Lawson's dad said on rivals Carl never intended to go anywhere except Auburn, Think he played us for the attention imo we wasted alot of time on him we could have used elsewhere. If he is such a class act why did he lead us on. I sure wish him no luck at all.

I suppose each fan base needs a few of these...

"Lots of rumours so I thought I share some things...

I just got off the phone with him, he LOVED UT fans...he said by far the best support he has seen. He also thinks Stribling is the best DL coach he met.

Why he went with AU..came down to the heart. He even said logically UT was a great choice but he felt home at AU ever since he first set foot on campus. It goes beyond a coach or winning. He is that kind of kid.

He was very torn after his UT visit, and UT did an amazing job recruiting him. Credit Jones, Thig and Graham for doing everything possible. They will get some of the best players trust me, i met all of them several times, recruiting is on the right track.

Recruiting is a dirty business and it always will be, lots of miss information lots of dealings by third and forth parties, after talking to him I really do not think anything fishy went on. Some of you will think that no matter what I say..but Carl and his family are good people who don't want hand outs.

While it hurts losing a talent like Carl, I know that UT will be fine over the next few years..UT should have never been even in play..but we were very much in it."

I don't understand the well wishes. If he isn't a Vol, I don't care if he ever wins another game.

Right there with ya BPV. I don't wish bad luck on the kid. He is irrelevant to me. When we play him, I hope we beat Auburn so bad he regrets his decision. TIFWIW JMO.

Exactly. I want Vols to win. I don't give a crap about the rest. I'm happier when the Auburns of the world lose. Lawson going to that craphole isn't going to change that.

I respect this kid. He made a commitment, explored his options when the coaching change happened at AU, but realized that was home for him. I would have LOVED to had this kid on The Hill, but I can't blame him for his decision. Good luck to this one. He seems like a good kid.

Whatever...I respect the kid so much more for how he handled his recruitment than most of these kids.

That said...I will still boo him this fall when Auburn comes to town.

I'm just saying I don't understand. I want our opponents to lose - and often.

How often have we played Auburn since Arky and So. Car were added? Auburn isn't a rival anymore. They used to be but the Bama game was older and had more tradition so we kept that one and lost our Auburn rivalry.

No one here is going to cheer for Aubie when we do play them so I don't see the point of wishing the kid anything but well.

The kid essentially said Auburn is better than UT. Eff that.

Then knock yourself out. I still don't understand it. I don't care if every team in the SEC loses every week and sees recruiting fall through the floor. I'm for UT winning.

Nothing wrong in wishing the kid well...just not when he plays UT. I hope we put his tail on the ground every play next year.
