So what, we're not supposed to talk about the possiblity this young man could flip because it might upset him and cause him to flip? Seriously? If he uses that as an excuse to flip he was just looking for a reason to flip. Teams get burned by flips all the time, so why shouldn't fans be concerned when other coaches obviously have a commit's ear? It's understandable for fans to speculate on a mb. Now if some fans are tweeting him about it, they should stop, but if it's just mb chatter that's upsetting him, he shouldn't read mbs. I never feel safe with any commit until he's signed some papers that lock him in to UT. Until that happens, there's always the chance they change their mind, or have it changed for them.

Talk about sure, obsess over? Guess it depends upon the person. I just find it amusing that we have 5-6 pages over a kid flipping who reaffirmed he was committed and had no plans to flip. Afterwards, fans continued to tweet him to get an even stronger sign than he is staying at UT other than the fact that he already told them as much.

On here we have fans that dissect every word to give it some sort of extra meaning to either worry or act as if the sky is falling. Threads at that point become laughable and do nothing to help bring a recruit to UT which I would imagine is the ultimate goal. So that being said why do you suggest that we talk incessantly about the same thing over and over again?

He re-affirmed his commitment, yet continues to talk to other coaches. That doesn't ring any alarm bells for you? Sounds like some commits we've had in the past, who then flipped despite saying they were committed.

I don't follow twitter. I don't tweet prospects. Hell, I don't even have a twitter account. I don't believe in stalking these guys for their every word. But when they give interviews and that info makes its way here, it's free to be dissected. I'm wary of any fan interaction with a prospect whether he's comitted or not. There should be boundaries, but all the boundaries have been blurred by the information age.

In case you missed it, we're in a thread dedicated to this young man and his recruitment. The chance of him flipping is a part of that recruitment. If you don't like reading he could flip, don't open this thread. Pretty easy concept.

And your opinion that the ultimate goal of a player dedicated thread is to bring him to UT is laughable. This isn't a recruiting tool. If it were, I'm sure many NCAA rules would have been broken by now. This is where fans come to discuss who the Vols are after. I would never encourage a recruit to read mbs. What a recruit needs to know about fans he can learn on a fall Saturday in Neyland Stadium.

Only thing laughable is you worrying about a 20 year old deciding what college that he is going to attend. Well that and you made a definitive statement that he is talking to another school. Anything to back that up with? (links, quotes,etc.)

Also recruits do read message boards whether you advise them to or not.Truth is, I'm not worried about anything in this thread, but I have seen some threads get out of hand when it comes to bashing a recruit. And it would suck if we had a potential impact player coming our way and some mouth breathing, slack jawed, knuckle dragging blockhead made a lot of boneheaded comments and caused the kid to go another direction. And I'm not saying it is a recruiting tool to help us, but if history of past recruits have proven anything it can hurt us. So why do it? And to say otherwise is just sticking your head in the sand.

Kick rocks. And while you're kicking them analyze what I meant by that.

By the way nimrod, I've been in the thread during this entire supposed scare. I've yet to see pics or numerous stories. Just one from Keith Niebuhr where he completely backed off his stance almost as soon as he put the information from a 'source close to the situation' out there. Make things up much?

Care to provide a link to this definitive statement?

JMO, but Lambert is maybe the key recruit in this entire class. He is big enough to play DT and we are really hurting there. We have missed on nearly every big time DT we have gone after for years now and about 2-3 of them play for Auburn (Ford, Gabe Wright and maybe another one IIRC).

This is a chance for Butch to show more improvement if he can stop the trend of letting Auburn poach our defensive line recruits.

Also, Lamin needs to rethink where he is going because USCe is on the way down. Their class is just awful this year and it looks like Spurrier is phoning it in now on the recruiting trail. He just looks like he doesn't enjoy it anymore.

What's funny is how you make yourself this so-called voice of reason when you know jack squat. Step off your holier-than-thou pedestal and stop being an asshat.

I hope the young man keeps his commitment, but, how did you put it, "if history of past recruits have proven anything",it's that sometimes, young men change their minds, despite saying all along they were 100% committed. When the signature is on his loi, then they'll be nothing to talk about.

Man I was saying the same thing when I looked at USCe recruiting class. This class look very Fulmer like.
These classes probably won't get much better either simply because he's getting older and on top of that he will be able to stay at USCe as long as he want. He can go 7-5 next year and they'll be happy.

Agreed, at this point any nonsense about him flipping is from someone so miserable they want him to flip so they can be 'right' and get imaginary internet points, or one of these semantical blockheads that tries to rephrase everything people say to mean something that it doesn't.

Where can I get some imaginary internet points? I don't think I have any.

If he's still listening/talking to AU coaches, it's not over. Seems pretty simple to me.

That is the main issue with all the "talk" going on that Lambert seems to not like. If he continues to "talk" with au and tell the recruiting services about it, fans will continue to "talk" about him flipping.

If the above is true then it sounds to me like he's mad that people figured out he's got plans outside of Tennessee.

Here's the rub. If Lambert stays committed, you have posters like Sand saying "I told you so". If he flips, the same posters will blame those of us talking about the possibility for the flip and refuse to accept this mb has nothing to do with a recruit's decision. These are normally the same people wanting to claim others are trying to score "imaginary internet points". So who is it that's really trying to score points?

I hope the young man stays committed. We need him.

You can watch Lambert and his No. 1 GMC team face No. 2 East Mississippi CC (with Jarran Reed, DJ Pettway & Avery Gennesy) today at 3:00 EST. I'm curious to see how GMC's Jovon Robinson fares against the top-ranked rushing defense. Should be a very entertaining game! FWIW, Lambert's jersey number is 89.

East Mississippi, which won its only title in 2011, leads the country in several offensive and defensive categories. Coach Buddy Stephens' Lions are first nationally in scoring offense (63.2 points per game), touchdowns (97), total offense (611.1 yards per game), scoring defense (7.7 ppg), rushing defense (58.9 ypg), interceptions (29) and sacks (61).

Georgia Military, which claimed the NJCAA crown in 2001, also finished as national runner-up in 2002 and 2005. Led by freshman running back Jovon Robinson (a former Auburn signee), Bert Williams' Bulldogs average 46.5 points per game and lead the country in rushing (293.5 yards per game) and yards per carry (7.0).
