You will see tonight where he picks.. and i have great reason to believe he'll pick us. Now look, if you guys are going to have a heart attack over a recruit who wont get to even see the field(if he even starts) for at least 13 months from now.. then you need help. And by the way a verbal means nothing. So if he does choose us dont go bat ****. you guys are fools. Yes, a verbal is better than nothing but nonetheless it's not done until the ink is on the paper. Following recruiting this early is a rollar coaster ride. It only matters where you end up. Not how you start or the middle its about how you finish.



Now with all that being said. He is a vol lock. rest easy VN. rest easy.

Add another name to the pot of people claiming to have insider information.

What are you going to say when DJ picks UF? Not saying he will pick UF, but a lot of signs are pointing in that direction. Hubbs and Austin Price are pretty reliable sources IMO. I know they are "guessing," but the information they receive is probably more reliable than what we are seeing through message board mods.

Listen, Infinite has no idea. I really wish yall would do this, but he will not take the bet cause he has no idea. The sooner everyone can get over that DJ is going to FL the easier it will be for all these people getting worked up. Mo has his ear. Simple as that. Like I said yesterday, as much as I would love for him to be a VOL. If I was DJ and I was looking at depth charts, wouldn't anybody else choose FL right now? DJ starts the minute he steps on campus at Florida.

I am willing to take any sort of bet offered that he is a vol.

If skeeter was telling the truth that the coaches felt like DJ was going to be a Vol, was DJ lying to the coaches?

Just because the coaches FELT like DJ would be a Vol doesn't mean DJ necessarily felt the same or gave them false hope. It means just what it says, the coaches felt good about the visit.

I don't understand why he would've cancelled FNL if he never switched.

It's been explained several times. Getting a ride was a problem, and accepting one from Mo might be considered a potential violation.

Yea, someones wrong. Doesn't really matter as the end result is the same. :cray:

Nobody has to be wrong. Skeeter might very well have accurately reported what he was told, and that is the coaches were very upbeat and positive about the visit. I haven't seen anybody actually claim he committed to the UT coaches.

If he told CHH that he was committing to the Vols and cancelling the visit to UF, I don't see how you can paint it any other way. Skeet called the cancellation to FNL before that came out. I hold no ill will to the kid but if he commits to UF, he lied to our coaches.

Essentially that's the whole point, he never committed to anybody and never told anyone he was committing then. Nobody reported that they were told that either, unless I missed something along the way.

All that's ever been said is it was a great visit and the UT coaches were very positive about a POSSIBLE commitment.

If griddie is correct, as he has been throughout this thread, it's a simple case of a great kid enjoying his visits and being impressed with the schools he saw; but is ultimately choosing his long-time favorite.

The only reason some may see it as dishonest or lying is because they took what was reported and embellished it or exaggerated. Fans do that all the time; take a report of a great visit and turn it into more than what was actually said. You've got folks in here now claiming that people reported DJ committed to the coaches; but I haven't seen anyone actually ever say that... only that the coaches were optimistic.

Sometimes a recruiting thread is like a high school cafeteria. You tell the guy next to you a story, and tell him to pass it on to the next guy at the table. By the time that story gets to the other end of the lunch room, the story bears little resemblance to the original story.

We don't know who he'll pick at this point; but no matter who it is, nobody has been lied to... fans have just made more of the reports than was actually reported.
