Another poster mentioned that Drew's coach said that his girlfriend is a student at UT. Any confirmation? Would he want to be with her or avoid her because he wants to recruit over her?

She is at UT. Idk how much of a play that is or how much interest is still there.

Goes past signing day? That would be absurd. What, he hasn't had enough time? Still likes the recruiting process?

Not sure Drew took his recruiting serious til now. To each their own I guess. It'd be nice to have him stay all weekend, but if he takes visits after us then I doubt he comes here.

I agree with those who think he sticks with Ole Miss but the Richmond recruitment has all the signs of a player being forced into a decision that he doesn't like. After this weekend he will have visited Knoxville A LOT since last July (at least 5 times I believe).

Everyone respectable in the UT recruiting world said Drew Richmond's recruitment would go all the way to signing day. If he had committed to UT on sept 9th, it would have been the same but in reverse for UT and Ole Miss. I'm still baffled that people are "fed up" or "surprised" that this is the way his recruitment has played out when those in the know had told everyone it was going to go all the way to signing day.

There are a lot of things in play here. I'm not going to get into all the details, but things are trending for UT, but nothing is in stone. Just sit back and see how the visit this weekend goes with his family. Richmond did not like Mahoney, but Mahoney has really put some effort as of late and i think that issue has cleared up a bit. There are a couple smaller ones, but i like what i've heard on the Richmond front.

Sit back and enjoy the ride, it's going to be a fun signing day, we have 2 or 3 recruitment situations that can go either way.

Maybe the momentum shift is a result of the potential staff reorganization??

Per Hubbs

On Wednesday, Jones and multiple Tennessee coaches are expected in the home of 5-star offensive tackle Drew Richmond. Richmond, who is committed to Ole Miss, also confirmed to Volquest that he will be in Knoxville this weekend for an official visit. At this time we expect his family to make the trip with him as well.

Jones may not be the only coach Richmond receives a visit from Wednesday as some close to the Alabama program told Volquest.com that Nick Saban and tide offensive line coach Mario Cristobal were expected in Memphis on Wednesday to see Richmond.

Despite a recent commitment from 4-star offensive tackle Isaiah Prince, Alabama will continue to pursue Richmond because of Prince's likely visit to Ohio State this weekend. There are a few other offensive linemen on the board for Alabama we're told, but Richmond could quickly become a top target.

I don't think so. It's more to do with Mahoney. Early on, Butch and Elder had to fix an issue with the MUS staff from their time at Cincinnati. It's more of a combination of Mahoney patching up some issues along with some family stuff that makes Ole Miss an attractive option b\c of proximity. UT has made some good progress here the past month, when things 2 months ago looked dead in the water. Either way, Ole Miss's class hasn't turned out the way that Drew had hoped and he sees the writing on the wall between the directions of the two programs right now. 2 months ago, i think you could make a case for what he may have perceived to see in Ole Miss. Anyhow, I like UT's chances here. Butch has his in-home tomm as does Saban. As of right now Drew's family is finally coming up to UT this weekend which could be a huge development. Before it was just Drew and his father. Getting his mother and his brother to come up will be a big sign if it happens.

:yes:

Top this class off with one or both of Richmond and/or Allen and I'm a happy Volunteer.

14/15 are best back to back classes I've ever seen here and been following recruiting since 2000. :rock:
