As well as Savage mentioned earlier. If he could actually help us with these guys we would be golden...not to mention have a pipeline into PA. All speculation of course.
Even if Tennessee only gets one or two OLBs they'll still be tremendously deep there.
Davis is off the team.After this season we will have Rico McCoy, Savion Frazier, Marlon Walls, Lamarcus Thompson, and Dorian Davis. I think Frazier might be MLB too. So 4 guys have to play 2 positions. ROLB and LOLB.
I forgot about Josh Hawkins. Will he play MLB or OLB?
We really need atleast 2 OLB in this class.

"He really kind of sealed the deal," Stokes said of Scott, the first-year UT assistant coach. "His personality, his style, his fairness, I have an opportunity to come in and play. That's all I asked for."
I wanted to be the first one. With my status, I think I can help bring other players in.
The statement about thinking he can help bring other players in is key IMO. The Vols needed a Top 100 type prospect to get the ball rolling. I'd expect some other targets to jump on board now since they have to think that they cannot just wait until after the season to decide on UTK and still expect a space to be there for them.
This fires me up, but in all fairness, let's get a kid that didnt have a relative, pastor, or neighbor that played for us. Not saying that the Mark Jones connection devalues this commit, but I want to see the staff reel one in that's based on nothing but their recruiting ability. I know that many of you will go nuts when you read this, but hear me out. We cant count on top flight prospects having a connection to us every year. That being said, I predict big things out of Scott.
I understand your point Rex...but networking=recruiting ability. What we need to do is find that d lineman who is third cousins twice removed from Albert Haynesworth or John Henderson.
How old are Big Cheese's kids now?
Here is the rivals info on Stokes brother Malik Stokes. He is a QB and had pretty good numbers for a sophomore. He is not real tall but would probably be okay for a college QB. My guess is they would probably convert him to WR.

eventually you end up with guys like Jacob Golic commiting to ND. He's a 1 star TE.
no way we could take him. We need to go after players that have absolutely no connection to UT at all to prove the recruiters are doing their jobs.
We did pass on Mayo's brother
