Top 15 listed

1. Barrett Jones OL Memphis
2. Aaron Douglas TE/OL Maryville UTK commit
3. Chris Jordan ATH/LB Brentwood
4. Preston Bailey OL Nashville
5. Marlon Walls LB Memphis
6. Rodriguez Wilks WR Smyrna
7. David Spurlock OL Murfreesboro
8. Donta Hightower LB Lewisburg
9. Brian Sommer ATH Alcoa
10. Kurt Phillips QB Kingsport Wisconsin commit
11. Ricky Holloway LB Somerville
12. Michael Mcadoo DE Antioch
13. DeAndre Jones LB Memphis
14. Ben Bartholomew RB Nashville UTK commit
15. Tenarius Wright LB Memphis

I know about Jones' family ties to Bama and I've read that Urban really impressed him when he visited UF. I'm still hearing it's a 4-way race though, with UTK, UF, Bama and Auburn. I've read that Spurlock is pretty much between UTK and Bama. So, I guess my quesiton for hv, or whoever, is what kind of shot does UTK have with McAdoo and Bailey?

I think we have a great chance with Bailey. Time will tell with McAdoo

McAdoo will depend on how hard we push. Bailey strikes me as a guy that may hop on a bandwagon, though him playing with Bartholomew will help. i think we land him.

have we got a shot with Sommer or Jordan?

**hvwarrior58** · 06-22-2007, 10:05 PM

Probably, Jordan is a LB but insists on playing RB. Sommer is behind a few prospects on our board.

what we be great is to know who else has already offered these guys

I like Hightower. He is athletic with a big body. I dont have subscriptions to all the recruiting services like HV but I believe it will be down to UT and Alabama for him. I believe he is around 250lbs and would be willing to bet that he gets recruited or moved to DE. He has room to grow in his body and he can move for a man that big.

rogers gaines from white house high school should be on the list he is 6-8 365 he plays on the defense and offense line

govols182 · 07-03-2007, 01:24 PM

How fast is he? If he runs less than a 5.5 he probably won't get any big time offers.

**hvwarrior58** · 07-03-2007, 02:04 PM

Hightower would be a nice land. We just have so many DEs and LBs that have potential in this class that it will be hard to choose who to pursue and who not to.

Dawson · 07-05-2007, 11:17 PM

I bet Hightower's stock rises fast this next year. JMO. You can never have enough big and quick guys who can play DE. He would be a beast at MLB though if he did end up playing that in college. I see him weighing anywhere between 265 and 285 in his college years.

McAdoo is supposed to be on campus this weekend for an unofficial. He could be a good land at TE/DE.

He is a big boy. I saw him play only one game. He uses his size to overpower more than technique.

**hvwarrior58** · 07-06-2007, 02:02 PM

Like alot of kids his age.

you ahould have seen John Henderson in High School. You probably think Im ref'ing his DT play, but Im talking him playing TE at the goal line. You talk about overpowering people, he used to just manhandle guys as he went up for the ball.
