I know many have a sad trombone feeling right now, but a couple things...
* It's easy to forget the success Tennessee had in the early signing period. Don't. The Vols had the biggest jump in the rankings and landed impact players like DWA, Alontae Taylor and Jeremy Banks.
* Barring a signing day stunner, JJ Peterson is signing with UT tomorrow.
* Finally — and most importantly — information (for all the actual reporters trying to cover this class) has been REALLY HARD to come by for prospects right now. Staffs have closed ranks and parents and kids have shut it down. This leads to all sorts of rumors, rampant speculation and more tea leave reading than is responsible. That is not to discount all info. Some sources are legit. It's simply been a tough month to cover sifting through all the movement though. Fluidity is the name of the game, and it's clear with this class, that there's several more chapters to be written before this book publishes tomorrow. I said buckle up, and I meant it. Guys like Walker and Copeland have been enigmas the entire process. Neither kid were ever going to be slam dunks anywhere — Tennessee or somewhere else. As always, we'll do our best to keep y'all abreast on everything we know.
