Some kid in Louisiana might not want the local 'necks giving him hell for several months just because he decided to play for UT instead of the Bayou Bengals.

I guess, but since when is a guy his size going to be scared of what anyone else says? You'd want the kid to be mentally tough too, right? Not to mention proud of UT

If you were the star football player at your highschool. And most people there were Alabama fans or LSU fans or something and you came out early to say you were going to UT or another rival school, your classmates and friends and neighbors get pretty hot headed about that kind of stuff.
Hell, we get hotheaded at each other on here and we are all UT fans.

He's still got a whole season to play. He doesn't need his teammates pissed at him or the fans in the stands booing him. That will seriously happen some places. Arkansas for sure.

I read about one recruit (can't remember who) that kept his commitment silent so other teams would come watch him and maybe notice some of his teammates.

That is a very noble thing to do.

I really hope that we do have a shot a Jenkins. He looks like an incredible player.

That's a very good point. I really never understood the silent commit thing either, but that makes sense.

Hawkins name has surfaced lately as many have speculated that the defensive back has committed to the University of Maryland, but Mencarini assured me that is not the case and added that Hawkins is currently on vacation.

The 5-foot-10, 180-pound Hawkins has narrowed his choices though. Maryland, Georgia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Tennessee, Michigan and Oregon are the seven schools Hawkins will choose from.

As to when Hawkins will commit, Mencarini said he does not think his star athlete has a timetable.

I cant see us adding another db until we hear something from Miles, Gordon, or Teague. But, rumors are that this is Chief's guy.

Thanks Volsguy12. I was wandering which Gordon Rex was talking about.

[Volsguy12]

let me clarify, the one rex was talking about is the Eric Gordon from Hillsboro. The one committed to Arkansas is David Gordon out of Oklahoma.
