I believe it. Is UGA pushing for Ojulari?

They are recruiting him, but no, don’t see them pushing for him. LB is a tight spot this year if BJ ends up a LB (which I think he is in 3-4 base). He’s too light in the britches to be everydown DE. UGA needs DT/DE and think they use any extra spots there.

How do you know what's in his britches? Is that what being an "insider" means?

Geez people ! It's not rocket science ! There are a ton of top prospects that are loving TN right now. We are high on virtually dozens of the very top recruits lists, they like Coach Pruitt and his staff, they love our brand and our facilities as much or more than any other programs in the country ! They really want to believe and buy in to what Pruitt and staff are selling, but .... most are going to wait and see for some product improvement before committing years of their lives to it. The very best want to play with the very best and play for championships. We're in great shape now for so many great prospects, but get to 8,9, or 10 wins at this seasons end and watch them come flocking, will have the unfortunate but great problem to have then of turning some of the best away ! Get double digit wins and TN could very well get back to consistent top 5 classes, dominating our states top recruits and cherry picking other states best. Let's face it, TN has been down and other programs let that be known to the kids we want that they want, but in my opinion everything is now in place to change that ! No commitments right now doesn't bother me at all, win big games on Saturdays this fall and we'll get all the commitments we can hold come signing day or before.

Take Two: Is five-star Justin Rogers a Tennessee lean?

FIRST TAKE - Josh Helmholdt, Midwest analyst

“Tennessee got the first official visit from Rogers, but another has been set for Kentucky the weekend of April 26, one to Georgia is expected to be finalized soon, and Alabama is another school that is likely to be an official visit destination before the summer. Add in Michigan and Ohio State, two Midwest schools that have hung around, and there is a lot of competition for Rogers still.

"Tennessee is the team with the most buzz for Rogers right now, but a year ago at this time Ohio State had that same kind of momentum in this recruitment, and at the start of last season it seemed Georgia had even more. I’ve known Rogers since he was in middle school and I have watched his recruitment develop over the last few years. There’s still a lot of recruiting to be done, and I’d say it’s too early to make a strong prediction on where this one is headed.”

SECOND TAKE: Mike Farrell, National recruiting director
“I think Tennessee leads for him. It’s very telling that he decided to go down there for this visit. He’s shown a lot of interest in the coaching staff and they’re recruiting the heck out of him. At first, I thought he was just going to be a Michigan guy and stay home. The more he’s looked around, the more it looks like he’s going to leave the conference.

"Now, whether he commits and then takes visits and then de-commits or makes it dramatic in the end, I’m not sure. I just know this kid is a heck of a player. He could play offensive line or defensive line at a high level in any conference. If Tennessee was to get him, it would be one of the biggest gets in the 2020 class and they’re in good shape. “A lot depends on whether he wants to do a Darnell Wright, who knew he wanted to go to Tennessee for a long time and waited, waited, waited. We’ll see if Rogers wants to pull the trigger.”

Like Wright, would just be happy to land him. At the same time, sure would be nice if our biggest 'gets' showed an interest in announcing earlier and helping recruit the rest of the class. Making their own job here easier in the long run.

Have heard that UGA staff is mainly interested in him on the o-line, not sure the reasoning behind that as I think he’ll be a stud on either side but that could make this primarily a Vol-OSU battle for him if he is dead set on defense. I like the vols chances a ton at getting him as of now, definitely think y’all are the front runners.

And I'm sure Kirby is assuring Gilbert that they have no plans to recruit any other tight ends.

He can sell that but it’s clearly a lie, he’s also recruiting Darnell Washington. I’m sure Gilbert knows that too

Have to take two this year. Lost Ford and Nauta last year and Woerner is a SR this year, could possibly take 3, but I’d say 2 is the #. Washington and Gilbert are friends and have visited same time at UGA, they know the roles each are being pitched. Gotta have 2 of Gilbert, Washington, or Theo Johnson, #3 TE according to 247 and #1 player in Canada.

Quick soapbox, Luke Ford was denied his waiver today, his grandpa is very sick and cannot fly to see him play so he wanted to play closer home. NCAA is so hypocritical...read up on the VT transfer as well. Bunch of morons
