No. Feb. His family is just going through a lot. That is why didn’t sign yet. I’m hoping things will get better for them here soon.

Gotcha. I know you think he is coming to us. But if he waits until Feb he might not have a spot. Looks like Pruitt has been trying to get as many EEs as possible so he can start training them right away.

Yes, I know what you mean. He just wants to be here, even if it is blue shirt, or whatever. He feels like he can compete with the best, and I know he isn’t scared to. You know that this kid is a competitor. He loves competition.
 
I'm from west Tennessee also. I've done some digging. I think OD is fos. I don't know the kid or his family, but the people I have talked to says that the whole Tennessee is his dream school is bull crap. He likes what he is hearing from the vols, but he really doesn't have what he considers a leader at the moment. He is just excited that more than likely he will be playing SEC football for someone. Not to long ago that seemed like dream only to him
 
I just want people to stop saying “word on the hill is”. That just makes me believe it less. Real insiders say campus....everyone knows that.
 
It's a pretty big deal for a player from a small Tennessee burg to get a scholarship for UTK. Going to the barn or mizzou might not make him any new friends that help him in life. Playing for Tennessee definitely will. He would become a Vol For Life, which is a good ticket.

So the people you have talked to are somehow more valid and legit than those OD has because you say so? Seems totall legit.
 


Was thinking about this cat when the Pappoe thread was getting bumped. He seems like a poor mans Papoe. He doesn’t have the outrageous SPARK score, but he closes like a hawk. Watching the HUDL I saw a lot of plays where he was on the wrong hash and ran past his own teammates to get the ball carrier.

Seems to me he should work on keeping his current weight but get stronger. And with his football speed he should get into the field as that Pruitt-style move-around Star. More like the hybrid type like Jabrill Peppers. Not to put that on him (Ricky Bobby), but similar role.
