"There are going to be limited OL spots in this class, three, maybe, maybe four. Tennessee still has Moore, Ross, Locklear, Trey Smith, Obinna Eze, McKenzie (if healthy) and several others on the board.
Moore is likely to do something this week and Tennessee is very much in play, but they are going to be choosey from here on out and that's worth considering as well moving forward."

FWIW, I haven't seen anything about his receiving an Alabama offer yet...
6/21/16: Moore is waiting to hear from Alabama about an offer and but only plans to wait on the Crimson Tide till Wednesday. If he gets an offer he'll delay his decision but if not he'll move forward with the Gamecocks or Vols.
But he's not going to make his decision public until Monday on Twitter. However, Moore said he will notify the school he's chosen as soon as he makes the decision which could be Wednesday or Thursday.
Latest on TJ Moore
Another lineman that tweet about doing something this week was North Carolina offensive lineman TJ Moore. Moore had tweeted that something could happen earlier this week and we followed up and he confirmed something could happen by the end of the week.
But, nothing has come as of Thursday night and we will see if anything happens on Friday.
Many in the industry had already written that Moore was likely to South Carolina, but as we wrote last week, the vibes were different on Rocky Top.
But, with Tennessee adding an offensive lineman during Orange Carpet Day and Ross close to an announcement it will be interesting to see how the Moore situation plays out. The Vols and Gamecocks are the top two programs in the mix, but right now it's uncertain what his destination will be.
Per SC247
If Charlotte (N.C) Mallard Creek four-star offensive tackle T.J. Moore follows through on his current plan to announce his decision on Monday, I believe he will pick South Carolina. If he delays his decision, which is a possibility, it will likely indicate Tennessee is where he wants to go. Sources on the Vols end of things said their staff is trying to slow-play Moore currently since they landed Roswell (Ga.) three-star offensive tackle Jordan Tucker over the weekend and have other tackles they are involved with that they have higher on their board than Moore, namely Riley Locklear and Billy Ross. Ross could announce as soon as today between North Carolina and Tennessee.
Moore, whos rated a top-100 prospect by 247Sports, has been high on Tennessee since attending the Vols spring-ending Orange and White Game in April, and theyre believed to be one of the favorites to land him. South Carolina and Tennessee appear to be the front-runners for Moore, who recently has hinted that a decision could be imminent. He previously has called South Carolina his leader, and the Gamecocks are the unanimous favorites to land him on the 247Sports Crystal Ball. But sources have said Tennessee remains a legitimate threat to South Carolina, although the Vols still are heavily involved with several other linemen who remain high on their wish list.
For the second straight week offensive lineman TJ Moore has talked about making a commitment. Moore once again held off in making a decision. Tennessee and South Carolina are the two programs he's mostly considering right now so we will be watching to see how this plays out as the Vols continue to be very much involved with other linemen.
