Messenger just left the "Brick Room" to pick up a letter from the fax and is headed to the War Room: #14 addition to team 119 is: Quart'e Sapp LB 6-2 200 Alpharetta, Ga. 4 star
Bill, several of these were already on campus as early enrollees but counting towards this year in recruiting.
#18 is actually the son of Defensive coordinator Coach Jancek. Not too high on this guy. Zac Jancek QB 6-5 195 Knoxville, Tenn. 2 star
The Tenn War Room Fax machine is probably going to burn up with all the faxes you guys will be getting from your 500 verbals!! Just kidding!
Terry, We can only put 11 on the field at a time but having the fax ring early and often is something that has not happened much at Tennessee until Coach Jones arrived. :wink:
It appears to me three are 5 more bricks to build the Tennessee wall. I have no idea of what rules would allow for the higher number. I do know that recruiting was down for the past 5 years and we did have several Juniors declare for the draft.
