Tom, I'd like to have a taste of your infinite knowledge
Just wondering what our status is with Jelani. I heard he was supposed to trim his list down to 12 (ha!), and I know we're almost guaranteed to get an official. What are our chances with him?
Also, O-line, corner, and safety are the biggest remaining needs in the 09 class. I know we're zooming in on Lewan and Vlad, what other prospects do we have a good shot at in those three need areas?

I'm not sure how good of a shot we have with these guys, but these are the kids in those areas you named that still have us on their list.
Taylor Lewan OL
Travis Bond OL
Quinton Washington OL
Mywan Jackson DB
Angelo Hadley DB
Josh Robinson DB
Donovan Tate DB
Vlad Emilien DB
Those are really the kids that are seriously looking at us. It's so late in the game it's hard to say where we're at. They don't like to show their cards too much. But with the positions you asked for these are the kids.

D.J. Swearinger, Tenessee decommit, is back on the market. I've heard South Carolina is likely to land him but I know before he committed to UT he had us on his short list. Do we have a chance with him?

I think we're going to go after Je'Ron Stokes harder. I think we're in good shape with Vlad Emilien, and gaining with Josh Robinson, so I don't think we'll go too hard. I think he'll end up at South Carolina.

That's all for this edition of recruiting roundup with Sam Webb... errr TomVH.
Thank you Tom.
