Tn is seriously the best place for him. We are probably going to lose our entire OLine and he has to see that. OLine is really the only position left in this class that we need other than DLine

I'm pretty sure he visited early in the summer. I remember after his visit people felt really good about getting a commitment from him. Or am I just making this up?

I would have guessed so since he liked us so much.

Dontavius blair

sophomore offensive tackle dontavius blair of garden city (kan.) community college is expected to be one of the top junior-college offensive linemen in the 2014 class. He wasn’t disappointed, to say the least.
The sophomore offensive tackle from garden city (kan.) community college said tennessee now is “up there” on his list following his “great” weekend trip to knoxville, and he’s already planning to use one of his official visits to return there later this year.

“me leaving there now, i’ll always love tennessee or whatever. I’m not saying they’re my top school or whatever, but i’ve got love for them,” said blair, an anniston, ala., native who’s expected to be one of the nation’s top junior-college offensive linemen in the 2014 class.
“i haven’t visited everywhere else, but they’re up there. I’m going to take one of my official visits down there.”

he was scheduled to visit alabama on monday, and he said he’s planning to travel to mississippi state on thursday. Georgia also is “trying to get me on a visit,” he said, while he’s home during his ongoing spring break at garden city.

The 6-foot-8, 292-pound blair — who claims 11 scholarship offers to date, including one from the vols — said he enjoyed watching tennessee’s practice and spending time with first-year coach butch jones’ staff during the visit. “the practice was high-intensity, and they have good coaches, great players,” said blair

“i really didn’t do too much. I met with the head coach, sat down with the offensive line coach (don mahoney), watched a little film and got to meet everyone.

“i went expecting to see great things, but i seen more.”

blair, who plays left tackle at garden city, said he talked with jones, mahoney and vols linebackers coach tommy thigpen. All of them made it clear to blair — who plans to enroll at the college of his choice in january with three years to play two — that he could fill a major need for tennessee. “the head coach told me it ain’t just that they want me — they need me,” blair said.

“(mahoney) was just telling me that big ‘tiny’ (tennessee junior left tackle antonio richardson), if he leaves next year or whatever, he needs a guy like me that has experience from a juco, instead of a high-school guy, and he’ll be able to choose.”

blair said all of the vols’ coaches have “great personalities,” and he was impressed by tennessee’s facilities, including the new football training center that’s attached to neyland-thompson sports center. “it’s a great place to be,” he said. “the weight room’s pretty big.”
blair said he’s planning to take most — if not all — of his official visits during the upcoming football season, but he’s not sure when he might be ready to decide on a college. “i can’t say, to be honest,” he said. “i really can’t.”

The timing of this doesn't look good for us.

My guess is he lost his spot at auburn with them taking the other juco and A&M used that to amp up the pressure before he OVs to us.

A&M is my guess
