'15 TN OT Drew Richmond (Former Ole Miss commit)

[JohnMcA60]

Soooo is SolidRockGolf's daughter a package deal to UT with Richmond?

No too far away

 

[gordonr24]

That seems to be the rumor, really hope so.

I'll be there to confirm if I see ol Butch.

Lol

Maybe this is dad's plan.

Hopefully Drew realizes Ole Miss is boring as hell and having your mom dropping in whenever reduces the fun factor

The awkward conversation with mom about what the sock on the doorknob means. I love my mom but surprise visits are not fun.

Momma knows best

Any tennessee pride sausage?

Clifty Farms country ham, TIFWIW

Some of you guys are just stupid about the whole mom part. You wear orange colored glasses all the time instead of using common sense.

If it was mom pushing him to Tenn then it would be, "his mom knows what's best for him". If his mom is pushing him away from Tenn then "she is trying to control his life".

I have a daughter who is a great runner at the age of 13. She runs 5k's in the 19 mins and some of the older girls received scholly's from USCe, Clemson, Tenn, and Georgia. They took scholly's to USCe and Georgia. My daughter will receive the same offers if she drops about a min on her time over the next 4 years. With the way the world is going, and the way kids are changing these days, we have talked to our daughter about taking a scholly closer to home. I will fully encourage it (UNCC is a good option) over her going to UT and being 5 hours away.

You don't have to see my point. I'm here to be her parent, not others. Same goes for Richmond's mom.

I hope we get him but I fully understand if we don't.

5 hours? From Charlotte? Dude...

Follow me next time, 3.5 hours flat! You just gotta keep up thru those 26 & 40 mountains, I ain't waitin' on ya!

Yeah, I used to live in Greensboro and that is only 4 hrs 20 mins to Knox...Not sure how slow you would have to drive to take 5 hrs just from Charlotte.

Could be a slight difference between a dad wanting his daughter close and a mom wanting her 300 lb grown ass man close...

Simple, he goes via I-77 and I-81. That's a 5 hour trip and only 90 miles out of the way.

Was that the rock slide detour from 5-6 years ago?

 

[OldVol49vfl]

That was I-81 and I-26.

 

[SolidRockGolf]

The last time we went was 8-9 years ago and there were detours on 26 that made it just under 5 hours. Maybe 4:40. We made that trip about 4 times with the same detour so it's what I remembered. When I mapped it, it looks like it's under 4hrs now.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah...because extra weight and a couple of balls will mean you don't want to see your kid anymore.

Vol lock imo. Will solidify our entire class.

It really would just be huge. I had given up on this guy recently. But it looks like flipping him has become a reasonable outcome we can hope and root for.

This guy ^ just called a player committed to another team a "vol lock" lol:

So?

Fortenberry said our best chance at adding another tackle is either Pat Allen or Drew Richmond.

He rarely makes statements like that unless we have a better than legitimate shot.

I'll take the pair, thank you.

Would love to see Burrell added to this class though.

Burrell really isn't an OT, SO maybe we add him as well.

For a professor you are not good at getting the point.
