'12 VA DT Korren Kirven (Bama signee)

[TideWarrior]

What's up with Bama feeling they are so entitled that they can offer any and everyone a greyshirt? I have heard you say this a few times now...I know you mentioned it with Kwon Alexander. I'm sorry, but if I was the 8th or 10th or whatever ranked DT in the country as Kirven is, then I would tell them to take a hike, and take my scholly to UT or VT.

Has nothing to do with entitlement. UA has no more room, player contacts UA and UA gives them an option. They do not have to take it and they can go elsewhere. We also were informed today that we have 2 players(instate) that will be walking on.

If kids'll take the gray, then why not? Believe me, I hate Bama as much as you, but they just have that mojo right now. And it's not going away anytime soon, unfortunately.

I can just see this being Timmy Jernigan all over again, walks out on stage and doesn't even have a Vol hat on the table....good lord.

When Sunseri came here, Alabama was not a school Kirven talked much about. Also, it appeared that Alabama wouldn't have room which was a help to Tennessee. But the Tide does have room and Kirven likes the fact that they are winning.

I would guess that's where he ends up based on what we are hearing tonight.

This class imo, isn't gonna be good...we got a one or two bright spots, but thats it

When was the last time we moved in late on a DL and scooped him up on signing day?

unfortunately it feels like Reggie White was the last one

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I see this as kharma for allowing the orange overall brigade to blantly disregard rules against personal attacks and insults the past few months.board

 

[volsfan24018]

To my understanding, Kirven has been to UT on multiple visits. Doesn't Dooley stress to probable commits to visit multiple times to "sure up" the decision. I say Kirven follows his heart and chooses Tennessee. "Reel him in, Sal!"

 

[TideWarrior]

How did Bama notify him during the dead period? Legit question, I thought programs couldn't contact recruits today.

Actually no inperson contact on or off campus. They can still phone or write the recruits during the dead period.

A recruit can contact the coaches though, is this correct?

Sentimore, McCullers, Obrien, Bowles, Croom, Howard, McNeil, Peterman, Bonner, and Bourque all provide, if nothing else, quality depth at positions of need.

Not to mention guys like Lewis, Taylor, Hill, and Gray have the potential to surprise.

It'll be ok.

 

[VolFromNashville]

I don't see him coming to UT if Bama has a spot for him. It seems a potentially good NSD is going to the dumps in terms of getting some uncommitted players.

 

[Purplehaze26]

Don't know how Bama can have a spot for them when they already have 27 commits. More grayshirts? Walk-ons?hmy:

 

[Smokeytom]

Is kirven annoucing on ESPNU or on tv anywhere?

 

[BJWeeks]

I'm sure they will allow Saban to sign over 25. Hes got 27 signing tomorrow. Don't be suprised if they sign 30. SEC would not say a darn thing.

 

[TideWarrior]

Both ways. the coach can also still call the recruit. Dead period just prevents any inperson contacts either on or off campus. Quiet period just prevents the coaches from visiting off campus.

Thanks for clarification.

Saban will only sign 25 tom that will count towards the 2012 class if we get all as expected.

Who are yall dropping then? Must tell 3 players to look elsewhere to get Kirven.

We actually only have 25, because J Taylor was already told he was a grayshirt and Gladney was confirmed today to be headed to JUCO. We have 3 of our EEs that are able to backcount. So tommorow we could add 3 more to the 22 that we hope will sign against the 2012 class.

 

[JacketVol]

I hope we are calling some guys then.

I think you can only back count 2 in any class.

No, you can backount as many spots as you had remaining in the previous class. Alabama only signed 21 last year so they can backcount 4

You didn't figure in Bammer math
