Maybe there werent any left they liked to bring in. Do I really have to answer that for you? Good grief some posters i feel like I have to dumb down to try and communicate with. Cant believe I actually had to answer that, but considering the most negative poster on VN and really on VN and VQ. Thats saying something big boy. Award goes to you bro, keep up the tremendous work. :)

I don't care where you live you obviously haven't seen Johnathan Ford play. I'm not sure who you think was the best back in that area but according to all the recruiting services Ford is not only the best back in North Alabama he is the best back in Alabama period. Derrick Green has said himself he has to run 4-5 miles a day to keep his weight down and I just think eventually he isn't going to be able to maintain his current 220-225 lbs and will climb closer to the 270 he weighed as a freshman.

The schedule they had is a joke. The teams in the highlights are awful. I grew up in Sardis and they played them every year until this year. Toby Pee had almost the same numbers as Ford. And played a much tougher schedule than Ford. I think its very arguable that he's not the best in the state. If he was I would ve heard more on him before this year.

An Alabama kid who says his favorite team has always been Auburn. Unless Auburn didn't offer him I have never seen a situation where this would go well for anyone else recruiting him. Same with Von Bell for us I think.

Its been quoted that he likes UT better but his Dad is a huge AU fan and wants him there. If he ends up there good for him, but hopefully he's a Vol.

Lee didn't visit because he wasn't a take until yesterday when the staff found out ford was out IMO.

I wish I could say I respected your opinion but its certainly not one that is going to be considered for any bit of thought delivered in such a manner!

Interview sounded pretty good for the Vols. Not sure where the no chance he comes to UT vibe is coming from.Lee has nothing to do with Ford, coach's wanted 2.

I just read it. I guess from hearing it, my view could be different. But from simply reading the article that Swain posted, it seems to favor the barn.

Damn lost in translationg

Not listening. How did it sound?

"Hard to say no", as in "Just couldn't turn them down..."?

or

"Hard to say no, but..."?

Like I said, early in he interview I thought it was pretty obvious he'd be a Tiger. But then he started talking about how hard it was to tell the Vandy coaches, and it made it sound like he wanted the Auburn coaches to know how hard it was for him to tell them no. Know what I mean?

The staff was always looking to take 2 backs. Lee's name came up when Green announced 2 weeks ago. Ford is probably going to announce Auburn, but I don't think the staff has been told either way. They will find out when we find out tomorrow.

Lee came on board for a reason. I know the staff still wants Rudy but it's pretty obvious what's going on.

Careful! Got to try harder to get up to the intellectual capacity of the all knowing poster Jason. He is getting tired of having to dumb down his post and I am afraid more logical post like this might frighten his superior thinking.

My personal opinion has been we needed two RB in this class but I can't think of any other explanation for why we didn't have another visitor on campus this weekend than the staff is fine with only one.

They felt ford was on board last Thursday and decided to have lee not visit. Once they got bad news yesterday they scrambled and convinced lee to commit. I hope I am wrong but logic tells me lee is connected to bad news from ford.

In all seriousness i can't find any poster to give a good reason we didn't have a RB on campus last weekend if we intended to sign 2. Your response didn't hold water because lee was good enough to take. I am convinced the staff told ford he was the only RB we were taking.

I think the staff probably did try and work Ford, telling him we would only take 1 rb if he did commit before NSD. Since he didn't commit early, we had to hedge our bets and get a rb before risking ending up with 0. To me, Jabo isn't an admission of missing on Ford, its just ensuring we get a rb period.

You are contradicting yourself here. You can't promise a kid he is the only RB and then offer another to hedge your bet unless he is willing to keep silent which didn't happen.
