You'd be wrong. The self imposed the limitations for the Whitney Hotel deal. That, combined with limited seniors in their class this year (4?) has them pretty tight on scholarships this coming year.

South Carolina loses scholarships but avoids postseason ban in NCAA investigation - CBSSports.com

I stand corrected. Didn't hear about all of that. Thanks.

The Hilton Head, S.C., native is a defensive lineman that has been linked to the Vols for some time now, but even when it has seemed like Tennessee was the leader for Ford, nothing has yet to matriculate in terms of a verbal commitment. And the longer things go with Ford, the better that is for the home-state Gamecocks. Louisville has jumped in the race recently as well for Ford as it's somewhat of a three team race right now. One concern is Ford's height as he's measured in short of 6-feet several times and that causes concerns for a few teams and likely Tennessee.

Jones had a 5'8" NT at CMU and UC (same guy). Notre Dame has a 5'11" NT. If you can play, they don’t care how tall you are. And there’s also a specific advantage for that position for shorter guys.

Has Poona set a date yet?

Doubt Poona would play NT for us though. He's a DT.

Do you happen to know who the 5'8'' guy's name is? Am curious

John Williams. He transferred from CMU. And his profile probably says something like 6'1" but he’s not anywhere neat that. But you can’t measure heart.

Time for us to get a DT commit from somewhere.

I think Ed "Too Tall" Jones was under 6 feet.

When he was 11.

Not sure what happened here but I'm starting to think we aren't taking/getting this guy.

Yeah, it's starting to get that kind of feel to it

The disadvantage comes when pass rushing. But I'd still take this guy.

Very this. But Ford has that dog in him, and some God-blessed arms. A little bit of John Randle in him.

Yeah, I think he was seen over at 'Cock Talk' or 'Cardinal Sin'

Last he told me is that it will be between UL and UT.

I just don't understand why he is so adamant it won't be SC when literally everywhere else says it will be a TN-SC battle.

The good thing is that their is only one thing they all agree on...UT is in it!
