Not worried at all. CSS is visiting him tomorrow and that will likely be the end of Santos thinking of other schools.

Are you expecting him to cancel his visits?

I think he needs to step foot back onto campus or this won't end well.

It's possible he'll cancel his visits. But as long as CSS's visit goes well I think he's a Vol, even if he does take a visit or two.

I can't wait to hear how the in-home goes tomorrow :popcorn:

I never said either was better than AJ or Maggit. I think Santos is physically ready and could potentinally be one the starting ILBs in the 3-4.

He will also compete for the mike spot, which would allow AJ to play sam position and Maggit to play the will (albeit not the best pass covering group). Or AJ could play mike, and Maggit and another would play outside.

I don't believe Peters is ready to start yet, but he has more potential than nearly anyone in this class IMO. We are really building nice depth at LB. Just hoping we can hold on to everyone.

Peters rated in front of Santos and Brown is rated in front of both? Why is Peters not ready?

The only thing I want to hear him say is that he is going to come back to knoxville for another look. Anything else I wont take very seriously unless he says no more visits at all. He has been very hard to read lately and I don't think tomorrow will be any different.

I agree. Based on what AJ & Maggitt showed in 2011, a freshman can start at LB in the SEC.

Ideally Peters will backup Lathers though instead of starting

Realy like our depth at LB in 2012

I'm just not that worried and I don't think any of us should be. Santos just wanted to know who his new DC would be and get to know him and his schemes. Santos knows CSS from his Bama camp and it's already been stated that the Santos family is a fan of the CSS hire.

Even skeeter thought Santos was all but gone once Wilcox and Sirmon left and now he feels like CSS will seal the deal tomorrow. If he feels that way, why shouldn't we?

CSS is one of the best recruiters in the country, coached LB's for the team that just won the NC and is now the DC at the school Santos is committed to...honestly, I'm thinking that Santos is probably pretty damn excited about the CSS hire...JMO

Just FWIW CSS was recruiting him hard to UA and he picked UT instead over UA. CSS would have been his position coach at UA.

Obviously I want to believe you but I have one time line issue that makes me think your not correct.

Were the comments made about being confused stated after SS was hired?
Those comments were the first time I thought there was genuine doubt in his mind.

If he made those statements after SS was hired then I can't believe that we have nothing to worry about.

Tells me that he has already said no once to SS and telling him that again might not be that tough to do. At the very least the wow factor that was reported isn't likely especially if those latest statements from Santos came after the hire.

Maybe he said no to Alabama, not CSS. IIRC, early reports are that he and dad like the Sunseri hire. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

No, you're right.

Santos belongs in orange. If he doesn't stick with UT, I will be shocked.

I still can't believe he wants to give Ohio State a look. Arkansas somewhat makes sense because it's SEC and it's closer to home. But then again, Texas A&M couldn't lure him.

If the statement below was made after the SS hire then I don't think the reports of him being excited about SS are accurate. Can someone confirm when this statement was made?

Santos:
To be honest with you man I feel lost,” he said. “I found out about them leaving right after one of our Under Amour practices. When they told me after practice I was like, ‘Man I can’t believe they didn’t tell me.’ I figured Coach Sirmon would tell me those kind of things. He said it all happened so fast but that’s life I guess. I’m still in disbelief that something like this would happen so I just have to sit back and really think about what I want to do now. The coaching staff from Tennessee were my guys so now I’m kind of like, what the hell do I do now? I’m so lost, I ain’t even going to lie. Don’t get me wrong, I like Tennessee besides the coaching staff, but for real Coach Sirmon and Coach Wilcox were a big part of that, but now that they’re gone, it kind of feels like it’s empty there
