Said he needs to go back home & just talk it over w/ his mom, he wants to be a Vol & wants to get the program going back in the right direction. He cant make Sentimore be a Vol but he is going to really be in his ear about joining him.

Hopefully mom gives her approval pretty quick, that comment on Sentimore makes me a little nervous. I thought we had him pretty much locked up.

Wasn't it Sentimore in his ear that got him to visit Tennessee? Someone get these guys to just listen to each other and call themselves VOL Teammates. If it happens, 2 spots left, who is it gonna be?

This is the only thing that confuses me because I thought it was basically the other way around? Meaning Sentimore has been recruiting Otis to Tennessee.

I am worried about Sentimore because he hasn't committed but I think we are reading too much into this comment. That statement could just be Jacobs saying he doesn't want to speak for Sentimore nothing more.

Perhaps Sentimore wants to go to Miami this weekend before he commits because Miami is nice this time of year compared to just about everywhere else.

Im thinking McCullers will be a Vol within the next week or two. As for the next spot, we still need another back, whether it be Damien Williams or Mike Davis. Both are takes. We could still use another DE after missing out on Autry and it looks like Lawrence could be a replacement. Dont forget we're still in it for Patterson and we're still recruiting Quinshad Davis pretty hard so its possible we take another WR. We're just in on so much elite talent with so little room left. However, remember that Bullock will not be playing on scholarship here, at least not this year. So in reality, we'll have 3 spots left if Sentimore and Otis Jacobs both commit to Tennessee.

He is boarding his flight now. He has NOT committed to Tennessee. Jacobs said he visit went great. He wants to talk things over with his mom before signing next week. It's either going to be Tennessee or Texas a&m.

I did not count Bullock, but you do have to count Tino. He makes 21, Sentimore and Jacobs makes 23. I think McCullers and take the 1st one to commit between Williams and Lawrance. Tell them 1st one to make the call gets the spot.

We could still lose Lewis or McNeil, so there are a couple question marks still to play out.

Committing wouldn't stop that from happening.

True, I almost forgot about Tino. I think Lewis could be told to look elsewhere if we do land Sentimore and Lawrence. I feel more confident about keeping Mcneil after his own was said to have very well, and if there are any doubts surrounding his commitment then we need to make sure he is locked up. Mcneil is a top priority for this class.

Maybe our coaches don't understand what a player committing to them is?

Hubbs and any other local media gets very little info from the coaches concerning recruits nowadays. They have to count on the recruits or other sources. Me, only sources i have are the coaches. I very rarely talk to recruits. I think Otis and Sentimore want to go public around the same time, atleast thats the feeling i get.

I've been telling folks that for a year now.

Hubbs & Co are not plugged in like before.

They still have access to the building but they are not fed info

Skeet...does this explain why the local media seems to have it out for Dooley?

It's become much more evident this year too.

I remember reading the War Room the night before Santos announced and they made it sound like we didn't have a shot.

Mcneil is another example. Brent was saying that distance would probably be too much to overcome and yet it wasn't.

Bottom line is that they are not getting as much info as they used to, which is why they have missed on several predictions this year.

Probably the other way around. They got alot more info from the coaches last year. Not saying Hubbs falls into the category but some of those guys will learn when to shut it at some point.

To be fair concerning Santos. Noone knew about his choice, he called Coach Sirmon a few minutes before his announcement to let him know. Sirmon was actually on the practice field when he got the call.

Yeah that's true. I remember hearing that too.

There have been several examples of where you could tell that the VQ guys had no clue on a few prospects though. Like you and Jay said, they just don't get the same info like they once did.
