‘23 IL WR Carnell Tate (Ohio State commit)

[volbeast33]

Is it? Feels over

I was pretty confident that we were getting him but it’s not sounding good.

1:00 sharp? What we thinking?

Nobody knows anything. Just guessing lol

Sounds like people were lied to. Bob_Vols and Matts seemed certain he was a Vol. Either that or something changed in the last few days.

 

[Ttucke11]

Would've loved to have him for sure. But I'm not worried about WR tbh.

[mrmax86]

We're so close to his commitment, why are we not just holding off on giving up until he tells us directly?

They can only pass on what they hear directly or indirectly from those in the know. Sounds like Tate stayed positive and connected with both staffs. If the kid is giving good vibes to both sides, you can't do anything about that.

If he picks OSU, I hope all the UT podcasts and YouTube folks say that OSU "dropped a bigger bag" to get him. Set the narrative. You know that's what the OSU folks are going to be screaming if he picks UT.

Or they were just wrong

Seems like the ongoing trend at UT.... guys/coaches have been told/assured one thing, and then when it comes down to it, the kid goes elsewhere... countless times...

I've seen OSU fans say "Ohio State doesn't pay for recruits" like the whole Ewers thing didn't just happen. Ridiculous.

Mind blowing that Tennessee was trending for weeks, and then things shifted OSU’s way after their WR coach essentially called Tate out on Twitter….

 

[MemphisVol3]

Yeah I feel we led up until most recently. Hartline recruiting and development plus Ohio St. success and I'm sure they still put together a nice NIL package for him may have sealed the deal. Obviously hope we get him, but looks like he'll be a buckeye.

I’m assuming that message actually did hit him

looks like that message worked lol

Apparently. Guess negative recruiting is just too strong of a pull.

I will be disappointed because the Hartline thing looks like a set up. Good luck to him but it will be awhile for him to get in the field. He’s trolling us or them and I don’t like things handled that way.

No way in Haiti in this day of social media Tate didn’t see it. No way. GBO

The message that Ohio State has been putting in Tate articles/posts is that they've been launching WRs into the 1st round, they have great guys this year that they expect to go pro, so they'll need a great haul of WRs to make up for those losses.

They're expecting to take 4 WR, Hartline is swinging for the fences on two 5-stars. Obviously telling them both that he'll need one or both to start as early as true frosh, but definitely both starters by soph year. Will be treated like kings nonetheless, and media and scouts all over them because of the OSU pedigree.

Not that I agree or disagree with those statements, it's the consistent language that I've seen in their material about Tate and interviews with Hartline.

I dont think he trolled anybody.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Everytime a recruitment goes quiet we seem to lose them.

 

[JRVOL11]

will be splitting a lot of reps up there

It’s no big shock.
They’re always “lied to”.
It is what it is.
