Ok we very good a chance to finish really strong here is how i see us closing based on what i've seen

1. Green RB-All signs point to us being the leader and even if he loves mich, the presser from his parents should keep him in driving distance. And OCI says hes ours.

2. Turman RB-based on what OCI has said he probly has commited to the staff.

3. Bell S-grew up a UT fan plays in GA but lives in Tennessee the chattanooga area the same part of chatt town as me and from there its an hour and a half to knoxville going the speed limit. I've made it in 1:15 easy, alot of people predict him to go to UT but rumor is bama could sway him. But i see him as a vol.

4. O-line from HI- I am bad with names and dont care about looking it up lol. from all accounts he is a lock that is annoucing at an all-american game.

5.North WR-He would be a huge get at WR and skeeter said that he will commit on his offical.

6. wilson TE-idk much about him but i know hes a athletic big guy that doesn't have to may offers but the coachs love him and we need a TE.

The past 2 spots could be taken by a number of recruits.

I hope that lawson and Johnson are the final 2 but
idk if lawson will decommit from auburn or not.

Johnson was a silent i believe but if he comes to TN he won't be a starter. But at GA he'll probly start. so i see him at GA.

Rump WR- if we pull in him and North all i can say is WRU! baby!

theres alot of other prospects that could jump in. Some of our recruits might not qualify, and some may be droped for better players. But if the first 6 i stated happen we are looking at a top 10 class.

God I hate seeing this. With names like Turman, Ngakoue, Kohler (sp?), Lawson, Green, North, Rumph, Strong, Turman, Crayton, Bell, Gray, Jackson, Johnson, and Garland very interest in Tennessee it is appalling me to know that we have players like Kendrick and Barnes committed.

I know it's not likely that Patrick will make it in and that'll give us a spot to work with but I'm sure there are names out there we haven't even heard yet that will show interest in us before NSD. I just don't understand why we take so many early commits (other than the mandatory summer melt downs for lack thereof).

It's not even a big deal... If much better recruits at the same positions wanna commit, we will give the lesser talent the boot... It's just how it works.. It's a business in this league.

We need pass rushers and LBs. Who can play. Guess it is back to HCC. We got CP from there.

Don't know why everyone thinks we getting or taking Wilson. Given his final three, I think he would've committed already.

If we could pull Green, North, and Rumph, we will be looking very good. We need to keep the WR's coming in with the chance of us not having Hunter or Patterson- or both next year. Hopefully we will just lose Hunter, but if Patterson continues to evolve, he will be gone as well and we will all of a sudden be in dire need of WR's.

I know what u mean...If we went into this time of year with 4-5 commits, the fan base would spaz out & have a total meltdown! Theyd be hollering to fire the coach, regardless of who it was. Thats why a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

These things tend to work themselves out as time goes on...I don't recall any time where we actually had to tell a talented player "no" in the last 3 years. Correct me if I'm forgetting...

Patterson has to show he can catch the big one. He has some high profile drops, which hurts his stock according to some.

Not to poke fun at a player but I wonder how Otha feels about the dumpster fire that is his team.

He's thinking that the last phone call he took before he jumped ship ...

The one where the guy on the other end said... "Hey, their coach won't be there next year!"

Must've been talking about Petrino instead.

I think it's more like a final 10... I think Patrick doesn't qualify and therefore is dropped...and history alone says we will lose at least 1 and drop at least 1...

With that being said I'd like to see the following 11:

Green
North
Koehler
Derwin Gray
Turman
Rumph
Wilson (Weaver if we could flip him)
Johnson
Bell
Ngakoue
Garland

Drop: Barnes and Patrick
Lose: Miles

Green
Turman (if not Turman then Williams)
North
Rumph
Bell
Levenberry
Ngakoue
Lawson (flipped)
Crayton

lose nobody but pass on one.

This is pretty much my prediction and hope for the last spots. The toughest get here could be flipping Lawson but it's still a possibility. Overall this would solidify a high potential class of freshmen

Question for everyone. Who will be our nose tackle recruit for this class? Seems like we need one more solid nose to really make the 3-4 work next year. Rod Crayton?

Ben Bradley is one of them...JUCO guy from Hutchinson, originally from Norcross, GA. If Crayton chooses TN, I don't know if our plans for him are at NT and/or DE. He would be a DT when we go to a 4 man front.

Thx. Did not know if we were recruiting one out of high school. I would have thought we would

Crayton seems like a DE in 3-4. Phillips and Bradley would probably be NT, maybe Obrien?
