Sorry I hadnt seen any of that yet.
I posted here years ago as MrBamSeydu.  Left the board about 5 years ago.  Never going to give out specific sources (not necessary) but I know roughly 2 dozen HS coaches in TN/GA and a few of those are ex Vols.  Not all are head coaches.  I know some regional and local Rivals guys and an ex VQ guy very well.  I’ve been in the same recruiting group text for about 7 years.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten info from that group text over the years... probably 40-50 verified in hindsight including coaching changes, hirings, commitments, AJ Johnson stuff... everything.  Some stuff I hear the same way a few other posters on here do.  I’d say we probably share at least partially the same circles.
