Staff is on kid early in high school. He commits. Months pass. More offers roll in. Kid flips to OSU for 3 weeks. Surges up player rankings.

Early Signing Day. Kid is dressed in full OSU gear. OSU signs all over his table. Pics with friends and teachers. MORNING OF, (one of) his position coach leaves for USF job. Doesn't sign with OSU as expected. Reporter confusion for both teams. AFTERNOON, flips back to Vols. Vagueness from reporters and fans. Rumor was he wanted OSU, family wanted UT. Apparently signs with UT. Day ends.

TODAY, weird post on his twitter + instagram. Says he's being kept from posting for not following family wishes. Claims not to have signed anywhere yet. Posts weird AI art of him with OSU coaches in OSU uniform. Deletes both posts quickly. Deletes all UT pictures from profiles. Fans confused. Reporters start spinning.

And now we're here.

Care to show where he was dressed in OSU gear at the signing?

Also, not all pictures of UT are deleted from his twitter. Just looked. Still there. And literally everything is from OSU fans.

The tweet and timeline to me sounds like he did what he wanted and the family didn’t like it. That could be bad for us but not from a legend standpoint.

You add the only bad things. Not that Price and Hubbs said we were trending in the past few weeks and to look for a flip. It has been talked about for a while he may flip. And then his position coach left. Could go both ways.

I’m asking about that specific tweet and how it’s bad based on what it said and the time he posted it.

Yeah just let the kid go. Messy situation and if his heart is elsewhere he will practice and play like it. Just have good dialogue with him and put that money into the portal for areas of more immediate need. GBO.

I would call him up if I was Hype and tell him to go elsewhere since I have no clue what’s going on behind the scenes.

So is it just OSU fans making up stuff then? That is really… really weird to put a high school kid through that if that is the case.

Also, how do you know if it is someone’s handle or not? Is it blue checked like on X? Volnation is the closest thing I have to social media lol

After Nico and Boo I just really don’t want anything like this near the team. I think the Boo stuff this year hurt us way more than we realize.

I will have to go back and look at the mom that walked off from the bama signing that wanted UT and see how that went. It happens and have to fight through it. I guess it depends on what Hype thinks.

On the flip side, even if Bey wants to be here and his family doesn’t, it could still be bad like you say. So I do understand both sides. I would just like clarification before I jump to conclusions. This could be butthurt OSU fans for all we know. Bey and family needs to come out or a vol insider to clean it up quickly. We can all agree on that.

Well ****, if that's him. Why bother waiting? Cut him now, don't give him/his family a single cent.

I wouldn't take anything that guy says as true. It's obvious that's a OSU propaganda site. The way the new rules are, the SA can't "legally" receive NIL $ related to the school until he's enrolled in the school, which is January. It wouldn't surprise me that the kid was promised the old under the table $$$ like the old days. Or he may have been as @MZTERRY used to say "he got white girled". Who knows but if he doesn't want to be here, he needs to git.

If this is anything more than OSU ruse, we’ll know soon. One has to figure Pope and Huepel are trying to be in communication with the kid/family and if there’s a problem they’ll share it quickly.

Hopefully coaches do their due diligence and figure out what the kid actually wants since no one else seems to have a damn clue. If he doesn't want to be here, let him go. If he does want to be here, let's get to work. Hopefully they figure out which it is quickly.

That's him yesterday morning. He had a knit hat in some other shots too, but it was certainly all OSU up until noon.

I'm sure Price & Hubbs are confident in their sources, but this family (as the primary point of contact) seem to be talking out of both sides of their mouths right now. We'll see but it's definitely odd days.

He can leave. Let him play where he wants instead pouting about it for a year. Bad look on him and his family though. Earned themselves a permanent asterisk by their name. I can see where a parent may want treat this as teaching moment to be a man of your word and honoring commitments made but all the same there is far too much grandstanding by parents on signing day

If the rumors are true I don't think its a bad look on him at all. Kid is being completely controlled by 2 family members and is calling for help. They control his social media accounts and allegedly sent his signing to UT without his consent. That's literally a criminal offense of impersonating someone. I feel awful for the kid.

Objectively, there's not a wrong choice between OSU and UT for him. But it should be his decision. Seems like there's more in it for his handlers and that's why they're doing extreme things to force him to Knoxville.
