The old mantra is "follow the visits" for a reason. If it was so easy to hop in the car with Bailey, we'd be seeing a lot more of Arik Gilbert and other Marietta kids, too. Ojulari has come even when Bailey hasn't.I wouldn't put too much stock in it w/ this recruit. Not hard to jump in the car with Bailey.
I agree, if we go 8-4, or a very competitive 7-5, we have a good chance to pull a Top 10 class. If we get the brakes beat off of us a bunch like we did last year, it could go in the other direction fast. Being the second full cycle recruits will expect to see some progress on the field this year.Witha solid year and bowl game and this staff, I think we would have a chance to get Arik.
SimontonConversely, Tennessee is currently in the best position for Marietta outside linebacker BJ Ojulari. The 4-star has tripped to Knoxville at least 4-5 times since Jeremy Pruitt took over the program. He really likes Chris Rumph and Kevin Sherrer and has started to build a relationship with Derrick Ansley, too. He no longer will make a summer decision, but UT sits in a nice spot. Ojulari, who earned DL MVP honors at the camp after dominating 1-on-1s, plans to take all five official visits in the fall and then sign with a school and enroll early.
-RivalsIt was a loaded group of defensive linemen and Ojulari went toe-to-toe with several other talented prospects at the position, ultimately walking with the hardware after a very impressive performance. Ojulari showed speed off the edge as well as an array of pass rushing moves that gave offensive linemen fits. Ojurlari has a number of major offers, including Tennessee, Georgia, and several others are still in the mix for his services.
Reminds me of that 'go to' beverage you use to wash the taste of bad things out of your mouth...you go look at that time line, and he's visited GA, FL, Bama, Auburn, Clemson....and basically after each one he's made a return trip to Knoxville.
i think at this point if he doesn't come here, it'd be a surprise.
