Which highly rated offensive linemen are we pursuing right now? I know about the TN linemen but which ones do we have a good chance of landing? OL is the biggest need in this class and I hope we are after some good ones.

I wouldn't worry about rankings when it comes to OL. That is the hardest position to evaluate. I know we are pursuing:

Antoine McClain-tough to pull from AL
Greg Shaw-I've heard he likes OSU
Barrett Jones-prolly Bama
Preston Bailey-almost UT lock
Andrew Wallace-UT leads
Dallas Thomas-tough to pull from LSU
Teavis Durgin-?
Kenneth Page-tough to pull out of SC
Dalton Freeman-tough to pull out of SC
David Spurlock-UT or Bama

And we have Carson Anderson committed. Word is that Aaron Douglas will also be moved to OT. My 2 favorites are Spurlock and McClain, so hopefully we can land one if not both.

Is Bailey really almost a UT lock? I haven't really read anything to make me feel that way but I will take your word for it. That's great news because I really like him. Spurlock is one of my favorites too, do you think he would stay at guard for UT or make a move to center possibly?

Bailey has said he has always been a fan of UT and sources close say that he will come to UT. I think Spurlock is a guard with Anderson as a tackle.

I think Page goes to Clemson, as does Freeman. I think we land Bailey, Wallace, Spurlock, Anderson, and Douglas. McClain to Bama. Shaw to OSU or instate. Jones to Bama. Thomas to LSU. Durgin to ???(maybe Louisville).

you really think Douglas will be moved to OL? He is one of the most highly rated TE's in the country.

Big frame, great blocker. What I've heard is that he was told he will be moved to OT when he was being recruited.

he'll have to pick up some weight then because 245 on the oline in the SEC isnt too great. He's pretty athletic and but he looks like a great blocker. If he puts on weight well and doesnt lose how athletic he is then he could be a great tackle. He was kinda too slow to play TE in the SEC (4.9)

He'll be 265 by the start of his redshirt year. I expect he will be up to 290 before the start of his first year.

Although I would really like to land McClain or B. Jones, I would be fine with landing that list. I think Spurlock is a great sleeper prospect and the Wallace kid is small but I saw he ran a 4.76 so he should be able to put on some wieght and still maintain a sub 5 forty.

Wallace has also been offered by Illinois, Miami, UNC, NCSU, South Carolina, and VT so he can't be terrible.

I would love to see David Spurlock end up a vol. I coached this kid in jr pro football and basketball in fact his dad helped. Davids a great kid and comes from a good family. I come up once or twice a year to see the Vols and it would be great to see David on the field as a Vol !!!

I really like David. He has that mean streak and desire we need. Very underrated IMO. Do you know if he is a Vol fan?
