VOTP, this is some of the stuff floating around.
This guy is with the Commercial Appeal.

It appears that ESPN, CBS, Yahoo have all been working the corruption-in-Memphis-high-schools story. Maybe the BBC and NPR, too. And FOX

It's going to be a tough week in Auburn, Alabama.
Also something involving E Florence and R Therezie and why they are not on the field yet. A lot of different rumors about injuries or position changes but still interesting. Therezie's name has been coming up on some U boards and is being somehow connected with the NCAA investigation into S FL along with some questions on the recruitment on A Young. Not sure if you saw the pic of Trooper's business card floating last week from a boat trip in Miami with him and A Young before commiting.
Again just curious what you are hearing and the only thing that I do know for sure with all of this is the main recruiter for all these players in question is Trooper. After that it is all speculation or wishful thinking on some.
VOTP...
A lot of Tennessee folks (including me) feel pretty good about our chances to land Lawson, especially if we continue to have a good season while Auburn is back to its normal, mediocre self. Your opinion on our chances with him??
TIA

I know Lawson is firm to AU but if he looks anywhere else I think UT will get the 1st look. JMO The only reason I could see him looking elsewhere is if AU dumps the season and/or the NCAA comes a calling. Well they are 0-2 and the smoke is getting thicker on the plains.
The 247 AU guy Phillip Marshall was asked and he can spin it better than anyone for AU.
Phillip~please tell me that this stuff about this ESPN supposedly releasing bad stuff on us is not true. I don't think I can take anymore negative stuff.

"I wish i could tell you that. I don't know for sure what it is, but what I'm hearing doesn't sound good. "
Apparently Auburn has contacted most of their recruits trying to do damage control...Lawson may be the first to say to show them the deuce and look elsewhere (i.e. UT).
