'11 TE Eric MacLain

It's a quiet period people. That's why the coaches haven't called, because they can't. You're freaking out over nothing.

one call per player. there are also other methods of contact.

For instance, you can tell the Hostesses to take a multi-colored, ambiguous sign to his house telling him where their hearts are.

Hate for this to be my first post, but he just decommited.

Due to not hearing from our coaches apparently.

Calling during the dead period is surely a secondary violation. Why worry?

If I've learned anything, its that secondary violations are flattering, and they create a buzz, getting more recruits.

They are a win-win.

Sorry man, deliberately committing violations with no affinity for the rules, is what got us in trouble with this years recruits and some of last years. Most of the quotes I have read from the 2011 class is that they prefer this HC to the last one.

But you told us it was all a part of the "plan," Eric.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

I would have to assume that since it is the dead period he hasn't talked to anyone but, you have to wonder if this kid is up near the top of the coaches list. If he was he would not have decommitted. There are plenty of other ways to make sure he knows he is welcome. Also there are other players that had already been in contact with the coaches. I am not discounting this staff but they are keeping everything quiet. There was a lot more info on the boards last year this time.

Yeah, and I told you that I bought in to the whole thing, and come to find out he had no plan. At least give me a "I told you so", instead of what you just said. :good!:

I figured the word "flattering" would tip people off at the sarcasm.

I was too tired last night for sarcasm. Sorry I didn't read into it.

That changed Feb. 17 however when MacLain backed out partly because of a lack of communication with the new coaching staff in Knoxville.

"Since I decommitted we had about 10 scholarships come in," MacLain said. "It's been going all over the place."

"I think Virginia Tech and Ohio State are coming in, and I've been talking to Penn State and hopefully they are coming in pretty soon," MacLain said. He has also not ruled out Tennessee.

"I emailed the coach," MacLain explained. "We are going to junior day this weekend, just want to talk to him and hopefully clear some stuff up. We'll see how that goes."

"Clemson stands out just because Coach [Dan] Brooks was at Tennessee, and Coach [David] Cutcliffe was at Tennessee and I really liked him at Duke, and just the academics are both of those schools are nice," MacLain said. "We are definitely going to take our time, probably won't recommit anywhere until signing day. We're going to take it slow."

"Awesome," MaClain firmly stated when he described his trip. "It's safe to say they are back. It was good going in talking to coach Dooley. A lot of questions were answered. They are the team to beat, but I'm not going to commit anytime soon."

The MacLain family was really impressed by the meeting with Dooley and the relief to have it behind them allowed for a rather fun experience.

"I got a great feel for the coaching staff," MacLain said. "It really felt like a family. Like the Fulmer staff. It was just a great experience and I got talk to my position coach."

:salute:

That's good to hear! I think he will be a VOL but I didn't think he would re-commit this weekend.

 

[vol66]

Good news...GBO!

 

[FalcoVol]

He got to talk to his position coach...which position will he play? Is he OL all the way? BTW, thanks JayGunna for the great news!
