It looks like Davante Bourque will be our RB for this class. I believe LSU wanted him at LB so that's why he decided to look elsewhere. I think TN has abou 4 or 5 spots left and could possibly end up in the top 10, if they finish strong.

Also, 4* DT, Korren Kirven was in town, with the other official visitors. I read that Dooley and Lance Thompson convinced him to take the visit and that he left impressed. I believe that was his 3rd trip to Knoxville so hopefully he's giving TN a serious thought. However, like mentioned, Bama seems to be the team to beat.

About Kirven

"It was great. I got to see a lot of stuff I haven't seen yet. Third time being up here and they showed me a lot. I enjoyed the coaches and I hung out with the players and stuff. It was a great visit. I loved it," Kirven said.One thing that helped the Vols on his visit was that Tennessee replaced former defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox with former Alabama assistant Sal Sunseri as the Sunseri and Kirven know each other well."Coach Sal was my recruiting coordinator at Alabama and once he left and came here it was a big thing. They definitely got an advantage right there with coach Sal," Kirven said. "That's a big thing with him coming here and he's a great coach and a great recruiter, so it's an advantage."

"I wouldn't say that they're number one. I don't really have any placement right now because I haven't taken all my visits, but they're definitely right there at the top," Kirven said."Hanging out with the players was fun. I enjoyed seeing the facilities and they were nice. Everything was great. It was a great visit and I enjoyed a lot of it," Kirven said. -VQ

Some info on 4* DT, Justin Shanks, after his visit.
I will give you the short version of what I just told our members at Warchant on the FSU site. I just got off the phone with Justin Shanks and he said that he had a great time at Tennessee this weekend.I then asked him if he was still firm in his commitment and he said. "I don't know. Not thinking about decommitting but everything is just up in the air. I will be visiting FSU next weekend, "said Shanks.Paul, Brent or the other guys will probably have a more detailed report of the visit but I figured I would just pass that along for you guys. I also plan on talking with the Prattville assistant coaches to get their takes on it sense they help a lot with the recruiting process for each kid. Sounds like they did give Justin some things to think about but I also want to see what he says after a few days as well. If the coaches give me anything I will drop off a note when they get back with me. - Michael Langston

What did I think will happen with what he does in recruiting?Well all I can say is before this he was pretty much all FSU and his Prattville coaches even suggested that. I think what Tennessee did was at least give him a lot to think about. I don't see this having an impact on Goldman or an effect because Justin has never been that type of kid to worry about other players. I think to be honest I have to wait and see what Justin says a few days after the visit and what his coaches tell me to get a really strong gauge for where things really stand. I believe he likes the comfort level of Tennessee when on campus so it's a possibility but I don't want to overreact and just throw something out there about which way it could go until I speak with him in a few days. But they made a strong impression that's clear. Playing time is important to JBear, which is his nickname. He would like to get on the field early but it's not everything. I think comfort with the DL coach is important as well.

Rumor is that 4* DB, Deion Bonner, committed tonight, on his visit. Guess we'll find out sometime soon, if true.

Sounds that Bonner did commit.

"I have had it in my mind that I wanted to go to Tennessee for the last three days or so," Bonner said. "I got a chance to sit down with coach Sal Tuesday and Tennessee is where I'm going."

With signing day coming up on Wednesday, here are a few guys that Tennessee has the best shot at. Tennessee only has 4 remaining spots. (this is just my personal list)

4* WR Cordarrelle Patterson (between TN, LSU and UGA)
4* WR Quinshad Davis (between TN and Wake Forest)
4* DB A.J. Leggett (committed to Marshall, academic risk)
4* DT Korren Kirven (between VT, Bama and TN, will probably stay instate)
4* DT Justin Shanks (committed to FSU)
4* LB Richie Brown (seems to be an Ole Miss lean)
3* DT Jacoby Briscoe (committed to Miami)

Yeah, losing Santos hurt, but then turning around and losing Peters really hurts. I hope TN can close strong tomorrow.
