You don't have to talk one kid down because you like the other unless it's factual comments. No doubt both these guys would increase the value of this team.

I keep seeing posters encouraging you guys to reach out to our coaches. Have you done that??

I can say that without a doubt that coaches are in some cases influenced by kids that a persistent in expressing their passion for schools. My advice is for the kid to do 100per of the talking for himself. Confidence and persistence could be the thing that impresses the coaches enough to make an offer. Take this for Fwiw but I post this with some experience on the subject.

He's not the flavor of the month. He's a kid who likes UT, and competed at the same camp...and won it! Why would we NOT want both? Any time you have 2 QB's at an Elite 11 camp wanting to come here, why would we want to turn them away if there is room on the roster?

Seems like a blatantly racist comment, lumping AW with another Black QB prospect, as if they are all the same. I'm a conservative white male, and these ridiculous stereotypes really tick me off. Why do you not compare Riley with Matt Simms, Jonathan Crompton and a host of other white "busts?" Huh?

Cause you got a racist mentality is why. Every black QB prospect has to be weighed by the failures of a few others, eh? Never by the successful ones. Blatant double standard, here.

You are way overreaching on both your assumptions and your conclusions. Most rational readers would not read into the post what apparently you have chosen to make up.

It's not one or the other, folks.

Unless the coaches decide that, or a recruit is unwilling to come in with another prospect.

It's really pretty simple, but we keep reverting this conversation backwards

asantii would be a project guy anyways. He just broke his ankle and needs work on his fundamentals from what I've read. Take both if we can but not at the risk of losing Riley. Hubbs stated we're not going after asantii so it's relevant anyways.

If he's a project why would taking him too scare off Ferguson?

What about a gray shirt offer to Woulard? Personally, I think that could make all parties involved happy. Just thinking outside the box.

Someone please provide a link where RF said that he would not come to TN if another QB was offered or committed. All of the discussion that is causing emotional distress across 2 separate threads was started by speculation that something MAY happen.

It has been stated several times that RF is ALL VOL. Until something else verifiable occurs, I choose to believe that.

USMC1 is very close to Riley. He has posted "be careful what you wish for" when it comes to Riley looking around. That is where a lot of the fear and speculation started. I believe that he's all Vol. JMO.

USMC1 is also the one that said that RF wasn't afraid of competition, understands that there is competition at every level and would not decommit based on AW being offered or committing. (In the AW thread).

USMC1 and Seldom seen are both very close to their respective QB. Naturally, they want the best for them and will defend them to the end. Our fans, by chiming in constantly with half-truths and innuendo are making tempers rise and could start the process in the minds of the young men of whether either of them want to be here.

All I'm saying is that the only people who truly know what is going on are the coaches, the QB recruits and their families. Everyone else should take a chill pill.

Oregon & Loiusville are now interested in Riley also they expect to hear from Arkansas. Alabama's OC was at the his basketball the other night. They want him to make an offocial visit. Jones has called him twice. Jones and Graham has been to see him. Jones wants to go visit with them as again. A couple of the UT coaches are planning on going to his basketball game. Through all this he is still committed to UT. Just to put this out there his older brother is a pretty good reciever. It would be nice to see that combination in a few years.

I think this qualifies as reaching out to him. Hopefully he will stay committed because he will be good. IMO

If you're the number #2 DT quarterback, the Elite 11 MVP...you really think you're going to take a gray shirt year and pay out of state tuition, when you could get a regular scholarship to a D-1 school, and have a chance at starting at most places?

I agree that AW probably needs a redshirt year, but I would think that's completely out of the question to suggest a gray shirt.

Tino Thomas sat out and took the gray shirt. He didn't pay any tuition. He worked with a trainer back home. THAT is what I meant. I guess I should've clarified further.

Agree both have the potential to be real good. If peterman are worley get hurt Asiantii is more physically ready to play next year.
