List looks good. Hopefully J. Smith being there will help some of those front 7 defensive prospects lean toward a commitment. I know I would want him on my team, he is a physical monster.

GVX article says there is over 100 players coming to this thing. They focus on James Stone, who would be a really good prospect for us to land. IMO we need 5 top class O-linemen in this class. Stone would certainly be a helluva start

I guess we would only consider offering 1/2 of the campers. The number of people we would actively pursue would much less than 1/2 for sure...

I could see 100 people coming, the thing is, a majority of those probably won't be major prospects.

Right, I could see it happening. Between those expected and those considering, all you would have to do is triple the list and you'd be approaching 100. I don't think that's unrealistic and like you said many won't be elite prospects garnering national attention.

I would have just rather heard that figure from someone else first---Rivals, ESPN, another newspaper and so forth.

I've heard the new staff is in favor of one big JR day to make a splash, as opposed to several smaller ones.

Theories:

1) It gets more publicity if it's a once a year event.
2) You can compare everyone side-by-side in one day instead of trying to contrast/compare guys who visited separately.
3) Convenience. You get it done quickly and you don't have to worry about planning/organizing multiple events.
4) With it only occuring once, there is more pressure on prospects to come, because the window is small. Getting everyone in one session also allows people to make friends and influence one another.

Zach Tait and James Stone are THE MOST IMPORTANT kids for us in this camp, and even in next year's class. I heard both Tait and Stone saying they were not in much contact with Kiffin and Co., but I expect if coaches are satisfied with what they will see, they are gonna bombard these two kids till next NSD.

The war of recruiting just started...

Nice list Tennessee Jack. Hey if it is possible could you make a link for each player so people on the board can view their rivals profile?? I know it would be alot of work but it would be very helpful. Maybe only do the top players. Just thought I would throw that out there. Thanks for putting the list together.

LB Kendall Moore is off the board. He said he plans to visit at a later date.

I'm going to work. I'll be back in 5-6 hours probably and won't be doing any updates till then.

Markeith Ambles would be a great pick up. Some experts have him as the top recruit for next year. We could use another addition at WR.

O.C wanted to come but he's the first BIG man off the bench for Manassas and they have a playoff BBall game today. They have a legit chance @ winning a state championship. Reginald Buckner 6'8 (Ole Miss Signee) is the real deal.

Couple of notes:
O.C. measured 6'2 317 (w/clothes w/out shoes) at AL Jr. Day

James Stone measured 6'3 even 310 (w/clothes w/out shoes) at AL Jr. Day (not 6'5 as stated in Rivals)

O.C. and Reggie Buckner have the same size hands. He's 16 and nobody 6'2 has hands that big. He's still growing. Wouldn't be shocked if he winds up 6'4.
