I love that this staff is getting this class taken care of now. More time to get 2011 ready and of course there will be some turning of commits later in the year.

Pretty close.

I think they'd like another QB but I dont think they will get one. They aren't going to take someone just to take him.

I say 1 RB, 3 OL, 1 WR, 1 CB, 1 S, 2 LB, 1 DL...

I wouldn't rule out another TE if they find one they really like. Same with possibility of 2 more DLineman.

All I can really say is that he did not know that Tyler Bray committed to Tennessee and said that was huge and big time. He knew actually knew who Bray was even before this. He has not made any silent commitment to anybody and is just taking his time.

Wow how could he not know Bray committed? The staff should have made that clear as soon as it happened or at least had Bray calling him if they want him that bad. Not saying they dont want him but you would think they would have been on top of that...

I think the only thing left to worry about is some negative recruiting from the standpoint that coaches are going to remind our WR commitments that just because we played freshmen this year at WR doesn't mean we're going to keep doing that when we settle down into our system and "find our guys." They may say, "what are they going to do, sit Teague, Richardson, Moore, Warren, and Rogers and run 4-5 WR with nothing but freshmen? No. We have one spot open, just for you."

I think there are a couple of these WR's that are immovably solid, but someone like a Cobbs would worry me a little as we got near NSD.

I don't think the coaches are telling recruits that at all. Kiffins philosophy hasn't changed and that is the best player will play. competition is what drives this team to improve and so far has been successful. you take that competition away and complacency starts to set in as we saw during the end of the Fulmer years. These guys know what they are doing.

I'm not talking about UT coaches, I'm talking about other school's coaches who still want to target the WR's we have committed. 17 year old high schoolers have proven to be a impressionable bunch at the least, seeds like this are how flips around signing day get started. Kiffin may still mean that freshmen can play if they put the time in, but other coaches are going to point out that even if you played your butt off there's only so much room.

I really think we should put cobbs at LB. Just hear me out, with all the WR we got and are planning to get we should be good there. With MK's tampa 2 defense we need fast LBs. Moving an athlete like cobbs to LB with his 6'2 200 frame would be an ideal fit. He could easily gain 25 pounds.

the best players will play. Everyone starts out even, and people earn their spots. They either beat someone out, or wait for their turn. Not all recruits are going to look away from a college just because they can't play their freshman year.

No one said all recruits do that.

But every year almost every school loses a couple of guys due to a change of heart, a better impression elsewhere, a coaching change or staff change, more opportunity to gain playing time, or a promise to play their desired position. I am just saying, Tennessee is out there hitting receivers hard this year. We have two freshmen playing significantly, three current committments, Cobb on the fence, and rumors abound that we're still talking to some receivers. We'll still have Gerald Jones and Brandon Warren.

We cannot play naive and assume no coach (again, not every coach) recruiting these kids is going to leave this simple stone unturned when they are calling them. They're going to say a pro-set offense calls for really 2-3 receivers and even in a pretty heavy rotation things would be getting thick.

It's just something to watch for.

Under Armour All-American athlete DeMarco Cobbs scored on an 83-yard kickoff return and rushed for touchdowns of 15 and one yards in Tulsa Central's (Tulsa, Okla.) 53-0 shutout of Oklahoma City Northeast (Oklahoma City, Okla.), the Tulsa World reports.

The uncommitted ESPNU 150 prospect carried just seven times for 60 yards (8.6 average) before leaving the game in the third quarter.

Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops was in the crowd for Cobbs' 2009 season coming-out party.
