The Inside Tennessee article said that he's coming in this December. I thought he wasn't coming in till 2013?
Smith said he intends to enroll at Tennessee "no later than December," adding: "I plan to be there at mid-semester."
If so, he'll be eligible to participate in spring practice.
If you go back on this thread you will find the answer and you shouldn't have to look too far (not being a jerk, that's a serious response). I think this article was published a couple weeks ago.
Basically, his situation isn't clear. The article made it sound like he could be here in January 2012, but I think they meant January 2013. Not sure what's up. He's still a Vol, which is the most important thing at this point.
I was hoping Corey would redshirt his first year of Juco and play his second year of Juco so that he would have 3 years to play 3 when he gets here.
He's been playing this year though, so it's looking like he'll have 3 to play 2 when he gets here.

- Scout"I've been talking to Coach Narduzzi a lot since I've been up here," he said. "They invited me to the game and I thought it was a great opportunity."
Smith says this is his first visit of the season, but it won't be his last.
"I'm going to try to catch a West Virginia game and hopefully a Tennessee game."
