Recruiting Update!

[jusdontno]

Reports are Dan Williams DT from Memphis East will become a Vol today.

 

Oher to announce this afternoon, UT or Ole Miss, looking more like Ole Miss with Oher's HS coach offered a job at Ole Miss.

 

Still a lot of big fish in the sea interested in UT including Rivals top 100 guys Turner and Oher along with DT Demarcus Granger, S Kenny Phillips, OL Chris Scott, RB Jonathan Stewart (a long shot because of distance), and DE Ricky Jean Francious.

 

Already committed to UT are 5 Rivals top 100--Crompton, Coker, CB D Morley, C Josh McNeil and LB Rico Mccoy. All Tennessee other commits are 3 and 4 star players.

 

Recruit, Phil, Recruit.

Oher has committed to Ole Miss.

Not only did Tennessee land Dan Williams today, they also landed superstar LB Eugene Hayes from Greenville, FL. Hayes is ranked as the #34 player in the nation, #3 LB in the nation, #1 LB in FL, and the 5th rated player in FL. Many people thought he was a shoe-in at FSU, but he made the surprise decision yesterday on his visit to Knoxville. Tennessee will be loaded at LB in a few years.

 

OLB-Eugene Hayes

MLB- Andre Mathis

Would not be surprised to see Adam Myers-White add 15 or 20lbs and be a OLB especially if UT gets kenny Phillips.

Hayes has also joined Morley trying to help lure Kenny Phillips (who is visiting Knoxville today). Phillips is the #1 Safety in the nation #16 player overall in the nation. He is down to Tn and Miami--He is from Miami, but so is Morley, will be hard to pull him away from Miami, but who knows.

Chris Scott, the #1 rated OG in the nation has committed to UT. With McNeil, Rawls and now Scott, OL class is good even without Oher, will probably add another before they are through.

 

 

Monster class, have more waiting in the wings--if get any of the rest of the "4 star guys"-Kenny Phillips, Demarcus Granger, Vlad Richard, Eugene Hays (who has decommitted at the moment and is undecided), etc. class will be unbelievable.

 

 

Now if Ut can get all the commits signed (next Wednesday is National Signing Day) and add a few more, this could be the #1 ranked class in the nation.

 

 

They are all prospects now, and have never played a down in the SEC--odds are some will not pan out, but when you have 18-20 4 and 5 star guys, odds are many of them will produce big time.

Also add Quan Crosby who was the #1 player in Texas coming out of HS in I think 2001. If we can land him and K. Phillips that will be the starting safeties from day one! thumb

It's good to see UT back in the top 5 recruiting classes. It only leads to future success. This is the most excitement UT has had in a few years.
