ask andre smith

I edited that in before I saw your post. Great minds think alike.

:ermm: You would hope if a guy was considering UT, he would not try to push a RB we need to Vandy.

I'm thinking there was a falling out.

The top part is the tweet. And the bottom is my loose translation.

Former staff was recruiting him. I think he's about to blow up.

The team that he is playing against in the pic is only 3 miles from my house; they are terrible every yr. He also played against my hair cutter's grandson, and their team aint that good either. What I'm trying to say is; small school going up against mediocre competition.

Ok

Still a take all day.

Hey utc. Can you repost the ga rivals qoute in the bellamy thread. Idiots over there havent read it and are tweeting sh*t to him because of the other article out there

And he's dominating the competition. All you can ask.

It's been mentioned to me that the staff cooled on Morris. They prefer Kondolo and are looking at the kid from Josh Dobb's school too, George Adeosun.

I've always thought there was something off with Morris. Kids from Memphis just don't end up in California.

“@rudythebeast5: @CoachGusMalzahn follow back”

I would say him asking CGM to follow him on twitter would be a sign of bad things...not trying to be negative, but I am pretty sure this is going to be another Santos where he gets offered by his dream school late in the game and the other schools have no chance.

That would explain him going silent in the middle of his visit

Probably so they can DM.

pro tip: stop trying to read the tarot cards of twitter and just chill til NSD.

Not trying to read them, just an observation; he hasn't retweeted one thing from a Vol fan except when a UTFOOTBALL handle tweeted that he was on campus...He has been tweeting up a storm about Vandy and AU....

Following recruiting used to be fun but now it's just beyond ridiculous. I'm beginning to wonder if any of these coaches have a clue. Ford came to our Jr. day last year and showed out but left without an offer. Franklin offers a month later and Ford commits. All is quite until CBJ offers and now seemingly every school in the country wants him.

UGA offered likely because Kamara is going to Bama. He is a hot commodity right how as he is a solid RB that is still looking for a school.

Idk why Fooley didn't offer him though...

He wasn't looking for a school a month ago. He was as solid to Vanderbilt as a recruit could be until CBJ offered, then Auburn, then FSU, then Georgia. My point is the kid isn't better now then he was back in Nov of last year. I understand how recruiting works and that's why I say it's beyond ridiculous. I think we need an early signing period. These kids get pulled a million different directions and schools waste millions and millions of dollars.

 

[BigALWiLson]

I would be all for early signing. I think it takes some stress off recruits who want to commit early and focus on school. I think it changes recruiting, to make these kids really think about their future earlier. There are a lot of positives but there are also negatives.

He was bumped up to a consensus four star player after the season, when the scouts saw him practicing for a week for an all star game with other players of his level.

But you want everyone to take your word for it that he is overrated because he played against your hair stylists grandkid?

Interesting considering Ford has offers from some of the top schools in the country. I guess these staff's should have checked with your hair stylist before offering.

I haven't seen anything but his highlight film and can tell what you are saying is true. That by no means says he is not good, could end up a superstar. Only time will tell.

So Morris is bitter towards Tennessee now? If so, he needs to worry about his own recruitment and let Ford make his own choices.

lol... If he were recruiting for the Vols, we would be cheering him on and talking up what a stand up, character guy he is.

This is how recruiting rolls.
