get his hands outside.
Check out how he handles the monster tackle at the 5:15 mark. Dude looks about 320 and BB drives him 7 yards off the ball (some help from center but still impressive).
Needs to work on his mobility but I like his potential. He plays just about every position on the line. |

That will change. |

| The whole Herron debate sprung off of the teenage Vandy troll. Things spiraled from there Lynx. Herron definitely has a lot of options but we'll be in that fight to the end. |
