Thanks, so not necessarily March 5. Will leave them off the list for now.

March was in reference to the March 5th Junior Day

Interesting, thanks. Clemson reportedly expecting Osborne on the 5th, too. Would be a good sign clearly if he comes here instead. Also, we’ve already got two prospects putting it out there that they’re coming 3/26, which is another reason I was asking for confirmation.

Fortuitous timing of this visit for the Vols, as Gilbert was named Alpha Dog:

Indianapolis (Ind.) Cathedral four-star defensive lineman Kendrick Gilbert was flawless in the seven or eight 1-on-1 reps we saw, owning the interior of the line of scrimmage with his combination of quickness, hands and power. Gilbert quickly shot into the backfield rep after rep after rep. He’s over 20 offers with LSU one of the latest to extend a scholarship with the likes of Kentucky, Michigan and Iowa being a few of the programs that have certainly impressed at this point in his process.

well then I guess not

Added a list of Vol targets expected elsewhere March 5th weekend

Any legit concerns about Brycen Sanders going to LSU?

Obviously we'd prefer him to be coming back here instead, but IMO we're still in solid shape. Hope he returns to Knoxville for the 3/26 weekend.

AP just keeps mentioning him. Don't think it's actually confirmed...

That is an insane number of prospects to bring in.

Only one way to keep all of those kids fed and happy:

 

[Rocky Volboa]

We getting a commit or 2 out of that weekend?

 

[bigvol67]

Nico and Moore still coming?

-Vq

Just didn't see them on that list

 

[jvols1999]

Thanks! Some thoughts relative to the list the board has been working on:

Missing
Rico Walker - this one was pretty speculative anyway
DL/OLTrevor Duncan - surprised he's not on the list
LB Cameron Seldon (he had said March, so could just be later in the month)
OL Sullivan Absher - could've sworn multiple sources had him coming here
OL Nathan Ofobi
ATH Marquez Taylor - pretty sure VQ themselves had an article saying he was coming
S Isaac Smith - 247 article had him coming as of last week
WR Daveun Dozier - had tweeted himself that he'll be here
DL Kendrick Gilbert - 247 article had him coming as of this week

New
TE Ben Marshall
TE Spencer Shannon - coming from CA. Interesting that with him and Marshall in this weekend and Reid Mikeska coming the 26th, they appear to be interested in maybe adding a 2nd TE to the class
LB K'Vion Thunderbird - just got an offer
DL Joshua Mickens
DL Tyree Weathersby
DL Zachariah Keith
DL Daevin Hobbs - return visit
DL Darron Reed - return visit, elite recruit
DL Tymere Burton
OL Henry Hardin
Jordan Bell - couldn't find him anywhere, wonder if it's Micah Bell?
Nice group of 24's and 25's,
too
Obviously a huge list with tons of bluechippers. Can't wait!
