Anyone see the piece today on ESPN about "who" and "what" influences a recruits (signing) decision?
Summary:
Overall;
68.4% Family
further breakdown;
52.1% Dad
38.2% Mom
10.1% HS Coach
*No indicator reporter for grandma-ma, guess we'll just have to improvise using the 68.4% family data.
Applying the above ESPN analysis towards recruits Dawson, Moore, & Wright;
-68.4% Family/Grandma-ma, CDD's in-home went very well---1/2 the battle won---now we wait to see how the family will react to their K-Town/Campus visit. Preliminary guesstimate has, Dawson = VOL
-52% Dad, this does not bode well in signing B Moore, yes, his father called CJW after U commitment "slip-up", however, let's not forget the father having ties to the U.
-68.4 Family & 38% Mom, should definitely favor Tennessee in signing G Wright.
Accordingly,
Dawson = VOL
Moore = U
Wright = VOL
Regardless, all indicators point to Tennessee having a solid 2011 class---potentially TOP 10 BUT more likely to finish somewhere between 11-15. All things considered that is an outstanding feat. Thank you for a tremendous recruiting effort CDD & Staff! Proud to be a TENNESSEE VOLUNTEER!!!
