The services would have to be able to 100% confirm the offer is legit and committable through the staff and I don't think that's possible.

With one offensive lineman committed for the 2017 class, Tennessee is taking a long and hard look at how they hope to fill out the remaining spots they have penciled in for the line of scrimmage on the offensive side. Huntington, West Virginia's Billy Ross appears to be near the top of the board and he was in town on Wednesday.

"The visit was great," Ross said. "When I got out of the car, the entire coaching staff was there to meet me. I got a lot of attention and they showed me how much they want me in orange. I got to spend a lot of time with coach Mahoney which was important and meet with coach Jones."

Ross visited in early May with his high school head coach, Billy Seals. The former Liberty linebacker is from Morristown and has been a lifelong Tennessee fan. This trip was different as Ross was accompanied by his father.

"He really liked it and he always has something to say about whether he likes it or not," Ross said. "He told me he really likes it. He and coach Mahoney hit if off because they are both big Steelers fans."

So where do things stand for Ross? Things are coming down to the wire for the mountain of a lineman.

"Tennessee and North Carolina are in a tie right now," Ross said. "Florida State is just behind them. I hope to sit down with my family and work my way toward a decision."

No matter which school becomes his pick, Ross plans on at least one more trip.

"I feel like it's more personal face to face," Ross said of how he plans to commit. "I don't like the idea of committing over the phone or in text message. I want to be professional and I think doing it in person is the way to do that. My dad also thinks that way."

Ross told us he hopes to do something in July or at the latest August. We expect things to come to a head within the next two weeks.

Tennessee also remains a strong contender for both Ross and Locklear, who have emerged as high-priority targets for the Vols over the past few months. Sources said Ross and Locklear, who both have visited Tennessee this month, are focusing primarily on two teams, and the Vols are believed to be one of the favorites to land both players.

Ross, who visited Tennessee on Wednesday with his father, is expected to choose between North Carolina and Tennessee. He also traveled to North Carolina last weekend, and some believed he might be on the verge of committing to the Tar Heels last week while he was on campus. But sources have said since Ross’ visit to Tennessee this week that the Vols and North Carolina appear to be virtually neck-and-neck in the race for Ross.

A decision is expected from Ross sometime in July or August. Whenever he’s ready to make his choice, look for him to deliver the news in person by returning to the school he’s choosing.

"Moore, who’s ranked among the nation’s top 100 prospects by 247Sports, hinted earlier this week on his Twitter account that he could be ready to make his college choice before long. He confirmed to GoVols247 that he could announce his choice this week — perhaps by Wednesday or Thursday — but both days came and went without a decision.

It’s now not clear when Moore, who projects as a likely guard at the next level, might be ready to make his choice. But sources have indicated this week that South Carolina and Tennessee are the two teams at the top of his list, and both teams still appear to be very much in play. Sources said Thursday that a decision this week likely would result in Moore choosing the Gamecocks, but if he waits a bit longer to make his decision, the Vols could have a legitimate chance of landing him."
