'14 JUCO OT Dontavius Blair (UT SIGNEE 12/18/13)

[Ethan Hooper]

FWIW Dave Hooker predicting that he pulls the trigger for the Vols this weekend.

That is a very nice surprise. I thought the Auburn offer might have shook things up a little. Hopefully Hooker is right

FWIW Dave Hooker predicting that he pulls the trigger for the Vols this weekend.

He's not visiting is he? Obviously I would love for him to be right but that seems like another off the wall prediction on Hooker's part.

He doesn't follow recruiting as close as many on here.

Well, so much for that 7 minutes of hope and excitement.

[PA Vol]

I thought he was going to be on the Plains this weekend?

I thought he was going to be on the Plains this weekend?

Would be pretty awesome if he pulled a McDowell and committed to us after attending another team's recruiting weekend.

 

[Biopsyman]

We need a LT after this season

 

[sanddune50]

I thought he was going to be on the Plains this weekend?

According to 247 he's going to Auburn for his official visit.

 

[VolinArizona]

According to 247 he's going to Auburn for his official visit.

Hopefully we made enough of an impression to Weatherd the storm.

 

[WesternKyVol]

How many remaining years does Blair have to play?

 

[OCIVol]

According to 247 he's going to Auburn for his official visit.

I guess Hooker thinks he will commit during his Auburn visit, to Tennessee naturally.

He’s getting in-depth instructions on how to use the fax machine from Coach Mahoney as we speak (a little Ron Zook humor there).

 

[VOLFan65]

This guy and Zeus would make a monster tackle duo...

Lol he would become a legend to me if that happened.

Here is some Ron Zook humor (credit VolnMiami with posting this in the around the around the NCAA forum) scroll down employees list.

Gateway Bank - The New Old Fashioned Bank

The whole point of getting this guy would be so that they don’t have to put Brown out there as a true Freshman.

A secondary benefit to getting this guy is that Brown could learn from Blair before taking over his spot when Blair graduates.

 

[shelbyvillevol]

The top overall prospect left on our recruiting board, IMO.

Zeus will be a RT and Blair would probably start for us at LT

 

[Coach Punk]

Zeus will be a RT and Blair would probably start for us at LT

I would be shocked if that happened (with Brown).

It means we still have to recruit a left tackle in this class.

Raulerson or Ruble. Don't forget Sanders probably redshirts, making him another possible LT for this class.

 

[VOLFan65]

How many years will Blair have to play? There's no reason that Zeus and him couldn't be opposites sides towards the end of Blair's tenure

 

[VOLFan65]

The top overall prospect left on our recruiting board, IMO.

Agreed.

 

[Phat-Phil]

Zues doesn't have the quickness needed to play LT and especially not in this new system. He's a Fluker type (size wise) of RT.

 

[PassedOutAwake]

Sanders - Kendrick - Thomas - Raulerson - Brown


IMO

 

[Phat-Phil]

Sanders - Kendrick - Thomas - Raulerson - Brown


IMO

Agreed, but wouldn't be surprised to see crowder at C and I think Blair would start at LT if we got him.
