When it comes to recruiting it really seems like we have a ton of momentum at every position beside DT.

DE, LB and Oline have a lot of promising options out there who are favoring the Vols.

DT is my one worry right now.

I guess I just hate wasting this OL, they deserve a great RB. And we don't have one. I'm not overreacting to spring ball, the WR's will come around and when the freshman get on campus they'll get every opportunity to earn a spot, the D is already better than last year. I just feel like with a really good to great RB we could be a pretty good team in 2013. It's an important piece.

Very fair point. Hate wasting this OL too.

Which OL do we lead for?

Brown, we are in the lead pack for Bars and we have a good one committed now.

That is not a great position but better than what we have for DT.

I guess you could say OL and DT are concerns for sure.

We lead for Davis and Bates at LB and have a ton of other names we are up near the top for.

We lead for Hendrix at DE and are right up there on a bunch of others as well.

I haven't heard of anyone either and I'm anxious for OL, DL, and LBs.

You would think UT could get some big time guys at those positions with what UT currently has on the roster. If your good, your gonna be able to come in and get a lot of PT. It seems like LB recruiting may be looking good, but DL and OL have me worried. Its recruiting though, hopefully things will pick up at those positions.

Honestly, all the worry about rb is a little hyped up imo. With our vet o line, any back you put back there should be able to get chunks of yards. We just probably won't have a ton of busted open long runs this year. I'm not worried that much.

Idk if I can agree with this. A dynamic back, plus our O line would be special. Hell, we don't have an above average guy.

Manning: this is first time we met face to face. Last night I was in his office for an hour talking about his philosophies. He has a plan.

Manning: It's an exciting time for Tennessee football. Please stay committed to the program, he's going to turn things around.

Manning: Jones has it all mapped out. I like his slogans and philosophies. I really like what he is saying.

Manning: Jones says this is the job he wants to retire with at Tennessee. That means a lot

Agree. But there's a big difference in a concern and a major concern.

i agree here - our MAJOR concerns come Fall are

1) can we find speed at LB

2) can we find someone to put pressure on the QB

3) can we find a QB

4) can we find someone that can cover at CB

5) can the offense "get" system, remember CBJ went 4-8 his first year at Cincy


RB talent and depth are much less concerning to me than those things - especially if Lane comes back in the fold
