'10 OL T.J. Leifheit

[g8terh8ter_eric]

well this is not one of those times. so if leifheit commits, does that push james away from us?

No, and I think it's become obvious that James is not a lock for us at this time.

 

[Indianavol4eva]

whatever you say eric. We shall see soon enough.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

whatever you say eric. We shall see soon enough.

Have you actually read the article that came out after his visit this weekend to UGA?? James isn't going to do anything for at least a month or so.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Actually it's 3-2 UGA in watching us and them play. He was at the UT-FL game.

 

[MikeHamiltonFan]

Kiffin would encourage a guy to take a free trip to Cali, see the Hollywood sign etc.

It is only Saban and losers like that who push hard against kids taking visits.

 

[Lord Vader]

DeMarco Cobbs sure didn't have a problem with committing to us and not visiting OU, IIRC. Sometimes when people visit, it's because they are actually interested.

Cobbs had been to OU before...

James is a Vol Lock...

 

[LittleDTO]

I would say heavy lean to the VOLS. Regardless, it is all speculation anyway.

 

[onevol74]

Will TJ be a tackle or guard? I think James would be a LT. I can't wait to see those two on the field together.

 

[Montrell Hardy]

Will TJ be a tackle or guard?

Guard

 

[OrangeinmyVeins]

He will be a tackle in my opinion, 6'7 300 pounds is a perfect offensive tackle build.

 

[onevol74]

That would depend on how good he is with his feet. He would have to move pretty well to be a tackle in this conference.

 

[matts42012]

Guard

No way, he will be a tackle. Him and Moses will prolly be tackles, Fulton will be a guard. James can play either with Jose Jose at center or guard.

 

[TNVol92]

The coaches were very surprised he showed up. This looks great for us.

 

[LittleDTO]

I expect him to get a shot at tackle but suspect he will end up at guard. CLK likes quick athletic tackles. If you like the progress of Aaron Douglas at tackle, I am betting Daniel Hood ends up there as well.

 

[utVOLman]

great news on the unofficial...

still think it is hard to pull him from UNC, but we will see...

also says USC is in his final 3, so we have some stiff competition for his signature.

 

[TheMayja]

He has the size of a tackle but who knows about the athleticism. He could be a massive road-grader at guard. Kiffin did switch Robert Gallery to guard while he was at Oakland. Gallery is 6'7 325, was drafted to play tackle, and has played at a pro bowl level since making the switch.

 

[Lord Vader]

The coaches were very surprised he showed up. This looks great for us.

Even though he said a couple of days before that he was coming? lol...

 

[griddie]

TheMaya you just hit the nail on the head with that reference. T.J. will likely play guard and he mashes everything in his path and enjoys doing it. He's just one heck of a drive blocker and can dominate.

 

[vols5790]

USC aint in it much IMO. Its def a UT/UNC battle.

 

[MiramarVol]

Yea it's gonna be UT/UNC, but with him making another visit here makes our chances look very good. All the games he could go to, plus UNC is alot closer to Wilmington. But, he still chooses to come to K'Town and watch the mighty Vols beat AU. It would be priceless if the staff could get a Sig out of him while he's visiting.

 

[Sabanocchio]

Leifheit has a top 3 of UNC, Tennessee and Southern Cal. This is going to come down to a battle between the Heels and Vols I think.

Mike Farrell

 

[TNVol92]

I hear he is a silent commit.

 

[Sabanocchio]

Mike Farrell on some other O-linemen's destinations. Just thought I'd put this here due to the discussion.

Arie Kouandjio -- Tough call, I think 'Bama. I think Cal will fade.
James Stone -- I think Tennessee swings him.
Damien Robinson -- Gut feeling is Ole Miss

 

[Sabanocchio]

I hear he is a silent commit.

Do you now? Who do you hear that from?

 

[kevol80]

Do you now? Who do you hear that from?

I'm gonna guess Matthew Sullivan.
