Surprised nobody has mentioned it yet, but that's 2 of the 4 in the picture that Cody Brown was sharing after Brooks' commitment... The other 2 were Brown and Mims

Does that make us more serious players for Mims than we thought?

Mims and Brown have talked for some time about being a package deal. While there hasn’t been as much smoke about Mims I’ve wondered about him since we’ve supposedly been leading for Brown. Hope we add both!

I think we’re more in play for him now more than we’ve been this whole process. I’m going out on a limb that him and Brown are looking at all this like 🔥🍊👀

well, i think it's been a known for a hwile that Brown is high on the board and that he felt really good about TN....definite smoke.

Mims...i've just penciled him at UGA....haven't given it much thought again til today.................

i didn't give kamar much thought either cause of the FL committ/decommit merry go round.....

and Brooks...well, i did think we had a shot with him...you dont' visit as much as he has and not be a real consideration. never thought he'd come off the board this early though.

I think he knew what it would start once he went ahead and locked himself in.

Recruiting at an elite levels takes 2-3 years now. Have to start building those relationships early on. Pruitt and crew did a really good job being behind the elite programs, and now we’re seeing how elite he and his crew are now that they’re on an even playing field. If players could take visits, I think we’d have even more momentum right now

sounds like it, and between Kamar and brooks, they were apparently on the same page.
kinda sour grapes cause it's hindsight and it worked out, but i kinda felt like this is what should've/could've happened with the group of in state guys from last cycle....especially Tyler and Jay Hardy. once Mays and Lawrence jumped in, i think it owuld have been better for the class in general had Tyler gone public, maybe that would have helped keep jay in the boat?

doens't matter now. it worked out...

but if these two guys, can have the influence they think they can? ooof. i'm ready for it.

This fanbase will be insufferable in the best way possible if the Vols come roaring back. So much pent-up steam to be let out.

You have no idea. We have taken so much sh*t from opposing fanbases in this conference. I’ve taken enough from the low IQ Memphis Tiger fans where I live so I’m ready to let loose. I’ve built up a lot of anger in the past decade.

I agree. I just think that Jay was such a head case and such an absolute odd ball, no one was thinking he would be anything but ours BUT he pulled the rug out from under everyone so that’s on him not the in state guys. Keshawn even called him right after his commitment and was like “Dude wtf, what happened?” That tells you a lot.

oh, i agree. i just think had they all gone public, even if Jay stayed silent, there'd of been a lot more attention oh the whole group, more unofficial visits, more time to spend iwth team mates, other prospects and commits, coaches etc....

anyway, it's water under the bridge at this point.....

i hope these two guys are frequent visitors to knoxville.

Mims would be HUGE get.

Hoping all these guys connect like last year and stick to their commitments. We had a big summer in recruiting last year, and even after the debacle we had to start the season we held onto pretty much everyone that mattered. Only lost Lovie Jenkins and Ojulari (who was always just waiting on a green light from UGA or LSU).

It helped having alphas and leaders like Lawrence, Mays, Baron (he actually commited in June), Hyatt and Bailey in the fold. We will need guys like that this year as well.
