Vols need recruiting comeback
Posted: Sunday January 20, 2008 10:07AM ET
Tennessee is playing catchup in this year's recruiting race. The Vols are currently ranked No. 40 by Rivals.com on its football commitments. The Vols have failed to get a commitment from a player on Rivals.com's Top 100 list, with only three official visit weekends remaining before signing day. Rivals lists Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Ohio State as its top five recruiting classes. Tennessee plays three of those teams every year. The Vols top commitment to date seems to be Maryville tight end Aaron Douglas, who is their only commitment on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's top 100 list of players from the South.

Ummm. Okay. I don't understand how they can come back.
Waste of story.

Report Offensive CommentC'mon, Phil, there's gotta be some kid at one of your SEC rivals who has a sick parent. Maybe Percy Harvin's mom has a cold and you can send one of your guys down to Gainesville to steal him away like you did with Brandon Warren. Enjoy mediocrity, ****.

Report Offensive CommentYea, well tell the Tennesseean that the recruiting isn't over yet, and the LSU Tigers will still be in the top 7 or 8 and possibly higher as Terrell Pryor is coming this weekend for his visit.
