O'brien is a luxury not a necessity. We've recruited so much on the d-line this year that it just seems that the scholarship could be better spent.

I think he decommits from UT, but I don't think we take him. As Pipkins pointed out, we are good with him and Wormley and we have depth around them with current players as well.
This would shock me tbh.

The other question is, then, why turn away Schutt?

Schutt is a NT and so is Pipkins. O'Brien is more of a DT.
Also, pretty sure Wormley might've grown and the coaches might be worried about him moving inside. 6'7 is really really tall for a DT. If he can't get low enough he'll have to stay outside.

I always wanted O'Brien in the class, but for whatever reason, the UM coaches are not sold on him. I think they might rather bank the schollie than give it to O'Brien. I think it is a mistake, if he really wants to come, but in our coaches we trust.

decommitting. I had checked on volnation before I went to the gym... not sure about now though.
Just checked again, and now they have a thread on it.

The tallest DT in the NFL is 6'7. Chris Wormley is still growing.
Again, he can totally still play inside. It's just a question of him getting low enough in his stance to excel off the line.

Could you imagine though having QBs try to throw over him jumping with his arms extended? Would be awesome.

I just went to the Tenn 247 sight.....good God that thing is tough on the eyes. Seriously, it hurts my eyes to read it.
EDIT: I just trudged through the first page of that abomination and didn't see anything on DOB.
And finally, holy schadenfreude batman. That entire sight/fanbase is on the ledge, ready to plummet to their death. I guess Phil Folmer wasn't so bad after all, eh Vols?

We are not going after DOB. The last three spots are OL, TE, and CB. The last spots will be saved for next imo. Plus I would rather grab another DT in next class.
