Importance of Final Visits

[jmva1]

With UT getting some very highly touted prospects final visits (i.e. Patrick Patterson, Marlon Brown, Randall Carroll, Alshon Jeffrey, possibly Jelani Jenkins) do you think this could help our chances to land the "big fish" on signing day?

It should. If we land any 2 of the 4 WR's visiting, I would be happy.

Yeah i can't wait for next year.... With the new coaching staff we already have 4 of the top 10 WRs in the class visiting very late in signing season.... Next years possibilities are endless.

Anybody have a list of recruits visiting on the 16th and 30th?

Risk is one of them will have a really good visit with another school and cancel before even getting on campus. If they haven't announced by now then hopefully they'll hold out until signing day. Our advantage is having a full staff on board. It's one thing for Kiffin to say he'll have a great staff, it's another for the recruit to actually meet them face to face in K-Town.

Is it just me but are we leaning very heavy on WR's. I wanna see more DT's and DE's coming for visits

With all due respect AV, i think offense is where we need the most help right now.

Do we have an option at QB that could get these recievers the ball. :no:

 

[Volsfan15]

Yeah, guess the QB option will be next year.

This late in the process, I'll take what I can get. Plus, at this point, there aren't nearly as many DL available as WRs, which is a big reason why you're seeing a lot more receivers than defensive lineman brought in. I'm sure the staff would try to bring in D-lineman if they could. There just aren't that many still out there.
