It shouldn't. We should take our focus onto Sweet and whatever other OTs are more likely/reasonable to be Vols. Just think it's very unlikely that we land Richmond.

Nailed it, he's solid to Ole Miss which I hate.. Got folks I know with MUS ties says it's all but a lock to Mississippi.

What's the story behind this?

I heard about this just yesterday. Someone correct me if I am wrong, or add details I missed. From what I gather, Dale was a MUS player that was recruited by our staff to Cincinnati. When Butch came here, he wanted to come, but they did not bring him to Tennessee. dale stayed at Cincinnati for one year, and transferred to MTSU. And since he went to MUS (where Richmond goes) there is some backlash from that situation that may be causing their coaches to steer Richmond toward Ole Miss instead of Tennessee.

Maybe. Richmond is still hanging out at Tennessee too much to say that just yet. College football recruiting is starting to resemble a soap opera... for sports fans.

Don't think that is the case. Butch took Dale as a commitment in the summer of 2011 as a member of the 2012 recruiting class. Cincinnati over signed that year and were forced to grey shirt Dale. I think he was the only one in that class or at least the only one that wasn't told ahead of time. Some think that the MUS staff is using it against Butch. I don't like seeing these things happen, but you can clearly see Butch's recruiting strategy, and it has been successful. Unfortunately, this is the way it is, and it is big boy athletics.

I think Mullen ends up at FL , Michigan may pursue Freeze though . Could he turn down a school with all that tradition and likely more money to stay at Ole Miss? Freeze leaving is the only way we flip Richmond IMO

OM will go back to being irrelevant next year as they lose a lot and only had that one top class.

This - and Drew needs to pay attention. UT's stock is headed up fast. Ole Miss has topped out and heading back to where they belong.
