'14 JUCO DT Davonte Lambert (Auburn Commit 12/18/13)

Is this the first recruits rank to ever increase after being tied to the University of Tennessee?

Bates got a pretty drastic bump. Gavin Bryant got bumped to a 4 star composite. TK got an extra point last time around too. I think Joe Henderson climbed a bit as well.

You have to remember up until days ago, UT was not figured to be a contender for his landing spot. I bet the ratings were refigured before the news broke. Now that it seems he will pick Tennessee, I would expect his rating to drop to maybe an 88. :p
 
Was trying to make a joke:p Thanks for the facts tho, i did not know they all received bumps. I guess its not espn.
 
"In fact, a source tells us the Tigers believe this is an Auburn-Florida battle -- not a Florida-Tennessee battle."

According to Niebuhr. Got this from 247sports.

The Auburn mods are some of the most homeristic toolbags on any site. They think they're going to get everyone. They're even worse than Barton Simmons.
 
Post from the Gators board Crystal ball post

THREE-STAR DEFENSIVE LINEMAN DAVONTE LAMBERT

When: Tuesday August 13th

Chances: 49% Tennessee / 49% Florida / 2% Auburn

Blake's Take: This is going to be a close one for this junior college big man. Florida is one of the teams that have been on Lambert the longest thanks in part to defensive line coach Brad Lawing. On the other hand, Lambert believes that Tennessee presents a better chance to contribute earlier. In the end I think Florida edges out and picks up this talented big man, but it will be a close one against Tennessee, much closer than it would have been six weeks ago when this seemed like a slam dunk for the Gators.

Either we play spoiler or Florida gets a huge boost next week if they get all those guys. Hope they don't have a week like we did
 
That article sounded to me like he's playing the homer as to not cause a meltdown on the boards, but he's giving himself an out when Lambert picks TN.

The thing here is that every school feels good about their chances, but the schools that aren't in contention are picking UT. That and our writers are the most conservative. Hubbs, Fort, and Callahan don't sugar coat things. Which is the exact opposite of the AU writers who think they land everyone.

We should be thankful for Hubbs, Fort, and Callahan because those 3 are some of the best (and un-homerish) in the biz.

People assuming where I'm going to go ! Trust me no one knows where I'm going still deciding !
 
People need to calm down acting like they know what he's going to do. Don't count your chickens before they hatch guys.

My unhatched chickens are counted.

That sounded an awful lot like an "I'm gonna shock the world!" tweet to me. We know what that means :)

Missed this thread the last few days. Other than 247's predictions, what changed that made us feel he's going to announce for the Vawls?

Hubbs throwing out his "In a good position" speak, which basically means he is ours barring something unheard of happening.

Just a lot of chatter. A big thing was the prediction by Mansell to Vols. He is a guy who has followed Lambert since he was in high school. Since Lambert was in high school that is. :)
