Assuming they sign three more OL, who do YOU want? But if it's different, who do you think we get?

Here are most of the big names we're still in for:

John Cullen
Damien Robinson
Matt James
JaWuan James
James Stone
T.J. Leifheit
Roszell Gayden (JC)
Morgan Moses (Prep)

I want:
James Stone
T.J. Leifheit
JaWuan James

We'll get:
JaWuan James
T.J. Leifheit
John Cullen

-I think James is almost a lock
-Regarding Leifheit, I have heard a lot coming out of Chapel Hill that suggests the gap between UNC and Tenn was closed significantly by his visit last weekend, but that USC is creeping into the picture as well
-Morgan Moses likely will open things up when Al Groh is fired, especially if they also get rid of Latrell Scott who Moses is close with. I like him the most of any available linemen.
-I have a buddy who is ND alum and they seem pretty certain that Stone is gonna there unless, again, there is a coaching change

We definitely need to land at least two of these kids on your list. I think we have enough DL committed now if everyone sticks. OL must be the focus the rest of the way

I may be completely out of the loop but I don't know where all the Robinson talk is coming from? According to Rivals we're not even on his list of 8-10 schools. Maybe Scout has something different? I don't keep up with it nearly as much.

We're thought to be in Robinson's top 2 with Alabama. The list of teams recruits are interested in are innacurate a lot of the time.

Morgan Moses- If we really want him, he will be a Vol
JaWuan James- Vol Lock
Dalvin Glass

But I think we sign 4...

Rivals is way behind as usual. Chad Simmons (who is the top recruiting analyst in the country imo) on Scout said that he believes Robinson will end up a Vol. Hubbs has said this past week that UT is all over Robinson and the Vols seem to be in good position...

Chad Simmons is a UGA homer. Rivals>Scout.

Chad Simmons is probably the best guy in the Southeast. I don't know about overall though.

Didn't he say that about Robinson like 2 months ago though?

Chad Simmons know knows his stuff, I don't care if he does like UGA. Rivals is better than Scout on alot of things, but now updating schools of interest and the player profiles. Rivals hardly ever updates that stuff...

JMVA1- Who do you think would/could be a 4th?

I really think we will take 4. That 4th could be Moses.

I think it depends on who UT's staff pursues the hardest. I do think they have cooled on Stone some, and Robinson and Leifheit are above Stone on their board. If they really went after Moses, I'm sure than could land him.

I like Stone but simply because he is from TN. The one game I watched this year, he didnt look dominate at all.

:no:

Jose is the kind of project this staff is looking for. Forget about the so-called "tape" of him for a moment. The drawback is that he's too heavy. However, he's 6'1" to 6'2" and has extremely quick feet and agility for someone his size (i.e. 350lbs. to 360lbs.).

Wait until his "program" gets him down to a good playing weight -- probably around 290-ish. With his strength and quickness, he's gonna be a good one.

You're obviously blinded by the star ratings. Thank goodness the coaches aren't.

Iowa there are reports that he has already lost 25+ pounds. He is someone who the staff really believes they can turn into an excellent player.

Pair is lower on the board I believe than D Robinson, Leifheit, Cullen and J James.
If we could get all 4 but only if he decommited, I think you would see an announcement that he is going to USCe

Jose Jose is our future center, and Im not 100% sure but Didnt he have a UF offer? I believe James is a lock as well, and we will end up battling Auburn for Cullen even though Utah is his leader. I like our chances with Robinson, and Im confident we can pull TJ and yes if we want Moses, hes ours. Stone's accolades have dropped pretty good here lately but I believe Kiffin wants him for the sheer fact that he wants 2 close the boarders, long as Bama doesnt get him I'm fine.

dudes i was just saying jose got pwned in one of the rivals vids, he got bull rushed straight back twice and hes like 350. oh and i just watched some film on robinson WE NEED HIM

Projected O line in the next few years should be......

LT LG C RG RT
James Fulton Revis ? Robinson

dont really know who to put in there at the right guard spot someone help me out with that one but the other postions look very solid and very worthy of opening a few holes
James

It depends on which team you root for too. Rivals' Bama site for instance is absolutely unbeatable for Bama info.

Revis will not be the starting center imo. Jose is our center in-waiting. Douglas will be one of those tackles, probably LT. He's gonna be a good one...
