Is this the first recruits rank to ever increase after being tied to the University of Tennessee?
"In fact, a source tells us the Tigers believe this is an Auburn-Florida battle -- not a Florida-Tennessee battle."
According to Niebuhr. Got this from 247sports.
Post from the Gators board Crystal ball post
THREE-STAR DEFENSIVE LINEMAN DAVONTE LAMBERT
When: Tuesday August 13th
Chances: 49% Tennessee / 49% Florida / 2% Auburn
Blake's Take: This is going to be a close one for this junior college big man. Florida is one of the teams that have been on Lambert the longest thanks in part to defensive line coach Brad Lawing. On the other hand, Lambert believes that Tennessee presents a better chance to contribute earlier. In the end I think Florida edges out and picks up this talented big man, but it will be a close one against Tennessee, much closer than it would have been six weeks ago when this seemed like a slam dunk for the Gators.
That article sounded to me like he's playing the homer as to not cause a meltdown on the boards, but he's giving himself an out when Lambert picks TN.
The thing here is that every school feels good about their chances, but the schools that aren't in contention are picking UT. That and our writers are the most conservative. Hubbs, Fort, and Callahan don't sugar coat things. Which is the exact opposite of the AU writers who think they land everyone.
We should be thankful for Hubbs, Fort, and Callahan because those 3 are some of the best (and un-homerish) in the biz.
Here's his most recent update, sounds gooooooooooooddddddd for us...
Actually made a few calls after this story ran and things are pointing more and more for Lambert to pick Tennessee on Tuesday.
Missed this thread the last few days. Other than 247's predictions, what changed that made us feel he's going to announce for the Vawls?
