He did not handle this well. He wasted our time to the detriment of the Vols. Actions speak. Ignore me if you don’t want to read about it.

If he's played us all this time it does go to character and he's opened it up for himself. Hope he likes Texas because if he's duped on the home state school, people tend to remember it.

Tired of everyone not wanting to hold people accountable, fact is that the problem with a lot of kids and young adults today, they’ve never been held accountable for their actions growing up, he wasted our time to pretty much just show us the middle finger and say bye as he rode off to A&M and all for what? cause we didn’t offer when he camped in the summer? give me a break

Orange defense be in here like. "Well actually he was born in Arkansas and I know that from completely normal reasons and not becuase I stalk his family. He's so excited to be a vol. Vol lock for sure."

Kids weak ass character is showing. Karma is a beotch. If I knew he was this much of a douche I would have never been ok taking him. We had enough of these crap baby attitudes with Butch. Mommy but but dry didn't offer me last summer mommy. Gtfo. I wouldn't expect to see TN coaches waste a trip to that school moving forward.

All the insiders have been viewing this thread within the last 45 mins. It’s odd that they are all so silent now...

I’m not silent. Like I’ve said from the beginning it was a very long shot to get him. I also said if he don’t want to be a vol then I don’t want him. Things with him went off the tracks a couple weeks ago. Not gonna go into details on a message board but I think it got to his head. It all started with Auburn backing off because of Octavius Bothers the LB from Florida. Auburn is where he was going.
Couple things I will clear up. His brother had absolutely nothing to do with it and I think the reason he kept Tennessee in the mix so long is all because of pressure. We are talking about a 17 year old kid.

Are people really complaining about the 2019 class? Even if we miss the linebackers, how do you complain about this class? Other than maybe Means who the coaches really seem to like, there isn't a reach in the class. It will have bookend 5 star offensive tackles, not to mention the studs Pruitt signed for the interior line. It will have the best player in the country, imo, in Crouch. One of the best running backs in the country in Gray. One of the best receivers in the country in Keyton. One of the best QB's in the country in Maurer. The best juco DL who has 3 years to play in Williams. It has quite possibly the best DB class in the nation with Tank and the boys. This is an elite class, even if the rankings don't necessarily show that. One of the reasons the rankings won't show that is because we're going to take less players than those above us. But the class will still finish around 12th, barring a surprise that moves it higher like Pickens. I bet our average will be top 10, which is the most important thing anyway, after Wright signs. I wish that we would've done better at DL and at LB. But at DL we signed some juco guys who can hopefully provide instant impact and we also signed an elite pass rusher in Harrison. At LB we signed Crouch. We could have done better there but all that means is that we have to nail those two positions in the 2020 class.

I don't see how in the world anybody is complaining about this class.

Lets be honest here!..this class has “good” foundation pieces don’t get me wrong.The whole Volnation Board this time last year couldn’t wait for Pruitt to get “1 full year” of recruiting under his belt many posters on here predicted a top 10 and maybe a top 5 class because of the elite coaching staff we had,this class or let’s just say the “finishing” class is very very underwhelming to say the least.i understand you’re very passionate about the vols and believe me I am to Bass but at some point we have to take off the orange sunglasses and call it for what it is,this class helps but it’s not the class you’re describing that will beat a Georgia or a Florida not to mention Kentucky is making strides towards contending for the east and becoming somewhat relevant (slowly).These kind of statements you mentioned above are the same ones that set vol fans up for a hopeful 8 to 9 win season which will not happen with this roster,it’s nothing towards you or against you,you’re one of my favorite posters on here but I’m just saying,Its not spectacular for what these guys are being paid and yes I know recruiting is very fluid.👍🏽

I disagree. This class is very similar to classes Clemson has signed in the last 4 years. The fact is, even if we aren’t ranked top 10, after Wright signs the average player ranking probably will be. This isn’t the ceiling or what we hope to get going forward of course, but it is a very good class that has elite players at every positions.
