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

I didn't watch all star game but he had some really good reps vs Cowart in practice one on ones. He has loads of potential in Year 2/3 in a program is why people are high in him. He isn't a guy that will be ready to make a Tunsil/Robinson day 1 impact.


And the only OT likely to have that impact this recruiting cycle is Ivey. I don't think Hyatt will have that impact unless he puts on some good weight. I don't think we should be expecting those types of results. I still think we need an OT or two in this class.
 
Ok. There are many here that played college ball, or are coaches, or have had children that have gone through the recruiting process. The problem is that there are many more that haven't. Those who have will back me up on this. The recruiting process is a crazy, crazy thing. The better the recruit, the crazier it is. You have parents who really get caught up it all the hype and fantasy that is created by coaches, boosters, etc. With that being said, how do you not expect a 17-18 year old kid not to. Some kids are extremely mature and have a very good support system around them that have nothing but the best intentions for the kids. Some kids are extremely gullible and have people around them that are looking for a meal ticket and only their own personal interests in mind. I have mentioned this in other threads, but again as members of VN, if you consider yourself a mature adult. Please stop hating on these kids. I don't care if they said something you didn't like on Twitter, or led our coaches to believe they were coming here and committed elsewhere, or even tried to recruit against us while on a visit. If they are not some kind of gangbanging, dope dealing, home invading criminal is that other little petty stuff really that serious? What have they done to hurt you personally? From all accounts DR is not a bad kid. Neither are many of these kids that receive personal attacks on VN because they didn't choose our school in the most mature way possible. I know that I can't change anyone through a post on here, but if the actions of teenagers being recruited affect you so much that you have to say vile things about them on the Internet, maybe following recruiting is just not for you.

Richmond does have a pretty good support system, to my knowledge, and he goes to one of the top 2 HS in the city. He's intelligent enough to remain academically qualified easily.
 
No offense here because I believe you do hear things from dealing with players.

However, don't act like you've only tried 4 times to act like an authority on things. You definitely come across on here that you know a lot even though you don't.

Again, I do believe you say what you hear. It's not your fault it's not solid info.

Me coming across that way probably has more to do with me being a sarcastic smart a$$ lol. People swing and miss all the time up in here but that's part of the game.

I love this place man but these idiots make it tough sometimes haha. You're good people VinA.
 
DR is now #12 nationally on Rivals

Them stars....

Can't lie. Want. I like Allen better, but want. Richmond and Allen would make this class the best Tennessee class ever on paper. Not likely, but Butch.

Wow, I'm flattered that you keep such close tabs on me. So a handful of posts and I've been here since 09.

And through the process I've learned that not only coaches opinion on situations can be wrong, but also information from players can be too. I am simply repeating things that I head, I could give a ____ less about likes man. I've been here for quite some time And stay because I enjoy this forum, sans posters like yourself who follow me around keeping tabs on each and every post.

Get a life or get a hobby bro.

Whatever, I've been here for almost 8 years I've developed a thick skin. I'll keep doing me even if it does pi$$ a few idiots in my fan club off.

Alright so yesterday I had the opportunity to talk to a certain 2015 legacy commit for about 20 mins. I'll post what I heard about specific recruits in other threads. Anyways, what I was told was that Drew is receiving the Oher treatment (read between the lines on this), and is one to seriously watch on NSD to flip to us. He seemed positive that this situation was going to unfold so I can really only believe it to happen. Typically I am a little skeptical of what these guys say because they are bigger homers than we are but he said it with some serious conviction.

Bumping from page fo'hunnit for those who haven't seen GFW's post yesterday.
 
Just going to put this out there extra benefits happen everywhere, there are places that are worse than others but dirty recruiting happens even if the coaches are squeaky clean. Just the nature of the beast.
