The silence coming out of the visit last night is extremely worrisome. VQ clearly didn't speak with him after the visit and I have a hard time believing they didn't try to reach him.

Unless we here from vq and he has reiterated his commitment to them I am considering this one a likely loss on Wednesday.

Just because you want them to call him late at night doesn't mean they will. It also Sunday morning. Most people out of respect wait. Either way lets not be bipolar every hour

When you have paying customers that want info on recruiting you will call at hours of the night. Especially in a situation like this.

We will find out Wednesday for sure, but I'm with Bruin here. Lots to be worried about. You don't allow coaches from another team into your home just days before signing with the team your committed to if you are not considering that school.

Missing on Reed really hurt. Now if Lambert flips it will suck.

I'll be glad when Lambert finally signs with the Vols. Will be nice to have this one behind us, and he's going to be a great player for us.

Paying customers mean you have an obligation to call a 19 year old kid late on a Saturday night? Interesting.

If you were paying a monthly subscription to get recruiting info wouldn't you want more information on recruits? You can't get that info if BH, PF, etc aren't calling and interviewing recruits.

I would make a large bet they are trying to get a quote from him. Last nights post from them imo suggested they had tried to reach him without succes.

Definitely some FF guys getting on here now. I think he will be a VOL. We need him but if we don't get him or get him, we will not be a top ten team next year regardless. Staff will just have to keep building. You want info to be cut off from VQ then have them calling recruits at 2 am just for you.

They're not calling them for me. I just come in here and get the info from the copy and paste kings. But to assume that PF and BH aren't on it in contacting recruits your crazy. They would not have a business if they weren't persistent in contacting kids all hours of the day. They would have no info to give.

And I am not suggesting they call kids at 2 in the morning. The comment was made about contacting a kid late on Saturday night. You've got to expect he knew VQ would call him after an in home visit from Jones.

Remember, the actual player is not the only source of info. You would think the coaches would have let Brent and/or Paul know something. I am definitely worried here.

Given our recent luck in head-to-head recruitments against Auburn, 55-23, and 5-7 vs 12-1, I think there's a good chance they've flipped him.

Jones cannot afford to lose D-line commits right now.

Neither of these things will have a big reflection on his decision. We have a much better situation for a JUCO player

I don't get this thinking at all. It's very hard to think the kid will only look at the depth chart and not a chance to play for a national title. Besides auburn loses 2 and maybe 3 of their starting DL. It wouldn't be hard to convince a highly rated juco kid he could play immediately with those departures on the DL and win at a higher level than us

That thinking is obvious for a two or maybe even one year player. It also helps that we have a defensive line coach who has put guys into the NFL. Obviously, guys don't make a decision based on any one thing, but that is a big one for JUCO players.

I agree that juco players must selfishly find a place where they know they will have a great chance to start.

I just think auburn has a great chance at selling that opportunity as well.

At least they can give that perception. Perception is more important than reality in recruiting many times
