STOCK RISING

OT Darnell Wright, Huntington, W.Va.
Wright, a five-star prospect and longtime top target for Tennessee, returned to Knoxville over the weekend for the fourth time in less than a year and the second time since coach Jeremy Pruitt’s hiring. The recent buzz surrounding Wright already had suggested that the Vols were one of the teams to beat for him, if not the slight favorites to land him. Getting Wright back on campus with his mother, who previously hadn’t been with him on a recruiting visit, was another big step for Tennessee. While he’s nowhere close to a decision, the Vols have put themselves in good shape with Wright.

the five-star rising senior offensive tackle from huntington (w.va.) high school returned to tennessee last weekend, spending nearly two full days in knoxville with his mother, kimberly adams, and both of his younger brothers.

“i had never been there,” adams said. “years ago, i had been to nashville, but not knoxville, so it was a new experience for me and my younger kids, as well. We had a great time. “i just fell in love with the city. I really did not want to go back to west virginia. But it was really a nice city, and everyone was so friendly — not just the coach and wife. They were great. But it was outside of the college, the little shops we went in. Everyone’s just so friendly on the street everywhere. It was a real good experience.”

over the weekend, adams said she was eager to “just get to know everyone” at tennessee, get a firsthand look at the vols’ facilities and see “how their program is lined out.” the highlights of the trip, she said, were “the city in itself” and “just the friendliness of everyone,” including tennessee’s staff. Traveling from west virginia to knoxville allowed showed her that “it’s not a bad drive at all” and that wright “would not be that far from home at tennessee. For me, that’s a big thing, too — the distance,” adams said. “really, what stood out is how friendly just the whole city was — i mean, not the whole city, but where we were at. It’s just a real friendly atmosphere and family atmosphere.”

“he has to put the dedication and the hard work in, and he’s the one that has to go to the school that he chooses,” she said. “the only thing i can do is give him my best advice, so ultimately, i think, in the end it’s his decision. It’s totally his decision — with my input. But i want him to go where he feels comfortable, where he’s happy.”

More Crystal Balls should come up in our favor. Momma's know their good sons do what they want them to do. If she says she don't want him far away, he'll be a Vol.

Seriously though.... could you imagine Wanya and Wright in the same class? What an OL haul.

And no disrespect to Lampley because he’s going to be a good one.
