Damn, that's nice. We're in good position for Thomas too, right?

Yea, definitely top 2-3 at worst for Thomas, Huffman and Uyalemno right now it would seem.

 

[Fingers]

He came with his parents which obviously suggests things are serious. No commitment or anything like that--will take his time--but gave the trip very high marks.

Had a chance to see the staff work out some of the guys today and liked how they did things.

Biggest news coming out of the trip IMO is that as of right now he and his family say they will return for an official visit in the fall.

Some extra height.

 

[Lefteye]

Definitely a good sign he plans on another visit. Him and Thomas remain my biggest wants in this upcoming class.

Fwiw Raiquan Gary included Tennessee on his "final list" of 13 schools.

Nice.
I would say he is behind Thomas and Uyaelmuno for wants IMO.

1) Uyaelmuno
2) Thomas
3) Gray
4) Stokes
5) Huffman

Believe Huffman is much higher than you think

 

[JohnMcA60]

Believe Huffman is much higher than you think

These were more of an opinion of wants not opinions of where they actually are. Either way I appreciate the input. Huffman is really raw IMO.

I actually think Huffman is more polished than Uyaelunmo or Thomas.

Jmo in order of chances:

Stokes, Thomas, Huffmam, Uyaelunmo, Doumbia, Batts, Polley, Gray, Kigab and Samuels.

Now that's not necessarily order of likeliness to be Vols, but if we push probably the order of our chances with each.
