Watched Jesse's video and his interview. First time I have heard Jesse speak. Dion Bailey will be a major influence on this kids decision. Obviously his family will be a major role too. Seems like a nice kid, not the most articulate (but who cares).
His vids of the scrimmage in the inter view vid were awesome. This kid is smooth as silk. He will be an awesome player
According to multiple people I talked to during that episode, he was coming here up until the last week.
I know parents of former players that played at Tennessee. I know those parents that could not afford to come to the games and I know parents who could afford to come to the games.
I can say in both cases it was an EXTREME hardship on the families. I saw the suffering of those that could not afford to come. I saw those that had to spend all night Friday travling to arrive at 10:00 AM on game day to see their son play.
It is a very tough thing on the families. Either way so I can totally understand families wanting their sons to play close to home.
A "chance" to make NFL can't even make the top list for over 90% of the kids recruited as a reason to go 2000 miles to play. Less than 10% of the D-1 signees each year will get drafted.
