When can we expect them to start committing? I know we have 3 as of now, all are 3*.
Where are the 4* and better? 
I know everyone keeps saying they will come...when?

I know everyone keeps saying they will come...when? | We have so many D-linemen commits that I bet 1 or 2 switch to O-line, and I'm sure we'll get at least 1 more O-lineman in this class. No biggie. I'm not concerned.
GO VOLS!

With that said, we'll get 1 or 2 more big O-line commits from this class. | |

| some O linemen may be left under Fulmer but lets face it if they were any good they would have made some impression by now...

I know everyone keeps saying they will come...when? | Kiffin stated before that they are going after more athletic offensive linesman that fit our scheme so they may not be the highest ranked guys. So just because we have some 3* guys right now doesn't mean we are striking out on the O-line. | |

| Zach Fulton, for all intensive purposes, is a four star talent who I could see playing on Sundays. His fellow Illinoisan is also vastly underrated (Matt Milton). | |

But I should at least add that there are very few 4 and 5 star OL. I have no idea why, but Rivals just mainly gives all of them 3 stars. | |

I know everyone keeps saying they will come...when? | IMO...we get James and Cullen...we then take either Stone or Robinson (I think Robinson is the one our staff prefers in this situation)...
Another IMO...Fulton is as close to a 4* as you can possibly get...I don't think there's anyway he doesn't get the 4th star by signing day...
In the end we sign four 4*'s and two 3*'s on the OL....further cementing this as one of the most successful recruiting classes I can remember at UT

| Fulton is already a 4* by Scout. He will be by Rivals as well in time.
I say they get 2 more OL for sure, maybe 3 if they can get the JUCO guy they want.
They aren't recruiting Chuckie Curry anymore really.
I like their chances with James and Stone. They'll take Cullen if they can land him. | |
