Just wanted to update a few things. We had some meetings this afternoon before the Peyton thing so that's why we were out of pocket.
First, on Bennett, a huge pickup. In talking to some people who saw him this spring, it's a really good pickup. He's put on some good weight but has kept that athleticism and that's why he was really impressive this spring.
As for the Alabama angle, after an early offer back in January from the Tide and visiting around that time, they never really hit it off. I think the Tide were looking at some other guys and Bennett wanted to explore all of his options. Worked out for Tennessee's benefit as he was a wanted man by schools around the country.
Now, on TJ Moore, I'm continuing to hear he is close to doing something. Now we will see if he follows through with his tweet and announces something big or decides to slow down a bit. But, definitely worth watching this afternoon.
Finally, I've seen some people asking where Tennessee is in the rankings (because ours haven't updated yet and I apologize) but the Vols will be in the top eight when all is said and done. I'm not exactly sure where they will be because I'm not sure who else received commitments this week, but Tennessee will be up there.
We will be having Inside the Fort tonight so I'll be taking all questions then and I expect we will have a lot to talk about after all the events of this weekend.
And starting tomorrow, we will be resetting the board and listing some top guys still on the board in certain positions.
QUICK EDIT
Just traded messages with Moore and he said he will likely be making a commitment this week.
