Not another “that’s what she said” gif.

In the Recruiting Chat last night, RC said he wanted to come to TN - and TN wanted him, but they were unable to make it happen ( paraphrasing). Odd comment, almost as if something else prevented it.

“It just didn't work out. Tennessee planned to take him and wanted to, and Jefferson wanted to play for the Vols, but they weren't able to make it work.”

Numbers?

Yeah definitely grades or something weird. Callahan is unwilling to say what exactly. I think it's something personal for Ramon he doesn't want to say. Maybe even an issue found out through a physical test?

Could be medical. Could be something else that admissions wouldn’t sign off on. Grades, bs, etc.

Sorry it did not work out. Wish him the very best.

well, i hope small and wright can hold up this year & williams/sampson show some flashes.

 

[rdk4121]

That does sound like a medical issue at that point. Sucks for the kid.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Well shoot

Wish he was coming, but RB is the least of the concerns for UT right now. Jmo

A few weeks ago, no idea of his existence. I can easily get back to that. Would’ve been a good pickup imo. Wait…who are we talking about?

We are one injury away from it being a major concern unless Whitehead improves exponentially.

Maybe…..I still think JTW will be the best freshman on the roster. Just a gut feeling….

They aren’t ready to hear this at all. You can tell.

Meh JW has good size. The biggest issue for freshmen is pass blocking. Think he'll be fine there as long as he studies like he should.

Emmitt Smith, I think.

It is a concern. But, this one did not work out. I will not get rustled unless and until I see evidence it is a true concern. Lack of depth at some positions did impact us significantly last year.

Idk if I would say the “least”.
