If James Stone goes to Alabama, IMO, it is going to be a huge blow to UT. First of all we desperately need him because depth is a huge factor for us. He would definately get playing time instead of having to wait until his Junior year at Alabama because they are stacked. Secondly, HE IS FROM TENNESSEE! Why do we have such a difficult time keeping instate talent. I hear fans all the time talk about how Tennessee has no instate talent. Who cares? Talent or no talent, the majority we cant sign anyway. And thirdly, it will send a statement to Bama Nation and to Nick Saban that we beat him for a blue chip player that he wanted. I say take your victories where you can get them. With Hiestand as our new OL coach I really hope James Stone takes that into consideration. He is from Tennessee and he needs to come to UT.

I really think Stone is coming here, but he is not ready to play right out of the box. He might be ready for some backup time as a RS freshman and then possibly a starter by his RS sophomore season, IMO.

Hey I will take that. I feel we just need him because it sends a message that Dooley can keep instate talent. Something that Fulmer was never really good at.

Watch out for those Middle TN Bama boosters who directed Danta Higtower to the enemy. I've heard stories about Maplewood's coach getting a new $3,000 ice machine for their locker room from an anonymous donor.

We are all worried about landing Ambles, Rogers, Robinson & Stone, with X still sniffing around, I want to make sure we are firm with Loften, Copeland, Stanley, & Hunter. After the kicking fiasco of last year, we better sign that damn kicker too.

No worries on the kicker Palardy, he's a Vol. Heard him on the radio today, he can't wait to get here.

There is nothing to worry about with Hunter or Loften. Loften canceled his USC visit and is all Vol. Rumors were going around about Hunter to UVA, but that is extremely unlikely, especially this late.

Copeland and Stanley could be ones to worry about, although I'm not worried about Copeland. Apparently he has said NO to visiting the scumbags at USC. Stanley on the other hand could be a casualty.

Stanley and Ralph Williams will be the names to watch tomorrow as far as losing guys.

I read on the Ralph Williams thread that he called the UT coaches last night and pledged his commitment to be a Vol.

Everything I've seen or heard was that he was leaning Vols, but who knows anymore. He is keeping pretty quiet about it, so it's hard to know what is real and just rumor. I guess we'll know in a few hours.

I hope he says Vols. We need him badly.

First it was 4pm, then 2pm and now Kadron Boone is set to announce at 7:45am Wednesday morning. Final two look to be LSU and Georgia. Look for Boone to sign with the Tigers.

Tennessee made a late move for James Stone and it looks good for the Vols as we close in on Signing Day. He will decide between Alabama and Tennessee and the Vols have the edge very late in the process.

Georgia Tech made a late run at Wake Forest commitment Brandon Terry. They recently offered him, but Terry informed Scout Tuesday night that he is sticking with the Demon Deacons.

It is still an Ole Miss-FSU battle for Vincent Sanders, but all signs point to Sanders staying home and playing for Houston Nutt. The Mississippi wide receiver seems to be leaning heavily towards the Rebels just hours away from Signing Day.
