Tennessee Top Players

[tcamom]

you should see what he looks like after only a couple months in the weight room

Next fall he really will be a beast

More people should look at the clip on rivals - It is amazing what he does at his size

 

 

We get to play Manassas next season. I am looking forward to seeing OC's development, but am a little anxious about my son being on the field against him!! Of course, he will have bragging rights with his children: " I played against OC Brown when I was in high school".

1. Barry Brunetti QB MUS Clearly #1 His highlights on Rivals are incredible.

2. O.C. Brown C/G Manassas. Not the best player (yet) but best athelete for any 300 lb+ in the country (including d-lineman). Check out youtube.

3. James Stone T Maplewood Solid and already has many offer.

 

At least the good fowlkes @ Rivals Volquest agree w/me on Brown and Stone. Read the bottom paragraph.

Talk about it in The General's Quarters

While quarterback is a huge need in the upcoming 2010 class for Tennessee, it's obviously not the only need. In fact, it may not be the biggest need for Lane Kiffin's offense.

 

While finding and landing a quarterback in the coming months is going to draw most of the attention. The guys in the trenches, or lack of them at the moment, is drawing major worries.

 

 

 

Four seniors including McClendon make offensive line recruiting a priority in 2010.

If Darris Sawtelle makes it back from double shoulder surgery and if Preston Bailey is a part of the team, the Vols would have 13 scholarship lineman for this fall. But speculation continues about Bailey's future and Sawtelle's injury issues have many wondering if he will ever be a factor. If those two are not part of the equation and you throw in the fact that there will be four scholarship senior offensive linemen this season on the roster, it's conceivable that come next December, Kiffin could be working with just seven scholarship offensive linemen on his football team.

 

For the class of 2009, linemen were a priority. At one point while assembling the class Tennessee had four offensive linemen committed and were thought to be the leader for two more elite prospects in Morgan Moses and Peter White.

 

But the staff transition hit the offensive line position as hard as any. Valdosta, Ga. tackle Antonio Foster decommitted early and never truly listened to the new staff. Then, Aubrey Phillips decommitted after a month of waffling, finally choosing Florida State. Peter White stayed home to go to Maryland and Morgan Moses followed former Tennessee assistant coach Latrell Scott to Virginia.

 

Kiffin admitted on signing day that he was tempted to take a chance or two on some offensive lineman, but decided against it. When you breakdown the numbers, the temptation for Kiffin was obvious. One wonders if this spring on the practice field, Kiffin doesn't have to try to audition any able body somewhere in the offensive trenches and off the practice field, Tennessee will have to focus just as much on the offensive line if not more than any other spot on the roster despite the headlines that the quarterback position will receive.

 

For the Vols, that means instate recruiting for the class of 2010 is even more important as Maplewood High School (Nashville) lineman James Stone and Manassas High School (Memphis) lineman O.C. Brown are not just the top two offensive linemen in state, but they are also two of the top 3 or 4 players in state at any position.
