Just the nature of the beast in recruiting. | This applies to all schools. |

| If he picks Alabama = offer was firm.
If he picks AU or TN = Alabama offer wasn't commit-able.
If he picks Alabama and then decommits for another school = POS Thug.  |

| Yeah it would be really nice. tennessee has a chance because alabama has recruited so many linebackers, but we will see. I know he has visited auburn twice and he told me he also really likes lsu |

| I like our chances with this guy.
From VQ
"I talked to coach Ansley. He's the one recruiting me. I also talked to coach Sal, he's the one who gave me the offer. Me and coach Sal have always had a great connection," said Toney."
"He loves me, likes me the way I play on the field. Me and (Ansley's) connection is great," Toney said. "He has me call him twice a week. We're tight. Our relationship is not just all about football. Tennessee is a family football thing and I like that."
"I wasn't really any school's fan. The past four or five years I've been with Alabama because of Nick Saban, but that isn't going to stop me from looking at other schools." |

| Yeah I like our chances too. Said he wasn't a lifelong Tide fan either. Became a fan when Saban got there but if Bama is slow playing him that would be good for us. He'll be a very good fit at LB for us. I like how we are getting a lot of big time players on campus together on Mar.3 Junior Day. |

| I never said we did not have a chance. I am just telling you what he has told me. He really likes LSU even though they have not offered him yet. |
