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

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.

Are we checking his stats?

I have not taken a lot of the Richmond news very serious until now. If his Family is coming on this visit something has to be up. I wonder if his Mother has been to Knox. with him before or is this the first time? We all know Mom's matter.

I hope we get Drew Richmond but I don't know if he'll be a plug and play starter as a true freshman. I watched some of his one on one OL/DL battles at the opening and was not overly impressed.

I think he'll be a guy who takes a year or two before he develops into a starting left or right tackle.

IIRC his mom has been on campus before

According to Hubbs this morning, Richmond's parents have been on campus once but they haven't been here since July. Hubbs said whether or not they accompany Drew this weekend could go a long way in telling how much of a shot Tennessee has in the race. Distance from home has been an issue for them.
 
Had not seen that anywhere yet. Everything I saw said 1 day at UT and 1 at Bama.

From Ron's post yesterday from VQ

I just traded some texts with him and he confirmed with me that he will be in Knoxville this weekend. He told me he will be at Tennessee 'all weekend' when I asked about the possibility of him visiting Alabama this weekend as well.

We will see if a visit from Nick Saban today or tomorrow changes that plan.

If we can fight him off and get his undivided attention from him and his parents all weekend we have a shot.

If Bama convinces him to split his time up and wait to see what Prince does, I think he'll stay a Rebel.

Butch Jones is supposed to be with him tomorrow and Freeze has already had his in-home visit.

I'll add this; it's only Tuesday night and I've heard that Nick Saban could be at the school as well tomorrow. Also, can't rule out him taking a visit after signing day as he mentioned on Sunday it was still a possibility.

Whole family in Knoxville all weekend? Yes!

Someone find Saban's car and slash the tires so he can't make the trip. It looks like this but in red...

This recruitment is so confusing.

In the summer I felt so confident.

Even today I feel like Ole Miss lock but who the heck knows? Strange recruitment.

I think Bama. No other reason except he seemed to be willing to wait till after NSD to announce so he could get that visit in. Imo Prince taking the trip to OSU may have soured the midget and he's pushing for Drew now.
 
I saw on another message board a rumor that Richmond's girlfriend is at or going to UT. Has anyone else heard this or is it some idiot thinking of Williams?
