    Working on a full visitor list and 2014 Vol targets list as we speak. Hope to have at least a portion of both of those published by Wednesday.

    I’m working on a complete list of 2014 targets, plus list of recruits who will be on campus this weekend. Should be done by Wednesday at the latest.

    I’m still working on it. I’ve been trying to find credible info that Crowell or Dyer have been contacted by Jones, and haven’t been able to do so. If I can’t find any by the morning, I’ll publish an article addressing the rumors anyway.

    Vonn Bell shocked people around the state in announcing he will attend Ohio State University. Though loss for the Vols who were widely believed to be the favorites to land Bell.

    Coach Jones tweeted this late last night. My favorite part is the people celebrating in the background. What are your thoughts?

    I heard Levenberry (?) is announcing tonight, any info?

    He just reaffirmed his commitment to FSU. We updated his status on our targets page in addition to adding Belfort to it. https://www.footballtime.com/2013-vol-football-recruiting-targets/

    Also Malique Belfort has narrowed his decision to WVU and UT. Who is he?

    He’s a 6-3, 175 pound 3-star receiver according to 247 Sports and Scout. He’s from New York and has offers from Michigan State, Maryland, Boise State, Cincinnati, Boston College, and more. He was recruited by Jones at Cincinnati, and is reported to be deciding between West Virginia and the Vols. You can view highlights of him here.

    Swafford and Foreman, who are they. I know both are committed to UT, but I know nothing about them. Also who is this new preferred walk on lineman. Sounds great

    We’ve got info on every commit, including the Brett Dockery, the walk-on lineman, here: https://www.footballtime.com/recruiting-2013-vol-football-commits/

    Ok thanks, hope it’s official soon because he would be a huge addition to this class. Thanks again

    It’s official and I think he’ll be a very good player.

    I heard that Jabo Lee didn’t commit to the Vols, don’t want this to end up like Chongo Kondolo and be disappointed.

    To be fair, I haven’t spoken with him. Here is the entire story with quotes from Jabo Lee: http://www.scnow.com/sports/high_school/article_d4d9d826-6f3b-11e2-bc2a-0019bb30f31a.html

    While some sites reported Kondolo committed to UT, we didn’t here because we didn’t have credible info. I do believe this information/story to be credible on Lee, and we never had anything near this caliber of info on Kondolo. We’ll see, but generally people in towns close to recruits get these things right.

    Many of my “connected” friends up here in Buckeye land are not feeling too confident about Bell. I hope we get him so I can go to work Thursday with a smile on my face!

    Tennessee is definitely the team to beat. Good luck up there in enemy territory!

    I think he’d be a terrific coach if he wants to get into that field. He knows the game and is a terrific motivator.

    Do you think the commitment of Peyton Barber to Auburn will help the Vols’ chances of landing Rudy Ford? I would really like to see us get a top-notch back in this class, if not for immediate impact at least down the road.

    Yes. I think people close to Ford want him to go to Auburn, but I think he’s personally leaning toward UT. He’ll announce at noon Wednesday, but I’ll continue to see if I can get some more information on his plans. If I had to pick right now, I’d say he ends up at Auburn, but Tennessee’s chances keep looking better.

    As far as roundball is concerned, I would love to hear from C.J. and Chris Lofton. We haven’t had any lights shooters since then. Don’t hear much about Lofton anymore. Is Watson still with the Bulls?

    Watson is with the Nets. Those would be two great interviews.

    On a side note. Does Big Al have any coaching aspirations?

    NCAA  coaches have to have a degree to coach, and Wilson hasn’t finished his, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him coach if he takes care of that.

    That’s a good point. That really was the turning point in not just that game, but in the season. I Should give those guys more credit because they did guide us over 1k yards combined, but I saw them get tackled by the grass so many times. We’ll see if the coaching was to blame this fall! Great website, try and keep the Negative Nellys away.

    I think these backs can be successful in Jones’ scheme. Glad you like it! Working to continually improve it. Will be adding new content and forum features after signing day. We want to be a positive community where people are welcome to offer constructive criticism, but don’t want to devolve into troll world.

    Will the vols try different uniforms sometime in the future?

    I think there’s a chance of that, but it’ll be down the line. These coaches aren’t the type to come in and stir that pot right away.
