Fort talked to Bubba....

"I think he's much more open to playing football now than he was a month ago.

I think the coaches have done a really good job of recruiting him and he's seriously considering Tennessee.

He's talked to Dave Serrano about playing baseball at Tennessee so I think he's more comfortable with that now, too.

We will be watching closely how this plays out but it definitely seems like Tennessee has some momentum and he thinks he could do well with the football program."

More from Fort...

"I think he wondered if his stock was as high in football as it is in baseball.

I really like his film and it think the way Tennessee has recruited him he believes he fits right in.

He will play in the Miss-Ala All Star game next month so I think his stock could jump pretty high here soon."

Swan Mans thoughts on VQ...

"The guys film is amazing....... it really is........as good as any we have offered so far.

Look I'm not saying he's as good as JG...... but this may be a true case of "under the radar".

Hard to get in on a QB this late in the game that is worth a crap...... this kid would be the very best possibility of the "late gets"

I hope we get him for baseball. I know he would have to be on football scholarship, but I still think baseball is his future.

I was a member of VQ for over 10 years. If you are saying that Swan Man is Carlos Younger, then you are wrong. Unless Swan died and Carlos stole his username. Swan is a good guy with real connections to the program. Carlos is an arrogant poster who thinks he knows it all because he roomed with JJ McClesky at UT and a few folks let him write a couple recruiting articles.

So "Swan Man" is a good guy who has real connections and not C Younger? Hmm ok maybe I'm wrong. But at least the guy I quoted is the one with the real connections, right?

If we are simply taking a QB for depth purposes, give me the one with enormous upside. Thompson's upside seems much higher than Lewis'. Outside of those two, I don't see us making much noice in the QB dept.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound signal caller visited Rocky Top on Saturday to see the Vols play Missouri. He was also in town when Tennessee lost to Alabama.

Thompson is in the midst of trying to figure out not only what program he wants to join, but also what sport he wants to pursue. He said he returned to Knoxville Saturday to visit more with the coaches and take in the atmosphere once again.

During his visit, he learned more about Tennessee's offense and feels like it could be a good fit with his skill set. "I do see myself fitting in the offense they run," Thompson said, "because the offense I run now is really similar to the one I run in high school."

Thompson has been committed to play baseball at Auburn for some time but a Tennessee offer has changed his thinking. Thompson said if he decided to go to Tennessee he would play both football and baseball. "I would play both at Tennessee. I've talked to the baseball coach, too," Thompson said.

As for the football program, he said it feels like a family environment. Thompson added he will make a decision after Christmas.

If he's that good of a baseball player he should just play it. Not going to be a starting quarterback in the SEC and a top draft pick in baseball. Why risk a bad injury?
