[hcplaya40]

add....wes bouterie QB #11 for hardin county.....has visisted many schools....memphis,ark.state,and other SEC schools have come to watch him play....6'6 and a rocket arm...and he can move to be as lanky as he is.....

Where is Van Horn going next year? I've heard some good things about him, but can't find him in any of the recruitiong databases.

itzme, no idea where he will go but somewhere big, probably sec. he has all the tools to be a great player in d-1 well just have to see, dont worry you will see him play on saturdays the nest few years

About Vanderbilt, it would seem they should have an advantage with two of the best players in the country at their positions, the tight end from MBA and the fullback from Brentwood Academy. They should be easy qualifiers too because of the schools they're at.

Scarface-

Come on man. Lay off the Clausens. Casey's little brother may be the QB next year. UT only goes after the best of the best in the state of TN. Glad to see they got a great one in Bolden from Tyner(Chatt) who is the #1 ranked player in TN according to several groups. He's gonna be good!

They told the Bullocks twins from Hixson that they wouldn't take both of them, just Daniel Bullocks..and the one they thought wasn't good enough to play for them, Josh Bullocks, is leading 1-A in interceptions as a sophomore safety at Nebraska (10). They got in too late on Notre Dame receiver Adarious Bowman after out-of-state schools like North Carolina were already contacting him.

Indian-

Didn't know that about the Bullocks. Saw them play a few years ago at Crossville. It is a very inexact science recruiting people. Some plateau out and others just suddenly blossom. Went thru the recruiting process with several family members. You just don't always know.

 

Anywho, thanx for the update.

what about micheal granberry from covington iv heard hes got offers from ole miss, memphis, auburn, and a coupkle other schools.

I am a huge fan of recruiting and thought I would share this information to you guys. Tennessee produces alot of Athletes and it's a shame it's own state school in UT-K doesn't even recruit it. I am glad to see Vandy take interest in TN players. It would really help them. Sorry I left off A few like Stevens and Van Horne. My Fault. That being said, Does Stevens have a list or offers, and has Vandy offered any more of these guys and are any close to commiting. Thanks guys for all of your replies.

Brandon Fanney from Morristown West is being offered by Virginia Tech, Alabama, and several others. No offer from UT yet, but maybe the Vols will open their eyes to him if he performs well at the Blue Cross Bowl Saturday.

Did you guys know that Tennessee counting walk-ons has more players from the state of Tennessee than any other?

 

Here is a post I put on another thread about UT recruiting in Tennessee!

 

If the University of Tennessee recruited just players from Tennessee they would be battling Kentucky & Vandy every year for last place in the SEC East forget about BCS bowls, forget about being on TV every week did you know that out of 12 games this season 6 of those were on National TV and 10 regional games on TV with 2 more on PayPer View thats not including a New Years Day Bowl game!

 

I am looking at the UT Media Guide as I type this UT has including walk-ons (47) players from the state of Tennessee! The next highest is a tie between Georgia & North Carolina with (9). You could make it (48) but they list Jason Hall who played at McCallie in Chattanooga from Marettia,Ga

 

Tennessee selects what players they want to recruit out of the this state! Tennessee High Schools don't face the same competion as they do in states like California, Florida or Texas.

 

The University of Tennessee is one of about a dozen schools who can get players to sign with them from any where on earth they have one player on roster from Hawaii another from both Germany & Canada in the past they have had players from Alaska as well. Tennessee has to recruit players like this if they want to have SEC and National Championships and stay in the Top 10-15 in the country every year!

 

This year Tennessee is going after the few players in the state that can play Div. 1A level college football!

----------------------------------------------------------------

 

Here is a list of the commitments Tennessee has so for! They all ready have (4) players commited from the state of Tennessee & (2) originally from Hawaii.
