I think Austin will probably commit on signing day.

We have no shot at Austin but Brimmfield will be taking his place. not as good as Austin but it will do.

Does anyone know how big this kid really is? Rivals doesn't have him listed at over 300 but I've seen other things saying he was well over.

IMO, UT needs size and power more than quickness at the DT position. UT's quick and athletic DT's were manhandled by PSU- probably the deciding factor of the game.

BTW, if UT lands this kid, Melancon, and Langley... I wouldn't trade that group for one Marvin Austin. It is likely that at least one of these 3 will be a star. It is unlikely that all 3 will tank or be injured. Austin could easily flop or get injured.

If they get Perry in this group too... wow.

Cincinatti Enquirer reporting Martin is a TN commit.

 

[madattiver]

like i said before... I can't wait for tomorrow to come

 

[OWB]

Donald Langley, Rolando Melancon and Ben Martin on the DL.
Chris Donald, along with Mayo/McCoy, at LB.
Eric Berry, Art Evans and DeShaun Barnes at DB.

If those commitments happen tomorrow, then we could have a scary defense in the near future.

Man, how sweet would that be?

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Could you imagine McNeil or Burnett thrown in there? That's so good it's disturbing... well atleast on paper

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Hope he's ours, he should be a great help at DE.

 

[VolBobOrangePants]

Yeah, it's looking that way. I'm not 100% sold till I hear it from his own mouth tomorrow, though. When I hear he and Donald, I'm gonna be something like this:clap: :yahoo: :rock2: :dance2: :rock:

A few tidbits just to shore up any doubts:

High school sports

 

[vavol87]

The Chief is going to get himself a nice little tribe this class.:rock:

 

[rexvol]

This could be a great day, I need it after the Outback debacle

 

[therickbol]

Isn't there another 4* star LB we already landed? Walker?

Yeah, Chris Walker. I did not put him on there because I am not sure where his college destination is going to be. He is getting his first crack at LB. But he frame is so massive I really think he ends up at DE. With his speed and frame he could grow into a nasty DE.

 

[therickbol]

I called this one a while back. The signs were there. It also makes me more comfortable with Donald. They have been hanging out a lot.
