Thats something you dont say to a recruit of his caliber you say hold on Ill let you talk to someone.

So what you're saying is that we can pretty much kiss Mr. Dye goodbye? Nice work in the Athletic Dept.! A bastion of competence!

And, quite frankly, if that was indeed how it all went down, I wouldn't blame Mr. Dye at all for saying "So long, suckers," to UT. Hopefully this will be repaired and in a hurry, but may be beyond fixable now.

Orange Venom, you think this was just some knucklehead underling in the Athletic Dept. that didn't know any better or someone who ought to have known to have put him through to a coach or go ahead and sign him on for Junior Day? If it was a knucklehead, Dooley himself ought to get on the phone and call Tyshon personally to invite him up for March 3.

Probably not the whole story...

Sucks if it did happen, but Dye needs to call his recruiter or Dooley to tell them he wants to come in for junior day. Not the AD number that anyone can get online. There are many interns, etc. who work in the football offices and do not communicate with the coaches. If one of them fielded a call from a recruit and went to a coach to tell them they need to talk on the phone with somebody, they would probably get lit into.

It was a woman receptionist so she probably didnt know but she was told he had a UT offer. And she said well the coaches will invite him because its invite only

I'm sure whoever answered the phone was following protocol. You can't expect a secretary in the AD to know who Tyshon is. The point should be why isn't he invited in the first place?

Seems reasonable to me. If it is indeed invite only and he did not have an invite, the lady who answered the phone was right. I think it's on the coaches if he did not have an invite. We may not know the whole story either. Maybe he was asked if he wanted to come and he said he could not at some point. Maybe his schedule opened up now and he was trying to get an invite. I would think if that was the case, a coach would have called him back.

Which leads me to think they did not invite him. Why? Who knows, but they must have their reasons.

The coaches need to get on the ball here...he is a very good RB
