1) Thoughts on Labryan Ray coming? That's three UVs since March, and he's talked about coming back for the Bama game as well before an OV later. Obviously would be an upset over Bama, but...
2) Thoughts on where UT is with evaluating and potentially pulling the trigger on Calbert? Kid pretty obviously would jump on the offer and it sounds like he's having a really good season. I like that he's willing to be patient and wait on the Vols - hope it works out for him.
3) Sticking with the OL, thoughts on offering Jerry Drake today? I know he was a guy who they had in camp this summer and elected not to offer at the time. Does his senior film just look really good? He's got monster size, is the son of a former NFL lineman, and is an EE, so I can see the appeal. But curious and timing of the offer and what you think his interest is.
4) I know you jumped into the Jacob Phillips thread a bit, but do you think our renewed interest is a result of what the staff thinks about the LB talent on the team; some of our current commitments having poor seasons; some of our current commitments looking around; or a change in how we view him as a prospect? Seems like we're a real longshot and that's mostly our own doing, so I'm more interested in what you think about why we're showing more interest lately.
5) I know most are, but which commitments are not going coming to the game?
6) Other than Ekiyor, anyone bringing family with them to your knowledge? That's usually a sign that at the very least the kid is very serious (which we know is the case with Emil) or that someone is ready to do something.
7) Where do you think Conliffe is on the DL board? I know he's not going to be ready to do something before Butler is, but how do you think they view these two and maybe Malik Young in terms of who they would take now, who they'd take no matter what, and who they would put someone else off for if there isn't room for everyone.
8) Thoughts on Butler right now a couple of weeks before he announces?
