'11 KY LB Lamar Dawson (USC)

Having Joker Phillips and Charlie Strong both in-state just made recruiting KY much more difficult. I know they typically don't have a deep talent pull, but occassionally you get a Fugate or Dawson that is actually a player and I think getting those kids is going to be tough going forward.

Talent Tug*
 
Had a dream last night Dawson committed to Tennessee. Of course, this doesn't mean anything, but hey, you never know.

I had one last week in which Cameron Clear signed with Duke. That would be an epic failure.

I have some friends from the town that played Boyle County (Dawson's team), so I went to the game to watch him. He did not win MVP of the game, however he was all over the field. He played TE as well as LB. He did what you would expect, i.e. caused fumble while sacking QB, scored a TD out of back field, exc. All and all he was impressive and i'm sure would help the Big Orange. I believe he is coming to Knoxville tomorrow so hopefully it will go good.

Good to hear. Thanks for the info.
 
If it does leak we are probably going to have another Byron Moore situation. He's going here, no here, no here.
 
That can only increase the likelihood that Dawson is a Vol. He who must not be named and Kelly are scrambling to change things. Not gonna happen boys. All Vol.
 
When are they trying to get the in-home? He's going to be in Knoxville Fri-Sun on his OV and isn't Mon-Wed a quiet period?
 
If you can find the post from a little earlier in the thread there is an article about dawson. I think it mentions in there about coaches from UT, UK, Oregon, and USC visiting him this week. Good chance they already had in homes this week and he gets to UT this weekend.
 
At first I thought this was a mistake. Turns out Kentucky has a Chuck Smith also.


"If Dawson picks Kentucky, his position coach as a linebacker would be Chuck Smith. The same Chuck Smith who is a Boyle County football legend after coaching the Rebels to five state championships from 1999-2003.

Says French: "We think of Chuck as one of us."

"He's also got people telling him if he signs with Tennessee he will be the most hated person in this state."-Dawsons HS coach...Man that is pathetic if they are serious. I will hate it if AR signs with somebody else and I will be hoping for his abject failure if he signs with someone else...But most hated in the state? That's rough.

Yeah, that's so much worse.

They should have an aterisk there....the most hated person in the state behind: Bobby Knight, Rick Pitino, Bruce Pearl, Dale Brown, and Christian Laettner. I'm sure there are others on the list, but you get the point. I'd guess that 90% of UK football fans don't even know who Dawson is.
