Again, why would he announce the day before his Bama OV and it be to Georgia? If that happened, Saban would probably tell him to not come and thanks, but no thanks. He's announcing the day before, so that he can officially end the process and then go live it up at Bama on his OV, where he is committed. In the end, CJG and DD did all they could to sway him, but it sounds like it's not going to be enough. The only chance that we have is that he cancels his OV to Bama after his OV to Knoxville, which will be the writing on the wall, as to where he is going.

There is a lot of time between his announcement to whereever and his EE date.

It's looking like Bama but I still think there's a chance for the Vols. If he is blown away on his visit here he still could commit to us and cancel the Bama trip.

With these comments, it'll be Bama. Why would you commit to TN and announce it the day before your OV to Bama? Just wants to go watch the TN-UF game...he'll probably be pulling for the Gators, since it sounds like he grew up a fan. His decision is reinforced by the 2nd bolded comment...Tunsil isn't even interested in TN...I don't think. TW, I thought Georgia led for Tunsil. What do you know about his recruitment?

I have no idea who he's going to pick, sure sounds like Bama. But just because he has a visit scheduled somewhere doesn't mean he'll actually make the trip.

I know this is opposite of what you all are thinking but what if he is planning on committing to us on the 28th so that he can see Bammers best effort to flip him. Would he get treated better as an already commit or a guy they desperately want to flip?

Again highly doubt this is how he's thinking but who really know? No one.

Good point, Swan. How many times (this yr and yrs past) have we witnessed these kids change their minds/say one thing-do another?

After his game last night he said he will visit UT for the FL game on the 22nd. Also wants to announce on the 28th on ESPN during his nationaly televised HS game. Will take OV to UA on the 29th.

One more note. He stated that him and L Tunsil will play at the same school for their college ball.

Unless I am mistaken I thought last night he didn't say for sure he would visit for the ole miss-bama game. I thought his statement had a little less certainty

His plan is to visit for the Ole Miss game but the staff apparantly wants him to come for the aTm game since it will be bigger and apparantly alot of visits are setup for that game. aTm is the only good game home for UA this season except for the Iron Bowl. UM, Ark, UT, and LSU are road games.

But last night he said he would take 2 OVs this fall UT and UA.

He was asked directly about that and he said he would take all his planned OVs no matter what. Even if he commited before any would still visit.

Would throw off the scent. He certainly knows how to play the game.

This certainly could be the case. RM20 has seemed pretty reliable with his info. He said Demarcus Walker was Bama bound a long time ago, and he was right. He also has said, along with TW, that Henry has been a silent to Bama for a long time...he will probably be right with this one as well.

I'd be very surprised. Package deals don't always work out in the end. I guess they would both end up at Bama if that were the case.

TBH I am not sold on Tunsil ending up at UA. I guess anything is possible and both have now mentioned playing together. As far as I know UA is still trying to make up ground on UGA for Tunsil.

Per 247 -

Plans to make his announcement on Sept. 28 when his HS plays on ESPN. He wants to get to UT for the UF game on the 15th of Sept., and to Bama on the 29th of Sept. He's already been to UF and Bama games, so he knows what they are like, and he wants to know what UT is like. Bama is still #1. Him and DeMarcus Walker (Bama commit) talk about every other day. They got close over the summer. Henry adamantly stated that he and Laremy Tunsil will attend the same school.

It's becoming more and more obvious, IMO, where Henry is going. He stated in the article he's going to a Bama game the day after his announcement. His whole family is going to be in town for his announcement.
