Sweet and Richmond are both above the others IMHO. Richmond was more a priority because he is instate and I guess the mindset is recruit the instate kids first because they are less likely to flip down the stretch(not sure that matters with Memphis area kids though). Sweet would be a good substitute though although people will spaz because he isn't rated as highly.

I like Richmond because he already had the mass to play when he steps on campus. Sweet would need a year in the strength program to get up to playing weight most likely.

I don't think either are going to make us great next year anyways. The big thing was getting a guy who could come in a be a very good player by 2016. I think Thomas will inevitably be the starting LT by 2016, and Kendrick and Jones will compete for the RT spot. Still, it'd be nice to land another OT prospect just to bring more quality competition to this team for the future.

Sweet plays better competition, so probably faster to adjust to the SEC. IMHO

I agree. I'll be glad when we, as a fan base, in a couple of years get out of the mindset that we need every freshman to come in and be a savior right off the bat. I understand that's where the program is right now but things are looking up and we shouldn't have a desperate need for freshman starters in the very near future.

• And speaking of slow playing, the Vols might have missed out on an offensive tackle, but you can't blame them for going all in with 5-star offensive tackle Drew Richmond who committed to Ole Miss last week. Tennessee has now fully turned their attention to a few other top candidates to fill a void on the line. At this point, it is likely the Vols will be putting the full-court press on North Carolina commit William Sweet of Jacksonville First Coast. While he has been committed to the Tar Heels since April, Sweet has always seemed relatively open to other schools, including the Vols. Look for that interest to heat up considerably with Richmond off the market. Another offensive tackle who will likely get more attention from the Vols is Michael Howard. As mentioned, another possibility could have been Alex Givens, but the Vols had been slow playing him recently and that ended with him also giving a commitment to Ole Miss last week. New names will obviously also emerge for the Vols at offensive tackle in the coming months.

Ya, I hope our OL goes
LT:Thomas LG:Robertson C:Weisman RG:Stewert RT: Jones

I like the idea of always having a couple Tennessee boys start on the OL haha and not having the whole OL the same class so we aren't having to replace them all like this year.

Good ones, though?

This. Big question mark there. Of course they will get tackles but some may very well be huge projects as opposed to legit big-time SEC talents. I'm really hoping they can at least get a visit from Sweet. He looks like a great prospect and our tackle situation has to be attractive to these kids.

Technically speaking, no state is on the level of Florida right now as far as talent production. Cali and Texas are close. Georgia is up there as well. I think Tennessee produces like a tenth of the amount of college prospects as Florida.
