It should, but someone close to the situation explained to me that the reason he was leaning away from Alabama is that he doesn't want to compete with his brother for the same position at Alabama. DJ Fluker will be starting at LT and Arie and Cyrus would be going head to head for RT. He expressed this to the coaches and they told him they would move Arie inside. When Arie heard about this, he wasn't happy.

Personally, I thought Cyrus would end up at Iowa after I heard that but he is liking what he is seeing this weekend.

Fluker will be gone soon enough for the NFL. Competing against his brother for 1 or 2 years isn't going to keep him from playing with his brother.

You could also put yourself in his position in the picture and the AU hat goes first, then UT, then Bama. Idk. I'm hoping because the UT hat is in the middle it's us.

Alright, whatever. This is the GW thread anyway and Cyrus isn't coming to UT so it doesn't really matter.

But I WANT my e-cred when I'm right about this in a few days so y'all remember where you heard it first: VOTP, son :)

And you bagged on me for saying AR didn't want drew and Pagan at UT. I think DD has limited his recruiting to a VERY select few group of prospects for whatever reasons (I'm not claiming anything to do with tham not being less talented). He seems unwilling to waste resources on reaches or talented players that don't "fit" what he is trying to build. DD has a plan and does not seem willing to deviate from it. I'm just interested to see how that plan looks in 3 years.

this year he cant take as many risks. With our roster, we MUST have a full class. We need talent, but we need bodies. Id say that means this year we went after a couple more three star guys over taking a bit more risk over a couple higher rated guys. Plus, this staff just doesnt have the long term relationship with many of the top guys that other coaches do. Id bet they will be even more aggressive next year with fewer desperate needs and longer relationships with the top guys

Listen here's what is going to happen with GW:

He will say that he loved his visit to Auburn. He will say that he's been there a bunch of times and loves it in Auburn. He will say he feels very comfortable there and that the coaches and players feel like family.

Then he will say that Auburn and UT, or more likely Auburn, UT, and Bama are all pretty much even and it's going to be a hard choice.

Then he will stop talking to reporters until NSD, but continue to post stuff on Facebook and Twitter that will drive us all crazy. Rumors will abound, haters will hate.

Then he will sign with UT on Wednesday.

BOOK IT.

I'm curious as well. You've been calling GW to Vols for a long time. What's the skinny?

Reading Volfan76 comments my thoughts were, "dude I hope you know something the rest of us don't." So I agree with you completely.

It's all pure speculation. Nobody other than GW and his closest friends and family know what he will do.

How hard is it to just say "Vol" over and over again? I'm sure he doesn't have a clue...just posting that so if we do get him he can pat himself on the pack.

LOL! Hope you're right.

But... wearing all that Auburn gear at their NC celebration, saying "War Eagle!" to Auburn fans at the mall, then barning his last weekend sure means he's playing Auburn big-time if he's a Vol. Guy's a gameplayer, but that's pouring it on thick.

Would you expect to show up in UT gear at the AU celebration?
