This has been covered before, even Butch can't get kids with serious D1 offers to take preferred walk-on spots. Especially not out of state...

I mean outside of Johnson. We obviously have him committed. We need more than 2 and definitely more than 1. If we put this kid on hold and don't get Dickerson we have 1 OL. That's not much better than 2012.

Actually it would be +2 better, or infinity % better.

That said, they will pick up a 3rd OL recruit, which will be sufficient when you include this years redshirts.

Still trying to figure out why a guy would even consider a PWO or GS when he has committed to WVU and has over a half dozen legitimate offers elsewhere.

Probably the offer has contingencies attached.

Or the information itself is incorrect. Doesn't mean it is, but I'm having a hard time believing it unless there's something we dont know about one of the previous OL prospects that we had given up on.

Ohio offense tackle and current West Virginia commitment Nathan Niehaus has become a major target. Niehaus, a lifelong Vol fan with numerous ties to East Tennessee, already visited unoffcially a few weeks ago and Tennessee has a lot of momentum. He will make an official visit in January and that could be when Niehaus makes the flip many are expecting. Ohio State has gotten into the mix as well, but havne't given a firm offer.

Sounds like it's only a matter of time. :)

My bad, I had counted Dickerson in tow.

Gotcha. Johnson and Dickerson would be manageable. Niehaus added to that would be great. Miss on Dickerson and slow play Niehaus and the situation would be rather bleak. Good thing it sounds like the GS/PWO may have been inaccurate.

I never felt we were slow playing Niehaus or offering him a BS. I think he looks like a solid prospect and would be a great pickup.

I think we also get Dickerson and close with 3 solid OL prospects.

Appears that way to me as well. The only issue is, well, it's 'cruitin'. :)

Per P Fort

Talked to Nathan Niehaus briefly tonight to catch up on a few things. First off, he will take his Tennessee official visit the weekend of Jan. 15.

But, as of now, that won't be the only official he takes. He is scheduled to see West Virginia the weekend of Jan. 22 and then Ohio State the weekend of Jan. 29.

Ohio State has yet to offer, but that's a situation we are going to monitor as it seems the Buckeye's interest is very real at this point.

Takeaways? My thoughts are two-fold. With Niehaus and his family being life-long Tennessee fans, they could come down that weekend, be blown away and shut the thing down.

Or, Niehaus wants to wait it out and see if OSU offers. That's just my take on the situation.

And then there's WVU, where he's been committed to for over half a year now.
