'20 TN DE Jay Hardy (Auburn commit)

[Leeleesteeth]

Imagine you at 17. Two of the prettiest girls fighting over you. You saying yes too fast? Or you riding it out as long as you can? Getting what you can out of it?

When I was 17 I would've found a way to commit to both.

appears you wouldn't have been alone seeing as how that's what Hardy did, as well as Washington, who committed to 4 schools apparently lol

Question about Jay Hardy, is he really good. Is he a game changer for the defensive line? I've watched his highlights and they were ok...

Yes he's good. Size wise, he's probably more of a pure 3-4 DE whereas Tyler Baron is probably more of a jack in a typical 3-4. I'm sure the staff will tailor their weight to whatever plans they have for them though.

Glad I’m not the only one whose thought this. Big guy, just seems sluggish and not real explosive. If he signs with UT, I hope I’m proven wrong!

Dont know what tape yall are watching but he looks impressive to me

Holding out for more $$$?

Definitely not..Peer pressure from other instate committs and believe he likes TN and our Coach's better.

Yeah I said that tongue-in-cheek. I think if he truly wanted to be at Auburn he would already be.

 

[fifties fan]

Actually, we're hoping if he signs with us it will give us an 'in' with his '22 teammate who was the real star of the championship game.

Just for posterity, I was curious so I looked it up. According to 247 Rocker this year has been:

Lead on
Dom Bailey

Secondary on
Tyler Baron
Jimmy Callaway
Omari Thomas
Reginald Perry

Last year

Lead on
Savion
Darel Middleton

Secondary on
Elijah Simmons

I definitely think there's room for improvement there, but it's not like he's doing nothing. And I think his ability to develop players offsets some of this. But that's 8 really good players he's helped recruit here the last 2 years. He does seem to do better as the support recruiter and not the lead though. I also think he is going to retire anyway so we will probably try to get a better recruiter in there. But man I hate losing a guy who is that good at developing players.

Rocker has a more laid back, approach to recruiting. It works for some but not others. It’s not as effective in this day and age where kids need constant attention.

I’d be fine with retaining him but we’re never going to recruit at as high a level with him there imo.

Honestly at this pt, itd be nice to keep him from Auburn. But ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DW how is it going ?

 

[onevol74]

Same could be said for UT.

 

[benholt06]

Well that goes back to why he committed in the first place. We can really only $peculate but it doesn’t seem like it’s beyond a flip for whatever reason at this point. And if it is great class without him.

So why didn't he early sign with AU?

When I was 17 I would've found a way to end up being a great friend to both of them while they ended up dating jerks that they knew really loved them and would change for them.

I has the sad.
