Jawuan James, who once was committed to Alabama, now is considered a Tennessee lean over Georgia in what appears to be a two-team battle. He likely will take official visits to both before deciding. Moses is a Virginia commitment, but with things falling apart for Al Groh in Charlottesville, sources say Tennessee is emerging as the top choice. And Stone, who once was thought to be a lean to Notre Dame or Alabama, has shown renewed interest in the Vols.
As for Cullen and Leifheit, Utah and North Carolina, respectively, still lead, but neither seems close to a decision. Leifheit just took an official to Tennessee and came away impressed; Cullen is visiting Knoxville in early October.
Kouandjio lists Tennessee among his final eight schools and the Vols could get an official visit, but California is considered the leader, followed closely by Alabama. Kouandjio is scheduled to for an official visit to Cal the weekend of Oct. 2 or Dec. 11, and will take an official visit to Alabama in January. As for Matt James, he favors Ohio State, Notre Dame and Cincinnati, with Florida also potentially getting a visit, so Tennessee seems to be out of the picture.
