What time tomorrow/today?

 

[VolFromNashville]

Looks like there are going to be some really excited/really down fans tomorrow. I just hope UT is the former.

Lassiter is the worst HS coach ever. it was inevitable that we choked in the playoffs. Hey at least he did something other than run the ball all day lol. oh well. Go Green Wave! and GBO

Hate the school. But great rivalries in Sumner County. Feels like the SEC of Tennessee HS football.

But anyway. This kid will be a Vol tomorrow.

I'm a current UCF student... and I know a few people who follow UCF recruiting really close and they are REALLY confident that Pig is a Knight... I hope they're wrong... Go Vols!

Hinshaw thinks hes a vol for whatever reason, hope he is right. howard only lives like 15 minutes from ucf campus i believe so i could see him getting alot of pressure to stay home.

Wilson Central here...You know, the school that broke Portland's 2 year long losing streak.

Reminds me a lot of Josh Huff. Solid player

 

[buffaloblue]

afraid it will be ucf

 

[HvilleCommando]

afraid it will be ucf

He has family here too. I dont think the family thing is an issue, and he has said multiple times that he feels comfortable here with and the passion our fanbase has.

Huff is a player I think would be better in another system. They don't get him the ball enough to me.

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

Well, we did what we could. Time to lay the cards on the table and see what happens.

I wanna see Pig in orange! Excited to here his commitment. Its just hard to think a kid of his caliber can turn down everything UT has to offer compared to what UCF offers. Plus UCF is cleaning house right now, couple of coaches have already left or fired, including the one recruiting Pig, and didn't they commit some NCAA violations they haven't yet been punished for? Just don't see how he puts on the South Florida hat tomorrow.

GO VOLS!

 

[TlM]

Just don't see how he puts on the South Florida hat tomorrow.

I'd say that's a safe bet.

I hope Coach Hinshaw is right. I don’t really follow UCF recruiting much, but I know they’re struggling so far this year in recruiting (only 8 commits). Howard is definitely being built up as their bluechip superstar recruit. UCF’s WR corps is terrible and Howard would be an instant starter. From what I hear, people are telling Howard that he’ll be hidden on our depth chart. I’m sure he has some pressure to stay close to home but who knows what’ll happen… Hopefully this kid will pick the Vols tomorrow!

I agree he was great last year. They just have too many playmakers DeAnthony Thomas kinda came in and took away alot of his touches. Huff was originally a runningback but played the Harvin position last year and is just a receiver now in a system that doesn't throw alot. Tunei and Paulson get most of the passes now.

No disrespect to UCF, but can they blame him for taking the opportunity to play at an SEC school?
