Matt Barkley??? Just read in another thread

[BigOrangeBob]

that if Kiffin is hired, he wants an official visit. Can anyone validate that, or is it just a rumor? He is THE #1 prospect in the country. Sorry if this has already been posted, but to say the least, it has peaked my curiosity.

I just read it this morning after a post about Lane Kiffin. So I went to all the recruiting pages and apparently he has listed TN as a possibility depending on the coach.

[wfordiii]

pipedream. Although it would be nice if it did actually happen.

[Bassmanbruno]

Oh snap. I saw a special on his Mater Dei team or whatever on CBS the other day. I'd pee my pants if we got Kiffin then got this guy.

[BigOrangeBob]

Great to hear!!!! I can only imagine what our ranking "could" be if this somehow happened(landing Barkley). I believe we would keep Oku as well, and maybe land one or two of the BIG NAME receivers. Oh the possibilities......:D

what would that mean for Boyd?

As I40 said, competition. Will he stay committed? That is the question. I would take either of them at this point.

No way in hell we will get this guy to come to UT. It's a nice thought, but it just isn't going to happen.

[VOLNBAMA]

he considered us before he committed to USC. Honestly there's about a 1% chance he actually changes.

[Grateful Vol]

We've seen alot of top recruits transfer from USC due to top-notch depth at skill positions. Think about it, USC has Barkley and Mitch Mustain. Gonna be a while til he can start at USC. He could start at UT from day one on the other hand.

Don't want to sound too excited though, b/c I really like Tajh Boyd.

[VOLNBAMA]

Mustain will never start at USC.

[9296potsguy]

He still has recruiting trips to ND and Texas. I think visiting us would put him over his limit.

[Bassmanbruno]

I think he can afford to take an unofficial. Kid is probably loaded judging by the high school he goes to... or he could be on a full scholarship or something dunno.

[Axlechaos]

Yes it would be nice to get Barkley but i think Tahj Boyd is the guy we want to keep commited he has a good arm and can make all the passes and his speed can make him an elite QB.
