'13 GA DE Carl Lawson (Auburn commit)

Carl Lawson seems to be a class act. The way he handles questions about his recruitment is excellent. His comments about his UT visit show a clear ability to appreciate the history of the program. I hope this translates to a connection with the Vols that allows him to choose UT.

I really believe that Butch Jones and his group of assistant coaches will lead young guys such as Carl, to be very successful if they select UT. There seems to be a growing sense of "family" in the program.

This sense, I believe, comes from Coach Jones' decision to bring a good many of his Cincy assistants with him to UT. And, also, how Coach has brought the former players back into the program where they belong. Coach keeping "our" Jay Graham from the old staff was a great decision....our running backs were so much better last year and while the OL always plays a big role....the improvement in the backs was clear.

I am the type that likes to hear ESPN report things to feel most confident rather than local media. I guess because of the recent upsets we have had as far as getting our hopes up.

That said, ESPN Rumors has updated a little section talking about Carl Lawson recently declining to talk with LSU about a potential offer. They later went on to comment about the obvious 3 destinations for Lawson at this point: UT, UA, and Clemson. I wanted to post a piece of the section for you all that don't have access to all of the rumors:

"LSU attempted to make a late push to land the nation's No. 2 recruit and Auburn commit, Carl Lawson (Alpharetta, Ga./Milton). Milton was conflicted on the possibility of LSU as a destination. He then decided if Les Miles' squad would be a part of his recruitment or not.

"(LSU assistant) Brick Haley talked to Carl the other day,” Milton coach Howie DeCristofaro told Michael Carvell of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “After he left, I asked Carl ‘You interested?’ He was like, ‘I don’t know, coach. Let me think about it.’ He came back 30 minutes later and said ‘Coach, if they call, tell them no thanks. They just got in so late, and I don’t really know much about them.’”

Auburn, Clemson and Tennessee are the primary candidates to land the top flight defensive end recruit."

Dave Hooker went on to comment what he thinks Lawson's current stance is:

"The nation's No. 2 prospect is still committed to Auburn, but is looking at several other schools. Clemson looked to be in good shape recently, but Tennessee's new staff has helped its standing with Lawson. Auburn and Ole Miss are in the running but need to make up ground. "

It seems to me that by saying Auburn and Ole Miss need to make up ground then Tennessee must be the favorites. Again, this is one guys opionion, but anytime ESPN is saying anything Tennessee with some positive news to it I get a little happy!
