"Over? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!?!?!?!" In all seriousness .... It will just enter a different phase, depending on his choice. VN threads like this have a long and active after-life.

I do wish they would elaborate on what these "tea leaves" are .... or just come out and say, "I don't know or have any new information to report, but if I had to guess ... I think Hiter will announce his commitment to Michigan."

I have followed this recruitment closely, and I don't believe that Savion Hiter and his family members are reading posts on this thread.

As if Savion Hiter and/or his family members follow University of Tennessee football fan internet message board forums, and therefore he began following Tennessee players on Instagram in order to give Vol fans more hope that he will pick Tennessee, just because they want us to watch the live...

I wanna believe! I really do. We just don't have much to go on. Trying to be objective as possible, I think Hiter to Tennessee makes a lot of sense for him, but I understand how little that means in recruiting.

Where do you see that?

I hope I don't sound judgmental or anything like that, and it is nobody's business .... but it may be a case of the young man having anxiety issues with public speaking and/or giving interviews? Again, there is nothing wrong with that.

It seems like everyone (negas and sunshiners) has something to cling to here. If you want to believe it's Tennessee, his visits would support that. If you want to believe it's Michigan, his social media activity supports that. If you want to believe he pulls a Jordan Seaton-style fake out...

I agree but I also have to wonder what an elite athlete could do at RB in this offense. I can understand why elite WR's might think twice about Tennessee .... but RB's should be tripping over themselves to play here. It would be discouraging to miss this target. I think it's a big deal.

For me, pre-internet recruiting info meant Sports Talk with Mike Keith. I remember the highs (January of 1994 when Peyton Manning chose Tennessee) and the lows (Tim Couch in December of 1995). In basketball, would have to add Ron Mercer as a low (ouch!). I understand what you're saying...

Wiltfong said, "I'd lean Michigan going into the announcement. At the Under Armour All-American Game in Orlando, Hiter said Michigan was setting the pace. I'm not sure they've ever left the top of the list." The Under Armour All-America Game was played on January 2nd, so he isn't forming his...

I still feel like Tennessee makes the most sense for Hiter. We run the ball a lot and should have a strong line for him to run behind .... To be the feature back for an SEC team that runs as much as we do, with Sanders on the line? Trying to be as objective about this as I can be, Tennessee...

.... as long as he takes his loony mama with him.

Are fat English Lit professors a problem at our service academies now? It's micro-managing to an extreme.

You go overboard with the drama. I don't think this has ever been an important issue with football players. With basketball players it has been, but that can be mitigated and to think of it as a "tax" is ridiculous. Strictly from a fan's perspective, I really like the Nike Polo's, but it's...
