2014 Junior Days Visitor List

#151
#151
After hosting its first junior day of the year just two weeks ago, Tennessee coach Butch Jones’ staff is scheduled to hold the second of its three scheduled junior days Saturday.

Five-star all-purpose back Taj Griffin of Powder Springs, Ga., is ranked the nation's No. 25 overall prospect in the 2015 class.
An even bigger turnout is expected this time.
At least a few dozen prospects, including almost 20 players who already have received scholarship offers from Tennessee, are scheduled to travel to Knoxville on Saturday for a junior day that will allow them to attend at least a portion of the Vols’ basketball game against Vanderbilt.
The group of visitors is expected to be headlined by five-star junior all-purpose back Taj Griffin of McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Ga., and Top247 junior defensive end Kyle Phillips of Hillsboro High School in Nashville, Tenn., one of Tennessee’s top in-state targets in the 2015 class.
Griffin, who’s ranked the nation’s No. 25 overall prospect and No. 1 all-purpose back by 247Sports, holds more than 25 offers, while the Vols have emerged as one of the early favorites for Phillips, the state’s No. 3 overall player in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.
A couple of other uncommitted Top247 prospects — running back Michael Weber of Cass Technical High School in Detroit, defensive end D’Andre Walker of Langston Hughes High School in Fairburn, Ga. — are scheduled to be in attendance, along with four-star linebacker Quarte Sapp of Milton (Ga.) High School and four-star running back Nick Gibson of Pinson Valley High School in Pinson, Ala.
Three-star wide receiver TJ Rahming of Powder Springs, Ga., three-star lineman Joshua Alabi of Detroit and three-star defensive tackle Quentez Johnson of Cedar Grove High School in Ellenwood, Ga., are among the other early Tennessee targets in the 2015 class who are expected to travel to Knoxville on Saturday.
The Vols also are scheduled to host a handful of prospects who could be on the verge of receiving offers from Tennessee, including four-star defensive tackle Quay Picou of Buford (Ga.) High School and three-star defensive end Trevon Hill of Virginia Beach, Va.
A pair of three-star linebackers from Georgia who have drawn early interest from Tennessee, Austin Smith and Montavious Atkinson, are among the other expected visitors from the 2015 class, along with UT commitments Jack Jones, Zach Stewart and Andrew Butcher.
The list of expected visitors even includes some of Tennessee’s early targets in the 2016 class, including quarterback Austin Kendall of Charlotte, N.C., athlete Gabe Angel of Cookeville, Tenn., and running back Robert Washington of Huntersville, N.C.
Several other 2016 prospects who already are drawing interest from major-conference programs are scheduled to visit Tennessee on Saturday, including running back/linebacker Daelin Hayes of West Bloomfield, Mich., athlete Elijah Deveaux of Charlotte, N.C., and linebacker Ethan Tucky of Delaware, Ohio.
The Vols also are expected to host at least a couple of 2017 prospects, including offensive lineman Josh Myers of Miamisburg, Ohio, and 2017 wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones of Detroit.
Here’s a complete list of the scheduled visitors govols247 has confirmed for Saturday’s junior day. As always, this list is subject to change, and it likely doesn’t include every prospect who will visit Tennessee on Saturday.

Anyone want to call a commit this weekend? I'm 50/50 on if we allow Rahming to commit.

I think he's our most likely to commit for sure. I'd like to see Kyle Phillips commit, shut it down, and start to help recruit for the '15 class. Despite him saying he's going to take visits and wait awhile I think there's a chance he might go ahead and commit. Just a feeling.

I'd like to get a little spring momentum like we did last spring with TK Jr, Hurd, and Paulk among others in a two week span.

I updated the OP. There are a couple of anticipated visitors that are making their second visit already and some very high profile guys expected in. I also updated the PDF to show the FEB 15th and MAR 1st list of visitors that were expected.

I wonder if it is coincidence that the Panhellenic preview is this weekend at UT. I am starting to think that Butch thinks of everything.

The nation's top player, Trenton Thompson, was scheduled to be in this weekend but now won't be able to make it to Knoxville and there are others like defensive linemen Jalen Dalton and Elijah Taylor who are certainly possibilities to make it to Knoxville this weekend but weren't confirmed as of Thursday night.

Also, there's still a possibility Giles County defensive back Cameron Ordway makes it to Tennessee on Saturday, although there's also a chance he takes a visit to Auburn as well. That is something we will be watching.

Those aren't the only ones that could possibly be in town this weekend, but those were the confirmed visitors as of Thursday night.
