[VOLS_FAN15]

We need to have a good showing next week to keep the momentum in the win column and to help with recruiting.

Yes! Especially because we have D. Henry and TKJ. And if I'm right I think D. Green might be on campus next week too! Could be a HUGE recruiting game for us!

This must be new. Girl I went to high school with got a full ride to UT for cheering and that was only a few years ago.

It is not actually cheerleaders.. more of dance team program or some crap IDK. But Tennessee doesn't have the same program as Bama, thus his sister went to Bama

 

[joshc]

Alabama offers competitive cheerleeding and Tn does not. Remember that junk that you used to be able to watch on ESPN at like 1 am? That is why she went to Bama.

Not sure where some of the info is coming from but according to your UT sites UT offers 12 full scholarships and 2 partial in cheerleading and 10 full and 2 partial for dance. UT also offers a full scholaship for the mascot.

So yes UT offers cheerleading scholarships just like UA and so she did not decide to go to UA because UT did not.:hi:

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Why did she go then? Fell on her head in practice? Concussion?

 

[LynxVol]

Mascots definitely get a full scholarship. My sister when abroad with one of the mascots at the time.

No offense. But you have issues.

I have heard cheerleading recruiting is screwy. I actually knew a girl that wanted to cheer for UT but the year she would be a freshman they were only recruiting brunettes because of balance. She ended up at CU.

Because he brings facts?

If I have to explain it to you, you've obviously missed the point.

I recycled this off of memory and obviously was wrong. The story is somewhere in this thread, but I'm not digging it out :hi:

One year they cut all the "frisky" girls.

That would never be on this side of the board. This doesn't crack top 50.

Visited Bama this past weekend.

From Ohio St Rivals site:

"They (OSU) are always a great team with a strong coaching staff," said Kelly for his reasoning to make the trip. "I'm looking to have a great time and to enjoy myself in Buckeye Nation."
"I call coach Withers every now and then just to catch up on things and see how things are going up in Columbus," he said.
"I treat (Tennessee) just like any other team recruiting me," Kelly explained. "This is my journey so I'm not living off of what my dad accomplished."
