'13 CO OL Dan Skipper (Arky commit)

[supersmo18]

Knoxville isn't exactly NYC.

It is compared to Fayetteville.

The only good a 6'10 295lb kid will do in college will be in basketball if he can block and rebound. The height and weight may be impressive and look good on paper, but when you start getting older your legs start getting wear and tear. I never wish it on any player, but he has a high percentage chance of having knee problems the first couple years in the NCAA.

This should be no shock to anyone. Everyone knew his commitment to us was shaky at best (this is eerily similar to Carl Lawson’s commitment to Auburn). His relationship was with Pittman and he is a great coach. He did wonders for our line and of all the coaches the he was the only one that I can remember the players campaigning for. I would have rather had Morris anyway simply because he was an in-state player, but it looks like we may have burned that bridge which is puzzling.

I am curious as to what this does to our rivals ranking. In before we are going to end up being ranked 14th in the conference.

So you think that after the recruits sign that UT will be 14th in the conference....priceless.

Key words "in before"

Can you be too tall to be an O-lineman?

It is compared to Fayetteville.

You'd be surprised, smo. Fayetteville is actually a little underrated IMO.

 

[UTVolWarrior98]

I know losing this kid isnt all that terrible, but man, its just bad news after bad news after bad news for this program. When will this curse stop?! Just sick and tired of getting our teeth kicked in constantly. I am, however, keeping the faith that CBJ and crew will right this sunken ship!

There is no such thing as a "high-horse" when it comes to recruiting. Verbal commits are all fair game until they sign on the dotted line and it cuts both ways.

Wonder if this guy got the Otha P. special?

You must have missed his whining and crying from his mangina over CUM calling on his committed players last year. "It's a gentlemans agreement that you don't do that."

 

[NEVolFan]

Wonder if he's a bible salesman

You don't say much my friend, but when you do it's to the point, and I salute you for it.

 

[Biopsyman]

Pittman in beast mode.. Signed Screw you if you fire me

 

[zero-sum]

Did not won't to lose Dan too. Wish him well.

 

[OSVolFan]

To Tall Jones was

I heard he was in fact....................."too tall".

 

[UTGhostHunter]

This was an expected outcome. Anticipate Joe Sanders going elsewhere too. Of course, if we win some of our high-profile recruiting battles this is a non-story.

 

[tsvol06]

Knoxville isn't exactly NYC.

Thank God.

 

[NEVolFan]

I like his film. Dude plays mean and he's really athletic too.

Meaner than a junk yard dog.

No, I did not miss little Billllllllllemia's whining about Mr.Exhaustion going after his verbals. My point is that all verbals are open game to any school. Most coaches must wear a cup 24 7 because they are open to being kicked in the man region at any time by any recruit.

 

[munsterlander]

I see this dropped us to 40th in the Rivals rankings.

[GBO97]

About the rankings look on the bright side. If this one decommit drops us 9 whole spots, just think how high up we will go if we get any of Lawson, Bell, or North.

If we had kept him you would have raved about his potential. I'll be honest, wish we had kept him

 

[thebjd]

I just don't understand recruits wanting to go to Arkansas. It's a 4 light town in the absolute middle of nowhere. Good luck, Skipper!

Fayetteville is a nice town. I like Knoxville better but Fayetteville is way better than an Oxford, Starkville or Tuscaloosa.

 

[UTVolWarrior98]

As long as we get Kondolo and/or another solid 3-4 star all is well. We need some good news asap!

Gonna be interesting to see how our guys do at Arkansas.

Koehler, now Skipper. The love keeps flowing for Sam Pittman.

Fade, please. Fayetteville is like the trailer park and Knoxville, the upper-middle class suburb. We buy our drugs there, but you won't catch us there after darK!
