You don't won't Chavis in there ears unless you want them to commit elsewhere - he's not the best with high school kids. I'd keep him away. Whoever has the personality that can convince these kids that UT is the place for them is who needs to be in there ears all weekend. That's something that Trooper was great at, convincing a kid that UT is the place for him and that he will take care of him.

We need these guys.

Enrique will be the hardest to get, but Marcus and Jerrell might commit. With an already loaded back field Enrique will probably go to Ole Miss. Marcus could be the deep play threat that we missed all last season. Jerrell could come in and fight for playing time with Jerod Mayo and Ryan Karl gone. This could be a strong finish if nothing bad happens during the visit.

vol1994, I bleed orange as much as anybody and I would surely like to get these guys, but, really, it is hard to say that UT has more tradition than Auburn and USC. We have traditions and a history we love, and we hope to get recruits to buy into them, but IMHO it is not a good sales technique to try to tell them that ours are better than those. Oregon, NC State, Maryland, and the rest are a different story, of course(;-D)! Maybe those were the ones you were talking about!

Bama just spent $100 million on facilities, which includes much more than enlarging the stadium, so get back to the 21st century. They are currently the best in the country. Some or our commitments graduated in Dec and already enrolled so count toward 2007. Look forward to signing some more of your high school players in 2009. Barrett Jones, Dont'a Hightower, and Chris Jordan are merely an appetizer. There are so many good players in our two states next year, the leftovers you get won't be bad at all. Then you can help your image by saying 'we stole em from Bama'.
