I would say that it is more likely that there are kids in his recruiting area with whom he has a good relationship but who were a little too highly rated for LaTech to have a good shot at them. I'd look at people he may have offered who are now committed to LSU, A&M, the Mississippi Schools, etc. Just a hunch.
Anybody we may want that he recruited?
Along that vein, I put together a the following list. If anyone has an opinion on whether any of these prospects could be Vols, let's hear it. Not a complete list by any means, I just took a quick look at the top of the public version of LaTech's board on Scout.
1. Elisha Olabode CB committed to TCU
2. Pat McNeil DT uncommitted
3. Bryan Jones DT uncommitted
4. Charles Barkins OL uncommitted (has a TN offer) edit: This is per Scout but not Rivals.
5. Asian Ruff S uncommitted (Arky lean?)
