Hmmm...well let's just hope he makes them sit down, Kiffin cry and whine a little bit, then he starts singing Rocky Top.

Did I mention I want Arnett?

While Virginia spent most of the time navigating the campus in Knoxville, her son was meeting in-depth with the offensive coordinator Jim Chaney and more members of the staff in the Neyland-Thompson Sports Complex.

The two took the time to watch film and talk about how DeAnthony would be a pivotal part of the Vols recruiting efforts.

"We just talked about the offense, how he would get me the ball. He flat out told me, I'm the best receiver in my class. He said he hasn't seen anybody in my class that can fit their offense better. That really shocked me right there," the 6-foot, 170 pound wideout said.

The time spent with Chaney, along with receivers coach Charlie Baggett and head coach Derek Dooley led to Arnett feeling a certain level of Southern comfort as he left Knoxville.


"I could definitely say I am comfortable being down there after being down there a second time with the new staff," DeAnthony said. "I could definitely say I'm comfortable with being down there with the people, the environment, everything. I can definitely see myself playing there."

It's 'SC' at the moment, that's just how I'm feeling. It's still that, but don't get me wrong, Tennessee is right there. If there was another school with them it would be Tennessee," DeAnthony said. "But, I'm still undecided at the moment, but it's definitely a comfortable place to be at. I loved the whole trip, I liked everything about it. They're definitely high on my list, near the top."

VQ Article.

Dang! If we can continue that relationship to where he feels that comfortable and we feed the USC sanctions, we could have a good shot.

I just now read the article. Havent been on VQ all night. Really liked UT visit. His mom loved the visit and couldn't stress how comfortable they were enough. We could be a player fellas.

Haha, no doubt. I think the sanctions turn him off in the end. That combined with USC already has two WR's ( I think) signed or lead and they are higher ranked than Arnett.

I would like to know what he sees in SC. "It's SC at the moment, that's just how I'm feeling." That doesn't say a whole lot. Honestly, it would be interesting to hear what he likes about them so much. At any rate, I love the position we are in with him.

It pains me to say it but i think its SC in the end, i mean he still has to visit there and I can't think of one recruit that doesn't like a visit

If I am a kid who didn't grow up rooting for either team, I can't fault any kid for choosing USC. It's west coast, it's Hollywood (These kids have egos), and as much as I like the coeds at Tenn, I will think AZ State and USC have the hottest I have ever seen, after being on both campuses. Plus, as much as I hate to say it, Lane is a great football coach, IMO. You could see great strides in our team last year when the former staff was in place, and what he did with Crompton from the 2nd half of the Auburn game, on, was nothing short of amazing considering what he was before.

Scout.com: Arnett Has Some "Official" Plans

It feels like a home away from home every time I go to Tennessee.

So what did Mom think? Oh she loved it. She was smiling ear to ear the minute we got in the car.

Will officially visit for the Bama game.

Can't get much better news than this regarding Arnett. I'm not going to read into his comments too much, but this fits the criteria Jhop mentioned a couple days ago about recruiting. He brought his family (mom) to UT, and he planning to come back for another visit. It may not be on his own dime, but he obviously wants to see more. What better game than host Bama at home?

Great news.

Just make sure he leaves with about 3 minutes left in the game. I don't want him to be subjected to Rammer Jammer from 30,000 Tide fans.

1) stated that wearing jersey #1 is a "requirement" for whatever school he chooses

2) was at justice hayes ND commitment today

3) i think in the end it is going to be a battle between UT and MSU
