'14 IL DE Dewayne Hendrix (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[24/7vol]

My 8 year old is ALL ORANGE and hate Alabubba and the gators. He is really going to enjoy 2015 and on as the Vols take their place at or near the top of the SEC again.

I thought they were selling him on the fact they send DL to the NFL? 5 right now, iirc.

I REALLY hope this is what he meant. Ah, who the hell knows other than him? Maybe he even doesn't.

I don't stalk kids on twitter or even have a twitter. But if he did tweet that I think since it's coming from mom then it should be taken as a positive. Where he grew up the expected path would be Mizzou. Mom is saying dont be like everyone else.

 

[Spartacavolus]

So you have no arguement then

Correct. You quoting a random Bryant quote from an Alabama kid with potential grade issues means you know what happened with this Hendrix deal. I was wrong to tell you that you don't know wtf happened.

I think I will just go with your positive take on this RTTT and enjoy my Saturday.

This does make sense if you really think about it. I'll roll with it.:gone:

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Matt or Vol74, if one of you are lurking, can you give us any info on the feeling about Hendrix?

Sounds like a good breakdown to me. I like it!

 

[Spartacavolus]

Heading to jonathons to numb myself a little prior to this ballgame fellas.

Look forward to hearing some news. Hopefully no more cryptic tweets. Maybe bring back the Great Carnac to decipher.

My mom has drilled this quote in me " Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail".- R. Emerson

Hendrix just tweeted.

It's in reference to the geographic expectancy of Missouri and his home town. One would expect him to stay in the area or region and could be pressured by other coaches to do that. However going to TN and play would be a new trail in regards to athletes in his area. I would say its a very good tweet if you are a TN fan.

thats exactly how i took it but apparently some others were jumping off the ledge after that tweet.

 

[Wilson27]

I like it. Wasn't really thinking about the geographic part of the equation.

It is truly a bad habit to form to jump to the worst conclusion and make it a habit.

We have to have some excitement since we are being featured on ESPN signing day. Class is been full for a while, so Butch setting up for some excitement when Hendrix sends in the Big Orange Fax. Butch Gets It!!!

 

[Volfan1973]

I understand that the meaning is to be a leader. Do not follow what others have done. Instead do something that is different or new.

 

[Wilson27]

Can't wait till signing day!

exactly and when you grow up 2 hours from Mizzou like Dewayne the common thing to do would be go to Mizzou. good vibes!

 

[UNGVol]

Been busy today. Can someone give me the scoop on recent news and where we stand with Hendrix?

He did take the trip. THAT is the only fact we have now.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

So this guy talked to a guy who apparently talked to a girl who claims to be Dewayne's girlfriend. Guy also claims to have a "girlfriend". This guy is so lying.

 

[jspvol76]

Here is another fact, Vols make their own path!

 

[Ron Swanson]

I heard some guy named Mark thinks he might gray shirt. Waiting on confirmation.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Remember guys, Butch still has his in home. That's the main thing keeping me positive. We get the last major contact with him AND his family.

His quotes about Tennessee's staff being like family are what's keeping me positive about this and why I think he will sign with Tennessee - and so will Barnett. Unless he is pulling a Lambert and I really don't think he is. Time to relax, watch some bball, put a log on the fire and get drunk....Nothing to see here - Hendrix is a Vol.
