They have an engineering school, but 2nd tier. States tend to focus in different area's for different schools. In Florida, most of the engineering focus goes to Gainsville. In Alabama, it's Auburn. Georgia probably has the best Engineering school in Georgia Tech. If FSU is the competition, then there is no competition if Landon is serious about his education.

Thanks for your play in 74-75. Let's hope Landon is as smart as you were.

I'm a former UT Letterman that got an Electrical Engineering degree at UT and played offensive line. I feel like I can identify with some of the thoughts that Landon may be having. There are three SEC schools with top notch Engineering schools, UT, Auburn and UF. UT has a big advantage in the partnership they have with Oak Ridge National Labs. That is the primary engineering site for the development of the Atomic bomb which is one of the more impressive engineering feats of human history. I hope that should Landon make an official visit to Knoxville, someone will impress upon him that UT has two huge advantages. First, there are many types of Engineering available to study at UT. When I was recruited to UT, the Dean of the College of Engineering met with me and was extremely persuasive. Second, if he goes to UT, he will fall in love with the people and the mountains. After graduation he will have many opportunities to work in engineering without having to leave an area he has grown to love. You can't say that about Gainsville or Auburn and those are really his only options if he is truly serious about wanting a good engineering degree.

aTm has a good engineering school, too. Luckily, Dickerson doesn't seem to be considering them.

Hubbs was asked why there was no update and he basically said they are waiting on the official visit news and he did not rule Us out at all.

Yeah, I was gonna say the updates mostly related to where the coaches were visiting. They might be holding off on visiting Dickerson for a bit, trying to make sure the timing is right.

Looks like Dickerson has been upgraded to a 5 star recruit by 247 Sports (still 4 stars on composite though).

[Nashvegas beat me to it.]

GFW has affirmed we're going to close strong. It doesn't get much stronger than a 5-star interior lineman.... just sayin'.

listened to Barton Simmons, he says he thinks Tennessee makes sense here bc Dickerson is a country kid. Says decision may come down to distance from home.

I like the positive message Jack. Maybe you're more objective than I thought. Although it does seem you tilt a little negative. Maybe it's me being overly positive.

If those players don't realize the Vols are on the way up, they are either lying or willfully ignorant. Everyone in the country can see it if they follow the sport. Whether they admit it or not is another matter.

Considering they're all committed to Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State, it's not surprising.

They all want Tennessee and Michigan to stay down.

It's pretty easy to find, really. Check out SEC rant and all the fans scrambling desperately to downplay Tennessee and our resurgence. A powerful Tennessee scares the hell out SEC fans.
