Actually, both Byrnes boys are Vols

I thought they were twin brothers with the last name of Byrnes. It took me a minute to figure it out. Obviously, I don't follow recruiting very closely.

Great to have some good news after a tough weekend.

Considering they're on the outside of Byrnes' d-line, they could be a force here. Considering one is 250 while the other is around 225, they may be different styles. Could you imagine sending opposite styles from the edges?

What amazes me is you picked up commits after losing a game against an inferior team, and had fans booing during the game. Lane must really be working it up there.

Good question, it will get interesting. Could be a RS Soph when Bryce leaves. Seemed like he was leaning toward Auburn but this will definitely help us.


Another thing I wanna bring up. This is our 3rd and 4th DE commitments this year, I feel like we need to focus on the OL, because face it our OL struggled yesterday. Granted all 4 DEs that are committed are great and Im glad that we have them but do you guys think this staff will move one to LB or DT? Jacques Smith is supposely a great TE and that is something we do not have right now at the moment and they fit right in Kiffin's system. At least they are supposed to. With James Stone being an in-state kid Im surprised that he hasn't committed to TN yet if he's coming. Longer and longer he doesn't commit the more and more I think we don't secure him.

I'm pretty sure Willis will be a DT.

HUGE!!!! Man, now need major help on the O-Line(J. James, J. Stone, Z. Tait, etc). Throw in a couple more LBs/DBs and DeMarco Cobbs and this would be one of our best classes ever. This is definitely shaping up to be a possible top-3 class. Another plus is that many of our verbals are planning on trying to graduate early so they can enroll in January. Much shorter time to compete with other schools for their services that way. Get em on campus and begin coaching them up...we all know we need em!! GO BIG ORANGE!!!! Reel em in guys!!!!

Guys this is great news no matter how good or bad this season gets we need to show support for this team if we don't we will start losing some of these recruits. I would say with these 3 commits they really loved the support we gave the team yesterday. This electricity in the stadium has to continue no matter what happens. :rock:

Willis is actually the #4 DT prospect in the country per Scouts, #53 in the ESPNU 150, and #38 in the Rivals 100.

+1 on your post. however i have spoken with one of my friends who is a huge noles fan and has a subscription to war chant and says that he believes both of these guys will be noles on signing day from what he has read since they commited to UT
