Sounds a little better than it did when the turnover first took place. It's going to take a lot of hard work to hang onto this kid. GoVols. +1 for the update Ryan.

In a year our O-line could be a complete turnover. Tiny will turn pro after next season and with seniors, we are sorely thin for the '14 season. We could really use this young man. With O-linemen, I place little value in the number of stars because their measurables are so few; size, intellegence, power are the main factors. If Jackson stays we will at least have four redshirt sophmores to start with him but very, very thin behind them. What's your gut on this one? I am surprised he's still around. Man I hated to lose Koehler. Is the new staff putting a proority on O-linemen?

Got to hang on to him. With the numbers of O-line that Jones wants I'm sure he is a premium target for our recruiters.

I'll be very concerned if he visits Arkansas. If he doesn't, Vol IMO.

Maybe we hang on to this one. Looks like we're going to lose Jason Carr to Alabama. I'm getting a sick feeling about this class. Man, I hope our coaches know what they're doing and can turn this around before signing day.
