We need to compete this year and a lot of good things, such as Malone, is going to come of it. I'm not saying we have to win 9 games and beat Bama, but just a showing of heart and determination will go so far for us in recruiting.

What has happened lately for him to back off the Vols? And what about his mom? I thought she wanted him at UT so he'd be closer?

I don't think anything has happened. He is just very quiet. Also his mom probably wants him elsewhere unless we show a good bit of improvement this season.

Heard from a pretty reliable source that it's between Oklahoma and Bama. Lets just say I live in Gallatin and word gets around.

Take Booth!

I think we are going to get burned here. I would love to have Malone as part of this class as I think he would be an instant impact kind of player. Booth can and will play in the SEC. He wants to commit now. Slow playing him is going to cost us IMO. If Booth commits and Malone decides to be a Vol, so be it. Take them both. We have Jackson on board as a Juco WR for 2014. North, Jackson, Booth, Harris, Croom, and others. IMO, Lauderdale is not a must have. If Malone chooses to go elsewhere, then Lauderdale is an option.

What we know:

Really likes UT and ND, some say he is a lean to UT while others have said ND. He has mentioned UT, ND Vandy, USC, and Ohio State as his top 5 a few months ago, but I've never heard any mention of Alabama being in the mix. He visited them twice last year. Has visited OSU, ND and Vandy a few times each and has visited UT about 8 times in total. BTW the recruiting services say he doesn't even have an offer from OU. :loco:

I just know his mom wants him to go out of state and those were the two schools that were given. I thought is was a little odd when they mentioned OU as well. They may have meant to say OSU.

So what you're saying is, word in Gallatin gets around like a game of Chinese whispers. Sounds legit.

I live in Gallatin, know his father, and know his coaches. Nobody has a clue what he is going to do.

I will say that I do get a vibe from reports that we may not be in the position some think we are in for getting him. I just do not hear him discuss UT with any of the writers.

How can we "lose him" if we never had him or clearly led?

:lol:

Hmm... I don't know. Maybe because he's an instate prospect. He clearly has interest in us. I don't think the Crystal Ball on 247 means much, but 9/10 analysts picked Josh to Tennessee.

I have kind of never really felt like we get him. Hopefully I am wrong, but it doesn't really appear he is showing the kind of interest I would think he would be showing.

Of course it could all be a smokescreen.

I don't know what to think about this one. Just hope he wants to be a Vol in the end

I've gotten so fond of the word smokescreen after reading it on here so many times, that I try to work it into my daily conversations now.

I'm holding out hope the coaches know something, or Booth would've committed by now. That's why I feel good. You can't tell Booth to wait, if they really did, because they feel like they have an "alright" feeling on landing Malone. They had to be feeling like they're leading or tied with someone, such as ND.
