VQ poster: With the first few offers going out for 2014, Do the Berry twins have one?

Paul Fortenberry: They can come to Tennessee if they want.

I would also like to know what Evan Berry ran.

And if the Berry twins were at a camp in Valdosta, Georgia today, I suppose that means they didn't visit Auburn's campus this weekend, right?

I don't know if college football will see too many more Eric Berrys for awhile. One of the best overall athlete/football player to play in the defensive backfield in the SEC.

With that being said, his brothers are very talented. They are both just sophomores in HS, but have the speed their brother did. I think a VN poster with GA HS ties has stated on here that they both have work to do with their overall football skills. But they have 2 years left.

Don't get me wrong they are excellent football players and will be highly sought after recruits, but I don't think they are Eric Berry caliber by any means. Yet anyway.

Unless they go tomorrow , it looks that way. I'm sure Bow9den will let us know exactly why. You know , something like ... "They didn't need to visit again because they already know they are going to Allbarn."

Eric is one of the best to have ever played at UT. That's expecting too much of anyone, imo.:hi:

It'd be like Colts' fans who think Andrew Luck will be as good as Peyton. Such thoughts need to be proven as history suggests that it's virtually impossible.

Keep living the dream there bud...

Auburn has got to be one of the dirtiest, if not the dirtiest, programs in the NCAA... I have a VERY special brand of dislike for their program, their scumbag boosters and especially the chest bumper..

I still remember Trooper out there running around with that scumbag Nick Fairley after he went after Aaron Murrays legs.. Only time I've EVER cheered for UGA in any way was when their whole offensive line went after that dirty POS...

I would love to see these two in orange. Still alot of time before they have to make a decision. Hopefully our product on the field this year will make them want to come be a part of it.

This was in the TK Jr. thread , but I decided to put it in the right thread.

I think that's exactly what they want us to think. This way they get to "enjoy" the process and other coaches will think they have a chance. Not saying they are coming here for sure , but this way they don't look like they are. Kiffin even talked about recruiting Eric. It was something like , "Yeah , we recruited Eric at SC and we knew he was basically a lock to Tennessee. But you take chances on players like that win or lose." Maybe they want to see some other places and get more attention than Eric did. Not saying Eric didn't want attention , but to me he looked at this as a business decision and knew what he wanted to do. Eric also wasn't in the coaches office star struck. Ask Mark Richt. Richt's "cheat notes" and not even knowing what position he played was something that didn't go without notice from Eric. The span between James and Eric was alot longer than it is with the twins. Every coach is going to know about them and they need to thank Eric for that.

I know they like Trooper and are friends with his son. I just think when it's all said and done , when they make that choice , it will have to be more than that. No way do they decide just because of Trooper Taylor. Could you imagine Eric as gifted and smart as he was/is saying he chose a school because of Taylor? That doesn't mean other players don't pick a school for a coach , but with James and Eric being blood , I think they will really look at the big picture. These kids aren't going to do something stupid and base a decision because a Chic-fil-a is on campus -lol. I know that story was overblown , but still I expect more from them. And as for what we expect ... That brings us to the shadow of their Brother and Father. This isn't the first time I've said it and it won't be the last. Going to another college will not get them out of that shadow. It will follow them no matter where they go. So don't give me that excuse. In this day we live in , everyone will know who they are. Especially in the SEC.

Bottom line ... The love for Trooper is not going to be the deciding factor. I don't know why some can't see them wanting to follow their Father and Brother and be part of this family. You know , the real one. Not some "all in family" bs being sold at the Barn. No , we don't know yet and won't for awhile. But in my opinion , it isn't looking as bad as some think. James might say he is going to let them decide , but when the time comes he will be talking up Tennessee. And don't question how much EB loves this place. Yes , I know EB had some tweets in the past about Tennessee. At least that was what we were thinking it was about. He also had some for a former Vol and one Trooper Taylor during recruiting season a year ago. So take that stuff with a grain of salt. Tennessee is still number 1. No matter what the man made weather is saying about Auburn or the people saying that Eric hates Dooley. It's Tennessee and then everybody else. I read stuff like ..."Auburn has gained ground ect. ect. ect." I never read a quote from the twins saying they lead for anything. Even if it's printed that way , I like our chances more than any other program. :peace2:

Eric said himself, his brothers are better than he was at that age. Maybe he's just being modest, but that's what he said. That gets me excited!

They're going to be good but they aren't on Eric's level yet. Now another Vol legacy is maybe better at the same age(Todd Kelly Jr.). 2014 will be good year especially if we win big this year.

This is going to be a big deal for this years recruiting class as well.

Yeah, it's not like Auburn is on the SEC's top rung of the ladder in major violations or anything. :crazy:

Many of your boosters and ex-head coaches that have been guilty before are still involved with the program. It's just a matter of time before they'll be caught again.

The Berry twins won't end up on the Plains. You can take that to the bank...oops, wrong word choice to say to a Barner. Too soon?

Per twitter--
@Andrew_Gribble: Just got our first Derek Dooley appearance at Pro Day. Walks across the field and promptly shakes hands with Eric Berry.
