Green-5* RB
North-4* WR
Bell-4* DB
Kamara-4* RB
Koheler-4* OL

Those 5 are the most likely to commit when Gruden announces. Based on their interest in the program and "waiting on a hire" aspect to recruiting.

People to watch ( Have interest in the program)
2013 Class
Lawson-5* DE
Ramsey-5* DB
Alexander-4* DB
Crayton-4* DT
Elijah Daniel- 4*DE
Rumph-4* WR (JUCO)
Smith-4* WR (JUCO)

2014 Class (Most likely to commit in the next several months)
Jalen Tabor
Evan & Elliot Berry
Vic Wharton

Again, these are just based on info out there. The top 5 are the most likely to commit instantly, but honestly, it good be a flood gate for the Vols. Gruden could ask someone of these commits currently to look around. We don't know because we are not the coaches.

I heard today that Henry might be willing to jump from Bama...have you hear anything?
 
Used to go to Hawkeye's all the time for animal hour...3 for 1!

My friends dad owned it...the bartender would make us alcojolic drinks when we were like 12 years old. Not sure why he closed up shop, but he went on to open charlie peppers and then roosters
 
I wasn't going to post anything else from the "ville" but this actually made me kind of mad for some reason.



"all sportswriters know how to do is talk about money, "UT can pay more", etc.

Gruden doesn't need money. He doesn't need "an 8 year deal"

I don't think Gruden wants to go to some ESPN-annointed "top program" where he will be expected to win a national championship in 3 years.

He is more about challenges than that, or smarter. Gruden wants to go to Tenner and have pundits call him "Saban Light" in seven years, even with one national championship? Nah

You gotta know he is intrigued about our program more. More to prove. High risk high reward. Tenner is not high risk high reward. And that's an admission that it's easier - for now - to win a NC at Tenner than here. Won't be that way forever, and I think he wants to make that happen for us."

My friend just bet me 100/1 odds we don't get Gruden. I guess it's not that bad. I'll only owe a $1 if we don't get him
 
I can't even tell you how many Long Islands I made when I was there. Especially pitchers. The pitchers had a 7 count of each liquor.

I still use the Lap recipe for LI's in my bar today!! Fo real!

I remember the Lap. That place was the best. Their LIITs were the best!

Wasn't Arky a top 5-10 team before the season, s'posed to be the year for them?

Pigs, ugh.
 
I do not post much, but I love the fact that Gruden is coming. Living here in Va Tech land, they think TN is a joke. I can not wait to see us rise to power again. Lets take the bull by the horns and shock the US. Virginia and the US the VOLS are back. Go VOLS.
 
You have a wife who graduated from UT. . .you coached there. . .they are offering you more money and better facilities. . .

If it were ever down to us and Arky I feel pretty damn good that it was a split-second decision in our favor.

Something doesn't add up though with him saying no Gruden. There is just so much smoke.

I believe Ainge and LWS have the same source. Both think Gruden has no interest in the college game I have not heard skeeter change his tune either. He also believes Gruden is a pipe dream.
