Yes

We will find out in the morning. If he can get admission, he will be a Vol.

reason for optimism mini boom

 

[OCIVol]

Remember where our AD came from...

 

[OrangeFlame]

Would this put us in the top 15 for 2012?

Then Utvol02 (RS? ) could come back and the gator troll could go packing.

We were only 53 points outta 15th, so yeah we would pass Texas A&M for 15th. Possibly Clemson for 14th

Looking like a big week for possible commitments! GBO VFL

you sure about that? He's visiting bama this week also.

Tomorrow could be a great day with Jalen and Dante, but let's just hope the Vols don't go 0/2

 

[VOLtownUSA]

The NCAA cleared him right? But Florida didn't. With that in mind, plus the fact we have lower requirements than Florida does, I don't think it's much of stretch that we could get him in.

Ut isn't getting Jalen

Seems like he's trying to figure out who may be able to bend things for him to get into school, but either which way seems like he would be a possible academic risk in general.

UF fan on the main board said he took an online class at a well known diploma mill and the admissions office caught it and decided not to let him in.

If that's the case, then I doubt any SEC team would take that chance.

 

[StlCardinals2618]

I think he is an official visitor though. I don't think UT would do that if they weren't willing to take a chance.

You are a bit behind I see

Thats what I'm thinking

Nevermind, misread a post.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I think they'd take the chance. The NCAA already cleared him.

 

[StlCardinals2618]

No, you can't take an official right now, regardless of him being 2012. He's here on his own dime.

I dont know why Fortenberry would write official visitor for 2012 then. How confident are you on that?

Like I posted, I misread the post, and thread title to be exact. :good!:

No problem, Thundervol said if we land Phillips we would be moved to 14th in recruiting which would be ahead of UGA with their recent players who didn't make it in not counting towards the point total. Lets hope for good news.

 

[VOLinDixie]

I wonder what Skeeter is hearin about Phillips

 

[StlCardinals2618]

From what I know, they would still have to get him in school, which isn't a given. But, if you don't think he'll get in school why bring him on an official right now?
Also, Miami would have to be considered the frontrunner because of his comments he's made in the past. It will be interesting to see what can come out of this visit.

Fortenberry

 

[Burhead]

I thought Miami told him no?
