That is the first thing I thought about. Bob struggles with the simple names. He will never get this one down.

I love it! This is exciting for these kids and being one of the first to offer is a positive!

Man soon were gonna turn into DL U. With Sam Montgomery leaning towards us this year and in 2010 we might get Jaquez Smith and whatever this kids name is. Orgeron does wonders in recruiting.

2010. The year Vols blow up on the recruiting front.
Mark it down. If we win 8-9 games next year. Our class will be rediculous, especially if we contribute with lots of freshman.

Per Scout:

WR Demarco Cobbs, one of the top players in the country, texted Scout.com to inform us that Alabama has officially offered him a scholarship.
Before today, Cobbs had offers from schools such as Arkansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Tennessee, and Texas Tech among others.

DeMatha Catholic 88, Neumann-Goretti 71

Josh Selby (DeMatha) 28 points on 12-15 shooting, 0-1 from three, 4-4 from the line, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover in 22 minutes

It was an impressive outing for Selby on Sunday. The knock on DeMatha guard is that he is prone to playing out of control and taking ill advised shots. His 12-15 shooting and only one turnover attest to his controlled and efficient play against Neumann-Goretti. He completed a number of tough finishes around the basket while also leading his team from the point guard position. Selby is well on his way to establishing himself as an elite combo guard.

By G Powers. Tennessee has offered. Oklahoma has extended a verbal offer, and Cobbs also feels that Texas may offer at junior day.

2010 Prospect Jared Duke OL Beedle Commits! Wallace is focused
Talk about it in The Varsity Board (Premium)


Anytime a player has over 20 + tackles in one game at any level it turns heads. Just imagine the head turning game being in the state championship. That is what happened to Milan (TN) star LB Avery Williamson (6-foot-2 220).

Williamson registered 22 tackles in a state championship game loss to Alcoa (TN). On the season, the ultra talented linebacker had 117 total tackles to go along with 7 sacks.

Williamson is a name that will be a quick-riser in the state's list of top prospects and he will be one of the state's more decorated players in 2010.

"We really worked hard and had great leadership and put forth a lot of effort" said Williamson. "We didn't let up; we played hard through the entire season. We treated every game like it was Alcoa."

The All Region and area player of the year on defense surprisingly didn't make all state this past season in 2A.

"Yeah that motivates me going into next season" said Williamson. That motivation is already starting to take shape as Williamson has already begun working out for next season.

Williamson served as a valuable leader for a team that made it all the way to the state championship game. "My role defensive wise, was to be verbal" said Williamson. "I pushed the other guys on the team and I tried to be a leader on the defensive side of the ball. My intensity is something that my teammates feed off of, I get guys hyped! I'm the hype guy, crazy throughout the entire game and my teammates fed off of it."

Recruiting has taken off for Avery as he has been one of the few 2010 prospects who have received a visit from new Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin.

"Coach Kiffin came to see me a few weeks back" said Williamson. "It was cool, but I'm also hearing from Mississippi, Kentucky and Vanderbilt. I like Mississippi a lot; I was MVP of their camp last summer. I think Tennessee and Mississippi are on the verge of offering me. Those two would be in my top 3 along with Georgia. I think Tennessee is on the up rise. I think I will get more offers this spring, but I'm heading to combines at the NUC in Nashville, the Nike Combine and the UT camp. I want to get faster and trim my 40 time from a 4.6 to a 4.5".

</td></tr></tbody></table><!-- End Jared Duke (2) 200x267 Image-->The Class of 2010 continues to make waves early in the Volunteer state as prospects continue to show up on the radar as potential college players. Another emerging prospect from the class is Jared Duke (6-foot-6 320 lbs) from Walker Valley (TN) High School.

The 1st year starter on a team that made it to the 2nd round of the 4A playoffs earned 2nd Team Best of Preps for the Chattanooga area and the best offensive lineman award at his school. He was also named area lineman of the week on two occasions last season.

"We had a great season last year" said Duke. "We made the 4A playoffs and beat Cleveland in the 1st round. In the 2nd round we were down to Knoxville Powell 28-7 at halftime. We came back and played hard in the 2nd half but we fumbled the ball on the 30 yard line with 1 minute left and lost 28-21.

We moved up from 3A last year and to win our 1st playoff game in a bigger classification was huge. We had a wake up loss to Rhea County during the regular season, but we won 4 straight after that".

With D-1 level size, it's hard not to notice Jared in crowd. His teammates feel the same way, as they have embraced him being a leader on his team. "I push people in the weight room" said Duke. "I try and get the guys fired up; I try to motivate our team to keep their mind on the game."

His athletic ability away from the gridiron has also helped with his development on the field as Jared was a wrestler through his freshman year, but he also sees other qualities that have helped him develop as a player.

"I been playing football for 11 years, I know the game well" said Duke. "I've played with the guys on this team forever". A player who projects as an offensive lineman at the next level, Jared has also seen playing time on the defensive side of the ball as a tackle. "Defensive Tackle is pretty fun, but OT is where my opportunities are" said Duke. "DT is fun, you just go after it".

The recruiting process is just starting to take shape for Jared, as he hopes to make a bigger name for himself on the camp circuit this spring and summer. "I'm not really hearing from any schools right now" said Duke.

"Scouts have come by from Cumberland, Tennessee State and Austin Peay. I went to camp last summer at Tennessee and Alabama and I felt I did pretty good. I want to get better as a player; I've been training at D-1 for over a year. I plan on going to the Nike Combine in March in Atlanta and also check out some team camps this summer at Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Carson Newman, and Appy State maybe.

I'm a big Tennessee fan and I like the local schools like Carson Newman, but Tennessee has been my favorite for a long time, I've enjoyed going to games."

Jared can't wait for the regular season to start as Walker Valley opens the 2009 season against the Knoxville Bearden Bulldogs and 2011 superstar Devrin Young. "Man we have a lot tougher schedule next year" said Duke. "I like the fact that we play different teams like Bearden and Ooltewah".

He had 22 tackles according to this new Rivals article---

cPanel®

There's not much in the article---TN is in his top-3 & he wants to get his 40 down to 4.5 from 4.6

He expects UT to offer him soon.

People just wont be able to say the HS talent is sub par next season...if we don't lock down at least 75% of the top ten in state talent I'll be sorely disappointed

Why would Kiffin tell Boyd he won't fit the system? And, offer Christian Green a scholarship the following year. How is Boyd's character? Was it more of a character issue? Maybe Boyd's earrings make Kiffin think of Terrell Owens. Maybe Green isn't a true dual threat type. Does anyone have a logical explanation?
