Alright guys, I got an update from the reliable poster on the ESPN Vol boards that I mentioned a day ago. TIFWIW

" Green was pretty much a done deal before the coaching change, not so sure now. i know cdd has had contact with him. just havent heard a whole lot lately, all the coaches have been gone for the most part. ill probably know more friday/saturday since the coaches will be here meeting with recruits.

james stone is ours now, the previous staff thought he was overrated and was slow playing him.

we're not out of it with rogers, until you hear him say otherwise i wouldnt put to much stock in the so called reports. His hs coach is very upset with tennessee.

oh yeah, another bit of bad information out there pretty much started by rogers hs coach along with uga fans. Cheney wants nance even if rogers doesnt come. the hs coach has said we'll only take him if rogers comes with him, thats not the case. cheney likes nance and thinks he will make a fine qb. so no its not a package deal."

We'll see what happens I guess. Once again, TIFWIW.

I too find the Stone tidbit very hard to believe. He openly stated his dislike of the staff's attitudes and "motivational" tactics. This according to his coach, who said that if Lame was still here we wouldn't even have a chance with Stone. He really seems to like DD and I tend to believe the notion that he was cold on the previous staff more so than they were cold on him. Granted, I could be wrong, but I believe several prospects are in the same boat as Stone, including a guy like Rogers.

Not saying your info is wrong, but I think we have a better shot at getting Rogers and Nance IMO. From what I've heard, we still have a chance with Stone, but he's expected to go to bama.

i thoroughly dislike the idea that coaches are involved in the recruiting process. they have an agenda and a bias. it sometimes sucks that parents and family make strong pushes for other schools instead of staying back and letting their kid chose, but its family, what can you do?

the fact that writers even qoute coaches makes me want to punch somebody in the face. gtfo, your a high school coach. nobody cares what you think. try and get your players film out there, not sway them to who you want them to go to. petty crap.

And from the Facebook NCAA violation thread, if that coach has every bought a Bama t-shirt, it should be a recruiting violation, as he qualifies as a booster.

4. Da'Rick Rogers, WR:

In the mix: Tennessee Volunteers, Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide, Florida Gators, Mississippi State Bulldogs, West Virginia Mountaineers, USC Trojans

Just as fast as the Vols seem to be fading with Ambles, they could be surging for Rogers, the country's No. 6 WR. Another Georgia product, Rogers has been committed to Georgia since last June. And it appeared that the Dawgs had him locked up. But Tennessee made a hard run at him, and politically this battle sounds messy. Earlier this month, then Vols recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron had an in-home visit with Rogers' QB Nash Nance, who was committed to Vandy. Rogers was there too, and Orgeron reportedly invited Nance and Rogers to visit Knoxville. That did not sit well with the players' coach Hal Lamb, whose dad Ray Lamb is actually in charge of high school relations for UGA football.

"I heard that Orgeron was over there [at the Nances] yesterday and offered Nash but I didn't know anything about Da'Rick," Hal Lamb told the AJC on Jan. 6. "I haven't talked to anybody from Tennessee. They did that behind my back and I'm not happy with them."

Orgeron and Kiffin, obviously, had left for USC, but Vols assistant Jim Chaney has been persistent and has developed a relationship with both Nance and Rogers and Nance's dad, Mike, a one-time basketball recruit. Both players visited UT last weekend and Rogers said he liked it, according to Chip Towers:

Rogers went on to cite much of Baggett's resume, that he'd tutored Randy Moss, Cris Carter and Chris Chambers in the NFL and Plaxico Burress and Andre Rison in college. And he talked about Dooley's NFL experience under Nick Saban and leading Louisiana Tech from obscurity to its first bowl game in seven years in only two seasons.

Rogers also did say he was still committed to UGA. On Tuesday, Mark Richt used his one visit to Rogers. Apparently, some UGA fans are fretting now more than ever since Rogers removed the profile picture on his Facebook page of him in a Georgia No. 3 jersey. As the AJC points out, he would be unable to wear No. 21 at Georgia because it was retired for 1940s star Frankie Sinkwich. But that number is available for him at UT, Rogers told the paper.

My guess: Tennessee.
