Gaither (Fla.) running back Jarvis Giles, one of the state's most coveted recruits, made his college intentions known. And to those who know him best, his choice -- the Tennessee Volunteers -- came as no surprise. Last week, Rivals.com ranked Giles the 103rd best player in the Class of 2009. Two days ago, the same site called him the country's second-best running back in space and fifth-best home run threat. Giles chose the Vols over Florida State, Clemson, Nebraska and Georgia.

Tennessee, do not screw this up. He could be a great addition to a rushing attack that has lost its mojo over the past few seasons.

If anything, it's the passing game that had lost it's mojo. The running game with Foster has kept the Vols in games. Giles is an important signee none the less. Let's all hope he stays healthy until HS graduation. I can't wait for this season to start!

I live in Knoxvegas home of the Vols and they need to be recruiting harder than they are. They are doing better so fart this yearThe recruiting class they had for 08 was down right horrible and there was no excuse. If Fulmer goes 6-5 this year...which is not a stretch. Look for FatFulmer to be on the hot seat. CANES09!!
