I'd say we have about a 60% chance of landing him. This is going to be the most exciting recruitment to watch up to signing day.

Barton Simmons' explanation on why he changed his prediction.


"I picked Malone to Georgia all the way back in May but I recently changed that prediction to Florida State. My reason for that was I started to question how much room Georgia had for him and how hard they would be recruiting him consequently.

I also felt that based on who i had talked to and talking to Josh that the visit to Florida State went well, and I had received some indicators that FSU was trending. Well I'm back on the UGA train. I'm now hearing that while FSU is likely to get an official, they aren't likely to be his final destination. And it also sounds like Georgia will have room for him.

I continue to think it's a two-team race as things stand right now. I think Georgia is one of the teams and I had thought FSU was the other but that's no longer my impression. I don't know who the other main contender is. SImply by process of elimination, I think Vandy could be the other team but I haven't gotten any confirmation from anywhere to give me much confidence in that.

Tennessee has definitely made a push of late and could be a team to watch but I still have my doubts that the Vols have gone from out of consideration to top 2."

He hasn't a clue.

No doubt. What a transparent Vandy homer embarrassment. He has no idea who the other contender is, hasn't gotten ANY confirmation from ANYWHERE to give him confidence, but he's gonna go with.... VANDY?? That's all ya got Barton?? What an idiot...

I agree that no one really knows and that we have just as good a chance as anyone at this point.

Just for kicks imagine this next year....

A WR rotation of Malone, Lauderdale, North, Kameel Jackson and let's say, oh I don't know... Dominique "freakin" Booth?

I know there are others in the stable, but that's some serious talent and speed just right there... the future is very bright at WRU.

Fun to watch

He plans to enroll early so his recruitment should end in December.

:hi:

Even better. I like the way this young man operates. Very deliberate in everything he does and keeps everything close to the vest. It shows he's got a good head on his shoulders and has good instruction as well.

Whoever says UT has a shot is all that matters. If someone says the Vols lead, they are without a doubt in the know. If anyone says that Tennessee is not in the mix, they are full of it! :)

And this goes for any recruit who even mentions Tennessee.

Probably more truth to this post than any I've read on volnation

The only part of Sumner county I'm not crazy about is Madison. There are quite a few bad areas in that town. Rivergate mall has went downhill as well.

Madison isn't in Sumner County. It's solidly in Davidson County. Goodlettesville is partially in Davidson and Sumner. That whole area is increasingly becoming ESL, unfortunately. Not Sumner County (yet), but certainly Davidson County.

Lack of drama is a very good sign.

Really hope Croom blossoms and soon. I kinda thought of him as one "in the stable" primarily cause CBJ recently called Croom a work in progress and has a long way to go. He's one of my favorites and I hope the light comes on as soon as possible for him.

We need Croom to play to his potential in a bad way this year.

Agreed. I really thought he was on his way based on what the coaches said about him earlier this spring. Don't know if his injury late spring set him back but it doesn't seem he's progressed.

Croom is on his way. He's just a RS Freshman learning a new system, some learn faster than others. Remember he was out some of spring/summer with an injury. The best part about Croom is that he's coachable and works hard. He's going to be just fine, he'll learn best on the field this fall. JMO

It plays out everyday on here. You just have to either accept the homerism for what it is or take the time to dig a little yourself into what's being said on other sites. This year more than any in the past, all it takes is a recruit to drop a #Vols on twitter and his folks already have the moving truck loaded and on the interstate headed to Knoxville. :p

Pretty sure he played in a game last year, and burned his RS.

Tonight at 7:30 on ESPN2 there will be a show called Hell Week that followed Station Camp HS through their summer camp.

Doubt he talks about his recruiting but might be cool to see Malone for those of you who are fans.

Wasn't trying to be negative toward Jason in any way.... love his attitude, his size, his abilities, his mom. Just reflecting what Coach Jones recently said about him which really surprised me.... that he has a long way to go.
