And he’s 6’6”

Not saying he’s not 290 btw, just crazy how lean his build is.

I know he's next to a huge guy but that's what we want all of our lineman looks like. With his build it's hard to imagine him being matched up 1 on 1 with a huge 3-4 defensive end.

I don't mind loading up on JUCOs this class in order to win next year. Let them do that and allow the staff to build relationships for '19 in order to land talented HS players.

And also build a better W-L record to help recruit those '19 kids.

I was at the fair one year, and I swear I saw a little person with like a 3' ft afro. I had not been drinking. I thought I might be hallucinating, but my friend saw him too. I could only assume it was so he could ride all the rides. :p

The JUCO OL target reiterated what Valentin said about Friend: Honestly and "he kept it 100." Johnson said Tennessee is in his Top 2 — with no other specific school as No. 2 yet so read into that what you want.

The Arizona Western C.C. offensive tackle said, “I loved everything about it: The coaching staff, the area, the atmosphere, the fans. Everything.” Asked if he nearly committed on the visit, Johnson chuckled and said, “I definitely did. I’ll be committing real soon though. Everybody stay tuned.”

“When you grow up in Philly, you just got to keep it 100, and I felt like they just kept it 100 with me throughout this weekend,” Johnson, originally a Pennsylvania native, explained. "They didn’t sugarcoat nothing. Everything was straight. That’s what I live by. You have to keep it 100 and keep it moving.”

“Coach (Friend) talked about reps more than he talked about a spot. Nobody can guarantee you a starting spot. You have to earn everything. That’s what I mean by him keeping it straight. You would never tell a kid that he would get a starting spot. You always have to grind for it. He based it off reps and how many I’d be getting.”


After the visit, Johnson said Tennessee is firmly in his “Top 2” but he doesn’t have another favorite school in mind as he nears a decision. He’s already taken trips to Arkansas and Missouri and will visit Southern Cal before making an announcement closer to February’s National Signing Day.

Tennessee left Johnson with a nice final impression to remember, too, as he got to take in a bit of the basketball game as part of a sellout crowd at Thompson-Boling Arena in the showdown with against No. 7 North Carolina.

“Amazing setting,” Johnson said. “When we came in there everybody knew who we was. It was amazing. To know that there was (20K fans there) and there’d be 80K more at the football games? Amazing. That’s something I want to be a part of.”

This would DEFINITELY be a scholly well-used. A position of need. A recruit that's been at a little Junior College, and he knows what it's like to fight for his spot, so he's ready to earn reps. This JUCO Offensive Lineman, and the other JUCO Offensive Lineman named Valentin, will be 2 key committs by the start of the 2019 season when most of our current talent at OL will be graduating and gone. These 2 JUCO OLs will be a BIG key in 2019, regardless if they contributed any besides backup depth in 2018. We need them both......bad. And Jerome Carvin? Carvin, PLUS these 2 JUCO OLs??? Those 3 could be our anchors for a new-look Offense starting in 2019. Pruitt needs to reel in 4-6 solid, talented OLs this class to blend in and teach the new system to. We have a couple decent looking 3* OLs still committed from Butch, but those few guys aren't gonna cut it. We need 4-6(closer to 6,ha) this class, no questions asked. Or we will be struggling in 2019, for pass protection AND possibly it will effect Ty Chandler becoming the impact star we expect. It all starts with this staff closing these deals with some of these recruits that visited this weekend. Press hard and go on and get it started and lock up a few of these JUCO boys, and get the ball rollin. Get in the news circulating about the Vols closing some deals! Plus I forgot about Badara Tradore or however you spell his name - the big JUCO 6'8, 315lb Offensive Lineman we are pushing for that was committed to LSU. We could grab 6 solid OL options to help us out in a big way this class if he can steal all 3 of the solid lookin JUCO OLs....plus Carvin, lol.

I know some folks don’t like us going JUCO route, but I’m impressed at how quick CJP has attacked this weakness on the team to attempt to shore it up. He ain’t messing around.

At this point, I'm all for tackling the problem with numbers. Recruit 7-8 guys to add to our returning roster and then just tell everyone "let the best five win"....improvement next year is a MUST.
