Looks like it's official

Per the WWL, though with the way things have gone the last few days, perhaps we should wait for confirmation that the name is, in fact, on the paper.

I like Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There aren't many like me, and they're probably better off for it.

You can trim down DEs into OLBs and shift guys inside, too.

assuming those two, we have four spots left

there’s Davis, who is now rumored to sign with Wake Forest but had looked like a Vol for a couple weeks, there’s Leggett, who is Vol or Marshall depending on grades.

some are still holding out hope for Otha Peters. That situation is weird. Rumors are that he liked the parties at Arkansas and committed without his parents’ approval, but that his parents also don’t want to just make the decision for him. Beniquez Brown is a long shot (presumed Mississippi State silent) but is announcing today. That other linebacker from Jacksonville (Cincy commit) will visit us over the weekend and make a final decision next week

I read part of his decision

To go to Arkansas had to do with him hearing that Dooley would be gone after next year. The local media sure helped with this one. I like how Croom’s mom said she had heard that from a lot of places and just decided to call Hart herself to hear his thoughts. Of course what would you expect Hart to tell the parents of recruits. Either way we’ll be fine at LB as long as we can get some good ones next year. Anyone hear how Lathers recovery is coming along?

Back to the previous point on Kentucky's recruiting

When we say they’re last in the SEC, it’s not one of those “14th in the SEC, 25th overall!” things. The Top 10 SEC schools are all in the Top 30 nationally in Rivals. From there though, MSU 35, Ole Miss 45, Mizzou and UK not ranked in the Top 50. Mizzou will rise with that WR signing though.

that means that you average one SEC team every four slots until you run out of SEC teams. That’s a really good mark when you have 6* BCS conferences and a few really good midmajors.

so I think this confirms Baggett not being a big deal on the trail

If I cared more about my UNC side, I'd call myself "Tar Volon," and that'd be awesome.

Greetings from Tunica

Just popped on here to see if there was any good news, and got some when I heard about Patterson. Maybe we’ll finally be able to run decently, now that we’ll actually have some threats for Bray to heave it to downfield if opposing D’s put 9 in the box….

Anyhoo…off to get some food, then blackjack and poker. I’ll pop back in later to see what our final tally is…

GBO!

we've pretty well slowed down

all of our targets either have their LOI in, have gone elsewhere, or have said they’re waiting until after NSD
