'14 AL DE Cory Thomas (Now the enemy)

[bigorange]

Hubbs just said he flipped to Miss St.

Committed to UT, Clemson is his #1, signs with Miss St?

hahahaha may have dodged a little bullet here.

Glad it's over. Don't even really care to be honest. Good luck cory.

Wow... Great minds

 

[davethevol]

Ainge said that he expected Thomas would be told to look elsewhere after Sawyers signed. It would not surprise me if that were the case.

 

[m1al]

Wow. Nice late 'deposit' by the Cowbells. Good luck to him. I always thought MSU made more sense than Clemson.

Since we can sign 32 and saying we do not have a Big Fish lined up, maybe Dews can get a scholly with this class.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

In my opinion he was waiting see if sawyers signed with us

 

[Swan Ronson]

Acceptable loss. I'll take an in-state kid everyday over an out of stater that's been nothing but a soap opera.

Let's say Tennessee loses Thomas. Wouldn't u trade an instate kid 4-star with no grade concerns for an out of state 3-star with concerns?

grade concerns? hmmm

Hmmm indeed.

 

[SimplyOrange]

Good luck to him. Would have liked to have him in orange, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Quite a change of pace to not see a meltdown over losing a commit on NSD, especially a DL.

It would have been nice to have Thomas. But, as others have pointed out, Sawyers is a good swap for him.

 

[Morpheus]

Was always MSU. Everything else was just for show, IYAM.

Typical weird recruitment of a bama/mississippi kid where money was almost certainly the major factor. JMO from many years of observing.

 

[volssam]

Miss state put the full court press on him and snagged him from programs like UT and Clemson in a matter of hours?

Seems legit.

 

[RockyTop411]

Fine with me. This makes the numbers that much easier. Good to cut dead weight such as Mouhon and Thomas, both of which were scared of competition.

Forgot about Mixon counting towards this class. 32 is the limit. No Dews for this year. Prep school it is.

I believe this is most likely the scenario.

:good!:

I disagree. I think Sawyers was a great swap.

Just signed with Miss St.

Good luck, Cory! Except vs. UT.

Mouhon is a beast, and Thomas is no slouch. We Vol fans always like to bash players for going to Bama when the stable is full, but we bash a kid for not coming here under similar circumstances. Heavy competition and limited snaps are different things, and MooMoo also gets to play with his brother. I don't want to call you out alone, but this is the most significant day of some of these kids' young lives. Have respect.

Get UT commit away from this kid's name. Cya bud

 

[USMC_0311]

Why do some people find the need to drag schools along and flip at the last minute?? Obviously we thought he would flip which is why we heavily pursued Sawyers...but just be straight up. We've gotta remember that they're just kids...but dang this pisses me off.

 

[HwyChile]

Guess he was scared of competition from all the D line recruits we brought in. Have fun with the cow bells.

 

[BennisDrewer]

I love the fact that I don't care....I mean it would've been nice to have him, but the fact this class is so full of talent that he didn't want to be here says something (I'm just speculating thats what happened). This class is so amazing, I kept waiting for the wheels to fall off, for things that happen to UT to happen....and aside from Lambert, it never happened. So great to be a Vol!
