When can we expect them to start committing? I know we have 3 as of now, all are 3*.

Where are the 4* and better? :)

I know everyone keeps saying they will come...when?

We have so many D-linemen commits that I bet 1 or 2 switch to O-line, and I'm sure we'll get at least 1 more O-lineman in this class. No biggie. I'm not concerned.

GO VOLS!

They will come. Lane and his staff have a lot more up their sleeves. These guys know what their doing.

Believe it or not, we have some young O-linemen left over from the Failmer regime. We're not hurting as much as some of you would like to believe.

With that said, we'll get 1 or 2 more big O-line commits from this class.

some O linemen may be left under Fulmer but lets face it if they were any good they would have made some impression by now...

Kiffin stated before that they are going after more athletic offensive linesman that fit our scheme so they may not be the highest ranked guys. So just because we have some 3* guys right now doesn't mean we are striking out on the O-line.

Zach Fulton, for all intensive purposes, is a four star talent who I could see playing on Sundays. His fellow Illinoisan is also vastly underrated (Matt Milton).

And, again, it is because there are very few 4 and 5 star OL.

IMO...we get James and Cullen...we then take either Stone or Robinson (I think Robinson is the one our staff prefers in this situation)...

Another IMO...Fulton is as close to a 4* as you can possibly get...I don't think there's anyway he doesn't get the 4th star by signing day...

In the end we sign four 4*'s and two 3*'s on the OL....further cementing this as one of the most successful recruiting classes I can remember at UT

Fulton is already a 4* by Scout. He will be by Rivals as well in time.

I say they get 2 more OL for sure, maybe 3 if they can get the JUCO guy they want.

They aren't recruiting Chuckie Curry anymore really.

I like their chances with James and Stone. They'll take Cullen if they can land him.

What OL do we have coming back next year & which of those do you guys think will start?
Click to expand...

Here's who we have coming back (the eligibility is this current year):
OT Jarrod Shaw Jr.
OT Dallas Thomas Fr.
OT Aaron Douglas Fr.
OG William Brimfield So.
OG Cody Pope So.
C Carson Anderson Fr.
OL JerQuari Schofield Fr.
OL Kevin Revis Fr. (likely redshirt)
OL Daniel Hood Fr. (likely redshirt)

I expect Shaw, Douglas, and Brimfield to start. Some of them may be moved around. I think Thomas, Pope, Anderson & Schofield will compete for starting spots as well. I also wouldn't be suprised if some of the 2010 recruits make a push. Also, Josh McNeil may be able to redshirt this year. I am not sure if his knees can handle another year, but it is a possibility.

My question is, is why do lineman wait like this. They are good athletes but they are not 5* playmakers that are wanted by the entire nation. Just think they should go ahead and pull the trigger.

i wish we could get henderson very unlikely but him dyer luc and riggs would give us a number 1 class easily

Ever considered that these guys just don't know where they want to go yet?

We've got to get a boat load of them this year. Wouldn't hurt my feeling if they filled the rest of the class with linemen and maybe add another qb to go along with bray.

Alot of people tend to 4get about morgan moses. Moses was thought to be a UT silent under Fulmer. Now Groh is gone and If UT can beat out NC I think we get em!
